[☝️Which is your favorite Ip man theme? I personally like the 3rd movie's theme]

It's been too long. A while even since I saw them. When I got shipped to God knows where, I knew that my son would need to be strong himself to protect himself, as well as Linda. My tours around the world have taught me new things everyday. Until the day that the company decided to retire me.

No, I don't mean they fired me for a mistake I made. No. They gave me a raise and told me to head back to my family. It's been 5 years since I last saw them; including baby [Y/N]. Being so far and for this long can have a toll on your brain and psyche.

I am driving back home and tried to call Linda. She normally picks up the phone and likewise, I so too - only if I'm not on shifts. It's unusual for her to be silent. We talked to each other a lot of time and I even get to see my son grew. I believe he's 10 this year. Kids grow up so fast.

By the time I reached the house, I call her again. She didn't pick up. I began to worry that she may have been cheating on me, but she wouldn't. She worked in a mental institute as a psychological doctor for particular patients. She loved me and my son dearly. If she is still here, I am hoping to make amends and reconnect with them.

I got out of the car and walked up to the door. I took a step and press the doorbell.

*Bling!*

"I'll get it", I heard another woman's voice inside the house. Strange. Her voice is more cheery. When she opens the door, I am met with a completely different person. She had bandages all over her and her hair is bright pink. This is not Linda.

Girl 1: Oh hello! Who are you?

Me: I'm sorry to intrude here, but may I step inside?

The girl then closes the door before going back to me and said, "Sorry, we're not available for visitors."

Me: Oh. I see.

She then shuts the door infront of me. Okay? I then decide to go to the closest neighbor and ask him if there's anything particular happen awhile back. I came to his door and knocked it. Hopefully, I am not meet with another person.

Neighbor: [Opens the door] Hi there.

Me: Hi. I need to ask you, if you don't mind.

Neighbor: Sure. Ask me anything.

Me: Okay so, were there any moving trucks passing by?

Neighbor: Hmm. I'm not sure.

Me: Were there any truck parked outside this [Gesturing to my family and I house] house?

The neighbor looked outside to look at the house and they said, "Other than that car, there were no trucks lying about."

Me: Oh, I see. Thank you.

Neighbor: You're welcome.

Okay, now something is awfully wrong is going on. I need answers now!

. . . . .

Inside a couple of girls were chit chatting till they heard the doorbell ring again. One of them tried to got to the door, but the other stops her. She then nods to a bigger girl and she goes to answer the door.

Girl 2: What do little man want?

Me: Mind if I check inside?

Girl 2: But Linsey said no visitors.

Me: Linsey?

Girl 2: Is little man going to leave?

Me: Your name is Bridget, I assume?

Girl 2: Little man know Bridget name?!

Oh no. That means the MI have escapees. I need to act fast, but accordingly to not stir up tension.

Me: Yes. Would you kindly calm down and let me enter?

Bridget: Yes.

The big woman let me inside and the place is relatively clean. I make sure to pull my mask up and began to do a little exploration around the house, checking every room until... I checked the master bedroom.

What I saw, horrified me to the core. Linda being strapped and gagged, while two girls were messing with her. By the time one of them saw me, she yelled out, "Bridget, get him!"

I swiftly turn around and see the big woman trying to hug me. Not today. I dodge forward and kicked the woman out the room before I chased the other two out. I went to Linda and untie her. When I removed the gag, she told me that they got [Y/N]! Now this has become personal.

I told her, "Find [Y/N] and lock yourself inside of his room." I snatched my phone and give it to her, "Here. Use it to call the police." She looked at me in the eye, just as Bridget slowly gets up, "What are you going to do?" I simply told her, "My duty."

By the time I told her to leave, Bridget is already back up with her fist raised up. I raised my fist up too and we wait.

Bridget: Bad man must be punish for freeing Bad Lady.

Me: What did she ever do with you?

Bridget: Bad Lady make unfair rules and keep us from Little Baby.

Me: Those rules are meant to keep us in check. All of us! And if you think you can harm my family, you're making a mistake.

Bridget: And what Little Man is going to do?

I just stare at her, cracked my knuckles and waited. We just stood like this for a time, till another girl ordered Bridget, "Get him!"

The big woman started charging at me. I waited till she closed the distance. She threw a straight punch, but I dodge low and elbow her abdomen. Her sounds of pain, alerted me to do the same, but on the side.

Bridget: Ugh! Little man, make Bridget angry!

The woman slammed her fist to the floor, which she only manage to crack it, only for me to lock her arm to the other side, kick her legs to point where her head is in striking distance from my boots. And so I booted her head.

