Eddie acknowledged Ana's remark about more potential targets. He adjusted his scenarios to be more flexible and fit more people. "Guess it's nice to have back up. Hope he's reliable." Eddie slid a little closer to the door. He gave it the tiniest of turns to see if it unlocked before resetting position. "Here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna count up to three on my fingers, when I reach three I'll throw open the door and you run in. I'll follow behind you to provide cover. Or we can flip it. Doesn't matter to me." 




 

"Aye, he shouldn't be too much trouble if he does show up, hopefully, we won't need the extra help by the time we are done. I will imagine that the Mangler is in his human form, because in his... Animal form... He didn't truly bleed, and it was ash that dissolved quickly. Hopefully, we can get this done quick enough that he won't have time to change. And as confirmation, I am going in for the kill here, also I am going to go straight for the Mangler once I have my eyes set on him, I won't be stopping to go asking any questions from anyone in there, unless he is not directly in the room. But yeah give me the signal and I will be in the room extremely quickly, the empowerment is going to improve my speed, reflexes, and strength. I don't know about anything else, but any threats that emerge will most likely be dealt with quite quickly. And I don't know your policy on killing, but I am not killing unless I see that someone in there has killed someone else in which case at worst I am going to knock them unconscious, I am not going to stop you from doing that if that's how you operate since we shouldn't be getting in each other's way here, we have a common goal in mind and for now I don't care how we achieve it. Now good luck to you, I am ready when you are."

Eddie kept his gun hidden as he approached the restaurant door, he took up position on one side of the door as if they were breaching it. He waited patiently trying to hear what was going on inside the place.


Lavernius smiled at the sound of Ana's voice. "Don't sound so happy to hear from me, Anastasiya." He said teasingly before becoming serious. "Where are you? Have you found anything out about the Mangler?"

"Did she say anything?" Sunni asked quietly after a while. "Can we go? Where are we going?"


She was impatient and excited and nervous.

Now good luck to you, I am ready when you are."

Eddie nodded his head, took a deep breath, and pulled out his glock. He silently raised his hand in the air with one finger up. Eddie couldn't stop the memory of a conversation he'd had with his partner on a breach just like this. You know Eddie one day your gonna run lead on one of these. He raised his second finger. You can do so much more than what you do now. You are the closer, but you can be a legend. Someone people look up to and can look to for justice. Someone they can believe in. He shook his head and raised his third finger. Eddie I know you don't believe it. But, one day you won't need me hanging around anymore. We may be partners now. But, one day soon, you'll be standing out from all of us as one of New York's Finest. I believe that. I really do. Eddie breached the door.

"Did she say anything?" Sunni asked quietly after a while. "Can we go? Where are we going?"


She was impatient and excited and nervous.

Lavernius looked down at Sunni and smiled. "We have a location. Let's move, tiny." He spun on his feet and charged straight out of the station. LA put the name of the place in his phone's gps and took off, inadvertently leaving Sunni behind. He realized this and looked back. "Let's go kid! We got a big fight ahead of us." Then, he kept running.

 

[doneanddusted]

Tiny. Sunni grinned, and was about to cheer when Mr. LA went sprinting off. 


"W-Wait!" Sunni cried.


Mr. LA stopped. Ah, so he didn't mean to leave her behind. With a excited smile, Sunni sprinted after him as fast as she could. The girl wasn't fast, but at least she had stamina. Her legs carried her as far as she could, but it seemed Sunni wasn't gaining on Mr. LA. Maybe she should run more often.

Anasdvatasiya took a deep breath, and kept herself calm and composed. She saw his time tick down 1, written as 'Odin' if you were to phonetically spell it out, in Russian, the start of something, the beginning of the end for the Mangler she thought... Also, the Norse creator god, interesting... Eddie brought up his second finger. 2, 'Dva' in Russian... The second number in a sequence of usually three the middle of  the group... 3, 'Tri' in Russian. Now the go system, the time where things truly begin, and now she was ready. Right before she moved unto the breach and the door opened, she heard a collection of who must have been the victims of the Mangler, all together as one conjoined voice ushering her on with just two words. 'Avenge us' and with that she took another deep breath and with her vigor and determination she with inhumanly speed rushed in through the door, and quickly uncoiling her whip assessed the situation infront of her, looking for any sign of the Mangler in the room.


