Somewhere in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, a group of mercenaries makes their way through the war torn streets. They are searching every building, and dark alleys looking for something. While, unknown to them, someone is targeting them from behind. Suddenly, Deadpool bursts from a boarded window, crashing straight into the gang of mercs and proceeds to shoot and beat them down in his own inimitable style. With a flurry of jokes and put downs, Deadpool easily beats his opponents, emerging victorious over a pile of bodies he has just created.
Deadpool proceeds down the street, until he reaches a burnt-out shell of a building and walks down the steps. No sooner than he reaches the dark bottom does someone place a gun at the back of his head. Deadpool swiftly turns around and grabs the gun from Weasel’s hand, and then begins to berate him for his mistake, asking him who else would come here looking for him. Weasel wonders why Deadpool didn’t just teleport in like he usually does, at which point Deadpool explains that the teleporter in his suit is on the fritz. Weasel goes on to say that he’s heard that someone has put a target on his head, but Deadpool adds that it’s not just him who’s a target, it’s anyone who’s ever worked for Tolliver. Trying to piece the events together, Weasel manages to deduce that after Cable had killed Tolliver, the weapons dealer left his entire estate up for grabs to whoever could find it first … which could be anything.
Deadpool warns Weasel not to try anything funny, like stabbing him in the back, but Weasel says that he knows better. Deadpool explains that the reason he’s come to Weasel is that he needs help tracking down Vanessa, who disappeared in Boston after her friend Tina was killed. Just then, someone else enters the scene, someone who also has an interest in Vanessa, Garrison Kane.
