Bo's POV – 1 Year Later – City Alley – Almost Midnight

"Bo? Did you hear me? We're going to the wedding, right? Hellooo? Can you hear me?"

"I'm-" It's hard to answer Lauren back even through comms as I dodged a ninja's punch and gave him one of my own. "a little-" Another ninja had to be pulled off my back before I roundhouse kicked them in the stomach right into a brick wall. "busy-" Another ninja charged towards me from behind and I was able to get my elbow up just in time for them to run into it and break their nose. "Right now."

"Oh please, it's not like you're going up against my crazy ex, Crystal. It's just some ninjas."

"If you were here right now maybe you would have some respect for just some ninjas. Now what were you saying?" I asked as I used my throwing stars to pin the last ninja up on the brick wall that was opposite of the brick wall that I kicked other ninja into earlier.

"I was saying are we going to Evony's and Tamsin's wedding, right?" I smiled as I got on my black limited edition 2006 MV Agusta F4CC which is modified with my Shadow Assassin technology. "Of course we're going. We-"

"Yo, BoBo! Sorry to cut in on comms you guys but, I got bored. I can't believe LoLo and I are on desk duty just because we-"

"We?" Lauren strongly implied it was not a "we" scenario, making me chuckle. "Okay, not we…but…I can't believe I put both of us on desk duty just because I threw a shoe at the President…It was an accident…kinda."

I chuckled at Kenzi. She really hates the current President. "Shit, BoBo. Did you hear?"

"Reported break in and assault at 170 Villiers Street. Any available nearby units please respond."

"Yup, just heard it on my scanner lined into my hood. I got it, I'm literally right around the corner. So, have Dyson call the units off."

"Okay BoBo."

"Be careful, Bo."

"I always am babe, don't worry. I love you." I reassured her before I went silent since I was entering a potentially very dangerous situation.

I know I'm at the right address thanks to the GPS that's built-in the hood of my suit. Hell, what isn't built-in into my suit? But anyway...it's an abandoned building that looks a lot like the clubhouse. And from the looks of it, it's been abandoned for months at the very least.

"Huh, dispatch must have gotten the wrong address. I guess I'll check the next block over for any disturbance-"

Suddenly, I was attacked from behind finding myself thrown into a wall; front first. I was just about to get up and rebound when I got punched in the face by a fist that felt like a ton of bricks. "Pathetic…"

I know that voice. "I can't believe how much of a disappointment you turned out to be. I had such high hopes for you, Ysabeau."

I got up and faced him face to face, deactivating my realistic 3D hologram black trademark shades to look him right in the eyes. "What are you doing here? I thought we'd never see each other again. That was the deal, wasn't it?"

He nodded, "It was…but, you see…You drew me here. Yes, we had a deal but you broke it first, not me."

"I did no such thing." I told the man that I once considered my friend and mentor as we circled each other in the moonlight lit room. "You didn't even want to do your part unless I agreed to leave you alone forever after I got what I asked of you. So, I got what I needed from you and left you be as we agre-"

"You also promised to deliver justice to the guilty! YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO RID THE WORLD OF MONSTERS! Yet, you haven't killed a single monster since you met your precious doctor/detective wife of yours. In other words, you haven't killed in years! I hate liars and disappointments and you're both, Ysabeau."

His huge muscular figure charged at me faster than I could react. So, next thing I knew, his large right hand was wrapped around my throat, cutting off the oxygen to my lungs as he easily lifted my whole body off the ground. "But, I will give you one chance and one chance only to redeem yourself."

The man like giant who is definitely not my friend at the moment with his rock hard skin put his face closer to mine before he spoke again. "Go back to your original assassin ways or the next time you see me…Well, let's just say you'll wish that you never came to me all those years ago."

I activated 2 of my throwing stars to come out of my sleeves and into my hands. I pressed the center of the throwing stars to release the blades and slashed him quickly, causing him to back away with lightning speed and release me. "Oh, well…that's good. You still know how to shed blood. Good girl, there's hope for you yet."

He grinned along with his comment as he touched the cut that ripped through his light blue T-shirt like butter to leave a wide cut across his muscular chest. "You're not the boss of me. You never were and you never will be."

He scoffed with a soft chuckle. "Do as I say or things will get very bad for your world, Ysabeau. Do not make me show you what happens when you become my enemy. You know what I am like as an ally. You do not know what I am like as an enemy and trust me you don't want to find out. But…if you make me pay you another visit because you didn't do what I said then you will know what I like as your enemy. I promise you that. So, do not make me visit you again, Ysabeau."

With that, he turned around and walked out of the building. As soon as I was sure that he was out of sight I let my body feel the pain that it was feeling and collapsed to my knees just as I got Vex on comms. "Vex…he's back…"

"Huh? What? Who luv?"

"Chance. Chance is back."

"What does that bloody bastard want?"

"He wants me to become the monster I once was…Before I met Lauren. Vex, meet me at the clubhouse. I'm climbing onto the bike now and it'll take me there since I'm about to pass out…I think Chance broke some ribs and gave me a concussion when he used me as bulldozer against a wall."

I didn't hear Vex's reply as I was losing consciousness while my bike got me back to the clubhouse with the black bulletproof shield covering my body so I wouldn't fall off the bike on the way there.

"Scanning for injuries…4 broken ribs and a concussion detected."

Great…

Lauren programmed all of her medical knowledge into all of my Shadow Tech. So, I knew the analysis from the bike couldn't be wrong.

Well…at least I don't got to worry about the lecture I'm going to get later since I'm about to pass out right now.
