HomeRun: MCU X Assassin Male Reader Spinoff

Recovery

(YN's P.O.V)

I woke up on my side with an intense coughing fit. " Fuuck! " I groaned in between coughs, lowering my neck gaiter. " Here. I got you some water. " Nima said. She was on her knees in front of me while I laid on the couch. " Scoot back. I'm gonna throw up. " I coughed out. " Oh shit. I'll get some napkins. " Nima said before getting up and going to the kitchen. " Urk. Glaaagh. " I groaned while throwing up. It was clear because I haven't eaten. 

" That's gross. " She commented and covered the mess up with some napkins. " He had shock knuckles on. Vomiting is a side effect. " I said. " Those exist? " Nima questioned. " Only as of last year. US military invention but only for special ops right now. Salazar must've swiped them when we were still on a team. " I explained and sat up. 

She joined my side and glanced at the body. " So that was his name. Why was he after you? " Nima asked. " Wanted revenge for bringing down Cordis Die last year. " I replied. " I remember seeing those drone attacks on the news. " Nima recounted. I looked at Salazar's corpse. The tracker! " Shit! " I shouted and shot up. " What is it? " Nima asked frantically. 

I grasped my shoulders until I felt the tracker on my shoulder and took it off. It was tiny, beeping red, and circular. I quickly dropped it and stomped on it. " Salazar had a tracker on me! We need to go. He might've leaked our location before attacking. " I ordered. I ran to the front and started checking windows for cops or Amir's goons. " No one's coming. You were out for twenty minutes and I was constantly checking. " Nima reasoned. I stepped back and sighed. 

" Alright, guess we're good then. You didn't go outside, right? " I asked. " No. Don't worry, I didn't. " Nima assured. " Good. Twenty minutes, shit. Nik has no idea what's going on. " I said and quickly took out my phone. " HomeRun, status on Nima? " Nik asked as soon as she answered. " We're safe. Holed up in a house right now. Ran into an old friend too. Asif must've tipped him off. " I replied. " Are you alright? " Nik questioned.

" Yeah, I'm good. Fucker's dead but he tased me a few times though. " I assured. For some reason, there was a pause between us. " You two should rest and move on the bridge at dawn. " She recommended. " Good idea. " I recommended. " Call me when Nima's asleep. Don't react. " Nik ordered. " Sounds good. " I agreed. 

" Talk to you soon. " She said before ending the call. I looked at Nima. " We're gonna spend the night here. " I stated. " If the cops or Asif's men haven't shown up yet, they never will. " Nima nodded and smiled. " Glad to hear that. " She said happily. I smiled back but she couldn't see with the neck gaiter. I looked again at Salazar's body. " Let's do something, just in case. 

" I said. Nima followed me into the kitchen. " What are you looking for? " She asked. " Duct tape. I wanna fake your capture. " I replied, finding the tape in the cabinet under the sink. " But you just said we're safe. " Nima said. " I'm an assassin and you're the daughter of a drug lord. We're never gonna be completely safe. " I claimed. " She scoffed. " Don't remind me. " I began duct-taping her wrists together. 

To be honest, I was confident in my plan but started to feel bad after her arms started trembling. No doubt this was a traumatic reminder. I quickly finished and then searched Salazar for his phone. Biometric security, piece of cake. I grabbed Salazar's right hand and used it to open the phone. Alright, let's check his contacts. Asif's at the top of calls and messages. 

I'm not surprised at all. " Nima, look scared for me. " I ordered as I prepared to take a picture. It wasn't difficult for her considering all she's been through. " Good job. Remember, we're gonna get out of this. " I promised. " Y-yeah, please just cut me loose. " Nima pleaded. " One sec. This is gonna buy us some time. " I said while sending the message and picture.
