With sweat dripping from his face and getting swept away by the winds he asked. "Is Fox really your name or just a codename?"
Fox just smiled at the question. "You can call me whatever you want." She just left him with that as he lay down and looked at the sky, His truly, finally, a bonafide assassin now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking in the office of Sloan, Wesley just stood waiting, to see what Sloan would do.
Same as the movie, he merely looks at Wesley "You're not ready." As he said so, he gave a sheet of paper for his next target.
'Well, nothing changed.' Wesley thinks to himself.
Before proceeding with his mission, he made sure he was fully equipped, grabbing a throwing knife as well as a grenade.
....
On his way, he was briefed by Fox on all he needed to know about his target.
As they drive closer to their target, Wesley takes the lead while Fox follows behind.
'It's the same car as in the movie, and should be bulletproof as well. With the smoke I can see coming from the rooftop, the sunroof should be open too. Now then, what's the most badass assassination style I should use to kill him? Doing the same as in the movie would be too risky, and I sure as heck won't damage my chevy.'
An idea came into his head, remembering a certain red eyed killer.
"Hey Cortana, help me project a pathway to throw my knife and shoot a bullet on so it ricochets perfectly."
"... 😒" Cortana just sent a smug emoji to Wesley .
"Really now? Of all time? What's the matter?" Wesley just can't help but feel frustrated by the sudden attitude of Cortana, like is she really an AI? She seems more like a real woman, as mysterious and unexpected as a real one.
"I don't like how you're always using me and just ordering me around, it won't hurt to say please you know?😔"
Wesley was just confused and wordless, but he just sigh. "Please help me calculate where to throw and fire my bullet to kill the guy?" Wesley relented to Cortana and just said things in a nice way like asking for a favour just so he could finish the job before the target became suspicious.
Right away, Cortana made a layout of where the knife should be thrown and how hard and the timing of the bullet fire.
Wesley rolled the window down as he drove close to the target on their right. Taking out the knife, he threw it on an arc going above the targets car as he retrieved his pistol, and with the timing of Cortana, shot at the knife which caused the bullet to ricochet down the open sunroof and directly on top of the targets head, killing him.
With only the sound of a gun and a ping of a blade being hit and falling on the ground, as well as cars just driving by, nobody really noticed an assassination going on, even the driver of the target was only momentarily distracted but ignored it all as it continued to drive away.
"Now that's a hitman level assassination. My ninja way."
"Cringe" Cortana commented on Wesley's self dialogue in which he only twitched his eyes in annoyance.
Making his way back to Sloan, upon entering the room, he could see him waiting for him, seeming to have already been informed by Fox of his deeds.
"Quite an impressive trick, and clean assassination too, you're ready." Sloan nods his head at his accomplishment as Wesley just gave a smile.
"Now follow me" Sloan led Wesley away and into a room.
"This was your father's room, everything in here once belonged to him, it's all yours now, so do as you please with it before confronting Cross." Sloan then left Wesley alone to remunerate himself before his confrontation.
Looking around the room, he sees a picture, in it he could see the face of Sloan, his supposed father, and his actual father.
Looking at the picture of Cross, he can't help but feel a bit of disgust to the man, to leave his son cuckolded by his girl, suffering from his gift that felt more like a curse to the ignorant, and worst of all, being such a stalker of a father living next door looking through my bedroom.
Putting the photo down, he scoured the room and found nothing of use, just an extra clip for the Beretta 92 series pistol and the 9mm bullets.
Making his way down, he met with Fox. Looking her straight in the eye, "Let's go." Fox just smirks as she follows.
Wesley and Fox made their way to his old home, knocking on the door. The one who answered was Barry, "Hey dude, where have you been?" Wesley just looks at him and says in a commanding tone "Open the Door", Barry, intimidated, unlatches the door and opens it.
As Agent Walkthrough, Barry moves to the side just stunned from his ex-friends sudden change.
"Barry? Who's at the door?" Casey comes out of the kitchen and sees Wesley, She starts ranting about where he's gone, what he's been doing and all sorts of stuff as Wesley made his way to the bathroom to retrieve his gun.
Securing his gun and making sure it wasn't wet or damaged, Anny came and rubbed her head on his legs.
This brought a smile to his face as he petted the poor cat.
Going out of the bathroom with Anny following behind him, Casey kept on going with a barrage of complaints, Fox just outside the door thought of something mischievous, making her way to Wesley, she clasped her hands on his collar she pulled him in for a kiss.
"Wesley! Who is she? Your new bitch? Did you hire her to make fun of me!?" As Casey rants on, Wesley slowly pulls away from the kiss as he gaved a hard stare to Casey, raising hands, he gaved a hard slap with enough force to knock her unconscious, Barry seeing this forgot everything and walks up to Wesley to teach him not to hurt a woman, specially her woman.
Wesley simply went on an Adrenaline rush as he dodge a fist coming his way as he delivers his own punch directly on the side of his jaw, scrambling his brains that knocked Barry to the floor.
Taking out a bundle of cash, "Keep the house, as well as my leftover, I'm taking Anny." Wesley grabbed necessities to take care of Anny as he made his way out, with Fox and Anny following behind meowing.
"Fox, I need you to get us an unregistered car. My car is registered and I don't want to mess it up so I will take Anny and my car somewhere safe first." Fox didn't question anything as she told him to take care before he drove off.
Driving for a few minutes, he made his way back, just close by his old house. Looking at the house where his father should have stayed all his life stalking him.
Walking to the house with Anny in hand, he simply opened the door and walked in, only taking a few steps, a gun was pointed on his head.
Closing the door behind him, "Is this how a father should greet his son after a long time?" Wesley says with a smile as he drop Anny to the ground.
"You knew?" Cross says, bewildered.
"How wouldn't I? Only a Gibson can kill a Gibson. It's why the Fraternity wants me to kill you." Wesley says with confidence as he moves the gun away from him, with a gentle smile on his face, he moves forward, drawing closer to Carlos(Cross).
With Wesley and Carlos locked eye to eye, Carlos didn't see a fist flying straight to his face, Carlos flew back with blood dripping from his nose.
With anger, Wesley spoke to his father. "Just because your my father doesn't mean I will easily forgive you, I know you don't want the Fraternity taking notice of me, but you were always there, so near and just watching me, you could have at least left a note when I wasn't around, you've seen my suffering from our families condition, you could have at least told me all about it so I wouldn't have to suffer."
Carlos stood back up covering his nose, Wesley looked at him with sadness and hurt as he walked closer once more, with a slacked posture and a harmless aura, Carlos was left defenceless and felt sorry for his son.
Another punch came his way which knocked him to the ground. "That's for mother! How could you have left her to die, with you being so close to us, you left her alone to take care of me and didn't do anything when she was dying."
Wesley simply shook his fist as he made his way to a chair and sit.
Carlos just groaned on the ground shaking off the punch he received from his son before sitting up. "I deserved that, You really grew up strong. I didn't even see that coming."
"I left because I didn't want you to take the same path as me, I didn't want you to have any involvement with the Fraternity, they aren't the same as they used to be." Carlos says so as he got up and grabbed a tissue to wipe off the blood.
"You've been quite a shitty father, but now that I'm here and there is no longer any reason for you to keep your distance from me, I need your help." Carlos looks at Wesley with a serious eye, waiting for what he has to say.
"I'm planning to destroy the Fraternity, and kill Sloan."
