Perhaps this SHIELD took down Hydra for good and this led to them either being shut down or down-sized. That could explain the half torn-apart helicarrier and Bob no longer working for Hydra; which always struck me as an organization that you signed on for, for life. As well as explain how Ajax was able to operate on it without alerting anybody. Whether this means some form of Nick Fury, Cap, Red Skull, etc also existed is up for debate. In my headcanon, Deadpool takes place after Winter Soldier. Hydra and Shield have both been shattered, leading to Bob needing to find work. The helicarrier at the end of DP was one of the three helicarriers destroyed at the end of TWS... just my headcanon. Yes, before anyone says something, I KNOW they are separate. Just because they're both separate worlds doesn't mean you're wrong. A version of Winter Soldier's events could've easily happened in the X-MCU. ;) If you follow the comics, you'll know that most worlds in the MCU are identical except for small, key differences that end up changing the futures, not the present or the pasts.