@IamNotLoki It's show time! Let's go! Give it to me and let this battle begin!

Bonnie and Clyde


"A-After me... It... It's after me..."  The one armed man covered his panicked face with one hand.  He was balled up in a corner of the kitchen, some of the plates lay broken on the floor after the man's quick rampage.  "After you?" Bonnie asked as she ran to get the broom and dustpan.  Bonnie and Clyde were still wearing their skeleton outfits as they looked down at the tormented man.  "Hey, bud, calm down... can you explain?"  Clyde asked as the panicked man's eyes opened wide as a dark figure passed through the door.  Anastasiya looked in the direction of the trio in the kitchen.


"Hey, uh... we're closed!" Clyde said with painted face.


The one armed man bolted up and ran through the back door.  


"RUN!  WE'LL PROTECT YOU!"  Bonnie yelled out as she rejoined Clyde.


"THAT'S RIGHT!  HEROES DEFEND THE WEAK!"  Clyde pointed at Anastasiya.  "WHOEVER YOU ARE, SCARY LADY, WE WONT LET YOU HARM AN INJURED MAN! EN GUARDIA!"  The two posed dramatically.

Eddie quickly followed behind Anastasiya scanning the restaurant. He was caught off guard by the overly eccentric duo they encountered. However, he did see the subject escaping. "Who the hell are these two clowns!?" Eddie was quickly remembering why he hates people. "Listen that man is a dangerous serial killer. I don't want to have to put you two down. But, that man is going to die. One way or the other."

Tiny. Sunni grinned, and was about to cheer when Mr. LA went sprinting off.

Her legs carried her as far as she could, but it seemed Sunni wasn't gaining on Mr. LA. Maybe she should run more often. 

Lavernius could feel his legs burning slightly as he grew ever closer to the restaurant. He could feel himself starting to shake with excitement and a reckless grin spread wide across his face. LA's eyes were filled with a devil may care attitude to go with his grin. This was the thrill seeker with little concern for risk that he was.

Bonnie and Clyde

Anastasiya was moving and weaving quickly through the restaurant almost flawlessly through the various tables and whatnot with ease, her enhanced speed boost outrunning Eddie. With her sights on the Mangler, she tried activating the ability, but failed. She tried again in vain. 'So it has a cool down' she thought as she continued forward. She began to swing her whip around in a disorienting motion to distract the eccentric duo ahead of her which with the enhanced speed and enhanced strength caused the whip to move at a rate almost faster than the eye could see, and with the expertise to keep it from colliding into the objects around her. He heard Eddie call out behind her wondering who the hell these two were. Anastasiya not losing focus yelled back "I don't know who the fuck those two are, and I do not care to find out." With the same intimidating piercing glance she gave the Mangler originally shooting daggers now at these two, she hoped to intimidate them to stand down. As Anastasiya got ever so closer to the Mangler, she pulled out her trump card to use before she would reach the two blocking her path. "Listen! That man is the Mangler! He has terrorized this city for far too long and has killed far too many people to be left to plague this city any longer! The Mangler is going to be killed whether you like it or not today! Now either get out of my way, or I am going to take you both down!" At this rate Anastasiya had no intention of slowing down, either Bonnie and Clyde were gonna steamrolled over, get a lash from a whip that was much more dangerous considering it could bludgeon and easily break bones while cutting into skin as well, Anastasiya though visibly slowed down the pace of the whip so that if she were to lash with it, it would not kill them, maybe at worst break bones, and send them flying into the walls. Or they could move out of the way and let her pass. Nonetheless she had grim determination kindling a fire in those eyes like blue guns, and she was not going to have anything stand in her way at this rate.

As he walked out of his shop, Maarav, more commonly known as Mike, looked up. He hoped to see the Milky Way up above, but the light pollution was simply too overwhelming. He sighed. He missed Ireland very much. There was much less light pollution in his home country. He pocketed his hands and started off to his favorite restaurant. As he walked up to the restaurant, he noticed commotion going on inside. He didn't want to be part of it. He started to walk away, but then he heard a familiar voice. "Ana?" He just stood there, staring. He couldn't believe what he was seeing through the window. There was blood. A lot of it. He saw Anastasiya readying a whip. But not just any whip. It's a whip that he forged! He saw the restaurant owners trying to defend someone, but he couldn't make out who. What on earth is happening? "I don't feel so good..." he said, half fainting, half vomiting. Thud. He hit the ground. K-O.

