Five Hargreeves had faced many battles in his life, but nothing could have prepared him for the sheer terror and helplessness he felt when he discovered that his wife, Y/N, had been kidnapped. His mind raced with fear and rage as he scoured the city, using every resource at his disposal to track her down. Days turned into a blur of dead ends and frantic searches until finally, a lead brought him to a rundown warehouse on the outskirts of town.

As Five approached the warehouse, his heart pounded in his chest. He could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins, sharpening his senses and fueling his determination. He moved silently, his training as an assassin coming to the forefront. He wasn't just a man on a mission; he was a force of nature, unstoppable and relentless.

Inside the warehouse, the dim light cast long shadows across the grimy floor. Five crept through the maze of crates and debris, his keen eyes scanning for any sign of Y/N. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the distant hum of machinery.

Then he heard it—a faint, muffled cry. His heart clenched, and he quickened his pace, following the sound until he found himself at the door of a small, locked room. With a swift kick, he broke the door open and stormed inside.

The sight that greeted him was enough to drive him to the edge of his sanity. Y/N was there, tied to a chair, her face bruised and bloodied, her clothes torn. Her eyes, swollen from crying, widened in shock and relief as they locked onto Five's.

"Y/N," he breathed, rushing to her side. He quickly untied her, his hands trembling with a mixture of rage and relief. "I'm here. You're safe now."

But before he could fully process the moment, a cruel laugh echoed through the room. Five turned, his eyes narrowing as he saw the kidnappers—three men, standing smugly at the entrance, clearly proud of the torment they had inflicted.

"You must be the hero husband," one of them sneered. "Too bad you're too late."

The rage that had been simmering within Five exploded. He gently set Y/N aside, his face a mask of cold fury. "You're going to regret ever laying a hand on her."

In a blur of motion, Five launched himself at the kidnappers. His training and experience made him a lethal whirlwind of vengeance. The first man barely had time to react before Five's fist connected with his jaw, shattering bone and sending him crashing to the ground.

The second kidnapper tried to draw a weapon, but Five was faster. He disarmed the man with a swift kick, then grabbed him by the throat and slammed him against the wall. The man's eyes bulged in fear as Five's grip tightened, cutting off his air supply until his struggles ceased.

The last kidnapper, seeing his comrades dispatched so brutally, tried to flee. But Five wasn't about to let him get away. With a time jump, he appeared in front of the fleeing man, blocking his escape. The kidnapper stumbled back, his face contorted in terror.

"Please," the man begged, falling to his knees. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean—"

"Save your apologies," Five growled, his voice icy. "You're going to pay for what you did to her."

With precise, ruthless efficiency, Five struck, breaking bones and tearing flesh. His mind was a maelstrom of fury, each blow fueled by the image of Y/N's battered face. By the time he was done, the kidnapper lay motionless on the ground, his body a broken, bloody mess.

Breathing heavily, Five turned back to Y/N. She was watching him, her eyes filled with a mixture of horror and gratitude. He crossed the room in a few strides and knelt beside her, his expression softening.

"It's over," he whispered, gently brushing a strand of hair from her face. "You're safe now."

Y/N nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Thank you, Five. I knew you'd come for me."

He pulled her into his arms, holding her close, his heart aching at the sight of her pain. "I'll always come for you, Y/N. Always."

As they left the warehouse, Five knew that the memory of this night would haunt him forever. The violence, the rage—it had all been necessary to save her, but it had also come at a cost. He had unleashed a darkness within himself, a darkness he would have to live with.

But as long as Y/N was safe, he knew it was worth it. He would face any nightmare, fight any battle, and endure any torment for her. Because she was his world, and he would protect her with every ounce of his being, no matter the cost.
