Kilgrave!

" Another number I don't recognize, guess business is starting to boom!" I spoke as I looked down at the unknown number calling my phone. I picked the phone up off the table and accepted the call. " No details. You already know my rate and that I do not negotiate. I will meet you at a time and place of my choosing." I state to the caller on the other end.

" You don't know me; how will you know where to meet me?" The voice of a man asked. His dulcet tone making me slightly angry. He sounds like an entitled rich dick. Guess I can always rob him if I need to, I thought. " I already know enough. No questions you should know that. If you are smart, you'll stop questioning me real fast. Do not call this number again. Delete any trace of it from your record. If you don't and trust me, I'll know I will kill you." I stated to the man on the other end of the phone before hanging up. " Alright, it was about time for another paycheck." I said as I jumped up off the ground. Sweat dripping down my body from my ab work out. I walk over to my bookshelf and grab a number form one of the books. I dial the number up and after a few seconds a voice on the other end asks me a question. " Who knocks at the garden gate?" The man asked. " One who has eaten its fruit and tasted its mysteries." I respond to the man. " I see. How can I help you today?" The man asked after verifying my identity.

" I got a call today. I'm sending you the Number now get me his details." I said to the man on the other end. " Alright let's see here. His name is Zebediah Kilgrave! You've managed to net a big fish this time. He certainly has the money. His lives in San Fransico, California." The man replied. " I see the purple man. Shouldn't be too hard to find a guy like that." I stated simply. " Is there anything else I can help you with?" The man asked. " No, I got it from here." I spoke. " Well, then until next time weasel out." Weasel responded before hanging up the phone.

I placed the phone down and began packing my bags. I put my suit in a bag and placed my two pistols into holsters in the suit. I grabbed my swords and placed them neatly in a bag along with other essentials, multiple mags for my guns for example. " This is going to be fun! Haven't been to California in a while. This better be worth it." I said as I walked out the door of my apartment. I walked around the corner making sure no one was following me, and I took off towards the airfield.

' It might seem a little paranoid, but it's better to be safe than sorry I guess.' I thought to myself as I ran through the streets of Pennsylvania.

A day later

I Landed my single engine plane in a hidden bunker I used the last time I came to California, thankfully it wasn't too far from San Fransico. " With my speed I should be able to make it too San Fran in thirty minutes if I run." Saying that I took off with my luggage running as fast as I could towards San Francisco. Arriving after the aforementioned thirty minutes I began touring the city looking for the purple man searching from up high on the roofs of buildings. I soon spotted my client and potential target leaving the strip club. " All right Kilgrave let's see what your life is like." I said as I trailed the man through the city, eventually we made a stop at his home. I watched as he entered his home followed by his bodyguards and decided now was the time to introduce myself.

Once I was aware of where the client lived, I suited up. I jump in the air and land softly on his roof. I take a deep breath and use my echolocation to make out how many people there was in the building. " Okay, three men counting the client. Too easy" I said as I grabbed Casull from its holster. " Let's make a flashy entrance girl." I said to Casull as I jumped through the skylight.

" Who the Fuck!" Kilgrave yelled out as I broke into his house. His guards rushed to defend him, but I already had my gun planted to his skull. " You better tell them to put them down now." I said calmly into kilgrave's ear. His guards looked at him nervously for a second looking for confirmation on what to do. " You heard him boys drop the weapons." Kilgrave said giving his guards confirmation to drop their weapons.

" There my guards are disarmed Happy?" Kilgrave asked. I Chuckled in his ear making a shiver go up his spine. " Why yes I am. Now, then down to business. My name is Deathstroke. You contacted me because you heard I am the best. You want a job done and my work does not come cheap. the price is non-negotiable. Thankfully for you I don't charge for travel expenses. Now then I need details. As many as you can give me." I said to the man explaining my terms for business.

" How do I know you won't kill me afterwards?" Kilgrave asked. " I guess you don't know, but you be assured, if I wanted you dead. you most certainly would be." I said as I pushed the barrel of my gun harder against his head.

