Hello again! So here's another massive chapter. All mistakes are my own. Thank you all for the wonderful comments.
Sadly I do not own the avengers
Now into the show!
" Today marks the one year anniversary of Tony Starks disappearance. Today, due to insurance laws, Tony Stark will be declared dead, by his parents Maria and Howard Stark. The F.B.I. and police task forces will be pulled off the Stark case tomorrow afternoon. No one has seen any evidence that Tony Stark is alive and well since the series of videos emerged 6 months ago. The Stark family wishes for there to be no funeral for their son, but in his memory they will be donating $10 million dollars to The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, in order to prevent more families from having to experience a child being abducted. Now onto other story's..."
Jarvis couldn't stand watching the news anymore, because ever since the videos had surfaced 6 months ago every newscaster had there own theory on why Tony was in Boulder. Jarvis and his team of MI6 agents, looked into the videos and found that Tony had been in the city, and had discovered a cctv video showing all 6 of the people featured in the videos getting into a mini-van and driving off. They managed to get plate numbers off the van, but they turned out to be fake. The van itself wasn't able to help pinpoint their location due to its extremely popular make and model. There were over 5,000 in a 250 mile radius and there was a high chance that the owners even registered their van. The videos ended up being a cold trail, but they did assure Jarvis that Tony was alive, or at least that he was alive six months ago.
Tony had no idea on what was happening in the outside world, and frankly he didn't care. Today for the first time in over a year, he was being brought before the high council. He was nervous because he didn't know what he did to get summoned to them. Once he got to the doors that led to the council chambers, he became even more anxious due to the fact that both guards were dressed in full dress uniform and had their masks on. Both were Ravens, so their uniforms were pitch black, and both looked really ominous. When Tony got to the door they both flanked him and guided him into the chambers. The room was dark and each elder held a tall candle in their right hand, and a ceremonial sword in their left. They each had on eagle masks and their golden brown hoods were drawn up. At the head of the circle stood the Master of Masters. She had on a folded eagle mask and a robe rich golden fabric.
"Cub Samael, we called you before us today we believe you are ready to take on the role of assassin. You have proved yourself a worthy warrior and today you're efforts will be rewarded. Samael, remove your tunic and kneel before me." She beckoned to Samael, who withdrew his shirt in a swift movement, and handed it to one of the guards. Then he went to kneel before her.
" Samael, will you vow to uphold the values and beliefs of the Order of Dolofóni? " She asked him.
"I do."
"And do you vow to protect your brethren to the utmost ability?"
"I do."
"And do you vow to willingly lay down your own life for the Dolofóni?"
"I do."
"Samael, with the power that has been passed down to me from the line of Master of Master's before me, I dub thee Hawk Samael." she then took her sword and made two precise incisions to each scar that already adorned his shoulders. He kept a straight face throughout the entire process. "Elder Fane, please stand next to Samael. Elder Fane, do you vow to watch over Samael?"
"I do." he replied
"And do you promise to guide Samael through the trials he will embark on as a Hawk?"
"I do."
"And do you promise to uphold Samael to the best of his abilities?"
"I do."
"Then I appoint you Gaurdian of Hawk Samael. May your journeys together be filled with luck and fortune. Now Hawk Samael, what weapons choose you?" she said as she directed him to a table laid out with every weapon one could choose from. Tony's heart filled with glee as he saw the set of Knives that Jarvis had given him laid out on the table. He was allowed to choose five weapons, and since the knives were a set he choose them as his first weapon. He then selected twin tanaka swords, a beautifully carved bow, that would strike envy into any archer, and a ultra lightweight sniper rifle.
" You have chosen wisely, Samael. May each and every weapon you have chosen today become an extension of who you are." The Master of Masters said as she stepped forward to place a hawk mask on Tony's face. As soon as she had done so, the other masters stepped forward to place Tony's new weapons on him, Tony felt as though he was preparing for battle. Then as soon as he had been adorned with The weapons, excepting for the sniper rifle, which his Guardian carried the Elders fell into a V-shaped formation with Tony and Fane in the middle and went through the doors. On the other side of the doors every assassin and cub had gathered, assassins doning their full dress uniform while the cubs were wondering who had gotten Knighted.
"Today we have had the privilege of knighting one of the best students to have come through our doors. We are proud to have had the pleasure of training this amazing young man and are pleased to introduce our newest Hawk." when she finished speaking, as if on cue, all the Elders moved aside and Samael stepped forward. "Guardian Fane, would you take the honor of removing the mask?" She asked Fane who was standing behind him.