The man kept running through the streets, desperately holding on to his missing arm.  Vapor puffed out of his mouth as he tried to catch his breath.


"The Mangler!?"  Clyde looked at Bonnie.  Bonnie looked at Clyde.  Their skeletal faces then turned to face Antastasiya.


"Ralph can't be the mangler!"  She pointed at Anastasia.  "Shame on you for trying to hit a disabled homeless person!" Clyde pointed at her.


The whip rushed at Clyde, aiming to strike him down.


"Clyde! Watch out!"  Bonnie rushed in front of Clyde and transformed into a cat head shaped shield.  It's surface is covered by a single, large diamond that simply reflected the whip.  


Clyde whispered to Bonnie.  "These guys are up to no good..."  


"I have a feeling she's the mangler herself... we need to stop her!"  Bonnie said in shield form.


"Alright!  Listen here criminals!  We won't let you hurt our friend!  Surrender or get knocked down!"  The two said at the same time.  Clyde rushed at Ana, diamond shield in front of him, ready to bash the woman down.

Sunni could barely keep up. Her lungs burned. Her legs ached. Her sides hurt. She was not having fun at all. The girl could see a restaurant coming up. Cajun cave.... Sunni had no idea what a Cajun was. Probably another one of those fatty fast food restaurants.

Anastasiya scoffed at the ignorance of them both, she wasn't necessarily expecting one of them to turn into a shield, and as a result the pace in which she hit it caused it to bounce off as the gen and metal clashed with one another with sparks. "Blyat!" (Fuck!) she cursed in Russian. But she continued on forward, now picking up the pace of the whip again. "If you two are going to be this ignorant about the situation, then so be it! I hope you learn your lesson when this is done!" Now with the two standing as one charging at her she calculated and analyzed her next moves. And within the blink of the eye, as they both approached to stop her she swung the whip down low the distinct crack of the sound barrier once again broken, the whip expertly clearing the gap of the shield and wrapping it around Clyde's legs, then with her enhanced strength on her side, she then pulled the whip to the right and threw Clyde into the wall to the right. The whip uncoiling as it did so, unfortunately she had no time to dodge or try to use the whip to stop the shield and as a result she boldly used her current velocity, her enhanced strength and durability to shoulder tackle into Bonnie as the shield and extended her arm up to bring it over her head. She gritted her teeth in pain as she did this, but an impact that would have definitely broken her shoulder and arm, was reduced to a big throbbing pain in that arm but not to the point of disabling or breaking it. With this done, she continued her trek forward hell bent on reaching the Mangler, her face still retaining the piercing cold glance that was marking the death of the cowering man before her, the man who was supposed to be the one who terrorized others in his wake before brutally killing them, now to see that man before her cowering as retribution approached before him. The whip began to swing once more... the righteous fury of those killed by him... preparing to strike once more and give what is due.

Clyde winced as he was struck against the wall... causing cracks to appear on the brownish red-paint.  The shield struck the attacker though so Clyde was fortunate enough to do some damage.  "We... have to stop her..."  Clyde said as Bonnie transformed back to her human form.  "Here Clyde!"  She handed him the Wukong Card.  "Okay Bonnie, lets show her some Southern Hospitality!"  Clyde jumped in the air and transformed into a massive rifle-like object.  Bonnie caught the huge weapon and sluggishly pointed it's wide barrel at Ana.  "Don't you dare touch Ralph, you bully!"  She yelled as she pulled the trigger.  Suddenly a blue beam of devastating light purposely missed Ana and destroyed the back wall of the restaurant.  The beam dissipated as soon as it appeared.  The laser was thick and fast... demolishing anything in it's path instantly.  "That's a warning shot, honey!  If you keep running after Mistah Ralph, you will get blown to bits!"  Bonnie grinned.

Eddie spun his gun in his hand as he watched the inhuman battle unfolding before him. He had been quiet and mostly kept out of the way until he noticed the woman hand off the black card to the man. "Let me ask you something.. you have these oh so special cards to use. But, can you dodge a bullet?" Eddie wasted firing at the woman's legs and running to hide behind a fallen table. He reloaded a brand new regular clip and quickly peeked over firing again at both of them.

