For Red Riot escape seemed like Mission Impossible. Getting into Phantom's HQ was hard enough, the small house was surrounded by giant walls, its grounds crawling with his employees and sidekicks, one wrong move and he could end up dead. Luckily for him he had taken notice of all possible escape routes while going in, it would make his job so much easier.
He knew he said he wouldn't leave, it was the bargain that got him into this mess in the first place, but he needed to see her again, he needed to say goodbye. Red Riot knew where Phantom was heading next, burry the body of the young child and then head off to kill anyone else that could possibly intervene with his plans.
He sprinted to the window and looked down at the garden bellow. He sat on the edge, felt the wind in his face and flung himself over the side directly into the branches of the tree next door. Red Riot was quick to climb down the tree and make his way to the exit point in the wall. "I wouldn't do that if I where you." A voice whispered from behind him. "Father wouldn't be very pleased that his new pet was trying to escape."
Father??? Phantom has kids???
"Just come back inside and I'll pretend this never happened." The girl soothed. "I know you're sad about the girl and greif makes people do strange things so please-"
"No." Red Riot picked up the baton that he had hidden in the bush. "I have to-"
"So be it." The girl pulled out her nunchucks and attacked, swinging them around and trying to get a solid hit on him.
Within the minute she had caught his hands and restrained him. "That's enough now." She growled as he continued to struggle against her. "There we go. Easy now. You've been hurt enough for one day."
He stopped struggling knowing it was futile and fell forward into her shackle like embrace. He hurt me. Red Riot wanted to scream. This is all his fault. He began to sob again, wiping his tears from his eyes she gave him a small smile, her eyes no longer stone cold she offered him a hand. "Its enough. You've done more than enough. You've been so brave but just listen to me. There's no shame in surrendering and living another day alright."
"Alright." He finally whispered, giving up the fight. "I guess you're right."
She smiled and pulled Red Riot off the ground.
It was mission impossible after all.
