two. ronin


































THIS IDEA WAS STUPID AND DANGEROUS.

Adonis could already hear his mother's voice if she found out where he was and what he was doing, and some other words that he would even feel aren't appropriate to his hearing.

His hands were going numb, he could feel the intense sensation of scratching them due to the duck tape being too tight around his wrists, and this whole riding machine they had placed him on was too uncomfortable. Adonis had woken up in a locked room, tighten up into this kiddy machine they used to put on carousels, and no one was there to keep an eye on him, he was in the dark, no weapons, not a single one he could feel.

"This is just great." He mumbled, his eyes looking around in search of some type of ventilation he could later get into as an escape route, but not a single vent, not a window anywhere, just a door. "Think, think, Don." Adonis closed his eyes, a deep breath in and out, focusing on every sound around him, focusing, he was able to pick up that there were two men outside his door keeping guard, he could hear their steps overlapping with one another.

"Open." There he was. Ivan. The door opened behind him, heavy steps following behind. "Look kid, there are only two ways out of here, you either get us the money and you're forgiven for the deaths you caused or you die right here and now."

"I am not scared to die Ivan. You killed my father in my house and you left me alive, that was your mistake." Adonis gritted his teeth at him, his jaw too tight that if he pressured enough he could break them.

"Well then, you are just as stupid as your father." Ivan pulled behind his back his gun, pointing at Adonis' forehead, the cold metal touching his skin, there was the small sound of the safety being put out, then the trigger setting behind Ivan's finger.

"Ivan, they found it. Ronin." Another man entered the room, heavy breathing as if they were running all their way over here. Ronin. He knew that name, he idolized that name.

"You guys are after Ronin? And you're calling me stupid?" Adonis dared to joke as he looked up at Ivan, chuckling in his face won him a deep hit straight on his nose with the end of the weapon. "Really? That is so low to do." Adonis groaned, his head leaning back, the itchy sensation started happening, and coming after Adonis could feel the pain from it, probably now a broken nose and bleeding running down.

Ronin. A mercenary assassin who killed many dangerous mafia guys, responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. Of course, Adonis admired the guy. He was a source of justice.

Meanwhile, the Russians were out, Adonis has been planning to free his wrists, moving his hands up and down against the rails hoping it would start to weaken, and if there were a window behind him, people would think something else of his actions, Adonis even felt weird if doing this, but he had to free himself.

"Come on, come on." Adonis kept moving his wrists, he noticed how the grey tape was slowly breaking apart from the movement, his movements quickened until he couldn't feel the tight grip on them.

"Now find an escape plan." Batting his eyes he focused on every single aspect of the room, maybe a hidden door, or hidden vent with space enough for him to fit in. But no, just a door. He had no weapons, he could just fight but could end up in death if they have weapons, and well, he couldn't kill Ivan if he was dead.

He was free from the tight grey tape but no way out, he would have to do his plan Z, wait until someone came for him and attack, steal their weapons and use them as protection. Very smart plan, yes. But waiting? Not his favorite thing to do.

Adonis returned to his seating position, hands against the metal railing just if they were still taped to it. He could hear the dangling of keys, a soft voice telling someone to hurry or they would miss seeing the suffering. Adonis closed his eyes, faking a moment of sleep, just waiting for the perfect time to attack.

"Wake up bro." With a hard slap on the back of his head, Adonis could see their feet in front of him, quickly, he took grab of the other head just gripping behind his neck, hitting him hard with his head, just to buy him time as Adonis hopped off the carousel seat.

Hitting his sides, Adonis could see how his enemy groaned in pain, trying to defend himself he tried going for his legs,  Adonis being quicker, he stopped every hit with his balance moving side or using his leg or arm to stop the hit from happening.

Closing his hand into a fist, a punch straight to his nose, Adonis gave an uppercut just underneath his jaw, throwing his balance off. The advantage with this movement Adonis kicked him straight on his chest, the guy falling on his back, and with another kick straight to his face, he got knocked out. Being quick, he took the weapons that were on his waist, a gun, and a taser.

No one had come in to check on the guy, which meant they had left him alone. Rookie mistake. Adonis creeped out of the room, looking side to side, no one was near the room, but he could hear the commotion that was happening outside.

"Kate Bishop is guy, bro." Ivan said. Adonis could see they had someone tied on a chair, he could hear his voice, but he couldn't clearly see who it was. Everyone was here to witness the Ronin. With caution, he moved the corner of the corridor to hide behind a staircase that led to another room, he was careful to not be seen by the two arms man chatting on the last step of it.

"Kate Bishop is not guy." The man they had didn't seem that menacing, or at least his voice didn't seem like it, so Adonis discreetly stood up just a bit to take a peek behind Ivan's huge body, his eyes not believing what they were seeing, the one and only Hawkeye were there, an Avenger.

Was Hawkeye, Ronin? Couldn't be, maybe he knew where the Ronin was hiding, but they had said a name, Kate Bishop, they were looking for that person, and maybe that person was Ronin. Ivan's voice saying that Kate Bishop was a guy in a costume, would've made him giggle, they clearly didn't know anything.

Adonis continued to hide, he could help Hawkeye escape but the difference of bodies in the room wasn't to his advantage, he could take out a few, and Hawkeye could take some other but, still, there were too many of them.

"Can I speak to your manager? This is like talking to furniture." Hawkeye sighed and looked around, the tracksuit guys showed signs of offense but Adonis could see the point, they weren't getting anywhere really. Adonis smiled at the sight of Hawkeye releasing himself from their rope, something he could've done easily if they hadn't used tape on him instead.

"Where is Kate Bishop?" One of them asked pointing their gun at Hawkeye, they were even scared of him, funny really. A screaming sound above caught the attention of Adonis, someone was on the roof or something, probably another Avenger or maybe a S.H.I.E.L.D agent coming to rescue the hero.

Adonis took his weapon out to have it near and safe in case things gets messy and he can help Hawkeye get out of here. The loud sound of the roof collapsing had everyone looking down, a girl with a purple uniform, bow, and arrow.

"That is Kate Bishop then." Adonis finally connected the dots, looking back at the scene, the mafia guys had their guns pointed at the young female, Clint didn't even bother to ask her anything, there was a faint annoyance in his expression.

"Oh wow, didn't realize we were supposed to bring guns." She chuckled nervously, knowing that she was in trouble too.

"Bro, bring me another seat for Kate Bishop, we have to secure she doesn't do anything stupid." One of the guys followed the order, Adonis hid within the shadows when he noticed he was gonna walk past him, with the help of another guy, they brought another seat and duck tape to secure them.

Adonis could've intervened, do something, but he knew it was too risky. He could've stood up and leave them, but he was curious about how this could end and what Ronin was connected into all of this chaos, and the appearance of the one and only Hawkeye in the room. Too many questions, not much time.
