Arrow Hawk: Gronk Smash! (Book 5)

Ambush! (Gronk Attacks the Hockey Avengers)

It is a long break for Dallas, Tampa, Colorado, Chicago and all the teams really. All the Hockey Avengers have been summoned to H.A.T.T.Y. by Hawkley. Jonathan and Patrick stand together. Jamie, Tyler and Val are standing together, while Nikita Zadorov is beside Val and Gabriel. Vlad stands across, eyeing Gabriel with a dirty look on his face.

"So what does Hawkley want now?" Vladdy asks.

"Oh, Vladislav!" John Tavares smacks Vladdy across the shoulder.

Kelly Mackinnon, Ben Smith, Nikita Nesterov, Sidney Crosby, and Evgeni Malkin "Geno" stand together. The redheaded heroine is facing them all. She has her hands on her hips and her wings are activated, flapping behind her.

"Is it true that there is a threat out there?" Ben asks.

"Finally action," Nesty says, clapping his hands together.

"It's true, I'm afraid. And I saw just what and who it was!" Zvezda tells, shaking her head.

"Who? What?" Jonathan questions.

"It no Russian, right?" Val asks. "Russia best!"

"Hey! No! Geno say that!" Geno scolds.

"Dlya Russii!!" Nesty and Zady exclaim.

"For Russia?" Vladdy remarks with a roll of his eyes. "Y'all are crazy! What's Russia gotta do with this?"

"Vladdy too American, lost touch with motherland!" Val chirps, folding his arms across his chest. He raises his head up proudly.

"At least I don't speak broken English and can actually understand interviewers!" Vladdy retorts. Val doesn't respond, instead he looks at Zady. "Awe, no reply, archer?"

"Vladislav Yevgenievich Namestnikov, you stop that now!" Zvezda snaps. "You are WAY to arrogant and maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't come with us."

"A-Are you BENCHING me?" Vladdy gasps.

"In a way, yes I am. Unless you cool down and get along with your fellow team members here."

Vladdy rolls his eyes and sighs. "Fine. Who is the ACTUAL person?"

"Well...this is gonna be odd sounding, but it's--" Zvezda begins before there is a deafening roar and thud outside the headquarters. "ROB GRONKOWSKI!!"

The winged heroine starts to bark orders at the Hockey Avengers, who luckily are all prepared to fight with their various weaponry and powers. Sidney, Kelly and Geno race off to the elevator and vanish from sight. She leads the others outside.

The Avenging team rushes outside and halts just a few feet from the door and duck as the hood of a car flies right at them.

"What the hell?" Chaos remarks.

Russiosteel transforms into his big steel-armored self. "Where is source of chaos?"

"Right here you idiot!" Chaos snaps.

"Not you, Vladdy!" Russiosteel growls. "No make me punch you!"

"Like you've got the balls, Nesty! I'll figure this out!" Chaos spits, before he powers up and darts forward. He dodges pieces of car and blasts the debris with his plasma rings.

"Tyler!" Zvezda calls out.

"Present Evs!" Scorpion sing-songs.

"Get out that hook gadget of yours and lasso Vladdy please and drag him back into the building. He's officially benched!!" the redhead orders.

"With pleasure Miss Captain!" Scorpion salutes her and then whips out the hook. He launches the string line into the air and then makes a lasso with it. He whips it around in the air and runs after Chaos. He lets it fly at the Russian and it loops perfectly around the Lightning forward's arms and halts him in place.