Sunni could barely keep up. Her lungs burned. Her legs ached. Her sides hurt. She was not having fun at all. The girl could see a restaurant coming up. Cajun cave.... Sunni had no idea what a Cajun was. Probably another one of those fatty fast food restaurants.

Lavernius slowed down to a job as the restaurant came into view. He eased his pace to save energy and stiffened when he heard gun shots. LA was close to the entrance now when he smelled something putrid. He looked over and saw a man unconscious next to a pile of vomit. "Oh god. The smell.." Lavernius realized that he wasn't actually checking on the man. He walked a little closer and saw his chest rising and falling gently. LA nodded and seeing that the man was seemingly alright for now, pulled out his phone. As he typed in 911, he looked up and saw blood?

"Hey Bonnie watch out!  That guy's got a gun!"  Clyde said in rifle form before shrinking down to the size of a pistol, allowing Bonnie to somersault behind the counter... avoiding the bullets.  "Oh, I've been dodging bullets most of my life, darlin'!  You shoot like a cop!"  Bonnie laughed behind the counter.  


Emerging from the counter, Clyde Aimed a large pink bazooka at Eddie.  "Okay, eat this!"  smoke came from behind the weapon, sending a huge rocket towards Eddie.


BOOOM!


Instead of exploding, the rocket burst open, sending kittens to rain down on Eddie.  The little cats piled up on Eddie, clawing him with their tiny claws.


"T-That's a strange weapon Bonnie..."  Clyde said as he watched Eddie get overwhelmed with tiny cats.


"Y'like it Clyde?"  The weapon spoke.


"Heh, I love it darlin'..."  Clyde kissed the weapon and aimed it at Ana.

 

[The Omen of Death]

Clyde winced as he was struck against the wall... causing cracks to appear on the brownish red-paint.  The shield struck the attacker though so Clyde was fortunate enough to do some damage.  "We... have to stop her..."  Clyde said as Bonnie transformed back to her human form.  "Here Clyde!"  She handed him the Wukong Card.  "Okay Bonnie, lets show her some Southern Hospitality!"  Clyde jumped in the air and transformed into a massive rifle-like object.  Bonnie caught the huge weapon and sluggishly pointed it's wide barrel at Ana.  "Don't you dare touch Ralph, you bully!"  She yelled as she pulled the trigger.  Suddenly a blue beam of devastating light purposely missed Ana and destroyed the back wall of the restaurant.  The beam dissipated as soon as it appeared.  The laser was thick and fast... demolishing anything in it's path instantly.  "That's a warning shot, honey!  If you keep running after Mistah Ralph, you will get blown to bits!"  Bonnie grinned.

Anastasiya winced in pain as she kept moving forward, she was now starting to feel a bit winded, and although her arm wasn't broken or anything, the impact was enough to prevent it from doing too much for the time being, while not being completely numb or limp. Anastasiya continued her push forward when a light destroyed the back of the restaurant, she looked back and saw a massive rifle being pointed at her. Not fazed by this keeping her mind centered at her objective she then taunted to them. "You got aim like a redneck too! My old babushka has better aim than you!" She then heard gunshots in the background, most likely Eddie she thought. But to be sure that they wouldn't have an easy target she began to use her enhanced speed and reflexes from the empowerment to make her a harder target to hit, it would take a well placed shot to hit her. Finally having caught up to the Mangler from the side angle, Anastasiya shot off her coldest glance to date at the Mangler, the same she had on the night before, the literal face and eyes of vengeance embodied her right then and there. Once again moving the whip with blinding speed and disorienting motion, the whip cracked as the gleam of it went forward from the side as the whip came for his legs the goal being to trip him right on his face as he ran.

 

[Eagleye415]

Eddie was caught off guard by the speed of the bazooka and braced for impact. But, nothing happened. Hold on.. There were a couple of kittens. Wait.. a lot of kittens. Why the hell were there so many!? Eddie had no idea what to make of this situation as he was swarmed by kittens. He shook a couple off of him and shot one time in the air to scare them off. Then, Eddie fired a few more rounds at the couple. He slid up to a cover that was closer to the two and shook off the rest of the kittens. "You two can stop and this won't have to go any further. If not, I can give you an instructional guide on cqc."

