Synopsis for 1st story
Weasel berates Deadpool for angering the Assassins Guild. Wade retorts that it was Weasel's fault for sending him to protect a villain in the first place. Deadpool is attacked by the Harkspurs and kills them all, Threnody reanimates them as zombies and Wade has to completely dismember them to render them harmless. He chases after Threnody, only to be ambushed by Blackout, who overpowers Deadpool, only to be rendered incapable by Threnody, who sees Wade as her ticket out of the Guild. She tells Wade of the Guild headquarters, which he then infiltrates. After seemingly successfully negotiating a truce with Belladonna in exchange for Threnody's freedom, she and Deadpool turn to leave. Threnody offers to be Wade's friend, and although he rejects her, he allows her to accompany him because he doesn't trust the Guild to not try and kill her.