As Fane stepped up to remove the mask he whispered into Tony's ear, " I am so proud of you, and guess what I won!" Tony was bewildered for a moment, and then he remembered the bet, along with the pot of money, going around the high level assassins. "Let me introduce my new fledgling, Hawk Samael!" Fane yelled as he removed Tony's mask. The whole room erupted in applause. At 14 1/2 years old, Tony was the youngest Hawk in a century, and everyone was excited to see the assassin he would become. Tony and the elders dispersed into the room. The bear clan rushed over to him and embrace him in a massive group hug, being mindful of the assortment of weapons Tony had on his body.
"Why didn't you tell us you were being knighted?" Maahas asked.
"I honestly didn't know until I was in the council chambers." he answered
"Is Elder Fane, really your Gaurdian?" Koen asked with awe.
"Yes, I don't think he knew until Elder Pandra, announced it at the ceremony."
"You must be something else if you have a Elder for a Guardian." Aiden announced.
"So what weapons did you choose?" Duncan asked. Then the boys finally saw the numerous knives and swords that were strapped to Tony's body, and the bow in his hand.
"Well I choose this beautiful set of knives," He then withdrew one and handed it to the boys so that they could examine the knife. " Twin Tanaka blades," he took back the knife and handed them a blade. When they saw the blade their eyes glowed in awe. "A wooden recurve bow, and a lightweight sniper rifle, but that's only for special missions." he then took back the blade and handed them the bow. As they were finishing examining the weapons, Fane came up to him.
"Follow me, we need to get you ready for your first mission." Fane whispered into his ear.
" So guys I'll talk to you more later, I've got to go!" he said with a smile, Then he followed Fane out of the room. Fane led him to a set of rooms that know belong to the both of them. Lying on the bed in the smaller room, which Tony assumed was his laid Tony's new mission uniform, he now had three; dress, the uniform he would wear for missions and the uniform for every day. Fane helped Tony remove his weapons, and helped Tony put on his uniform for the first time. It was a bit more complicated than he was used to and consisted of a tight brown undersuit with thick pieces of leather sewn into the places where he would receive the most damage. An looser pair of grey pants that would be tucked into knee high soft soled leather boots. A form fitting light brown tunic, with a dark grey over tunic that's bottom had slits cut in to it to aid his graceful hand to hand combat movements. He then wore arm braces and a archers glove on his right hand. His final part of the uniform was a leather utility belt and a dark brown hooded robe, that could easily be discarded, in a fight. Fane then helped adorn him with his weapons. Then Fane led him to a room with a wide assortment of hawk feathers, which would act as his token. Tony choose a set of beautiful red teachers with light brown spots.
"Good choice." Fane said as he withdrew a quiver of arrows, that were adorned with feathers of the same color from a nearby table. "After each kill, you will leave one of these feathers behind. Now you are ready, now before you go on your first mission, I need to introduce you to some people I sometimes work with. Now follow me and do everything I say." Tony followed him and for the first time in 6 months he left the den behind him.
"Remind me why we're here again." Director Fury asked Agent Coulson.
"We're meeting with a representative of the assassin league Order of Dolofóni. We, meaning me and Agent Barton and Romanov, sometimes join forces with them when we get landed with the same targets." Coulson informed Fury.
"But why are we meeting in the middle of a field in God Knows Where, and not on the helicarrier?" Fury asked.
"Well these assassins take their cloak and daggerness pretty seriously, you should see the costumes they wear, But they're some of the best assassins we've ever seen."
A sudden snap of a twig made Fury jump, he would never admit to it of course, Agents Coulson, Barton and Romanov, knew it was the assassin singling his presence.
Then they all turned around to see two cloaked and masked figures emerge from the woods. The man in a Eagle mask and light grey clothing was walking proudly towards them, and an unknown figure in a hawk mask and a mixture of brown and grey clothing trailed about five feet behind him.
Agent Barton, otherwise known as Hawkeye, immediately recognized the older man's features and embraced him in a bro hug. "Long time no see, Eagle Fane! Know who's this with you?" Hawkeye greeted Fane. Fury was a little curious to the friendliness between the assassins.
"Remember how I told you I had a surprise for you? He's the surprise, hawkeye!" Fane said with a laugh. " I see that you've brought a friend." he said gesturing towards Fury.
"I'm Director Fury. I run S.H.I.E.L.D, Now who are you and Your friend, and why are you so buddy-buddy with my best Agent?" Fury demanded.
