Revenge
You woke up hazily in your cot at the garage, your memory only going back to leaving the cemetery.
You were uncertain how you got there, but all your efforts to investigate were halted by pain across your body, rendering you bedridden.
As you analyzed your situation, you heard the door to your room open, and to your surprise...
Was Cat.
Cat: Thank god! You're awake!
Cat rushed to sit at the side of your bed, checking your injuries which you noticed were wrapped in bandages.
You: Wha...what happened?
Cat: You tell me. I got a call a few days ago from your buddies telling me that you stumbled in here bloody and beaten.
You: The graveyard...Hammerhead...
Cat looked at you seriously.
Cat: Hammerhead? Is he the one that did this to you?
You: I think...he was there...when I dug myself out.
Cat: Dug yourself out? He buried you in a graveyard!?
You: He thought I was dead...
Cat: But you survived, and that's what counts.
You struggled to get up, but with Cat's help, managed to sit up.
You: He tried to kill me because of the bank job, meaning that no one in the crew, or you, are safe.
Cat: I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself.
You: Still, he'll keep coming for us until we stop him.
Cat: Going against Hammerhead is suicide.
You: Alone, yeah...but I got a team. And all I need is a plan.
Cat went quiet for a moment.
Cat: Look, I don't like getting involved in other people's battles, but your one of the few people I genuinely like. So...I'll help you.
You put your hand in Cat's.
You: Thanks...it means a lot.
Cat: Yeah, your welcome. Now lie back down, I don't want you hurt more than you already are.
You complied with Cat and laid down, drifting off to sleep after a while.
Several days later
You entered the planning room where the rest of the crew and Cat were waiting.
Vulture: Good, you're feeling better.
You: Still a little sore, but nothing I can't handle.
Rhino: You're endurance is impressive Malcolm. Reminds me of my mama.
Electro: We can reminisce on family later big guy, right now, we got a score to settle.
Mysterio: Agreed. We need to eliminate Hammerhead to ensure our and Miss Cat's safety.
Cat: Just Cat.
Mysterio: My apologies.
Sandman: I say we find that ugly mobster and drown him in sand!
Vulture: A noted approach, but Hammerhead has unprecedented men and resources. A head on assault would be foolish.
Scorpion: Gotta go with Vulture on this one, we need to lure him out somehow.
Rhino: Donuts! No man can resist the power of donuts!
The room went quiet as everyone harshly judged Rhino.
Cat: Anyway...I think I know how we can bring him to us.
Vulture: How so?
Cat: Hammerhead has been in a bidding war for a pairing being held in the New York Gallery, and lost just a few days ago.
Electro: Knowing Hammerhead, he'll just steal it.
Cat: Right. So if he were to find out that we were going to steal it first...
You: He'll rush out to get it from us. Genius.
Cat: I know.
Vulture: But we can't risk causing a massive shootout, so we will need to keep our numbers small. I would recommend Malcolm, Cat, myself, and Mysterio.
Mysterio: I second that notion.
Electro: Fair enough. The rest of us will hide nearby in case things go south.
You: So we have a plan, what's the paintings name?
Cat: Ave Maria, it's a portrait of The Virgin Mary, it's supposed to be nearly five hundred years old.
Scorpion: Definitely sounds valuable.
You: Alright, we set out a week from today. Anyone have anything to add?
Mysterio: I certainly hope we aren't going to do this in our regular rags.
Vulture: Seriously? At a time like this you focus on fashion?
Mysterio: a message is better received by the well-dressed.
You: Alright, fine. We'll get some suits from that suit shop I got my tuxedo from.
Mysterio: Excellent!
With that, your plan was in motion.
