⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ the armor is warning him that there are footsteps behind him. they were approaching fast, insanely fast. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ in the process, though, he destroys a huge chunk of the factory, leaving it standing by a mere miracle. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ he notices writing on the surviving walls, “ ‘ hell’s kitchen ’ ? where did I chase these guys to ? ” ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ connor sighs, using a very thin force field of darkforce to protect himself. he didn’t wanna have to fight, but he knows she can survive it. focusing the energy in his chest, he fires a blast that incapacitates the woman and dematerializes the grenade. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ she activates it, with the advanced grenade beeping upon doing so. “ you’re going to let me walk, otherwise I’ll blow up this entire factory. you’re a hero, right ? you save lives ? well, save mine ! ” she says, holding herself hostage(?). ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ “ yeah, I get it, not much of a talker myself either; just trying to make this a little less awkward on us, hehe. ” ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ he, however, lowered his regard even after this response. she pulls another grenade from her pocket. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ “ you’re going to jail, y’know ? your buddies are out cold, and the feds are already on their way. you can’t run either, so whaddaya say we talk a bit ? ” ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ he takes a different approach, though she repays this with spit to his feet. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ however, the third goon is unmasked now, and it’s a woman. she’s got coffee brown hair, tanned lightly with freckles to match. in his eyes, she was a beauty, but a woman at that. he was never thought to fight, but he knew it was wrong to hit her. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ despite letting the criminals run, he had the full intention to stop them. his wings emerge, and darkhawk takes off in a hurry. he knocks one into the wall, incapacitating him in the process. he takes another and throws a single punch — a knockout punch. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ wolverine-like claws, composed of darkforce energy, emerge from his knuckles, and following the motion came darkhawk with a mighty SLASH, ripping their guns into halves. they run off, with connor staring at them confidently. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ “ hnng . . . why did that hurt worse than I thought ? ” thankfully, the darkhawk armor was capable of taking the full force of the attack, but he chose to instead play possum to lure in the attackers. successful at that, they simply stare down at him. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ he knew he followed some of the thugs working with AIM to midwest manhattan, yet he still didn’t know why the memory came up. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ connor still proceeded, chasing down the bandits to an empty factory. he opens the door, and them suddenly, BOOM❗️ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ 𝗔 𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗟 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗡 𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗. connor did know what to think of it — the memory wasn’t his own, yet he failed to gather the points. he recognized the red suit. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ +.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ taking a hold of hawkeye’s underarms, connor lifts off the snowy terrain and begins flying north. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ “ you mind explaining what you meant while we fly ? I’ll help you out, but I’m only 17 dude. I’m still not understanding the history class here. ” ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀
