The Interview
Y/N's POV:
Alfred went behind my back and set up a meeting with Vicki Vale. I get changed and greet her
Y/N: Ms. Vale, sorry for making you wait.
Vicki: Don't worry, I got plenty of time.
She smiles
Y/N: Good, because Alfred is making dinner and it would be a shame if i eat it by myself.
After we have dinner, we go to the living room so she can start the interview
Vicki: So, can we get started?
Y/N: Sure.
She turns on her voice recorder
Vicki: Why did you come back?
Y/N: Didn't I already answer that?
Vicki: Off the record that time. Now I need it to be official.
Y/N: I spent five years abroad connecting to my true self and overcoming the grief over my parents' death.
Vicki: And what about the rumours that your family's company is going public?
Y/N: I trust that Mr. Earle, our CEO is doing a good job. So, we'll just have to sit and wait.
I don't trust Earle
After some more questions, Vicki ends the interview
Vicki: Well, I guess that's it. Thank you for your time, Y/N.
Y/N: Always a pleasure, Ms. Vale.
Vicki: Call me Vicki.
Y/N: Right...Vicki.
She kisses me on the cheek and leaves
After that, my phone rings
Y/N: Hello?
Kate: Hey Y/N, it's Kate.
Y/N: Hey Kate, what's up?
Kate: It's Clint, he's been kidnapped. I'm going to find him
Y/N: What?! Wait till I get there, Kate.
She hangs up the phone
Y/N: Kate? Kate! Goddamnit! Alfred, meet me in the cave!
Alfred meets me in the cave
Alfred: What is all this fuss about, Master Wayne?
Y/N: The tracksuits kidnapped Barton and Kate is gonna try and save him.
Alfred: And you think she's not ready for the job.
Y/N: I think I better find them before it's too late. I need you to track her phone.
I put on the suit and get on my bike to find Kate and Clint
45 minutes later
I get to Manhattan with Alfred on my earpiece helping me
Y/N: Anything yet?
Alfred: Try going to her adresses. Mother's apartment, her apartment.
Y/N: Were you able to track her phone?
Alfred: Negative, sir.
The hours go by fast, the sun is starting to shine and I start getting anxious. I've been in almost every place in the city
Y/N: Alfred, can you check on the properties of the shell companies for the tracksuits?
Alfred: Certainly, sir. May I ask you why?
Y/N: Try to find somewhere closed, abandoned, that you can hold hostages inside.
Alfred: Got it, KB Toy store, not a single soul there since 2016.
I head off to the store hoping to find Clint and Kate
When I get there, I contact Alfred
I hide my bag with civillian clothes in it
Y/N: I'm here.
Alfred: Good, have you found them?
Y/N: I think they're inside. I see two hostiles by the front door.
Alfred: I'll leave you to it. Good hunting, Master Wayne.
I grab a wrench and throw at one of the goons' face
I see the other one distracted and that gives me an opening
I approach him from behind and take him down
After that, I go to a nearby window and see Kate and Clint tied to kiddie rides being interrogated
Y/N: Alfred, I found them.
Alfred: Oh, good.
Y/N: Hold on...
I see Kate getting choked by a woman
Y/N: I gotta go.
I smash through the window and land on a henchman
After that, Clint breaks free and runs
Kate: Wait, how did you do that? Clint!
This forces the tracksuits to split up having to choose between me or Clint
When that happens, two goons come charging at me with punches and kicks, I manage to hit a punch to one of them, knocking him out
The second one was no better. I managed to block some of his punches before roundhouse kicking him in
Y/N: Roadhouse...
I turn around and see Kazi pointing a gun at me while Kate is still tied to the kiddie ride
Y/N: Kazi, am I right?
Kazi: Do I know you? Are you some wannabe Ronin?
Y/N: My methods are less dramatic. Although I really enjoy beating some bad guys up.
I slowly reach for my utility belt to get a shuriken
When I throw it, I miss Kazi, but I hit Kate right where I wanted
Kazi: You missed.
Y/N: That wasn't for you.
Kate frees herself and disarms Kazi, kicking him in the face afterwards
I punch him and knock him out
Y/N: Are you okay?
Kate: Nice of you to show up.
Y/N: A thank you would be nice. Go help Clint. I'll meet you outside.
Kate: What are you gonna do?
Y/N: I'm gonna slow them down so you and Clint have more time to escape.
We split up and I end up fighting a couple more tracksuits. When I see Kate and Clint leave the building, I come crashing out of a window with another goon
https://youtu.be/vr09tvqpZAE
A/N: It's between 2:40 and 2:47
Y/N: I hate windows...
I grab my bag with civillian clothes when I see Clint trying to hot wire a car
Clint: Y/N, you drive.
Y/N: What?! No! I gotta get my bike.
Kate: He can't hear you.
I see that Clint doesn't have his hearing aid
Y/N: Fine! I'll drive.