She disengaged me for a bit, before trying to tackle me. I slipped underneath her - thank God she's wearing pants - and flipped her over me. I proceeded to hit her as hard as I can, while defending myself by using my elbow as a shield and to swipe her attack. By the time she's down, she looked up to me and ask, "How Little Man hurt Bridget, but Little man didn't get hurt."

I replied to her, "You were sloppy, brutal and inefficient."

Bridget: But Bridget stronger than Little man.

Bridget rushed into get close and that's when I unleashed a flurry of punches and strike it to her body. To the eyes of many, it's like a blur. My fists connect to regions of her body weak points, hurting her to the point that she is grunting in pain. We turned, as this was going on. But I was then thrown down the stairs by someone else.

Girl 1: Owie >/\/\<

I got back up, but then I was kicked again by another girl.

Girl 2: Get up Jessie.

Jessie: I am I am.

I stood up to see, now, three girls in front of me. All of them have varying sizes, with the tallest being Bridget and the shortest being Jessie, I assume.

Girl 2: You got a lot of nerves coming here, Mister.

Me: Why have you invaded my home?! Why did you hurt my wife?! And where is my son?

Girl 2: Okay. She took what's ours and we needed to teach her some discipline. Your "son" is with our other.

Bridget: Be careful, Linsey. Bad Man hurt Bridget hard.

Me: Your discipline is flawed and barbaric. You will not harm my family!

Linsey: Come on. Look at us, is three to one. You will lose and we will do anything we want. What an "asian-english man" can do against us?

I raised my fist up and said, "Fight for what's worth."

Jessie pulled out a weapon and charged right at me. She strike her weapon, but her aiming is off. I took the chance to take it off her, and before she ran, hit her with it.

Linsey: Hmm. Okay then, you fight three of us at once!

The three women charge at me and I knew if I'm not careful, it could spill the end of me. Linsey was the first one to make it to me, but I hit her with the end of the weapon. Knocking her aside, Jessie closed in with a wild hook. I grabbed her and slammed her to the floor. I feel my abdomen is squeezed before I was thrown into the kitchen.

Jessie: Nice work, Bridget.

I got back up and was immediately met by a kick to the face. I've had mere moments before the impact strike my face to cover it with my hands. It hurt, but my will won't back down on me.

We all fought with pans, kitchenware and things flailing out till we all ended up outside. I was nearly beaten and bruise, but I will not back down. The girls were, more or less, in pain, grunting with each movement that they make.

Me: Stop. Now!

Linsey: We won't back down.

The fight continue for much longer than anticipated, but I still need to keep being strong.

After downing both Jessie and Linsey, I thought I was done. However, Bridget manage to sneak up behind me, held me up and send me crashing onto the floor, before kicking me to my abdomen.

Linsey: Good job, Bridget. Now we'll discipline him the same way we did to her.

I was feeling a daze as my vision blurred. I felt like I am losing, but then I remembered what I fight for when I saw the picture of me, Linda and my [Y/N]. I saw the three walking up to me. I saw two belts and a ball of some kind.

I wished I wouldn't use this. I must not let this emotion be set loose. But it's my only chance to save them. Linda, if you can hear my shouts, forgive me.

I slowly began to rise from my pain. I looked at the women dead in the eyes. My posture may be lacking, but I'm just waiting.

Linsey: Aww, the Bad Man still has fight in him. Bridget *snaps* you know what to do.

Bridget slowly walk towards me, her face indicate me that she do enjoy these kind of torture. I will not let them have their satisfaction. She put a hand on one of my shoulders and then...

SMACK! GRAB!

Bridget: AAHH!

PULL! HEADBUTT!

Me: HAAAA!!!

PUNCH!

I pushed her hand away, grabbed her nose by the holes, pull her to me, head butt her head and then I punch her sternum hard.

Bridget: AAHH! Bad Man will be disciplined!

She ran at me. I too ran at her. By the time we clash, I let my emotions take hold of me. For every strike I throw, I shouted, each hitting her very hard. By the time she was at the ground, I was pummeling her with every punch I got, till I put her down with my foot.

Next up, it was Jessie. I think Linsey ran when she could. When I look at Jessie, I can already tell that my rage must have stunned her. She was about to strike me, until I made a shout and she stopped - then fainted.

Linda's POV

There is no way I'm letting her get my son. I know their psyche, I know what they'll do. Marie is not like the others. She's shy and in need of attention. I have to calm down both my son and her and waited till my husband arrived.

That's when I heard a knock.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Linsey: I know you're in here, Linda! You with our [Y/N] and Marie!

Me: Linsey, you are not getting my son! This is the last straw!

Linsey: [Laugh] And who's going to save you? Your husband?

