"So this is the shit show the head of Hotel Moscow wants me in charge of hey?" Bucky asked as he pour a drink of Vodka. He looked out "Is it usually pissing down with rain?'
"Negative, its just the wet season right now" Boris said
"I see" Bucky said as he sipped the vodka, the drink was cold and enjoyable
"So what do I have to do?" Bucky asked
"The Columbians are moving in since the Kapitan's death" Boris stated
"Who?" Bucky asked
"Not to mention the Italian Mafia" Boris said "And someone's snooping around our business"
"We'll deal with the Cartel and the Mafia before dealing with the Triad. Once we're done with our business with the other heads of the city I will talk to this investigator" Bucky said finishing hsi vodka before looking at the bottle "Peach?"
"It was the Kapiutan's favourite" Boris said
"I see, well I prefer Apple" Bucky said "Maybe the Marshmallow one" he added smirking "reminds me of my childhood"
"I see Kommandant" Boris said
"Just call me Bucky for now" Bucky said
"So Abrego" Bucky said as he removed his jacket which was a black version of Balalaika's old coat, his steel arm on full display making the Colombian gulp down his nerves. "I've heard you tried to muscle in on Hotel Moscow's turf" Bucky glared at him as he pulled out an SIG-Sauer P220ST hand gun in one hand and in the other was a COP 357 Derringer, both of his trigger fingers were resting on the trigger guard as a warning
"I'm sorry" Abrego said
"I see, but I'm failing to understand, why you did it; thinking you could muscle onto our turf because the leader was dead?" Bucky asked
"who better to take control of Roanapur?" Abrego asked before the steel hand flashed out and grabbed his throat
"Hotel Moscow, under MY command" Bucky said
"I've got the message"
"Good, now I will allow you to continue what you've been doing. But do something I don't like and well" Bucky said picking up the Sig and shooting a member of Abrego's cartel. "Only it won't just be one man. It will be all of your men." Bucky said as he calmly put his firearms and flexed his cybernetic hand a bit before grabbing the drink in front of him "A mojito huh?" he asked enjoying the refreshing drink. "A bit less mint next time" he said smirking as he enjoyed the environment
"So you're the pissant of the Italian Mafia. I'm not impressed" Bucky said booting Verrochio in the face while his Hotel Moscow men held down Verrochio's Mafia
"Fuck you; you Russian" Verrochio said only to get a metal fist into the jaw
"One I'm American, two Russia save my ass, and three Balalaika barely tolerated you, so shape up or ship out; understood you Italian prick" Bucky growled
"Si" Verrochio said as he wiped the blood off of his mouth onto the sleeve of his expensive Armani suit. "So what else do you want?"
"20%" Bucky said "Which I'll think you'll find more generous than Balalaika's 40% of your business going through the Hotel Moscow areas"
"And if I don't?" Verrochio asked
"Well since I know you're not going to, here's the deal, you piss me off any more and I'll drown you in a pot of boiling Marinara sauce"
"Now that's just racist" Verrochio said
"I thought you would enjoy having your last moments in the world being the taste of your country. And it would put a new spin on the term died for your country"
"That would be true boss" a Mafia thugs said
"See, he seems up to the idea" Bucky said before leaving. "Until next time" he said leaving
"Fucking Yank" Verrochio grunted as Hotel Moscow left. But next thing the Mafioso knew a knife was embedded into the wall, a couple of millimetres away from his balls
"Fucking Prick" Bucky replied walking out.
"Come in, have a drink, grab a girl have some fun" Chang said smiling as Bucky walked in
"Bai Ji-Shin Chang. Or do you prefer just Mr Chang?" Bucky asked
"Just Chang" Chang said
"Has any people ever told you, that you dress stylishly" Bucky smiled
"Always, now let's get down to business shall we, I take it I'm looking at Hotel Moscow's new leader" Chang said
"I am, and I'm looking at the leader of Roanapur's Triad?"
"You are" Chang said "Would you like to have some background music, maybe a bit of Johnny goes marching home?"
"An American Classic. But you knew that since you're the CIA's errand boy" Bucky said "Don't worry only I know that. But tell me how long were you a dirty cop?"
