The ride goes again and again. Kate's voice is setting me off. I'm already angry we haven't seen the boss yet and that we are stuck with these baboons and Kate.

I just want to slice this duct tape off and find the boss myself.

"I realize you both are probably mad at me, but you'd be lost without me, you realize that?"

Wow, the confidence on this woman.

"I was about to clear your name from the suit, until you decided to crash through the skylight."

This guy talks about his problems with his girlfriend to Kate and I shake my head.

The man says "She talk to much. Blah, blah, blah. Maybe I rip out your throat?"

I scoff as I read the mans lips and the man looks to me and a door opens. "Or maybe she will."

She sees Dad's hearing aids and slices his duct tape off. "Hard of hearing. Not deaf. Sorry. She's the deaf one." He motions to me and the woman looks to me. The guy retapes Dad's hands together and she signs "do you understand what I'm signing?"

I look down to my hands and then nod to her. She slices my hands free and I sign "My hearing aide is gone. It broke when your guys attacked me. My speech when I speak without it is very slurred."

She nods and signs "Why are you and Clint Barton here?"

The man behind my dad says "She asked what you're doing here, Clint Barton."

I look to Dad as the womans gaze goes to him. She signs "You rely too much on technology." To my dad. He says "Well, my go to weapon is two sticks and a string."

I narrow my eyes at him and then see the guy signing for him. I just look to his signs and nod. I sign "He is only a recent hard of hearing person. I was born with damaged ear canals and drums."

The translator says "She is talking about your hearing aides. She thinks you'll find that you're better off without it."

God this woman is beautiful.

He looks to me and then Kate and says "Yeah. Sometimes I think that very same thing."

He starts yammering on and I turn towards him trying to hear out of my non damaged ear.

She signs, referring to Kate as the she "She beat up a few of my guys and then came running when you were in trouble. Seems like she's got something to do with it. And just because she's not the Ronin doesn't mean that Ronin's not back."
