July 17 2006 midnight

In the outskirts of the city, A warehouse is buzzing with activity in the middle of the night

Inside it 21 men or so we're loading up crates after crates of guns into a truck, one man with the dragon tattoo on his face is currently supervising the loading of the cargoes

This men are kingpin's men, kingpin is the overlord of new york's criminal underground, he has a monopoly of guns, drugs and even human trafficking

Now if this shipment made it to the black market, it would lead to the New yorks crime rate to rise exponentially, so it's no surprise that attacking this shipment would bring down quite a few percent of the street crime

A silhouette of a man is quietly observing them in the shadows above the ceiling, this man is Alex on his dark knight suit

The suit looks very intimidating, as only the blood red eyes and blood red bat logo situated oh his chest are currently visible "Athena, stop the recording and plot a course for an efficient take down" Alex voice is modified by the suit into a much deeper and grimmer one

"Okay Father" Athena replied

To others Alex is just standing there observing everything but what really is happening is that Alex with his Augmented Reality helmet, he was seeing different patterns on the easiest way to take the down criminals with brutal efficiency

"Let the hunt begins" as the logo and his eyes disappeared leaving only a silhouette without recognizable feauture, a ghost if you will

Alex pulled three batarangs from his utility belt and throws them towards the breaker, the lights went off and the men below panic, they each scrambled to get their guns and flashlights, Jumping down, Alex releases his wrist mounted blades and stab the goons underneath him, he activates the taser shocking them at the same time

Hearing the screams of down goons, the boss man quickly orders the two nearest to him and shouted "hey you two! Go on and Check it!" but before any of two could move two Batarangs embedded on their guns with red blinking lights "oh shi-" the Batarangs exploded rendering the guns useless and knocking their owner with them

Another few more batarangs flew and shock four more goons

Alex then grabs a shock goon in the head and throws him towards the other three then Alex follows by throwing four more Explosive Batarangs knocking them unconscious, The veteran ones compose themselves and started shooting at where Alex was previously

Alex jump out of the way then hid to the shadows, Alex use his webshooter and shot it towards a goon's leg and pulled him fast toward him, Alex then delivers a knee to the head knocking the goon unconscious

The others tried to illuminate what was attacking them to no avail

Alex dash to another goon and delivered a jaw breaking punch and then releases his wrist blade as he slash at the hands holding the gun cutting it off, the man screamed bloody murder

The Boss started panicking, he doesn't know who or what was attacking them but it's definitely agile and had no trouble taking them down, he started shooting randomly without even thinking that he was killing other goons, he did not care as long as he can kill the shit head that's been attacking them

Screams of death echoed throughout the warehouse, as Alex web the boss up and pulled him hard, Alex then catch the boss on the neck and hold up the air

The boss tried to struggle as the hold gets tighter and tighter on his neck

"who..a-are..yo..u...?" The boss man ask

The blood red eyes and Batman logo appeared menacingly on Alex as he pulls the boss man closer to his face and said "I'M BATMAN!"

Then "BANG!" he choke slam the man into passing out

"Congratulations Father, 21 men down in 3 minutes, Batman would be proud!" Athena said "but I do think that if you had use your gun with the help of AR, you could do it much more faster"

"Now Athena, why would I do that? Where's the fun in that?" Alex said as he began to gather the unconscious men and web them together "Athena would you be a dear and call the cops please" Alex said to Athena

And Athena replied in Affirmative

He proceeded to leave but stop when he saw a delivery slip with various sites on where the guns should be delivered, he said "now that's convenient, it seems like I'm not sleeping tonight! let's spread the fear of the bat shall we then?"

BrooOOM!

The bat car came running towards him as he jumps and entered the cockpit and speed through the street as he vanish

Agent Romanov POV

'been a few weeks now and I still have no lead on the Man, it's like his a ghost grr..my shopping money' I'm doing my usual window shopping to relieve stress when suddenly a fucking hostage scene happened "fuck I hate my life"

The hostage taker was holding a kid on a gun point and was requesting for a getaway vehicle,I'm debating if I should interfere or not I look to the right and saw a whack out window of a convience store "a robber?", two cops are trying to convince the man to let the kid go

Two passer by walks in and (a father and daughter perhaps?) The daughter seems to urge his father? to do something about it, The man sighed and proceeded to walk towards the hostage taker as his daughter stays back

Looking closer; the man is quite tall, 6'3 hunch back, wears baggy clothes, Large circular glasses and messy hair, overall the perfect non threatening passerby but he seems too perfect too me for the role and that gives my spy sense a tingling feeling

The hostage taker notice the man coming and tightened his hold on the kid making the kid cry even more

The man look at the kid then the hostage taker and raise his arms up, the man tries to convince the hostage taker to let the kid go and make him the substitute hostage instead

The hostage taker looks back at the kid with guilt in his eyes then at the man as he gestured for him to come closer

The man calmly walk towards the hostage taker and submitted himself to his mercy, the police caught the child as the hostage taker let the kid go, the police gave the man with a nod of appreciation

The hostage taker then continued to make demands as two more police car came which distracted him

The man use the hostage taker's distraction and grabs the gun pointed at his head, as he twisted his body out of the way, then kick the hostage taker in the nuts loosening its grip on the gun, the man then pulled it away and step back, reloading it then point the gun back towards the hostage taker

The police quickly came and apprehended the hostage taker and the man then surrendered the gun as the parents of the kid thank him for saving their child

the man then turned towards his daughter? as she gave him a thumbs up

"Now that was interesting" I said as I pulled up my phone and take a few photos of the man

The man move with brutal efficiency, he moves like a well trained spec ops veteran and moves much better than any Agents of Shield, that's enough to get him in Nick's radar and enough to make up of my possible failure

'Though I wonder is he an Operative?" I thought as the man seems to notice me staring at him, his eyes seems narrow for a bit then he look at his daughter and urge her that they should get going

My eyebrow raise at the man's reaction that seems to gave me a sense of deja vu

I quickly dialed the HQ to inform Nick on this development

"Hello Shield's Plumbing services how can I help you?" I rolled my eyes at the HQ's antics

"Yes I would like to talk to your manager an Eagle seems stuck on one of the pipes you recently fix" sigh ...I really hate doing this kind of shit 'really an Eagle, I don't know who created this but he sure needs a few fix on the head' I thought

"Oh can we have your Receipt number please so we can identify your claims?" The middleman said

"BW-L6 54321"

"Okay we're patching you through"

After a while Nick's voice can be heard in the other side of the phone

"It's finally nice to have you back Agent Romanov, tell me do you have the man or what?" Nick said with annoyed voice

"No..."

"Then why the fuck did you call me Natasha!?" geez do he really need to shout like that

"No I'm calling because I happen to come across a man that may warrant your attention" I said to Nick confidently because I'm sure this would save my shopping money from harms way

"Oh.....does it now? Do you really expect me to accept this as compensation for your failure?" He said

"The man was TOO well trained Nick, better than any of our man, the way he dress, move and hold a gun, the man looks like an operative to me"

"Now that's someting.......Well then report to HQ tomorrow and well talk about your shopping money" he said and I'm sure his raising his eyebrows right now

"Okay I'll be there at 9 am " cutting the connection I pump my fist then yelled "Yes! My shopping money is secured!" and walk away with added skip on my heel.