Mark started waking up. His eyes were flickering open. He saw a man standing near him. "How long was I out?" He mumbled. Even though he looked freaked out, he was still trying to act friendly. He then looks at the man and sees him dialing something on his phone. He opens his mouth and speaks clearly, his powerful Irish-Scottish accent now made obvious. "If that's the police you're calling, then there is no need for that. I'm ok." He tries to get to his feet, but stumbles. As he trips he sees something on the other side of the restaurant door... it's small... and furry... wait a second... "Is that a cat?"

Anastasiya winced in pain as she kept moving forward, she was now starting to feel a bit winded, and although her arm wasn't broken or anything, the impact was enough to prevent it from doing too much for the time being, while not being completely numb or limp. Anastasiya continued her push forward when a light destroyed the back of the restaurant, she looked back and saw a massive rifle being pointed at her. Not fazed by this keeping her mind centered at her objective she then taunted to them. "You got aim like a redneck too! My old babushka has better aim than you!" She then heard gunshots in the background, most likely Eddie she thought. But to be sure that they wouldn't have an easy target she began to use her enhanced speed and reflexes from the empowerment to make her a harder target to hit, it would take a well placed shot to hit her. Finally having caught up to the Mangler from the side angle, Anastasiya shot off her coldest glance to date at the Mangler, the same she had on the night before, the literal face and eyes of vengeance embodied her right then and there. Once again moving the whip with blinding speed and disorienting motion, the whip cracked as the gleam of it went forward from the side as the whip came for his legs the goal being to trip him right on his face as he ran.

Bonnie simply transformed into a riot shield and safely blocked Eddie's shots.  "Drat..."  Clyde exclaimed as Anastasia kept running ahead.  "Let's go after her, Clyde!"  Bonnie said as she blocked bullets.  "She's a slippery little rascal ain't she!?"  Clyde ignored Eddie's shots and ran after Anastasiya.


Just when she was about to trip Ralph, Bonnie transformed back to her human form, passed the card to Clyde, and Clyde transformed into another large weapon.  Bonnie aimed it at Ana and fired.  A huge net overshadowed Ana from above.


"Run! Ralph!"  Bonnie called out to the man who was tripped by the whip.  He lay face down on the pavement and looked at Ana with terrified eyes.  "Run!"  Bonnie called out once again.  Ralph struggled to get up, but with just one arm, it was very hard to hoist himself up.


The sounds of sirens blared as a dozen police cars surrounded the scene.  "Crap... we gotta go Bonnie!"  Clyde told Bonnie before transforming into a Jet Pack.  Bonnie put the jet pack on and looked one final time at the scene before blasting off into the skies.


The police exited their cars and pointed pistols at the one armed man.  "Freeze!  Don't move!"  They all called out as they pointed their barrels at Ralph... they seem to be ignoring Ana.


Ralph looked at Mark Hamilton who emerged from one of the cars.  His eyes were filled with anxiety and fear.


"Ralph Redman, you are under arrest under the suspicion of committing multiple murders, you have the right to remain silent..."  He flashed his badge at the man.  "Get up..."  One of the cops pointed his gun closer to the man and had him get up on his feet.  


"Careful, you don't know what he's capable of..."  Mark said pushing the cop gently back.


Mark bravely clipped a handcuff on the man's lone wrist and pulled the chain between the man's legs... attaching the other cuff around a back belt loop.


The cops carefully escorted the man into a police car.


"Well done,"  Mark told Ana as he helped her out of the net.  "Did he have accomplices?"

Sunni looked at the restaurant and stiffened. Blood. She blinked and looked away. The man who had been knocked out noticed a cat.
"Kitty!" She said and dashed towards it, trying to take her mind off of the blood as well as she could.


The cat was friendly. And cute. Sunni petted it. There were things happening, the girl noticed. Sunni could hear the cracks of the whip, and the cries of a man and a woman. Something about telling someone to run. Police cars came.The girl watched, wide eyed, as a woman with an actual jetpack flew off into the air. Police cars were pointing a gun at someone. Sunni held on to the cat silently. The cops had brought a man to a police car. He had only one arm... Just like the Mangler. Sunni's eyes widened. Had the Mangler been finally caught? Ah, but what if he wasn't the Mangler? What if it had been Ana who had whipped his arm off just now? What if those cries were from his family, and Ana was a murderer? Sunni shivered. She had enough of murder.