As I drive, we get chased by the Tracksuits
Kate shoots arrows at them while Clint provides arrows to her.
She shoots an explosive arrow to a van and it rolls over
Kate: Holy shit!
I drive as fast as I can and we get to Manhattan bridge
We are now stuck in the New York City traffic jam
Y/N: Great, rush hour at its finest.
The three of us get out of the car and see a car coming towards us
Kate: What is he doing?
Clint: He's gonna crash into us. Here.
He hands an arrow to Kate
Clint: Take out that truck. Aim high. Bring the arrow down on him.
Kate: What's the plan? That's just a normal arrow
Clint: I have no idea what you're saying, but I'm just gonna assume you're on board. On my mark. Ready?
Kate shoots up, and seconds later, Clint shoots another arrow , causing the other one to to grow into a giant arrow
Clint: Follow me!
The three of us jump off the bridge. Kate and Clint share the bow to use a grappling arrow while I use my grapple gun and we land on a train
Kate: Woohoo!
Y/N: I'll met you inside.
I put on an overcoat I had in my bag, a fake mustache and glasses to complete my disguise before I enter the train
I get in the train and see Kate smiling at me
Kate: Okay, first of all, you look very fashionable.
Y/N: Glad you like the disguise.
Clint: We gotta walk the dog.
Y/N: I'm going back home, can you give me a call if anything comes up?
Kate: No problem. Talk to you later, Y/N.
They drop off and I head back to the manor
When I get there, Alfred greets me
Alfred: Welcome back, sir. Has it been that long? I don't remember you having a mustache when you left last night.
Y/N: Yeah very funny.
Alfred: You haven't gotten any sleep, are you okay?
Y/N: I'll have enough time to sleep when all of this is over. I'll be at the cave.
In the cave
I'm investigating some more on the tracksuits. I hack into the NYPD network in order to find out who their leader is
Alfred: More homework, Master Wayne?
Y/N: I'm trying to find out who is running the Tracksuits. Whoever it is, they must know a lot about money laundering, shell companies, asset management, et cetera.
As I'm investigating, I notice something familiar
Y/N: Alfred, take a look at this. NYPD reports from Tracksuits that have been arrested and interrogated tell that they mentioned two names. The Uncle and The Roman. Days later, the Tracksuits that opened their mouths were murdered
Alfred: Snitches get stitches, I suppose.
I give Alfred a "really?" look
Alfred: I've never heard about this "Uncle", but The Roman...
Y/N: Falcone.
Alfred: Sir, if you're seriously considering going toe to toe against Falcone...
I cut him off mid sentence
Y/N: I'm not doing that, Alfred. Not yet. What I'm gonna do is ask why Falcone isn't behind bars. And I might just know who can tell me that.
Alfred: Who do you have in mind?
I pull a file on the responsible people on this case
Y/N: Captain James Gordon. He's not corrupt and he's responsible for this case.
After that, my phone rings. It's Kate
Kate: Hey it's me. I need your help on something. Are you busy?
Y/N: Not anymore.
Kate: I need you to help me sneak into my mom's penthouse.
Y/N: Wait, what?
Kate: I know it sounds bad, but I'll explain it better when you get here.
Y/N: That's not very reassuring.
Kate: Okay, so you're coming, right? Okay, bye!
She hangs up the phone
Y/N: I hate when she does that.
I dress up in an overcoat and a polo shirt and also grab a backpack with my gear in it
Alfred drives me to Manhattan since my bike stayed the night there
Alfred: We're here, sir.
Y/N: Thanks Alfred.
I get out of the car and Alfred drives off
I meet Kate outside of the building with the dog by her side
Y/N: Where's Clint?
Kate: Fixing his hearing aid.
Y/N: Wanna tell me why we're sneaking into your mother's penthouse in the first place?
Kate: Bishop Security has a huge criminal database. There's gotta be info on the Tracksuits and Jack in there.
Y/N: What's your stepfather got to do with this?
Kate: We're about to find out.
We go up to the penthouse using the elevator
Y/N: That's your place?
Kate: Yeah, My great, great, great grandfather built the building. I tried to swing from that very chandelier and broke my arm. So yeah, pretty impressive family all the way around.
Kate then uses her mom's computer to break into the database
Y/N: See if you can get anything on Carmine Falcone.
Kate: Falcone? Why?
Y/N: I have reasons to believe that he's involved in this mess too.
Kate: Right. It says here that Falcone is vice-president of a company by the name Sloan Limited.
Y/N: Right, Sloan...
Kate: Familiar?
Y/N: When I was investigating the Tracksuits, the same company had Kazi as an employee.
Kate: Let me see what I can pull up on Jack
I then hear a noise coming from the living room and I leave Kate to investigate it
When I get there, Jack holds Ronin's sword to my neck
Jack: Don't move.
