Third pov
Jumping out of one plane, into another with a jetpack and Deckard Shaw helping her was one thing Phoenix could safely say that she'd never ever imagined.
But here she was, pulling her helmet off inside Ciphers plane.
"Nice plane. I'm gonna enjoy having this."
Deckard had this vaguely amused look. "Hey, don't go getting any ideas. You and planes don't have a good history."
Phoenix giggled, she couldn't really help it when she saw Owen look at the way they'd come in saying. "No shit."
"Let's go, scarface. These assholes ain't gonna kill themselves. Firecracker, you're with me."
Now it was Owen's turn to let out an amused snort while Phoenix made a face at the nickname.
The three of them moved to the door. Owen motioned to the camera that had turned on in the corner.
"Surprise."
The redhead gave the camera the middle finger.
"I thought you didn't like killing." Deckard commented when she grabbed her own gun.
"For these guys, I'm willing to make an exception."
The big beefy guys went down fast when faced with the three of them.
Deckard turned his head to his brother. "Get to the pilot. He's got the second key, wait for my signal."
Owen nodded, beginning to make his way up the stairs. "Give Cipher my regards."
Phoenix followed the older Shaw brother as he practically cleared the way for her. With the exception of the guy that tried to surprise them from behind. He was quickly taken care of.
Reaching the room with the kids in was relatively easy, even if the faint traces of blood on the carpet and the lack of the blonde woman told Phoenix that Dom's son no longer had his mother.
Zoe and Santiago were in the same bed, Zoe sleeping and Santiago looking up at Phoenix, a big, bright smile on his face.
"Alright guys, it's going to be a lot of noise." She could hear Deckard tell Dom's son the same thing while he too put a smaller set of headphones over the kids ears. "These are for you."
Once the three of them had headphones on Deckard turned to her. "Keep your eyes on the kids. I'll take care of the guards."
She nodded.
The two of them moved through the plane. Deckard and Dom's son first, Phoenix with Santiago and Zoe after. Considering the fact that she had her hands full, she really hoped that no one would come up behind them. That would definitely cause problems.
Which is probably why that's exactly what happened. Phoenix quickly put down her kids baby car seats and pushed them under a table.
This guy wasn't as big as the rest of the little guard that Cipher seemed to employ, but he could pack a punch she noted. The fight was fast paced, he hit, she blocked, she hit, he blocked. At least until she had enough, licked him in the chest and shot him close range.
"Huh, good job." Deckard said, he picked up the kid after finishing off his own opponents.
"Thanks." She picked up her own kids and followed him towards Cipher.
The room had two doors, one of which Deckard entered through while Phoenix hesitated. She looked around and found another table where she hid her kids. "I'll be back."
After that she opened the other door, stepped through and shot Cipher without blinking.
Deckard, since the first time she met him, looks stunned.
Phoenix shrugged. "A tip. If you don't want to give people a chance to escape, don't monologue."
The blonde woman had fallen backwards, hitting a wall from the blow, one hand pressing against the heavily bleeding gunshot wound in her stomach.
"Do you want the honors, or can I?"
Deckard shook his head, something akin to respect in his expression. "Ladies first."
Phoenix nodded and turned to Cipher, finding the blonde glaring at her. "I told you the engine would take you out."
The blood splattered on the wall as she was finished off.
Deckard hadn't moved muscle other than looking just a bit more relaxed. Phoenix couldn't blame him, she was just as relieved.
********************************************************************
Carter stood on the roof with the rest of them. All waiting for the last family members to arrive.
Mr Nobody had gotten him a plane ride as soon as he found out Phoenix and the kids were alright.
"Well, Cipher is no longer a problem. Phoenix saw to that." Mr Nobody revealed to the group before going to talk with Hobbs.
Deckard Shaw showed up with Dom's kid, Carter continued watching the door to see the last arrival.
Phoenix had shorter hair, he noted, and she had their twins in a twin carrier. Carter ignored the looks, got on his feet and took some fast steps over and hugged his wife. "Don't you ever do that again."
She chukled. "No promises."
Carter kissed the top of her head before moving to take Zoe from the carrier. "I've missed you."
Phoenix picked up Santiago and the four of them moved to sit at the table, she sat beside Carter, resting her head on his shoulder with her son in her arms and her daughter watching her father with big interest.
She's home.
This is the last chapter and I gotta say. I'm happy with it.
