I wake up in the wreckage of the crash from the night before, laying against the massive bulge made in the truck by the impact on the tree, feeling something lodged in my knee, my head is in a lot of pain, but I still manage to clear my vision after some short moments, through the still open back of the trailer, Luna peeked from behind the roof of the tilted trailer, she held her hand out as I grabbed it and she helped me out of the narrow gap left.
I struggle to stand, Luna holds me up, I grimace as I look at my knee, blood soaks the clothing on the side of my knee, something impaled me in the crash. I gasp in pain
"S-Shit.." I stutter, the pain only increasing as I slowly sit myself down on a rock nearby, I look around myself, Kirk and Aaron are scanning their surroundings, looking for anything, but nothing, we're stranded in a huge forest, spanning for miles, our only exit is back up the tall cliff that we jumped off in the getaway, I try getting a look up the cliff, but it's too high up.
"D-Does anyone have any bandages?" I ask, fighting through the pain.
"What? What happened?" Kirk asked as he runs over to me, he looks at the left side of my left knee and sees the huge blood stain.
"Yeah, you'll need to get back into your regular clothes"
"Why?"
"Your socks will apply enough pressure to the wound, paired with a Pressure Bandage you shouldn't lose too much blood"
I nod as I crawl to the wreckage of the truck and find my duffle bag, bringing it back out and finding my normal clothes, luckily, they were undamaged. I quickly changed and looked at my wound, it was huge, at least a fist in size, and hurt like hell, it went almost halfway down to the bone, I kept my hands from the wound to not hurt myself, Kirk soon came running in with a bandage, wrapping it tightly around the wound, I pulled my sock over it to keep it in place, the pressure hurt for a second, but it faded after a short time. Luna sat next to me to make sure I was alright while Kirk and Aaron went out to find any way to get out of here, hours of searching later, the two come running back, I shoot up, but I forget I had a wound so I fall straight back down onto my knees, Luna asks exactly what I was trying to ask
"What did you find?"
"We found a hill leading back to the cliff not far from us, the only issue is it's only accessible across a large pond with risk of Leeches."
Sam poked out of the trailer, holding 4 grappling hooks
"Don't worry about that, I got grappling hooks, but only 4 of us can get back up, one of us has to stay down here until rescue arrives." Kirk barges in after she said the last bit
"Don't worry, I can climb." Kirk chuckled.I looked at him skeptically.
"how exactly do you plan to do that?"
"Can you not?" he laughed.
"See you up there." he said as he jogged over to the towering rock wall. He jammed his prosthetic arm into a crack and started to climb.
The rest of us each toss a hook over the cliff, 3 of them lodge into the rock perfectly but Luna struggles to get hers in, so I grab hers and aim, before tossing it over and letting it lodge itself in the rock, I give the rope back to her, then we begin to climb. I'm fighting through the pain as I do so, we make it to the top after 10 minutes of pain and exertion. I look at the burning wreck of tanks and oil before us and grinned. we make our way around the car blockade as we head back to Toronto, after a few hours, we make it there, and immediately enter the CN tower, I pull out my radio and call to the rescue station "We need you! We're just in the CN Tower, get here ASAP!" I demand, the person on the other side says, "We'll be on our way." Before helicopter noises are barely heard in the background, I turn off the radio and clip it to my shirt.
"Now we wait." I say to the group, I scan the room to assure we're all here as I say so, luckily, we are.
A good 30 minutes later we hear the spinning blades of a helicopter lowering towards the ground outside, we leave the building as we're greeted with just that, a black, red and white helicopter with several scratches on the paint levitating just above the ground, a rope ladder hanging down by its side, I smile as climb up the ladder first, followed by Aaron, Luna, then Kirk, we all buckle up, the ladder retracts, and the doors close as the helicopter begins to lift off, the pain of the huge wound is much more bearable now, and is actually a little numb, which I much prefer over having as much pain as I did, the tingling gets intense all over my leg when I walk.
"Where to, Miss Hutch?" the pilot asks
"We need to get to Wasp HQ asap." I demand as the pilot nods and flies there
About halfway there, through the window, I spot a small gang In an alleyway, appearing to be smoking while talking, I scowl as I take off my seatbelt and open the door, wind blowing my short hair to the side
"Noell! What are you doing?!" the Pilot asks
I turn to the pilot
"The gang we were going after, they're down there, that has to be them."
I turn back to grab my Duffel bag and a parachute, then I take a few steps back to the open door "Here goes nothing." I say under my own breath
"I'm going after them! Don't let the others get to me! I can do this myself!" I yell over the wind before jumping out, not giving a chance for anyone to respond, as I fall. 30 seconds later I pull my parachute cord, the parachute - as it's meant to - shoots out of the bag as it slows my fall, I zip open the duffel bag as I pull out a small pistol with a scope and laser, I toss my duffel bag to on top of a tall building on one side of the alleyway, I take the parachute off as I slide down the right wall of the alleyway, landing on my feet, the small group leaning against the wall turn to look at me, the biggest one – presumably their leader – grins evilly and flips out a butcher knife, the knife in question had a dragon emblem engraved into it, the emblem was covered in blood, making it hard to see. The leader spins the knife around as he points it at me, then yells something in Spanish; "¡ASESINALA!"
As they charged at me, I smirked before shooting two of the closest thugs right between the eyes without hesitation, I dropped my gun and jumped into the air and landed, sitting on one of their shoulders, I wrapped my legs around their neck as I grabbed their chin and violently twisted, snapping their neck to the point where the skin ripped apart as I jumped up, off of them, and landed in a cat-like pose, I stood up properly as I clench my fist and slam one right into the nose of another thug, he falls onto his ass in a bloody explosion, his nose twisted and bent from the impact, they clutched their face and cussed something in spanish before I sent my foot flying down into their face, more blood spraying out, knocking them unconscious, one of the other thugs, a bigger one, says something In spanish; "¿Cómo podría una niña larguirucha, hacer eso?"
I smile "English, darling." I say before I ripped a pipe out of a nearby wall, slammed it onto the biggest thug's head, and kicked him right in the nuts, they pathetically grabbed their nether reigons as they fell backwards. Kicking and screaming like a little girl, 2 thugs ran up behind me but I grabbed them over my shoulders and slammed them down onto the hard pavement in front of me, now it was me and the leader, He tossed his knife at me but I dodged as it flew into the pavement below far from us, I pushed my foot against his chest as he was pushed down onto his ass, leaning against a garbage bin, I kneel down and grab him by the collar.
"Info, now, tell me everything."
The leader muttered something in Spanish and scoffed, I slapped him hard across the face
"English!" I yell as I stomped my foot down onto his hand, causing a surge of pain to shoot though him as he cussed in English
"Speak." I said with a growl through clenched teeth, he spoke in partially broken english and a strong Spanish accent "D-Dragonclaw lives.." I scowl "Info!" I say as I push my foot harder down onto his hand and hold the collar of his shirt tighter, he screams in pain.
"Who is your leader? Where is your base located? Give me everything!"The man still refused to speak, spitting on me. I stand up as I spin around and throw the man onto the ground face-first, he landed in front of Kirk and Luna, the man looked up and shook.
