"C'mon."

"Welcome to my apartment." Kate told the dog as she and Ophelia walked inside. "Whoa. Okay, that was- That was crazy. But we're safe. We're safe. Okay, what is going on with Armand? Threatening my mum and buying black market swords? Do you think he's connected to the break-in somehow?"

"He can't speak English, Kate." Ophelia whispered, almost convinced Kate was expecting a verbal reply from the dog.

"Food. You want food. Uh, of course. Oh." Kate mumbled as the dog whimpered, Ophelia crouching to give him a fuss behind his ears. "Uh... Okay, listen. Just hang on. I'm gonna... I'm gonna get you some food. Uh... Pizza? You want some pizza? Okay. Have some. Go on." She opened the box and the dog looked at the last slice, Ophelia standing again. "Good boy. Wow. You like pizza. I've got to figure out what's up with Armand."

"What's that?" Ophelia asked, looking over her shoulder and seeing that she found Armand on an app. "That is creepy as fuck."

"So is you being able to basically fly around wine racks and speak fluent Russian." Kate shot back.

"You have a good point." Ophelia mused.

"Thank you. Do not destroy this apartment." Kate ordered the dog.

Kate flicked the light switch off as the two women left the apartment. When they got to Armand's, Kate threw her bag over the wall and started to climb it, Ophelia doing the same. They jumped over the wall and Ophelia pushed open the window.

Silently, both of them snuck into the house and walked down the stairs. They looked around the room and Kate found a bowl of sweets, picking one up and examining it while Ophelia was looking around.

"Monogrammed butterscotch?" Kate asked herself, putting the sweet back and carrying on through.

Ophelia walked through a doorway, eyebrows furrowing when she saw Armand on the floor. She walked inside properly and saw him bleeding out across the floor, a lamp fallen over and he lay on his stomach, bleeding from his back.

"Kate." Ophelia hissed and Kate walked through, crouching by the old old man and lifting his shoulder to look at his face.

"Armand?" Kate asked but got no reply. "Oh, God!"

The door slammed and Kate gasped.

"Mr. Duquesne?" The maid asked. "I have your dry cleaning, and I brought dinner."

"C'mon." Ophelia whispered, grabbing her hand and sneaking around the other door to the room.

The maid screamed as she spotted Armand's dead body while Ophelia tugged Kate along and back out of the window. The blue-hair woman jumped, hands grabbing the top of the wall and pulling herself up to squat on it before reaching for Kate's hand, pulling her onto the top of the stone too.

The pair ran down the street, Kate glancing back while Ophelia pulled off her heels, running barefoot on the road. They came to a stop, more so that Kate did, panting with her hands on her knees when headlights suddenly shone beside them and men got out of a van so they started to run away.

"Where do you think you're going? We only want to talk." A man said.

"Hey, we've got little surprise for you."

"We've got eyes everywhere."

"We missed you, Ronin."

"We got you now, bro. And your partner." A man said, getting out a van ahead.

"Why you makin' it so tough on us, bro?" The one behind asked and Kate went to punch him, immediately begging blocked.

Ophelia grunted as one of the men grabbed both of her arms and pulled them behind her back. Rolling her eyes, she kicked him in the shin, curling her foot around the back of his knee and pulling him down as Kate was kicked into a car.

One grabbed Kate and Ophelia kicked the man that had her in the face and he fell so she ran, Kate moving her head so Ophelia could punch him harshly. The brown-eyed girl started to pull on car door handles, trying to find an open one before she did and Ophelia got in the other side, both of them putting on the child locks but they started to slam on the windows.

One man's fist went through Kate's window but when was knocked down. Another went through Ophelia's and she grabbed his hand and her knife, slashing his arm quickly as the man on the bonnet was knocked down.

They sat there as a man started to whack the men in the face with a piece of cloth. Be best then until they stayed on the floor, injured. Kate was pulled from the car and dragged away suddenly so Ophelia followed quickly.

"Oh, come on." The person grunted as Kate tried to get away but they threw her into a wall, pulling her mask down. "Come on!"

"You're... You're Hawkeye!" Kate exclaimed.

"And who the hell are you?" Clint questioned as someone grabbed his hair, pressing a knife to his neck.

"Phelia! Stop!" Kate gasped.

"What? Why?" Ophelia quizzed before looking down at the hero. "Oh! Hello!"