"I am Eagle Fane of the high council of the Order of Dolofóni. I've been working with Agent Coulson, Black Widow and Hawkeye for the past couple of years, due to us getting the same target so very often. And this is Hawk Samael, my new fledgling." he said gesturing to the boy who was practically hiding in plain sight. Samael went up to his master's side. "He just received his hawk mask tonight. Samael, you can remove your cloak, let them get a good look at you." Samael took off his cloak and the Agents inspected him. They could see that he was adorned with multiple weapons, the knives drew The Black Widow's attention, and when Hawkeye saw the bow that lay across Samael's back, his eyes grew wide.
"You can shoot?" he asked the boy.
"Yes, I am very efficient with shooting, both guns and bows. I've been also trained as sniper." Samael said in a strong voice.
"And you know the art of sword and knife fighting?" The Black Widow, asked intrigued.
" Yes, I'm quite fond of knife fighting, I'm also trained in ten forms of Martial arts." He replied.
"And how old are you?" Coulson asked the boy that had both of his agents intrigued.
" 14 and a half." he answered.
" он так молод. (he's so young)" Natasha muttered in Russian.
" Я зрелый для своего возраста. ( I'm mature for my age)" he replied back fluently.
"And you speak Russian?!" Natasha asked shocked.
" I'm also fluent in Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic, German, Mandarin and 5 other languages." he said.
"I say we test his skills. Shooting contest right here and now!" Hawkeye said eagerly. Samael looked to Fane for guidance, Fane have the look that meant 'go ahead' then burst out laughing.
"You don't know what you've gotten yourself into Hawkeye, I've never seen anyone shoot as naturally as him. On the day of his testing he managed to hit 5 bullseyes, with a long now, from all feet, and he never handled a bow before that day." Fane informed Hawkeye, whose mouth had dropped.
" Okay you see that tree directly ahead of us, about 300 feet away," Samael nodded, " well you that branch about to fall off," Samael nodded once more, " that's your target."
Samael eyed up the target took out his bow, notched an arrow and hit the target managing to make the branch fall to the ground, all in about 10 seconds.
"Святое дерьмо! он лучше, чем вы Клинт! (Holy shit! He's better than you Clint.)" Natasha yelled out in Russian.
"Shut up Natasha, it was a lucky shot!" Hawkeye said nervously.
"It's my turn! Let's see what you got little hawk!" Natasha said as she ran up to Samael, like a kid in a candy store.
"Samael, you might want to lose the knives." Fane warned with a laugh, "he's quite deadly with them." Samael nodded, and withdrew the dozen knives he had hidden all over his body, along with the two Tanaka blades. The group of shield agents watched with awe as he withdrew knife after knife, Fane was laughing up a storm, and Fury was watching with morbid curiosity.
The Black Widow then withdrew her own weapons and met Samael in the middle of the field. Coulson agreed to be the mediator for the match. Samael and Natasha then paced each other waiting for one of them to make the first move. Samael was confident in his abilities and having never heard of the notorious Black Widow before, made the first move. Then the fight was on. The two fighters became a furious tornado of black and grey. The fight lasted for half an hour before Samael managed to land Natasha on her back, pinning her to the ground.
Agent Coulson realised that a 14 year old boy, who possessed the skills of both the Black Widow and Hawkeye, two of the best assassins in the world, and that boy had managed to beat both of them.
"Samael, I know the people of the Order of Dolofóni take on names with special meanings, what does your name mean?" Coulson asked the boy, who wasn't even out of breath from his fight.
"Samael is the Hebrew Angel of Death." he said as 4 sets of jaws simultaneously dropped.
"Where did you guys even find him?" Fury asked Fane.
"A little more than a year ago, one of our agents were ordered to hit him, but when he showed up to take him out, Samael here took out a knife and fought him, with absolutely no fear, well Samael had barely known how to handle a knife at the time, and was knocked out by our agent and brought back to our den. And he's been with us from that day on. He's actually one of the youngest hawks we've ever had, and he is promised to be one of the best assassins our Order had ever spawned. And now he's my fledgling." Fane told the group.
"Can we keep him?" Natasha said eagerly. Fane laughed.
"Well Samael, if you ever wish to leave your order, you will have a place with us." Coulson stated.
"Well, it's been fun, but right now he has to complete his first mission. Oh wait before I leave I have to give this to you. It's his token." Fane took one of Samaels feathers and handed it to Fury, while Samael put his weapons back on. Then assassin and fledgling left as suddenly a they arrived.
"Coulson, I want you to start a file on this Samael. He's too talented not too watch. And next time you team of assassins, tell me right away! Now get me out of this goddamned field!" Fury stated, well, furiously.
I hope you all enjoyed Tony showing both Hawkeye and Black Widow who's boss in the last scene, so what did you think of this Chapter? Please tell me in the review section!