My husband? Oh no. What if...

Linsey: I have sent Jessie and Bridget to deal with him. And can you hear that? The sound have died out!

No! If he is dead, then I must protect my family. Before I could do something, I heard Lindsey's voice again.

Linsey: What?! H-How did... Hey, I'm just checking on Linda and [Y/N], that's all. He he he 😅

Before I know it, I heard whipping, banging and shouting. Mason is alive! But the shouting. He promised to try and contain his emotions. He promised to stay calm, even in the toughest of times. Mason, why did you let this happen?

After that the sound drowned out and the door slowly open. I put myself in front of Marie and [Y/N] and waited. When I saw Linsey, I was shocked! And angry. If she ever messes with my husband I'll -!

Linsey: Heh, you have one tough husband, I'll give ya that.

She then collapses in front of us. I looked to the door and see another figure walking in. He smiled when we meet eye-to-eye. When [Y/N) looked to him all he could say, "Papa?" And ran to him. We are now all happy together. And just in time, the police finally arrived.

No one's POV

The police arrived at the door and they all burst in with tasers in hand.

Police 1: This is the police, freeze!

The police looked over the place and see it all been brought to ruin. Luckily for them, 2 out of 4 of the alleged escapees are on the ground. The next two were found near the family: Linsey Marrowind and Marie Stevens, though the former ended up being restrained, while Marie is guided safely by the authorities.

. . . . . . . . .

Linda's POV

It has been a week since the incident. While many were affected by it, non were as much as our family. I walked down the hallway and smile at all of the personnel around the facility till I reached my patient's chamber.

Jessie: H-Hi doc.

Me: Jessie. Have you taken your meds yet?

Jessie: N-No.

She seems a bit agitated. It's probably the medicine, but as I went to reach for it, Jessie lashed out.

Jessie: Where's [Y/N]? Is he with you? In your office?

Me: Jessie. Do you want me to bring him here?

Jessie: N-No.

Me: Can I inspect your medicine?

Jessie hesitantly nod and I inspect it. I open the container and I did see shards of glass inside. I looked over to Jessie and made a blank expression.

Me: Jessie?

Jessie: I-I'm sorry. Please don't bring him here! Please! I promised to be a good girl.

Me: Excellent.

I walked outside and dump the container in the trash can. I tell over the comms, "Patient Jessie need a new set of her medicine, please."

I walked a couple few blocks to check on Marie. She seems to be doing alright. I kept my son here with her as a form of communication. Marie seems to be steadily improving on her social skills. To me, [Y/N] is more happy to be with Marie than any other of the girls that escape last week.

I then went to the next room, where Bridget is at. Surprisingly, in an alarming rate, it seems as though Bridget has steadily improving and it seems as though she is beginning to remember her old self.

Me: Bridget.

Bridget: Oh, hello doctor. Do you need to check on me?

Me: How are you feeling?

Bridget: Uhhhhh... Fine, I guess. It hurts that my memories are coming back. My head still feel like it rattles around after what you told me. I can't believe I turned into a monster. Now what would people think of me?

Me: Bridget, once you are able to recover your memories, then we can discuss about that issue. But for now, take a rest or do something productive.

Bridget: Okay Doctor.

I finally reached the last of my patients. The most dangerous of them all: Linsey Marrowind.

Me: Linsey.

Linsey: Doctor.

Me: Are you feeling well today?

Linsey: Like I'm talking to some bitch and her husband.

Me: Now now, that's rude for talking like that.

Linsey: Whatever, I'll escape again and I will get my [Y/N]! You know I won't stop, until I get what I want!

Me: Linsey, you don't want me to bring someone in here.

Linsey: Who? Your retard of a husband?

The door open and a man in dark clothing approached the box. Immediately, Linsey went down like a dog and begged for mercy.

Me: Right on time, Honey

Linsey: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't say your retard or your wife is a bitch. Please, I'm so sorry.

?: Enough.

His voice finally silenced her.

?: Linda.

Me: Mason. Thank you for disciplining her. She's a real troublemaker for sure.

Mason: I'm sure we can find ways to settle it peacefully, but then again she did assaulted you, tried to kidnap [Y/N] and broke a law by breaking and entering.

Me: True.

With that Mason stood beside me as I am about to begin the session and hopefully help Linsey get over her obsessive personality. Linsey meanwhile, she is terrified by my Husband's presence. Before I would begin though, Linsey decided to ask my Mason a question, "Why did you fight us, despite our advantages?"

He answered, "I fight for my family. They are the sole reason why I fight to protect. It is the job of every father to do what is needed to help and protect their family. Family is what's worth fighting for."

Those words I can live by.
