82 That worked out.

Andrew and Laura rushed out of the building, and summoned Mimi and jumped on his back, while pulling Laura on as well. She looked at him confused before Mimi grew in size and they took off at high speed with everyone screaming in terror and confusion as they ran past.

"SINCE WHEN COULD MIMI DO THIS!?" Laura shouted as she clung to Andrew.

Andrew and Laura arrived first at the power station, seeing Noriko on her knees with a katana held against her throat, buy a figure dressed like a ninja. Another man stood beside Noriko with a pistol at her head, wearing a similar all black suit, with multiple knives spread over his body.

"You guys got here fast! 15 minutes from the casino to here? That's like a 15km trip, you guys must have been hauling some mighty large ass." Dex said.

Andrew summoned his sword, marching towards him with a furious glare.

"Let her go, and I won't make you eat your own ballsack."

Dex cocked the pistol back raising a finger.

"Ah, ah, ah. One more step and I splatter this poor little girls brains all over the place."

Andrew and Laura froze both gritting their teeth and clenching their fist.

"aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The sound of screaming drew their attention towards the sky. They all looked up to see the source, with a small black figure falling towards them, the screams grew louder. Suddenly stopping and restarting, when suddenly Colleen landed holding Kate in her arms, who continued to scream. Colleen let her drop on the floor and she quickly dusted herself of and cleared her throat, drawing her weapon at Dex and Clint. Everyone looked at her confused, as she kept her focus on Dex and Clint, ignoring their gaze and her blushing.

"Can we all stop looking at me, and get back to the hostage negotiations?" Kate said.

"There is no hostage situation. Dick and C**t over there are gonna drop their weapons and start begging for their lives." Andrew said.

"Really, shouldn't say stuff like that in a hostage situation, it might 'trigger' me." Dex said pushing the gun against Noriko's head.

"What do you two want? Wasn't failing an assassination once enough?" Kate asked.

"We didn't fail the assassination! We had a clear shot at him, in his office, and then something melted our bullet in an instant." Dex shouted.

"I feel like you're just saying you failed, with extra words." Kate said.

Clint lifted Noriko's head even higher with his katana.

"Tell us what you're planning, otherwise she bleeds to death in your arms."

"We're not gonna tell you shi-" Kate said.

"Me and Laura went in as security to scout the place and feed information to Kate, so she could make the kill while it looks like we tried to keep him safe. Nori was to cause a panic inside the casino with a black out, so we could get him alone." Andrew said.

Everyone turned to Andrew glaring at him, as a small shard of Mimicry crept out from Noriko's pocket, crawling up to her shoulder.

"See I knew you were a good boy." Dex said.

"I knew people could be c**ts but f**k me you two are the biggest I've meet so far, and I've met some evil people." Andrew said.

Dex chuckled and then pulled the trigger.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Everyone screamed.

*Click* Everyone froze confused. They stared at their weapons shaped like a spike.

"FRY EM NORI!"Andrew shouted.

Dex and Clint attempted to grab another weapon, with a crackle of lightning, they were struck by bolts of lightning sending them flying. Laura, Colleen and Kate rushed and hugged Noriko, while Andrew dragged Clint and Dex twitching bodies. He pulled off their mask, their eyes swirling and their bodies still twitching and crackling with lightning.

"Wake up." Andrew said glaring at them.

He summoned his sword and rammed it through Dex's shin bone. His eyes came alive and he let out a blood curdling scream, grabbing the sword and trying to pull it out. Andrew took a knee beside him and grabbed his face, Dex took deep breaths and glared at Andrew.

"Do you have idea, how much trouble you're in? You just attacked two Avengers that are way hig-ARGHHH!"

Andrew twisted the sword in his leg.

"You kidnap my teammate. You hold a gun to her head, and a katana. Now you expect me to be afraid?" He said with a hidden rage.

Andrew summoned another sword and plunged into Clint's shin, holding his mouth shut as he screamed out.

"HEY! YOU WANT TO HURT SOMEONE YOU HURT ME!" Dex shouted at Andrew.

He pulled the sword out of Clint's shin and made them hold hands. Using the rope to fetch the moulded katana, Andrew fixed the katana and rammed it through their hands. The two of them screamed out in pain as Andrew tossed them aside.

"I want you two to remember this, and I want anyone else, who's dumb enough to try it. If you ever hurt my teammates in anyway, there's no power in the world that's gonna stop me from destroying your life."

Andrew took out his phone.

"Hawkins, call an ambulance for these two idiots."

"Andrew, I must report this to the Director and you will be-"

"Just do it, and tell her I intend to accept the punishment alone. These four did nothing that harmed them, it was just self defence for Nori."

The four them stared at Andrew silently.

"We're gonna change the plan on how we finish this contract. Nori's not gonna cause a black out from siphoning the power here."

"What am I gonna do?" Noriko asked.

"You're gonna go in and siphon the power directly from the casino. There's something or someone dangerous in that building, and we're gonna draw it out."

"What about not getting caught or associated with the assassination?" Colleen asked.

"We say we were investigating a threat and need a way to draw it out. If not we say it was a safety drill. Now let's go, I'm sick of seeing these two." Andrew said walking off.

The four of them silently and awkward walked off leaning away from Dex and Clint moaning and groaning on the ground.

