NOVEL NEXT Goodbye Inessa
**Big Thanks to Charlie Puente-Duany**
Batman and Inessa stood back to back as they were slowly surrounded by the widows.
"Inessa go after Dreykov" Batman ordered, "what? what about you?" Inessa questioned. "Don't worry about me, now go" Inessa hesitated for a moment before running through a gal to chase after Dreykov.
The widows close to her tried to stop her but a grappling hook wrapped around one's throat and pulled her back, while Batman flew forward and delivered a knee to the back of her head knocking her out.
Batman calmly turned around to face the other widows who were now fully charging at him.
Batman quickly grabbed a Bo staff that was aimed at his head and flung the widow who was holding into a wall.
He spun the staff around as he blocked countless attacks that came at him. With the Bo staff, Batman delivered sharp counterstrikes before sweeping a widow of her feet.
With that Batman jumped straight into their midst breaking the staff into two and continued to takeout the widows who dared got too close to him.
With a sharp kick, Batman caused a widow to keel over before Batman rolled over her and delivered a Spartan kick to a widow and sent her into three other widows.
Batman fired the pieces in his arm to two other widows before pulling out a smoke bomb, covering the entire office in smoke.
*bang* bang* strikes could be heard alongside the grunts and screams of pain. In another minute the smoke cleared as Yelena barged in and stood stunned as she watched the scene before her.
"what the..." before her was Batman who stood over the countless widows who remained on the ground groaning in pain. "The cure?" Batman's voice brought her out of her stunned state, "Right here" Yelena responded before throwing down three vials which released a gas.
After inhaling the gas the widows finally regained their senses, seeing this Batman went down and helped a widow back to her feet, "you and the others have to get out of here this entire place is going down".
The girl nodded her head and helped the others up, but before the left Yelena handed the vials over to them keeping only two to herself.
The girl nodded before rushing out, Yelena and Batman shared a look before attempting to follow after Dreykov and Inessa. When the door opened though they both came to a halt as before them was Taskmaster.
"You again, really!" Yelena exclaimed before they engaged in battle.
At another place in the facility Melina was reunited with Alexei as she run into a hallway just in time to see Alexei knock someone out with a headbutt.
"you sure took your time" Melina spoke up as she got closer to him looking at the hallway filled with the bodies of guards.
"There were more...guards...than I thought" Alexei spoke in-between pants. "All right super soldier, let's go get a ship" Melina spoke up before the continued their journey to claim an escape ship for themselves.
*bang* bang* gunshots were head as the guards protecting Dreykov fired at Inessa who took advantage of the walls to avoid their shots and jump them, sending her daggers into their throats.
In a few more moments there was but Inessa and Dreykov left standing in the hallway. Dreykov looked at Inessa with an annoyed look in his eye, "what part of you can't lay a finger on me don't you understand!"
Dreykov exclaimed as Inessa continued to walk towards him with slow but steady steps. Inessa was soon mere inches away from Dreykov who opened his mouth to continuing speaking but came to a halt as a sharp pain was felt in his jaw, before his world began tilting followed by a thud which was caused by him falling.
Dreykov looked at his bloodied tooth which was punched out of his mouth while holding his jaw, before turning to Inessa with a look that clearly said 'how the hell?'
Inessa motioned to devices which were in her nostrils, "I can't smell your pheromones anymore Dreykov". With that said Inessa pulled out a baton and wanted to beat him up but she froze as a loud bang was heard.
looking down Inessa saw a bloody hole in her abdomen. "I always have a backup plan" Dreykov spoke as he made it back to his feet and looked down on Inessa who had fallen down with a hand on her wound.
"goodbye Inessa" Dreykov's left behind those words as he turned to walk away.