" What do you say we take a seat? I've been running for a long time, and I think my feet hurt a little." I joked. We both moved to different couches and took a seat. I saw one of his guards reaching down for his gun out the corner of my eye. I raised Casull and fired hitting the man in his leg. " Be a good boy or the next one goes in your head." I joked as the man wailed in pain on the floor. " You know, I think your chair looks more comfortable than mine." I said as I turned back to Kilgrave. " SIT BACK DOWN!" I yelled to Kilgrave as he began to get out of his seat. " I don't remember telling you to get up." I stated bluntly.

" Look are you here to do a job or to kill me?" Kilgrave asked foolishly. I couldn't help but Laugh at his question.

" I wouldn't bother killing you here. If I did so I'd have to work on erasing the camera footage. It's been a long day and I don't feel like doing that right now, so for now you're safe." I stated when in actuality I had already cut the feed in the house before entering. Now then on to more pressing business." I stated.

" The targets name is Samuel reed, a former "business" partner of mine. He worked for me until about a year ago. He wanted took a loan from me to open a restaurant. It's called the Benu. Here's a picture of him for reference. When he took the money, he promised to make me a partner, so I didn't mind taking the risk, but recently he told me he wouldn't be upholding his end of the deal and well now I can't have that can I?" Kilgrave asked. " So, that's why I called you. SO do we have a deal?" Kilgrave asked as he extended his hand for me to shake.

" I will investigate the target first then I will tell you if I am accepting your contract. Then and only then will we have a deal." I said as I pushed a button on my wrist making his lights turnout. When they turned back on, I was gone.

Three days later.

I set up shop in town getting myself an apartment to use as cover. I began staking out Benu's on the search for Sam. I watched as the man from the picture exited the restaurant around closing time he was accompanied by his wife and a group of bodyguards. " Hm, guess good old kilgrave spooked the poor man worse than I thought." I said as I watched for which vehicle, they would head to. When they arrived, I pulled out a GPS tracker with a bug on it that would allow me to listen in on their conversations and threw it precisely onto the roof of the red Toyota Rav4.

I listened in on the group as they all entered the vehicle.

" Sammy, do we really need these guys." Sam's wife asked as she pointed to the group of men in the back.

" Do you like the life we live?" Sam asked her in return the venom in his voice was apparent. I can see they don't have the best of relationships.

" Of course, but" Sam's wife was saying before Sam cut her off.

" But nothing. I do all this for you. SO just shut the fuck up and look pretty you stupid bitch." Sam yelled at his wife making her cry to herself in the car.

" Oh, Sammy that's strike one buddy, keep that up and I'm afraid I'll have to put a bullet in your head my little friend." I said as I listened in on the conversation. Soon, the car pulled out of the parking lot and began to head downtown. I followed it from the rooftop. " Hm, not getting much use of the GPS seeing as the dick doesn't talk to his wife." I said aggravatedly. I followed the two until I reached their home. I waited for them to go into the house and cleared the GPS Tracker off of the car. I moved to the nearby tree and began observing the couple. I watched as Sam and his wife got into a fight in the kitchen. " Don't do it Sammy." I said as I watched the two argue. Sam slapped his wife with enough force to knock her to the ground. " And that's strikes two to three my friend." I said as I leapt off of the tree.

I began making my way over to kilgrave's house again. When I arrived, I put my hand on the man's should causing him to jump up from his sleep.

" How did you get in here?!" Kilgrave asked shocked. His expression making laugh on the inside.

" Doesn't matter. You'll be glad to know I've accepted your contract. It will be done in a few days so prepare the money now. The next time I enter this house you better have it, or you're dead." I said coldly as I placed Jackal into the man's face. He looked at me scared for a few seconds before nodding his head in agreement. " Turn around." I ordered. I watched as he turned around in his bed, I then activated my time skip and left.

The next day.

