The Ronin

Y/N's POV:

As I wake up from the explosion, my hearing takes a while to come back to normal so I can understand what's going on

I then see the Ronin fighting some of the bad guys

When he's finished with them, he runs through a hole on the wall

I then call Alfred when the whole thing settles down

Alfred: Sir, are you alright? It's on the news, the hotel where the auction is happening is being surrounded by the NYPD.

Y/N: I'll explain everything when i get there.

When I get home, I tell Alfred to meet me at the cave.

In the cave:

Alfred: What is it that you couldn't tell me on the phone, Master Wayne?

Y/N: The Ronin is back.

Alfred: Did you tell him about wanting to team up?

I chuckle

Y/N: He killed a lot of criminals, Alfred. But this is what I really wanted to talk to you about.

I show him some footage of the CCTV cameras of earlier tonight when Ronin was fighting some of the bad guys on one of the cave monitors I installed. 

After that, I show him the Ronin taking on the Yakuza before he misteriously disappeared

Y/N: Spot any differences?

Alfred: The fighting style, clearly.

Y/N: Exactly. That and the fact that he doesn't leave his victims alive like that. The Ronin may be back, but he's not the same under that mask.

Alfred: I don't know if you noticed this, Master Wayne, but the Ronin is not using his sword on the footage from tonight.

Y/N: That's because it was being auctioned.

Alfred: At the same auction you were tonight, sir?

Y/N: Yes and no. The place where the sword was being auctioned was in the same place of the event. But in was this secret wine cellar. I believe it had something to do with the black market. And about the sword, I can think about two people that might have it. Armand and Jack Duquesne.

Alfred: I know Armand. He is Jack's uncle.

Y/N: Well, I think it's time to pay uncle and nephew a little visit.

I go back to the mansion and put on some new clothes before leaving the house 

I put on a pair of jeans, black gloves, a brown leather jacket, a face shield balaclava and a beret.

A few moments later, Alfred tells me to come to the garage.

He shows me a BMW motorcycle.

Alfred: Try not to scratch it, Master Wayne.

Y/N: Stay on comms.

I drive off to find Jack and Armand in order to get some answers


Kate's POV:

What a night this is being. I just saved a lot of people from a lot of bad guys and saved a dog. He's staying in my apartment now, poor thing only has one eye. 

I leave some pizza for him before using the Bishop Security network to locate Armand. He's got to know something about this

When I arrive at Armand's house, I break in through the window and explore some more of the house just to see Armand's dead body laying on the ground. But just before his maid arrived, I flee the scene

Y/N's POV:

When I get to Armand's house looking for the sword, I hear some noises coming from the living room.

Apparently, Armand was murdered and the sword was nowhere to be found. After that, I decide to get out of there and contact Alfred on my earpiece.

Y/N: Alfred, Armand is dead. I'm too late

Alfred: Sir, I am watching a live feed from the CCTV nearby. It appears that the Ronin is fighting some bad guys.

Y/N: Where?

Alfred: Two blocks from where you are.

I get on my bike and head to the place.

When i get there, I see Ronin and another hooded figure fighting the same men in tracksuits from the auction. But just as both of them were knocking everybody out, a man pulls a gun on them. Luckily, I was nearby

I get down from my bike and sneak up on the man before taking him down

After that, I see that the hooded figures are Clint Barton and Eleanor's daughter Kate.

Y/N: Whoa, you're Hawkeye.

Clint: Yeah, I am. And who the hell are you?

Y/N: It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I'm here to help.

I try disguising my voice the best I can

Clint: I don't need any help. And we need to leave.

We hear sirens in the background 

Clint and Kate walk away and I follow them

Y/N: Listen, I know that your friend here isn't the Ronin.

Clint: Why's that?

Y/N: The real Ronin doesn't leave his victims alive.

Kate: Look, just so you know, I'm not a total noob. I was a little overwhelmed, but I held my own against those douchebags.

Y/N: Whatever. The main topic is that someone murdered the man who bought the Ronin's sword from a black market auction earlier tonight. My guess is that we're up against a criminal conspiration.

Clint: Look, whatever you think this is. There's no we...

Kate cuts him off

Kate: We're here.

Y/N: We're where?

Kate: My place

Kate's apartment

Clint: Nice place for a kid.

Kate: Yeah, I inherited it.

Clint: What are you, 18?

Kate: I'm 22.

Clint: What about you, The Shadow? Would you mind taking that mask off? We can't trust each other if we don't know each other's faces.

I sigh

Y/N: Fine, but keep it a secret. Okay?

Clint: It's not like everyone in the city knows who you are...

I take off the mask

Kate: Holy shit! You're Y/N Wayne!

Clint: Can this vest come off so I can keep going?

Kate: Yeah right, I'll get changed. Don't worry, nothing to freak out here, it's just the Hawkeye and Y/N Wayne in my place. 

After a few moments, Kate puts on a purple sweatshirt and some purple pants

Clint: A 22 and 24 year old vigilantes. Are you okay?

Kate: Oh yeah, you should see the other guys.

Clint: I did, Tracksuit Mafia.

Y/N: That's their name?

Kate: Do you think they're the ones who killed my mom's fiancé's uncle?

Clint: Who?

Kate: Armand the third.

Clint: I don't know. What I need to know is that if they saw your face.

Kate: Nope. Kept the mask on like a pro.

Clint: Okay, that's good. Because the person that wore this suit made a whole lot of enemies, and the Tracksuits are one of them.

Kate: That doesn't sound good.

Clint: They must have followed you.

Just as Clint was talking, a molotov cocktail comes flying through the window. The fire spreads in a matter of seconds

Clint: We gotta go.

Kate fires an arrow to a fire extinguisher, but instead of putting out the fire, it comes flying towards me and hits me in the face

Y/N: Ouch!

Kate: Sorry!

Clint: Just grab the dog and go!

I put the dog on my shoulders and run

After that whole shenanigan in Kate's place, we got in a subway to a pharmacy to grab some supplies and head off to a safehouse

Clint: Not exactly a fortress, but it'll do, right?

Kate: It's my aunt's place. She's in Florida for the winter.

She lock picks the door and we get in

Clint: Okay, clean your wounds, use soap, this and disinfect it.

He hands us some supplies

Clint: Alright, I'm gonna go back to your apartment and get that suit.

Clint then leaves me and Kate by ourselves with the dog

I start talking in order to break the ice

Y/N: So, you're Eleanor's daughter, right?

Kate: Yep.

Y/N: I saw you at the auction earlier tonight. I gotta say, I liked the all-black look.

Kate: Oh um...thanks. How did you find me?

Y/N: I was planning on locating Armand and the sword. But as you know, I only found one of them. I was looking for answers, but I was too late. Then, the next thing I know, I'm running away from a fire with an Avenger and a rich girl that likes to help people. I like that attitude.

As I was talking to her, my phone rings. It's Alfred.

Y/N: I gotta answer this

Alfred: Sir, are you alright? I completely lost communications with you.

Y/N: I'm fine, Alfred. I'm at a safehouse right now. My earpiece must have got lost in the fire.

Alfred: Fire, you say?

Y/N: The bad guys that Ronin was fighting torched the place where I was. They call themselves The Tracksuit Mafia. 

Alfred: I'm glad that you're okay, sir.

Y/N: Don't wait up for me.

I hang up the phone

Kate: Who were you talking to?

Y/N: My partner.

Kate then notices something.

Kate: Oh my god, you're bleeding.
