Suspect Journal entry #3 for Deadpool
I've never been part of a superhero team before, Deadpool thinks to himself as he looks at his acid-burned, Xenomorph guts-covered Power Rangers uniform. He conveniently avoids any lingering thoughts of X-Force, his mercenary team that lost over half its members while skydiving in gale-force winds... or that time he applied for a job with the Avengers, but Tony Stark's chauffeur rejected him.

He isn't even paying attention to the big reveal of who's wearing the Mandalorian's armor other than Din Djarin . If he had been paying attention, he might have noticed the body of Cara Dune under the Beskar plate armor ... or the familiar face of Pedro Pascal disguised as a certain mustachioed plumber watching intently from across the room.



With his subterfuge undetected, Din moves to gather up his similarly-disguised charge Grogu and they head back to his N-1 starfighter, ready to return to their galaxy far, far away.



What Deadpool is paying attention to, is the fact that Black Beauty just walked into the main atrium of the ArtScience museum, where everyone is currently gathered.

"There you are, you beautiful black bitch," Deadpool hisses cattily.

"Moi?" RuPaul asks, arching an eyebrow.

"Not you, you're fabulous." Deadpool whispers, refocusing on Black Beauty. "Care you explain yourself? You cost me a lot of Ryan Reynolds' Mint Mobile money."

Adrian Monk starts panicking behind the Studio Ghibli Exhibit.




"So you didn't actually want to kill Black Beauty?" Twilight Sparkle asks. "I knew you weren't all bad!"

"Of course not!" Deadpool exclaims. "I may be a mercenary who indiscriminately kills people for money, convenience, and ever-so-often sometimes just for funsies... but I'm an animal lover at heart. I am highly regarded by American Humane, and PETA and I are in talks to do an upcoming reboot of their "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign.


"I empathize with your affinity for animals," John Wick says. "I lost a dog once."

A hand taps Hiccup on the shoulder while Deadpool is talking.

"Do you have a moment? I'd like to show you something," Dr. Lee tells the young viking.

They move back to the lab, where the egg that Yen and Matt Damon tried to steal rests in a cushioned box.

"Why is that packed up in what looks like a to-go box?" Hiccup asks.

"Because that's exactly what it is." Dr. Lee explains. "We just discovered something extraordinary."

Dr. Lee picks up the fossilized egg and gently pulls the rocky exterior away, revealing a thinner iridescent membrane underneath.

"That's a dragon egg," Hiccup breathes. "A real one. I thought it was just a fossil."

"As did we... at first." Dr. Lee said. "But we realized that it was a piece of misidentified igneous rock."

"Holy shit!" Hiccup exclaims. "You mean Zoolander was right? About science?"

"It's not something I'm proud to admit, but yes. His geologic theory caused us to take a deeper look and it appears that this dragon egg was quickly covered layered over in lava, the heat of which preserved it... and its contents."

"You mean there's still a dragon hatchling in there?"

"There is," Dr. Lee smiles. "And you know better than anyone that a dragon egg can only hatch if it has a dragon to nurture it. The heat of the lava preserved it, but it needs a parent to hatch it. And you're the only one that knows where their hidden world is."

Hiccup gazes at the egg lovingly.

"So will you take it?" Dr. Lee nudges.

"I will," Hiccup says, taking a deep breath. "I'll leave tonight."




Follow me to this year's masquerade party!
