Chap. 4 | The Name

"Alright. Mr. Ohmwrecker, why don't you introduce yourself to us?" The owl masked began to ask as he crossed his arms as if daring for Ohm to try something else. Delirious got behind Ohm and held his arms from the back. The brunette just glared through his bandana, "and why would I tell you that?" He spat, ignoring the fear that's rising in his stomach.

"Simple. Because it would make our job easier," Vanoss just shrugged, now in front of Ohm. Delirious was busy holding Ohm still. He noticed that the guy was fighting against his grip and he was not having any of it. "Stop struggling..." He whispered with a growl as low as can be, catching the scent of the brunette by the way he was so close to his neck. Caramel and vanilla. Delirious shook the thought off, tightening the grip on Ohm's wrists. He saw that Vanoss was now a lot closer to Ohm's face and noticed that the brunette had pressed closer to his body from backing away from his leader.

"No answer? Well how about we take off this mask of yours-" behind the bandana, Ohm's eyes widened at the statement. He let his body overtake the minute he placed his shoe on Vanoss' chest, kicking him and pushing Delirious on the process. Catching both the males in surprise, Delirious lets go of his grip and fixed his mask, same with Vanoss who staggered backwards.

Ohm took the moment to breathe before launching forward to grab his knife that had been disarmed from him by Wildcat earlier and ran up to Vanoss who was already in a fighting stance. Ohm was the first one who attacked, swaying his knife horizontally to slice the chest but failing when Vanoss suddenly dodged it, ducking under the arm and throwing a punch on the hoodied man's stomach. Ohm grabbed the arm while coughing before delivering a kick once again, aiming on the leader's head.

They both stepped backwards with Ohm gripping his knife and leaving Vanoss with only his fists. Diving in again, Ohm caught the other off guard by his speed. And when it came to speed, he only know one assassin that could match Ohm's agility. Vanoss took his eye off his opponent and spotted Delirious who was just standing there, watching as the fight unfold right before his eyes.
In pure chance, Vanoss was able to grab one of Ohm's fist and pulled the man in to him, kneeing Ohm on the ribs and pushing him off.

Feeling the air leave his lungs, Ohm fell back, coughing violently and watching his hands getting covered by blood from his mouth. Not giving the man to recover, Vanoss instantly kicked Ohm on the torso and pinning him to the ground. Raising his arms over his head with one hand while the other reached out for the mask that covers the half of Ohm's face. What's so serious about it anyway?

Noticing that the reason for the fight was when he spoke about taking the bandana off, it immediately peaked his interest on who was the man behind the grey cloth that has the symbol in Greek mythology on the center. Ohm's panic rose to the roof once again when he realised that he was being pinned to the ground with a hand closing in dangerously to his eyes.

Acting without thinking, Ohm gurgled as much saliva he could and spit it out on Vanoss' mask. Vanoss groaned in disgust, letting go of the arms to wipe off the spit that covered his vision. He frustratedly growled when he got thrown off, sitting up by the elbows, he yelled for his teammate's alias. "Delirious! Will you do anything useful?!"

Delirious snapped back into reality and in one quick swift, he grabbed his pocketknife and held Ohm's neck, placing the tip of the blade causing to draw a drop of blood. Wincing at the pain, Ohm just glared at the man before him but silently praising the way his body moved fast, catching him off guard. Groaning from the ground, Vanoss stood up and kicked Ohm on the ribs once again before holding the brunette's hair.

"Listen here you little bitch, all we wanted to know is your real name you understand?" Instead, they got the reply by Ohm painfully smirking and chuckling. "I'll give you a deal, I'll tell you assholes what my real name is in exchange of never trying to take this baby off of my eyes." Vanoss squinted his eyes as Delirious watched Ohm suspiciously before glancing back at Vanoss who sighed and nodded his head. Ohm smiled in relief, the blood dropped in the corner of his mouth before speaking in a raspy voice, "Ryan. That's all you'll get. The name's Ryan."

Finally, after all those punches, Vanoss was satisfied, letting go of the grip and heading upstairs to clean his mask-filled spit, he left the two masked men alone.
