Shattered

Chapter One: The Devil of Hell's Kitchen

This is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me.

No one, and I mean no one, knocks me out and takes me to some random abandoned warehouse after tying me up. Now that I think about, one time I passed out after a few drinks and woke up in California. But that's another story for a rainy day.

But I mean honestly, who does this guy thinks he is? Geez. Wait till I get untied, he's gonna get it. Oh. Wait just a minute. You're probably wondering what the hell is going on. Well, let's just start from the very beginning...Things'll get quite interesting...
~ ~ ~

It must be hard being so freaking stupid. I mean this dude is hiding behind a dumpster thinking I'm not gonna find him. It's almost amusing to me. But there was no time for fun and games, I needed to take this guy out and move on. I had things to do.

Hunt. Kill. Repeat.

It was that easy. They didn't call me The Huntress for nothing. I smirked slightly to myself as I walked into the alleyway.

"Come out come out wherever you are..." I said and I watched as the man got up and tried to run. I can use literally any weapon there is and tonight I chose to bring my bow. I pulled it off my back and grabbed an arrow. After loading it, I aimed and shot the man. I have perfect aim but instead of killing him immediately I shot him in his lower back. He'd soon bleed out anyways unless I found him innocent and decided to help him. But that's rare. So anyways, back to the point.

I put my bow on my back again as I started walking towards him. He rolled over so that he laid on his side and blood already stained his shirt.

"Please...Don't...Don't kill me. I-I promise I'll g-g-get his m-money." He said attempting to scoot back.

So this is about money...Huh. I thought about it a moment and I shook my head.

"Sorry buddy. I've got a job to do. It is what it is." I said nudging him a little with me boot. I could almost all the money I was about to get. Apparently my current employer really wants this man dead so he's paying me alot of money just to assassinate this one person.

The man looked up at me and he looked as if he were thinking about something. "You'll never get away with this. He'll find you. He's probably on his way. He has no fear!" I raised an eyebrow and shivered slightly because the man's words and how he said them were quite chilling.

"Yeah. Whatever you say." I said taking a few steps back. The man continued bleeding out and his breathing grew more intense as he fought to stay awake.

I started walking farther into the alleyway and I was stopped when I heard someone drop down behind me.

You'll never get away with this. He'll find you! He's probably on his way now! He has no fear!

Oohhhh. 'The Man Without Fear.' Huh. I certainly knew who that was. I had heard of him many times...Though I had never had the pleasure of meeting him.

I turned around to face him with a smile. He had his hands clenched and his head was slightly tilted down as if he were listening to what was I was doing. Or what I was about to do anyways.

"Well look what we have here. 'The Devil of Hell's Kitchen.'" I smirked as I circled the red suited man slowly, observing his every move. He quickly turned and tried to punch me but I grabbed his arm and twisted it slightly before pushing him to the ground.

"I thought you'd be a little more...Challenging than this. It's quite disappointing actually." I said.

"You haven't seen anything yet." he spat, standing up and clenching his hands into fists. I only smirked, my eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hit me with your best shot." I said with a devious smile.

He ran foward and was able to get a punch in. This infuriated me and I hit him once on the face before kicking his shin. He stepped back to avoid another hit. I scowled as I wiped some blood off my lip.

"That all you got?" He asked, a smirk playing on his lips.

I whipped out one of my smaller blades and I threw it at him. He moved slightly and it only hit his shoulder. I swore under my breath as he pulled the blade out, throwing it to the side.

I've dealt with the Fantastic Four, The Avengers, and the rest of SHIELD. I'm sure I can deal with one guy in a red suit and a helmet with horns. He's not the only red suited guy I've met before...

I shook my head to clear my thoughts and went in for another punch. He dodged it and punched my once...Twice in the face. I growled a little and before I could retaliate, my phone rang. We both stopped and I pulled it out. He stood there and waited as I answered the phone. It was my current employer.

"Hey. I'm kinda busy right n-" I said into the phone angrily as I paced slightly.

"Forgot about that man. The one I sent you to kill. I have something new for you to do." I stopped and bit my lip.

"I'm listening..." I replied and the Devil leaned against the wall, just watching me.

"I'm need you to go undercover as-" I cut him off.

"Not here. Not now. Just text me the details." I said in a whisper. There was silence on the other end and I heard him open his mouth to speak.

"Alright. But you'll get paid alot of one for this job. And it'll take some time to complete. I'm counting on you." I rolled my eyes slightly as I put one hand on my hip.

"Yeah yeah. Has there ever been a case where I failed? No I didn't think so. But if you'll excuse me, I've got to kick this guy's ass. Addio!" I hung up and as soon as I slipped my phone in my pocket, two wooden sticks came flying at me. I cried out and fell to the ground holding my nose. Before I could get up he was on top of me. I cursed under my breath and he smirked slightly.

I started to reach down to grab a knife from the front area of my belt and since he was on top of me my hand was dangerously close to....Well nevermind.

He pressed his knee on my wrist, stopping my hand from reaching my knife.

"Now now let's not do that. I just wanna have a little chat..." he said then everything went black. Well. The perfect ending to a great night. Hint the sarcasm. Oh, and this is where our story picks up...
