Note from Nironus: Hi everyone! I got this story done pretty fast which I'm not surprised about because of the action-heavy plot. So, I felt like it would be fun to give you all a cool reward for checking out a short spinoff story.
Most obvious trivia fact Number 1: The plot was heavily inspired/based on the 2020 Netflix movie, Extraction which had Chris Hemsworth in the lead. Almost all the scenes were reused from the movie but I rewrote a lot of everyone's dialogue to fit the reshaping of the story.
Number 2: There are multiple and notable changes to the original movie. Some characters are either recasted, removed, or written differently while new ones are aided. Nima and Nik are great examples. Nima is instead a boy named Ovi in the original movie while Nik is an independent mercenary instead of solely working for the Mahajan Entourage like she is in the movie.
Number 3: The Black Widow who works for Amir is actually a canon character. Well kinda not really. If you look up the complete cast for Black Widow, you'll find an actress named Svetlana Constantine. She played a background Widow and never got a name. I wanted to have a psychotic Widow as a side villain but I didn't want to risk killing any of the named background Widows so I named her Isidora Pavlov.
Number 4: Farhad the young street goon takes part in the bridge battle at the end of the movie but his presence would clog the scene with the Colonel and Widow so I killed him off early.
Number 5: As stated in (YN)'s origin story, Russel Adler from Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War recruited and oversaw his training. This makes Cold War roughly MCU canon but perhaps some of the events were altered for more Marvel storytelling involvement. It's up to the readers to decide how it blends in with the overall storyline. The appearance of David Mason, Salazar, Harper, plus mentioning Cordis Die and the "Celerium Crisis" roughly makes B02 canon too.
Number 6: The Assassin Association and Vita Nova hotels are inspired/based on the High Table and Continental Hotels from the John Wick franchise. I considered just outright adding them in but in the end, I chose creativity over laziness.
Number 7: This will not be the only HomeRun spinoff book! I'm actively planning stories that take place in the Marvel Comics continuity instead of the MCU. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you check those out when they release!