Eddie chased after Bonnie and Clyde as they ran after Anastasiya still shooting. He continued to shoot at them non-lethally before finally stopping as he heard sirens. Eddie slipped his gun away and slowed to a walk. He saw the dynamic duo escaping and sighed. This had been a bust. Eddie saw the suspect being apprehended by police and shook his head. A complete bust.

Mark started waking up. His eyes were flickering open. He saw a man standing near him. "How long was I out?" He mumbled. Even though he looked freaked out, he was still trying to act friendly.

Lavernius was surprised by the man suddenly speaking up and put his phone away. "You're okay, huh? Wanna tell me what happened here?" He was gonna continue when he felt something brush against his leg. LA looked down at a tiny tabby cat. "A kitten?" He looked up as more rustling occurred and A TON of kittens came scrambling out of the building. "A lot of kittens.."

Mike opens his mouth and a stream of words fly out. "What happened you ask? Well, all I know is that a brave person in the restaurant was defending ones self. There was blood, and the person defending herself is a friend. I freaked out and... that's all I remember..." He looks up at the man. "Thank you for being so very  considerate, stopping on your way just to help out a stranger laying on the sidewalk." He stands up and extends his hand. "My name is Maarav, but I prefer Mike!" He proceeds to pull a business card from his shirt pocket. "If you ever need anything, stop by! I can forge anything you could need. The least I can offer for your generosity is a discounted price." He seems greatful, almost overly-greatful, but not quite. He smiles.

The little girl turned, picking up the little tabby.


"Sorry for leaving you behind," Sunni realized how much of a jerk she was for just leaving the man alone.


She held out the (somewhat uncomfortable) cat and grinned.


"So here's a cat!" She said.


Sunni could worry about how angry Ms. Ana might be if she noticed her here, or about what had just happened here later.

 

[MaxwellCharlie]

He notices the young girl and smiles. "It's perfectly alright!" He takes the small cat and says "My cousin has been wanting a cat, so I very much appreciate the gesture!" He looks at the little girl and says, "You are a very good person, and I appreciate your kindness." He looks at the little cat and says, "Don't worry, you'll have a wonderful home!"

Anatsasiya smiled ever so slightly at the fact that things seemed to be moving smoothly, she was finally about to make this guy pay for every... single... drop... of... blood... spilled... as a result of his crimes. Unfortunately, things turned south quite quickly as she did not expect a net to come from out of nowhere to come from one of that eccentric duo. She had no time before she was tangled up by it, as the net wrapped itself around her, not helping the fact that her arm was still sore, which began constricting her like a viper surrounding its prey and caused more pain in the arm. Anastasiya's eyes were still locked onto the Manglers, her eyes having a very wrathful glare to them as well as being cold. She struggled in vain as she then heard the all too familiar blare of police sirens... It was too late now, true justice could not be served now, he was simply going to go off to jail and then it would be decided later whether he should live for his crimes or not, that was IF he was even charged with murder. Maybe she should be happy that he gets some form of punishment? No, that was blasphemy to her, the only way she could truly give out real justice was by she or Eddie putting an end to his life right then and there, a life for a life... Vengeance for those who suffered so much by his hand... Having to resort to turning into an animal to go after those with black cards... Anastasiya was given insult to injury, as she watched the eccentric couple fly off on a jetpack? She could honestly careless, they obstructed retribution and justice from being struck down on the Mangler, and for that, she could never forgive nor would she ever forget. Anastasiya was grimly reminded of an emotion she hadn't felt in a while... Helplessness... Mark was approaching her and said "Well done," A job well done? Pfft, he didn't understand where she was coming from and her true intent... That was far from a job well done in her books... And time slowed down, as he worked on untangling her out, subconsciously she worked in helping him do so, but consciously... She saw herself as that 12-year-old girl who just witnessed her father shot right before the sun came down, and the emotions of helplessness, and fear etched in her mind... No, she wasn't afraid of the Mangler or the situation that just occurred, her 12-year-old self is feeling fear because of the hours that seemed like years after the shooting...


April 16, 2000 around 8:15 PM A couple hours after the shooting at the Ferris Wheel.


