Chapter Three
AN: Happy Easter/April Fools! Also, been posting little meme/vine mini fic things on my Tumblr ( tallpoppy-canada) and posting a bunch of aph Canada related things!
Matthew got the notification for the tracker and thanked Shayne before hanging up. He started to follow the tracker and it led him to a bar midtown. Blackbird stepped inside and used his nose to pick out the ghoul. It wasn't too hard since there was only one other ghoul in the bar.
The ghoul looked up as soon as Canada entered and glared at him. He stood up from his place at the bar and narrowed his eyes before turning on his heal and heading out the back door. Matthew followed expecting an ambush from the ghoul as soon as he opened the door, but there wasn't one. The Californian ghoul leaned against the opposite alley wall as Blackbird closed the door behind himself.
"I'm assuming that you're the Red-Winged Blackbird I've heard so much about?" The ghoul smirked looking up, eyes black and red. Matthew didn't say anything, but just watched closely. "They said you were pretty quiet too. Anyways, I'm Enzo Louda or better known as Huntsman Spider."
Canada raised an eyebrow. He had heard a little bit about the Huntsman. Enzo was a rinkaku ghoul known to hunt down rivals in California. There was no doubt that this guy wasn't just going to leave.
"You're the one I've been waiting to fight. I've been looking for you for quite a while. I had to get your attention first though, that was annoying." Enzo grumbled. "In hindsight, I should have just sent you a contract, but I know you're picky."
"And I check all the sources of the contracts sent my way. I would know that something was up." Canada said tilting his head; this ghoul loved to talk. "Are we going to stand around all day or are we going to fight?"
"Very quick to the point." Huntsman said. Matthew could see his kagune starting to materialize behind his back. "Not my style, but okay."
Canada jumped out of the way of the Huntsman's first strike. His eight spider like leg tentacles shot after the blond. Blackbird jumped up into the air to avoid the attack and released his own kagune. He used his crystallized wings to fire shards at his enemy. Enzo crossed his kagune above his head to block the crystals. He managed to stop some of them, but others lodged into his feet and legs. Huntsman growled and quickly yanked the spikes out keeping an eye on the Blackbird.
Matthew landed back on the ground and brought his wings in front of himself to block another swipe from the Huntsman. He pushed back with a growl and readied to hop back up into the air. Suddenly one of the legs shot out and wrapped around Canada's ankle. Enzo lifted him up into the air and slammed him back down on to the ground.
The Canadian hissed feeling a few ribs crack, but pushed through the pain knowing they would heal quickly. He felt the Huntsman start to pull him back into the air again. Matthew twisted while in the air and used his wing to cut his leg free. Enzo was recovering from the missing leg as Canada came down quickly slashing with his kagune. He took a fast downward strike at the base of the Huntsman kagune. Blackbird managed to slice through five of the spider like legs before quickly hopping away.
The Huntsman howled in pain and almost fell backwards because of the force. Matthew decided to go for a low blow and shot crystals at Enzo's feet. He directed the shards more towards the Achilles tendon. His aim was dead on; both of the tendons were severed. The Huntsman collapsed backwards no longer able to stand the pain. He rolled onto his chest and tried to push himself up, but collapsed back on to the ground.
Blackbird stalked around into Enzo's field of vision. The Huntsman swiped at him again with his remaining kagune, but Matthew easily blocked the weak blows and shot a few shards from his wings into the Huntsman's back into his spine to keep him on the ground. There was no way for him to recover quickly.
"Good one." Enzo groaned looking up at Canada. Blackbird only raised an eyebrow at the comment. "I heard that you were efficient."
Matthew didn't bother to let the ghoul keep talking. Instead, he shot a spike of crystal through the Huntsman's neck; effectively silencing him for good. Blackbird's kagune disappeared as he dropped one of his cards by Enzo's body. It had started to snow and by the time someone would find the body it would be covered.
The Canadian never showed mercy to ghouls that came into his country and killed his citizens. He used to give warnings many years ago, but now because of the Red-Winged Blackbird's reputation around the world, he didn't bother. He left his card as a warning to other ghouls that he was still around and still protecting the citizens of Canada.
-❄"Pitter patter."❄-
Matthew locked the door behind him as he entered through the front of the house. He had taken a taxi home and was ready for bed. He yawned and took his jacket off before walking into the living room. Prussia was sprawled out on the couch with the TV on playing something from YouTube, but the albino was fast asleep.
Canada smiled tiredly; Gilbert looked adorable all cuddled up on the couch. He almost didn't want to wake the sleeping Prussian, but he knew that Gilbert would complain about his back in the morning. The blond quietly walked over and crouched beside Prussia before lightly brushing some hair out of his face.
Gilbert blinked awake. "Birdie." He said reaching for Canada. He wrapped his arms around Matthews's neck and gave him a sleepy kiss. The Canadian slowly lifted him up off the couch bridal style and started to carry the albino to bed. He set Gilbert down on the bed and went to get into his pyjamas, but Prussia wrapped his arms around Canada's waist and pulled him back into bed with a yelp. He was happy that his ribs had already healed. "Stay." Prussia said holding on tightly.
"I was just going to get undressed." Matthew said quietly.
"I can do that for jou." Prussia purred. He clearly wasn't half asleep anymore. The albino was on top of him with his fingers in Matthew's belt loops.
"Hmmm, okay." Canada hummed wrapping his arms around the back of Gilbert's neck and brought him down for a kiss.
AN: Sorry, not gonna write smut. Not really my thing. Really need to watch when posting this and 'Dawn of a New Age' on the same night. So paranoid that I'll get the chapters mixed up.
