Deadpool and Bob are tasked with stopping Taskmaster from killing a U.S. senator with some lax views on immigration. Things get weird when Bob learns that Taskmaster raised and trained Deadpool and he thinks of her as a mother. Things get even weirder when Bob learns that Taskmaster also thinks of Deadpool as a son--a son with benefits.