The blonde little girl's eyes were red and bloodshot from all the tears that were shed, in the battle of her eyes between the warm glistening that would accompany the cold look of her eyes, lost out and the cold won. Her gunmetal blue eyes were cold and grim with all sense of warmth extinguished and systematically executed, like a Russian winter. It didn't take a medical expert to tell her and her dearest mother that there was no way they could save her father... Right now the only solace that could be found right now was her mother and daughter as one cuddled against one another on the bed, even then they were both so distraught with grief and sadness that even this couldn't truly solve it. Her mother was slowly stroking her daughters light blonde hair, her mother while feeling the same as her daughter, also seemed to have her senses heightened, her mother's defensive senses were on high alert and were prepared for anything to protect her 12 year old daughter. All the while she was giving off her compassionate motherly side, outside of their home Russian police were assigned outside her house as a security detail to protect them in case the Mafia targeted the rest of the family. The two were aimlessly watching a children's program on the TV, none of them truly paying attention to what was going on it. Mostly they were just stuck thinking about the day and what it meant for their futures... But now without any words, her mother brought her arm up from the bed and grabbed for the remote, ending the TV's purpose as it slowly cut to black. Both mother and daughter then just looked each other in their eyes, sharing the same pain and suffering through it, it pained her mother to see her daughter like that... It's something no child should ever face. Then without saying a word really, they both acknowledged the next couple of moments, and just like that her daughter rested her head against her mother's lap and her mother began beautifully singing a lullaby to her anguished daughter... The words flowed like the river Volga and served its purpose to slowly and peacefully put her child to sleep. "Ustalyye igrushki spyat, poetomu knigi. Odeyala i podushki zhdut detey. Dazhe skazki idet v postel', chtoby vy mogli mechtat' ob etom v nochnoye vremya. Zakroyte glaza, Bayu-zaliv... V skazke mozhno pokatat'sya na lune i skakat' na polnoy skorosti nad radugoy, podruzhit'sya s nebol'shim kolichestvom slona i poymat' pero zhar-ptitsy Zakroyte glaza, Bayu-zaliv. .. Bayu-zaliv, vse lyudi dolzhny spat' po nocham Bayu-zaliv, zavtra budet novyy den'. My poluchili ochen' ustal segodnya, skazhem, kazhdomu cheloveku "Spokoynoy nochi", poyti spat' Bayu-zaliv..." (Tired toys are sleeping, so are books. Blankets and pillows are waiting for kids. Even fairy tales goes to bed, so you could dream of it at night. Close your eyes, Bayu-bay... In the tale, you can ride the moon and to gallop at full speed over the rainbow, make friends with a little elephant and catch a feather of the Firebird  Close your eyes, Bayu-bay... Bayu-bay, all people should sleep at night Bayu-bay, tomorrow is a new day. We got very tired today, let's say to everyone "Good night", go to sleep Bayu-bay...) And just like that, they both fell asleep...


