Hey, guys. Back with another chapter.

I'm glad to getting near the end of the canon that I'll be following. After the team gets Walker, the events of Episode 14 will be the last canon events I plan on following. Well, until the finale.

Let's get to it.


Chapter 10- Bratva

"Thanks for coming with me," Bucky says as he and Laurel head towards the warehouse Anatoli specified.

"Yeah. And I guess for not telling the others too, I reckon," Laurel says. Bucky gives just a single nod.

"We got lucky. Anatoli could've given us something really bad to do. This ain't too bad," Bucky says as he and Laurel slip on their masks. Bucky walks right up to the guy patrolling and knocks him out with a single punch. He and Laurel then march inside.

Two men try and fire their guns at the pair, but Bucky and Laurel quickly disarm them and knock them out before Bucky grabs their target and throws him through the big window and out onto the loading dock they just came from.

Bucky and Laurel walk outside, and Bucky grabs the guy's arm. "Анатолий Князев говорит, что у вас есть два дня, чтобы закрыть свой бизнес. И два сломанных пальца, чтобы напомнить вам.(Anatoli Knyazev says you have two days to shut your business down. And two broken fingers to remind you)," Bucky says in Russian before breaking two of the guy's fingers anjd walking away with Laurel.

As the two hop into the van, Laurel looks at Bucky and says, "You've done this before. And not as a vigilante in Star City."

"I've done far worse," Bucky says simply, his tone a clue to Laurel that he doesn't want to talk about it.

"Do you think it was a good idea leaving John there unsupervised?" Laurel asks.

"It's fine. Rory's keeping an eye on Walker's man, and I told him to stop Diggle from doing anything stupid," Bucky says as he starts the van and drives off, memories of his past in Russia still bothering him.

Laurel looks at Bucky, feeling very concerned about him. She has heard a bit about Prometheus, and his goals regarding Oliver. She's worried about him trying to do the same thing to Bucky, and honestly feels that for Bucky, it would be worse.


(Safe house)

Bucky and Laurel walk into the room where Felicity is typing away at her computer. "Where did you two go?" she asks.

"Doesn't matter right now. Where's John?" Bucky asks.

"Three guesses where," Felicity says a little sarcastically. It only takes Bucky a second to figure it out, and he sighs when he does. Without another word, he walks out and heads to the shed.

A few moments later, he and Laurel walk into the shed. Rory is standing there in his rags, with some of them holding Diggle up by his ankle. Diggle looks furious, and Rory is standing with his arms folded, looking at Diggle with disapproval.

Diggle looks over at Bucky and Laurel as they walk in, sighs in frustration, and asks, "Now that you're here, can you convince him to let me down?"

Bucky walks over so he's standing between John and Walker's man, then says, "Alright, Rory. You can let him down." Rory quickly puts Diggle down.

As soon as Diggle is down, he springs back to his feet and looks angrily at Bucky. "What are you playing at?" he demands.

"I knew you were gonna try something like this Diggle. I also know that Walker got in your head, and you are letting your emotions cloud your judgement. We are not gonna get anywhere with this attitude," Bucky says firmly.

Diggle glares at him. Bucky stares back at him sternly before saying, "Come on. I need to have a discussion with you. Now." He then forcefully leads Diggle out of the shed and into the safe house.

Once in the house, Diggle bursts out and says, "What are thinking, Bucky?! You're not taking this seriously! You thought waiting would get us anything?! It just gives Walker more time to get away!"

"You are letting your emotions rule your judgement. Beating the crap out of that guy the way you wanted to would just make any information he gave less reliable. And for your information, we're gonna have the location on Walker soon enough. I managed to get the Bratva to help. And taking the road of brutal and mindless torture just takes you down a very dark path. It's a path I crossed a long time ago, but it's not too late for you. From what I've gleaned from discussions with Felicity and Thea, you were always the calm one, trying to persuade Oliver to be better than your enemies. Don't let yourself become a hypocrite. You start down this path, you're not much better than Walker," Bucky says, a little harshly.

Diggle glares at Bucky. After a few tense moments, he sighs in frustration before walking away. Bucky then heads towards the shed, determined to get the information he needs. But hopefully with as little torture as possible.


(20 minutes later)

Bucky walks into the safe house, only a hint of blood on his hands. Joh, Felicity, and Laurel are waiting for him.

"Did you torture that guy?" asks Felicity. Bucky can't quite read her tone.

"Hardly. My threats were pretty effective. A few final touches, and he broke. I've got a location on where the buy is happening, and the Bratva are on their way here," Bucky says.

"So, you wouldn't let John torture him, but it was okay for you?" Felicity asks.

"I hardly tortured him at all, and only left a single scar. Well, that and a broken nose. John waited to beat him bloody. There's a difference between doing what I did and taking out your anger on somebody in the hopes you get some information. John, your emotions are taking you over too much. I was taken over by HYDRA and Zemo, and I did not get as desperate for justice as you are right now. I know you want revenge and justice, but you have to keep your head," Bucky says.

Diggle just looks at Bucky for a moment before he sighs, knowing Bucky has a point.

Suddenly, Rory comes hurrying in. "Hey, guys. Some angry Russian guys just showed up," he says.

Bucky walks outside, John, Felicity and Laurel following him. Sure enough, Anatoli is there, with half a dozen men along with him.

"Anatoli. Thank you for coming," Bucky says. He then points around at the men with him and asks, "Who are these guys?"

"Six friends who are willing to ignore Bratva ties to follow me. Well, and one friend who is not Bratva," Anatoli says. As he says this, the men behind him part, revealing one more guy they hadn't seen.

Bucky looks at this man curiously. He looks older. At least in his 70s, yet in very good shape. He's wearing brown pants, some kind of jacket with a fur lining and an animal face design on the front, and a tattoo on his exposed chest. A rifle is on his back, and a pistol at his waist. He's also holding a spear and a large fighting knife.

"Who's this?" Bucky asks.

"He is old friend. Name is Sergei Kravinoff," Anatoli says.

The newly introduced Sergei smiles and says in a deep voice, "But you can call me Kraven."


I'll end it there. I hope you liked this chapter. I decided to go ahead and stop Diggle from going psycho on the guy.

Alright. It is official. Kraven the Hunter had joined the MACU. I don't really plan to go into his backstory, but it'll be fairly similar to his story from the comics, except his determination to hunt and kill Spider Man. I'm not sure though if he'll make another appearance after this story. At least, anytime soon. He may show up as a member of the Suicide Squad at some point, as requested by one of my readers, but that is still under debate. He'll make at least one more appearance before the MACU ends, but it won't be for a while. As for who I envision playing Kraven, I have chosen Sean Connery. I know he's old, and retired by now, but I think he's a good choice.

Alright. I promise next chapter will end with the capture of Walker. For now, please review, and stay tuned.
