The Baba Yaga (John Wick X Black Lagoon)

Chapter Two - Dancing Partner

In the jeep, Benny drives John Wick and the rest of the Lagoon Company away from the Yellow Flag. 

Wick: Where are we going? 

Dutch: We're making a stop at the Lovelace Mansion. Seems Mr. X is trying to strong arm the Cartel as well as Hotel Moscow.

Upon hearing that, Revy groans in frustration. She knew exactly who would be there. 

Revy: Why not that little shit send his fucking maid to do it?! 

Rock: How about we not jump to violence....

Revy: Fuck off your pussy! If that bitch tries anything I'm putting a bullet right between her fucking eyes! 

Wick says nothing as the ride continues. After a short drive, Wick and the Lagoon Company exit the car.

Dutch: Revy....try not to shoot anyone. Last thing we need is another shootout. 

Revy simply flips off Dutch as the enter the mansion. When they enter, they are met by the young Garcia Lovelace. Wick is the first to speak. 

Wick: I hear you're having a problem with Mr. X?

Garcia: Mr. X has been threatening armed retaliation against the Lovelace family if we refused to fall in line with his logic. So you must be the Baba Yaga then....

???: John Wick.....

As the voice calls out to Wick, he sees Roberta wearing her maid suit. As she walks towards to him, he lets a small smile escape his face. 

Wick: Rosarita Cisneros. It's been too long. 

Roberta: I go by Roberta now. And I agree, it has been too long since our last dance. Are you still with the Continental?

Wick: It hasn't been the same without you. 

Revy: Hey Boogeyman! You know that fucking four eyed bitch?!

Wick simply nods in agreement. Afterwards, Dutch got the conversation back on track. 

Dutch: It seems the Lovelace isn't the only syndicate having trouble with Mr. X. 

Garcia: Hotel Moscow, the Triads and the Italian Mafia are all being threatened by Mr. X's organization. 

Suddenly, the sound of gunshots were heard in the distance. Before any could react, a large group of armed mercenaries burst through the door. 

Garcia: What's the meaning of this?!

Mercenary Captain: Mr. X sends his regards! 

Before the Mercenaries could open fire on the young Garcia, Revy pulls out her pistols and begins shooting at them. 

Revy: IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT YOU LIMP DICKED COCKSUCKERS?!

Dutch, Rock, Benny take Garcia behind cover. Dutch pulls out an assault rifle and begins laying down suppressing fire. 

Dutch: ROCK! KEEP THE KID LOW!

Meanwhile, John Wick and Roberta see a familiar sight in the chaos of the gunfight. They look to each other as John pulls out two pistols and Roberta readied her umbrella disguised SPAS-12.

Roberta: Shall we dance John?

Wick: My pleasure.

As Wick said that, he and Roberta began mowing down the mercenaries. The way they moved was an elegant yet brutal dance. While Roberta's shotgun blew the mercenaries away, Wick landed precise shots on the torso and head. When Benny peaks his head out of cover, he's stunned at the sight.

Benny: So this is how the Baba Yaga operates.....and I thought Revy was scary.

Revy: I FUCKING HEARD THAT BENNY! WHEN I'M FINISHED WITH THESE FUCKERS, I'M GONNA FUCKING CASTRATE YOU!

As Revy shoots down several mercenaries, Revy catches a glimpse of Wick and Roberta seemingly dancing while shooting down mercenaries. 

Revy: What the fuck......

Meanwhile, Wick and Roberta were still doing their routine. Wick and Roberta perfectly coordinated their execution, able to read their movements without having to speak. This wasn't a simply gunfight, this was a dance. Despite this, both were doing this for different reasons. Wick was doing this strictly for business while Roberta was motivated by her obligation to protect Garcia. Once the gun fight was over, nearly all the mercenaries were dead.

Roberta: I see you haven't lost your step.....Baba Yaga.

Wick: I could say the same for you....Bloodhound of Florencia.

After that exchange, Wick walks over to the wounded mercenary captain. He attempts to crawl away, but Wick stops him and pulls a gun on him.

Wick: Where's Mr. X?

Mercenary Captain: Go fuck yourself!

Wick: I'll ask again. Where's Mr. X?

Mercenary Captain: And I'll say again, go fuck yourself!

Without hesitation, Wick shoots his gun at the captain's leg. The shot causes him to scream in pain. 

Mercenary Captain: Aw fuck?! What the fuck?! What the fuck is wrong with you?! My leg! You motherfucker!

Wick: Where's Mr. X?! I won't ask again! 

Mercenary Captain: I don't know! I never saw his face! Every time someone needed killing, he always sent someone else! Some asshole by the name of Black Jack Morrison! 

Wick: Thank you. 

Wick then finishes off the mercenary captain by shooting him in the head. Once he finishes it, Wick meets up Dutch.

Wick: You know this Black Jack Morrison?

Dutch: Unfortunately. He's a mean son of a bitch I knew back in Nam. He's former SAS. I had heard that he was hanging around some gang in Roanapur, but I never knew who. 

Revy: So you're telling me some limey, tea drinking fucker is working with Mr. X?

Benny: Sounds about right. 

Wick: Where does he hide? 

Dutch: He usually hands out around a brothel a few miles away. 

Wick: Good. Then we'll be there. 

As the Black Lagoon ready up the car, Wick takes a moment to say his goodbyes to Roberta.

Roberta: It was a good dance while it lasted.

Wick: It felt good dancing again. Till next time Roberta.

The two parted on friendly terms. Both maintained the self respect as both warriors and assassins. Now John Wick along with the Lagoon Company made their way to the brothel to find and extract Black Jack Morrison.