Later that night


Something didn't seem right, surprisingly the blonde girl noticed this first. She heard noises outside, it seemed like people were getting into car's and were now driving off. The girl needed to know what was going on so ever so slowly, not wanting to disturb her mother she creeped up carefully to one of the curtain windows. Now it seemed new car's were arriving, they were black vans, hard to see in the dark, but at this rate the girl's cold vigilant eyes were prepared for anything really. That's when she saw something that concerned her deeply, the men that got out were not uniformed nor did they look like the police types. Her heart racing she felt as if she had seconds to decide what to do next, she then remembered her mother. She then rushed up to her and shook her more violently and urgently than she ever had before. Her voice was in a yell for a low voice, it had urgency and desperation written all over it. "Mama prosypayutsya seychas! Chto-to ne kazhetsya pravil'nym snaruzhi! Mne ne nravitsya to, chto proiskhodit!" (Mom wake up now! Something doesn't seem right outside! I don't like what's going on!) Her mom, did groggily get up at a much slower pace than the girl would have liked. The mother rubbed her eyes and asked. "Ey, chto proiskhodit snaruzhi, chto yest' u vas bespokoit?" (Hey, what's going on outside that's got you concerned?) The blonde girl continued to go on with the urgency that they had to do something right now. "Yest' chernyye furgony! I lyudi s oruzhiyem, i oni ne pokhozhi na politsiyu!" (There are black vans! And men with guns and they don't look like police!) That's when the mother suddenly became more in tune and alert, she kept her head down and peered out the window, and her eyes widened. These men were lined up, like a firing squad and her mother knew all too well what this meant. She instantly bearhugged her daughter and began moving to the edge of the bedroom, and just as she did that, a voice from the group of men called out that sent chills down both of their spines. "Russkaya mafiya posylayet privyet!" (The Russian Mafia sends their regards!) And suddenly all hell seemingly broke loose on their home as the sounds of gunshots filled the once quiet night, all sent with absolute malice as each and every bullet that tore through their home in every direction was sent in the hopes of killing them. And visibily her mother had actually become angry and cynical with distrust as she realized why they arrived with no problems. "Chertova politsiya slishkom chertovski korrumpirovany, chto oni dazhe ne tsenyat zhizn' sem'i nad poluchat' bystryy rubl'! Chertov bespolezno..." (The goddamn police are too damn corrupt that they don't even value the life of a family over getting a quick ruble! Fucking useless...) The little girl right now was absolutely fearing for her life, a dark grim voice in her told her that they should both die to be reunited with their father again. And for a little second she believed that to be the way, but then she remembered that life was worth living and shrugged that horrible thought out of her head, she and her mom were going to live. Now with dead seriousness in her voice her mother spoke to her daughter giving her commands as to what to do. "Slushay ya sozhaleyu, chto ya proklyat, kak eto, no poslushayte pryamo seychas. Mne nuzhno, chtoby dobrat'sya do vashey komnaty bystro, i sobrat' absolyutno nichego, chto ne slishkom velik, chto vy khotite sokhranit', vy dolzhny prinyat' chto-nibud' tsennoye. Vy dolzhny takzhe zakhvatit' lyubyye rubley u vas yest' v vashey komnate. Ty ponimayesh' menya?" (Listen I am sorry I cursed like that, but listen right now. I need you to get to your room quickly, and gather absolutely anything that is not too big that you want to keep, you must take anything of value. You need to also grab any rubles you have in your room. Do you understand me?) Her daughter nodded furiously her grim cold gunmetal blue eyes showing determination to do so. "Khorosho, teper' idi i udachi." (Good, now go and good luck.) The girl and mother both letting go of their conjoined warmth to let each other go, both praying and hoping to God that this wouldn't be the last time they felt each other's warmth. The girl then ran straight to her room adrenaline pushing her forward, seemingly dodging bullets that ever so missed her left and right and above. The girl then had to think quickly, what was so important worth keeping besides her small amount of Rubles. She went to grab at a family picture with her father and her mother together, she also grabbed her prized Russian nesting dolls that was given to her by her babushka. She also grabbed various other assortments of valued possensions and her small amount of Rubles, before running back to her mother's room. Her mother seemed done carrying the stuff she wanted to keep, putting them in bags, while the girl had them stashed in her backpack. They then once another hailfire of bullets stopped as the men reloaded, they began to move at a semi-fast pace trying to keep quiet, they were going to sneak through the back to reach their car in the garage and then drive off. They were both vigilant and careful, the little girl more so, as she calculated and analyzed her surroundings, they both were disgusted at the snickers and things they were saying. "Dumayu, chto my ubili dvukh sukas uzhe? My ne poluchili uslyshat' tak mnogo, kak vizg!" (Think we killed the two bitches already? We didn't get to hear so much as a squeal!) Another one said "Koeffitsiyenty togda my ne ubivali nikogo iz nikh... Oni ne mogut pryatat'sya vechno zdes'..." (Odds are then we didn't kill anyone of them... They can't hide forever in here...) As it seemed there were a couple close calls, but the two finally made it to the car, that's when they bolted to open and close the doors, and then start the engine and get the hell out of there, as they did this the hitmen finally caught notice and began shooting at the car. "Ne pozvolyayte im uyti!" (Don't let them get away!) But they're efforts were in vain as their car drove off. They both were panting heavily and deeply sighed as they got out with their lives and the adrenaline left them. The fear though had not subsided as their next stop was the airport they were getting out of Russia... The little girl though harbored such a revenge and grudge against these men though, and wished they would all die... All die for what they did to their father and tried to do to her. The experience hardened her and made her cold and cynical, she knew life would never be the same again...


Back in the present day.


Anastasiya still feeling some helplessness finally slipped out of the net, she began rolling her shoulder from her left arm which was her less dominant arm that did not hold the whip. With a grim expression planted on her face with her cold gunmetal blue eyes  she faced Mark and answered his question to what she believed would be the answer. "I don't know, but that eccentric duo that escaped on the jetpack seemed pretty set on defending him... But they seemed to not have knowledge that he was the Mangler."
