Explaining to the Unstoppable Murder Machine

The Doom Slayer stared.

The group stared back.

A solid ten seconds of dead silence.

And then—

Butcher crossed his arms and exhaled through his nose, completely unfazed. "Right. Well. I ain't dealin' with this sh* sober.*"

He pulled out a flask, took a swig, and wiped his mouth.

"Right then, big guy—" Butcher pointed at the Slayer. "—you're in Mumbai, India. That's Earth, in case you were wonderin'. Unless you're one of them interdimensional nutjobs, in which case—congrats. You're lost."

The Doom Slayer didn't move.

Didn't react.

Didn't blink.

Not that they could see his eyes behind the terrifyingly reflective visor anyway.

"Okay, fine," Deadpool interjected, hands on his hips. "Lemme dumb it down for ya—this is Earth. Well, A version of Earth. Maybe not yours, but a pretty okay one if you like Bollywood and street food. Also, holy sh*, that was the most metal fight scene I've ever seen in my entire existence, and I am so mad it got censored! Hey, Author—next time, give me a warning before you introduce someone who makes Kratos look like a Disney princess!*"

He turned to the group. "Seriously, where's the budget for this fanfic coming from? We just got Doom Slayer?! Is this some kind of crossover event? Are we about to see Optimus Prime next?!"

Alex sighed. "Deadpool—"

"No, seriously! What's next? Godzilla?! Oh wait, that already happened! Where's my script?! I need to see how much sh**posting budget we have left!"

Butcher gritted his teeth. "For f**'s sake—*"

Doom Slayer turned his head ever so slightly toward Deadpool.

The air grew heavier.

A single step forward.

That was it.

One movement.

And everyone instinctively tensed up like cornered animals.

Except Deadpool.

Deadpool was still talking.

"And another thing—why the hell does your armor look like it was designed by a ten-year-old hyped up on monster energy and heavy metal?! Like, don't get me wrong, it's sick as hell, but my dude, did you just wake up one day and decide, 'Yeah, I'm gonna murder hell itself'—"

BAM.

Doom Slayer backhanded Deadpool so hard that he launched like a goddamn baseball, spinning through the air.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH—"

A solid five seconds of flight time before he crashed into a distant building with a loud BANG!

The group blinked.

A long pause.

And then—

Butcher slowly turned back to the Doom Slayer.

"…Alright. I respect that."