"Long enough" Chang said
"And your niece Rebecca I take it, how did you feel when you heard what happened to her?" Bucky asked
"It made me pissed, so this is how Hotel Moscow works now?" Chang asked
"NO, just informing you what I know" Bucky said as he finished his drink and sat back
"So you're not just a turncoat WW2 Veteran, but a sharp eye and a sneaky assassin" Chang smirked
"Shut the fuck up" Bucky said "My past is my business; anybody thinking otherwise will not be tolerated"
"Just showing you what I can find about you" Chang said smirking
"So a truce is the only safe option, I take it?" Bucky asked
"You know it" Chang said as the rain became harder. "Fucking wet season"
Bucky walked out to his car and stopped
"Sir?" Boris asked
"Sergeant, go on ahead and start the car, I'll be there soon" Bucky said giving Boris his coat before he pulled on a pair of gloved
"Yes sir" Boris said. Soon several thugs crawled out of the shadows
"Hello, so who do you belong do, the Colombian aren't that stupid. Neither is the Italians, Chang's way too smart for this. So you're the local mercenaries of the city aren't you" he asked
"That's right" the leader said
"Okay" "Bucky said punching the guy with his steel hand shattering his skull, before a second thug caught a boot to the face. Thinking quickly he fired across the back of a third thug severing the spinal cord cord making him flop to the ground, two more tried to attack Bucky, only for them to have their rib cages reduced to chips after a single punch from his steel hand before a fifth thug feel to his knife. Two more came at him, but Bucky grabbed one of them and shocked him as his partner was shot in the knees and heart. He removed his knife and looked to the last one standing
"So what do you want to know?"
"Who sent you?" Bucky asked
"No one" the thug said "We thought we would take you down to cripple Hotel Moscow" he continued before Bucky stabbed him
"Tell me no lies, and I won't kill you"
"That's not how that goes, but" the thug said as Bucky stabbed his knees "OKAY, OKAY, some blonde bitch hired us"
"What blonde bitch?" Bucky asked
"Fry face, alright! she hired you a week ago, and she hired us to test you" the thug said
"Interesting, thanks for that" Bucky said snapping his neck and got up "So Balalaika, why the test
"Boss!" Boris said
"What is it?" Bucky asked
Bucky and Boris arrived at Balalaika's warehouse
"Dude must have been determined to get here" an agent was heard saying before Bucky and Boris walked forward. The pair nodded before they round to see several former Soviet Union special forces pointing their guns at the two
"Well, this just went to shit" Argent said
"What are you doing here?" Boris asked
"Investigation, you Vodka soaked" Argent started only to be punched in the gut by Boris
"Boris" Bucky said in a calm voice
"Yes, sir?" Boris asked
"Ease off of them" the man said walking forward "Now where is your leader?"
"Hey Boss, you better get over here, SAP" Argent said
"Good, now let's have a drink" Bucky said sitting down
"Hello?" Black Widow said arriving at the warehouse and looking around, Bucky was waiting for her
"Greetings Natasha Romanov" Boris said "Our new commander is waiting for you"
"Oh I can't wait to meet him" Black Widow said as a glint of steel was seen
"Nice to see you Black Widow" Bucky said
"Bucky Barnes, shouldn't you be helping Captain America now?" Black Widow asked
"Shouldn't you be at Fury's side right about now?" Bucky asked flexing his steel hand
"Fury sent me here to find out who killed Balalaika setting off this chaos" Black Widow said
"And what did you find out?" Bucky asked
"He could have Balalaika who was shipping radioactive material, she was most likely killed over it so the murderer could make a dirty bomb, but if they are then I don't knwo where he is getting the rest of the parts from" Black Widow said
"Fuck, the Triads probably is helping this bastard with his plan" Bucky snarled
"So you're going after the Triads?" Black Widow asked
"Not quite, especially since they've got Remy Lebeau he with, but the mutant is just here for gambling" Bucky said
"Then what's the plan?" Black Widow asked
"Simple, you keep to the investigation and I will handle the Triads" Bucky said
"Good plan; but you should know" Black Widow said
"That if I interrupt or other get involved in your investigation then you will come after me right?" Bucky asked "Comrade"
"Good" Black Widow said
"Make sure we stay out of her way" Bucky said
"Yes sir" Boris said
"So this was her office?" Bucky asked
"Yes sir, but it is now yours" Boris said
"I see, does it upset you?" Bucky asked as he collapsed into the chair.
"A bit" Boris said
"I see, I'm sorry if my presence here is a sore point" Bucky said
"If you were brought in to replace the Kapitan, then I have no quarrel with it" Boris said
"Thank you, I just hope I can be just as good as her. But what Black Widow said has placed me on edge; something I don't need at the moment"
"I agree sir"
"Boris, sweep the city. Find them and bring them back here" Bucky said "We will deal with him."
G'day Guys Grizz here and yes Bucky is now the head of Hotel Moscow and that means whoever killed Balalaika is dead meat, only if they can find him. Next up with a two parter with the Punisher and one of the parts will explain how he met/knows Revy so that will be fun, I'm not sure if I'll post them together or apart.
So until next tiem I'll catch you on the flipside