"Colleen, Kate, you two are on standby. I have a bad feeling about this Phillip guy."

Andrew summoned Mimi and jumped on his back. Kate and Noriko watched in confusion as it grew in size.

"Uhh, could you always..."

"It's taxing on my Chi to make Mimi into a mount. So hurry up and get on Nori."

Mimi knelt down, Noriko and Laura quickly climbed on and they took off, with dust kicking up behind them.

"You can let out squeal Colleen." Kate said.

"OH MY GOD HE WAS SO HOT! DID YOU SEE HOW BADASS HE LOOKED?" Colleen said jumping up and down.

"Yeah...even I have to give him that. I have only ever dreamed of doing what he just did."

Andrew, Laura and Noriko arrived back at the casino, with the sun setting, and entered the lobby.

"You two go to the basement."

"Andrew, you seem even more on edge." Laura said.

"It's something about what Dex said. Something melted their bullet. They would have to use an incredibly large calibre round, just to even reach the floor of his office.

"And something even bigger to get through that glass, yet he said something melted their bullet." Laura said.

"Exactly, I'm going to go find him. Cause the power outage, and I'll find-"

With a large gasp of air, a long flowing red cape appeared in front of Andrew and grabbed him suddenly disappearing. Laura and Noriko looked around frantically. Andrew was dropped down in the office in front of Hood.

"WHERE ARE MY WEAPONS!?"

Andrew reeled back at the volume and glared back at him, seeing Phillip cowering in the corner.

"You can teleport and melt a bullet, but you still want pistols?"

"WHERE ARE THEY?"

"Stop yelling. I put the request in. They can be picked up at the closest S.H.I.E.L.D station."

"Why aren't you afraid of me?"

"Guy with glowing eyes, an echoing voice that sounds like a bad Darth Vader impression, is the least scary thing I've seen in 6 months."

Hood sat down in the chair, his glowing eyes went to a normal hazel.

"Jesus man, what have you seen?"

Andrew let out a long sigh, and leaned back.

"Buddy I've seen way too much shit, where do I even begin? I've seen gigantic spiders covered in needles, gods with gambling problems, powered ninjas ruining the world, vengeful souls trying desperately to satisfy their blood thirst."

"You saw all of that? In 6 months?" Hood asked.

"Yeah, now if I had to take an educated guess. I'm guessing that Phillip over there isn't actually the 'real' owner of this place. He's just a pretty face, and you gave him that nice scar, because he got a bounty put on his head."

"You're right, I own this casino, but this magical cloak is bonded to me. I can't very well promote my casino, while I look like I'm doing a red riding hood cosplay."

"Magical clothing that ruins aspects of your life, I am familiar with that too. I can refer you to specialist who deals with magical curses and other paraphernalia. Hope I used that word right."

"You did, but it sounds like you want to make a deal."

"I do. I have no interest in fighting you. Your powers look like a real headache to deal with. So here's what I'm proposing. I need to send proof to the client, of his corpse crying with piss stains."

"WAIT PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!"

A black rope mummified Phillip in an instant, Hood looked at him impressed.

"That's a neat power. I've been teleporting him to the roof and threatening to drop him off, to make him shut up."

"So do we have a deal? You talk to S.H.I.E.L.D's magical expert, and maybe regain control of your casino again. My team finishes the contract on that guy."

Hood teleported next to Andrew with his hand out, Andrew stood up and shook his hand.

"If you don't mind me asking, a guy like that doesn't end up in this kind of situation unless he did something bad."

Hood teleported away for a second and came back instantly, tossing Andrew a USB stick.

"Every piece of damning evidence on this piece of shit is on that USB."

Andrew plugged it in his phone, seeing hundreds of photos of children in playgrounds and schools. He turned his head towards Phillip struggling in the ropes.

"He's a pedo, I can see why he got a bounty put on his head."

"Actually, he's also a manslut. He slept with a rich patron's wife, and that guy put the bounty out. But he should have known better than to sleep with the wife of an Ashida."

"Wait, Ashida? Is that a powerful family or something?"

Hood turned to Andrew with a confused look.

"In top 20 richest families in the world, the Ashida's are ranked 5th."

"Any chance Ashida is a common last name?" Andrew asked.

"There are only 10 living members of the Ashida estate." Hawkins said through Andrew's pocket.

"Then that means."

The elevator doors pinged open, with Wolverine and Surge running out screaming, Andrew turned to them.

"YOU'RE RICH?" He shouted.

"Andrew, are you in danger?" Wolverine asked.

"YOU'RE RICH?"

"He has struck a deal with the real owner of the casino, he is not in any danger." Hawkins said.

"Then why is he just staring at me?" Surge asked, waving her hand in front of him.

"YOU'RE RICH?" Andrew shouted once more with his jaw hanging.

"He just learned about the Ashida family." Hood said.

Surge grabbed Andrew's arm and quickly dragged him away, smiling at Hood.

"Oh hey, it's nice to know we won't have to fight you sir. Wolverine can you please take our bounty, I need to talk to our team leader."

Noriko dragged Andrew into the elevator.

"Listen Andrew, I am not apart of THAT Ashida family."

"That is a lie." Hawkins said.

"HAWKINS, WLLL YOU SHUSH!" Noriko shouted.

"YOU'RE RICH?"
