Agent Mikaelson

Chapter 3: Enter Cat Guy

Hope's POV:

He punches his hand through the door, grabbing one man's head and hitting it on the wood, knocking him out. I launch myself at the door and it caves easily. Men start shooting at us. I get hit with a few, but nothin bad. I heal instantly. James shields himself with his arm.

As James takes care of the men on the stairs I leap through the air and tackle the men that came though the ceiling. I quickly snap the rope and get them to a safer, lower level before swinging back onto the landing where James and Steve, are.

He knocks a man over the railing, but Steve catches him. "Come on man." He breaths, hauling him to safety. Latching onto my waist with one hand James grabs the railing with his metal arm and bends it, creating a makeshift rope to get us to the next level down.

When we land, we kick one man through a door. We take down two more men before taking one last glance at Steve. James turns to me. "Jump?" I ask. "Jump." I sigh, but follow along with what he's planning to do.

We hurl ourselves over the side of the railing, dropping about five floors before James latches onto the railing with his metal arm and my hand with his normal one. I breath a sigh of relief that he caught me. Would have been pain in the ass the speed up all the stairs when I hit the bottom.

He grunts with the effort, but manages to pull both himself and me up to the floor where we break down the door and launch ourselves out of the window onto the rooftop where our bags are.

We grab our bags and sprint at a faster than human, slower than vampire, more closely related to werewolf in human form speed. We're almost to the other side of the roof when someone tackles James to the ground. When I look up I see a man dressed in a back cat suit.

It's made of metal, that I can be sure of. Him and James start to fight. I speed over, throwing him off the metal armed man. He gets up easily though, not fazed by it. He rushes forward and kicks me. It's harder than I expected cause I go flying backwards.

I grunt as I land, but quickly get to my feet. When I look over at the two of them he's getting the upper hand on James. I go to run to them when two arms encircle my waist, stopping me from running into an oncoming bullets shot by a helicopter. The bullets bounce off cat guy's suit.

I turn to see Steve. "Let me go." I tell him. "Hope, come on, we need to talk." "Not the time Steve." I growl. "We can help him." "Really? Cause right now they're trying to shoot him. Please Steve." I say.

I can tell we are not in agreement, but he lets go all the same I raise one of my hands. "Fluctus inpulsa!" A shock wave sends the helicopter spinning off in a noter direction. It didn't hurt anything so they'll live, but it'll buy us time to get cat guy off our backs.

James kicks cat guy off and I speed over to him. Latching my hand with his, I haul him up and we take off to the other side of the roof, away from Steve, Sam, and cat guy. We leap onto a ledge before seeing cat guy is gaining on us. He looks at me.

I nod and with that we leap from the building entirely. When we reach the ground we start sprinting. The helicopter returns and starts shooting at us. We find the opening to a lower street and jump through, landing in the middle of traffic.

We continue running, barely stopping for a beat. Cat guy and Steve are right on our tail and so is the police. I hear glass breaking and know that Steve found a car. When we look back cat guy is latched onto the side of the car. Police cars are now ahead of us.

We leap over the barrier and continue on. When we reach the exit to the tunnel James sees a motorcycle and grabs the handle, throwing the driver off and spinning it around.

Once he's landed I immediately get on, latching my arms around his waist before we take off, speeding through the oncoming cars. The cat guy launches himself off Steve car and towards us. I raise a hand. "Dimiterre."

He is flung through the air, off of us, but he quickly gains his footing. Who is this guy? "Hope, think you can do something about our tails?" James asks. "On it." I spot the exit the the new tunnel we've been in. When we're past it I blow it up. "Vados!"

Cat guy somehow gets through and slashes our tire. James and I are sent flying from the bike. Cat guy hovers over James, but is tackled by Steve before he can do anything. We are now surrounded by cops, cars, guns, and helicopters. I can still get us out.

I turn to James, but he shakes his head. I nod, getting out of my fighting stance and grabbing James' metal hand for comfort. Most people would find it unnerving, holding a metal hand, but it's comforting because I know it's him. Rhodey even shows up. "Stand down now." He says.

Steve puts his shield away. "Congratulations Cap, Hope. You're criminals." He tells us. I roll my eyes as men flood the scene, roughly separating James and I and slamming him onto the ground. Sam, cat guy, Steve, and I raise our hands in surrender.

They go to put cuffs on me and I gasp in pain, crying out. "Stop!" James yells at them. "What are you doing to her?" Steve snaps. "Vervain and wolves bane cuffs." One solider says. I grunt in pain from both. "Stop it!" Steve yells at the same time James calls. "Let her go!"

"I'm fine." I grunt, my wrists searing. "Yeah, you will be." Another soldier says, walking up to me and pushing a needle into my neck. All I hear is Steve, Sam, and James calling my name before everything goes black.