I returned to the Reed residence and watched as Sam's wife left the house in a beautiful yellow sundress. " All that yellow really brings out the blue in her eyes. For shame sammy neglecting such a beautiful woman." I said as I watched her walk to her car. Her dress accentuated her curvaceous body. " Man, sammy you really fucked up!" I said as I dropped from the tree and began following the woman through the city making sure to take notes of everything she did during the day. After a while I followed her back to her house. " Seems like today is her day off from being that fucks wife." I stated. ' I have an Idea, but a change of dresswear is required.' I thought as I moved back towards the city. I looked around for a proper clothing store and began shopping for nice suit.

" Excuse me miss." I called out to the store worker. She turned and her eyes widened upon seeing my face. ' Damn did I choose right when I model myself after tengen.' I thought as I smiled at the woman.

" How can I help you sir?" She asked nervously trying her best to avoid eye contact.

" Well ma'am I was in the need of a new suit. I happen to be going to a social event tonight and I wanted to pick something nice out. I was wondering if you could help me find something that would match my appearance." I said as I stared into the woman's eyes.

" Well sir! With your amazing build and beautiful eyes. I think this would be perfect for you." She said as she handed me a purple dress shirt with a black blazer and black pants. She then ran over to socks and shoes section and came back with a pair of fuchsia-colored socks and black Calvin Klein dress shoes. " Here you go sir!" She said as she handed over the clothes to me. ' I gotta admit the girl's got style.' I thought as we walked over to the cash register.

After dropping more money than I would have liked to spend I headed back towards the reed residence. Where I waited for Ms. reed to head out for the night. After a few hours I watched as Ms. Reed emerged from her home wearing a beautiful red Oscar de la Renta dress. " Oh damn! Woman's got style!" I said as I admired the woman's body. Ms. Reed got in her car and drove out into the city stopping at a nightclub. " Alright! Time to get changed." I said as I landed on the roof of the building. I quickly changed into the suit I bought earlier and tucked my two pistols away into the coat jacket and entered the establishment through the roof. I maneuvered into the men's bathroom from the roof and made my way into the main hall of the club. I looked around until I spotted my target across the bar.

" Well, now what is a beautiful lady like you doing alone on this beautiful night like this?" I asked as I took a seat next to Ms. Reed. She looked at me nervously and hesitated for a second before smiling at me and responding.

" Well, I've been rather busy lately and I felt like I needed some time to myself." She replied

" Is that right?" I asked. She looked at me and nodded. " Well, you don't mind if I buy you a drink at least, right?" I ask

" Hmm I don't know. I did just meet you and I don't even know you're name yet." She replied coyly.

" Well, then allow me to introduce myself. My name is alexander Anderson, and it is a pleasure to meet you my dear." I said as I smiled and kissed her hand. I can feel her jerk her a hand a little bit, but she soon relaxed into it.

" My name is sarah. Sara Reed and the pleasure is all mine." She stated as she turned her body fully towards me. I look at her for a second and move my hand towards her face.

" What happened here?" I asked as I gently rubbed my hand across her cheek. I watched her flinch as my hand moved back and forth. ' So, he's been doing that for a while then.' I thought to myself as I remembered how hard he had hit her the previous night.

" I fell down the stairs on my way home earlier. I've always been so clumsy." She stated trying her best to avoid the subject.

" Stairs? No way, You would have much more than a small bruise on your cheek. Someone hit you. A husband maybe?" I asked trying to coerce the information out of her.

" Is it that obvious?" She asked and I shook my head in response. " He's been getting more aggressive lately. He doesn't make love to me anymore; he treats me as nothing more than eye candy. A thing to be jealous of." She explained, I could see the tear in her eyes beginning to form.

" It's going to be okay. You won't have to worry about him anymore." I say to the woman as I wipe her tears away. " What do you say we continue this conversation somewhere more private?" I asked. She looked at me wide eyed for a moment before nodding her head yes. " Okay let's go." I said as I led her outside to her car. We drove to the nearest hotel and got us a room for the night. I'm not heartless I made sure to take my time with her and I was there when she woke up. " What's wrong?" I asked as she stared at me.

" Sorry, I just thought you would have skipped out on me after you scored." She replied.

" I'm not heartless. I can't give you the love you deserve, but I can help you see what it is you need to do to be happy." I stated to the woman making her seem kind of sad.

" And what is that?" She asked as she crawled up into bed.

" Leave your husband. If he's a s bad as I think he is, he's only going to get worse and worse. I don't want to see you on the news as a victim. Sarah, do what's right leave him find happiness, start a real family. And stay safe." I said to the woman as I kissed her forehead. I walk out of the room leaving woman in thought. 'Today Mr. Reed Is going to be finding himself a little less alive.' I thought as I left the hotel.

A few hours later.

I waited at the restaurant for an hour until Mr. Reed showed up. I wasted no time in doing what I came to do. " Shouldn't have hit the woman buddy." I said as I lined up a shot with jackal. I pulled the trigger and watched as his head exploded. " Mission clear!" I holstered my pistol and immediately began making my way back to Kilgrave's house. I see him sitting at his table eating breakfast and I enter the house.

" Kilgrave! Do you have my money?" I ask suddenly making him nearly jump out of his seat. ' He's scared he should be. He nods his head and gestures towards the suitcase sitting on the counter. I began walking towards it and suddenly I pick up ten guards waiting in another room. ' Oh, that's adorable! He's trying to cross me.' I thought as I counted the money in the briefcase. " Alright four million all here. Good job Zebediah you get to live." I said as I picked up the briefcase.

" Hahahaha! You know when you first arrived you really scared the hell out of me. But I didn't think you'd walk into my trap so easily. BOYS!" Kilgrave called out as he snapped his fingers. I suddenly dropped the briefcase and pulled out my swords. The moment the guards entered the room they open fire.

" Let's play." I said to the group of men as I dodge their gun fire. " Sound Breathing fourth form resounding slashes." I began spinning my blades around my body rapidly cutting the bullets into pieces before they can hit my body. I continue this action until I hear a clicking sound from all of the guard's guns. " Hm all out of ammo boys? This is going to hurt." I said to the men as I rushed them with my blades. I cleave the first guy in half completely from head to toe, his blood splattered all over his comrades making them go into a panic. " Sound breathing second form cross slash!" I bring my swords in close and spin them in a circle I then cut another one of the guards in half launching his mid-section upwards.

" What kind of monster is he?" I hear one of the guards ask in terror.

" The kind who doesn't like being stiffed. This is getting boring, so I think I'll just kill you all now." I activate my Time Skip and I slice the heads off of each and every remaining guard. I then deactivate it as I watch the heads fall from their bodies.

' I fucked up! Gotta get out here.' Kilgrave thought as he turned to leave the room.

" Aww leaving so soon? And without a goodbye." I said as I appeared right in front of him. He looked at me in shock for a few moments before I kicked him in the chest launching him into a wall across the room.

" Please, Look just hear me out ok. I didn't mean it I swear. It was an accident. I'll double what I paid you, no triple it just don't kill me." Kilgrave pleaded for his life.

" You know what I remember you now. You're the guy who assaulted Jessica jones for months right. Yeah, I gotta a no forgiveness policy on rapists." I said to the man as I raised my pistol to his head.

" Nooo!" Bang! I blew his fucking head right off of his shoulders.

" That was for Jessica you son of a bitch!" I said as I watched his body drop lifelessly. I grabbed my money and made to leave the building, but before I did, I hacked into one of Kilgrave's computers to see if I could find any other potential targets. " A faction kidnapping mutants. Can't let that go o. Guess I get to go play hero again. it has been so long since I was the good guy." I said as I pulled the location of the base from the computer and downloaded it onto a thumb drive. Having collected everything, I needed I left the house and returned to my old bunker ready to depart. " Hard to believe I've been here for a whole year, and I haven't had a run in with the X-men yet. Guess it helps to know how to properly cover your tracks. Hahahahaha!" I laughed as I took off in my plane.
