The two cronies exchanged glances.

"It's in Greenwich village, on the pier off 11th avenue-"

"A-a-and just off of 17th street."

"Got it, thanks," Rocket said, untying the two of them. "By the way, is Leland Owsley in today?"

"All I need to hear......" Rocket said, turning to leave. "Oh, and if I go to that warehouse and don't find what I need, I'll be coming back for you two office monkeys."

With that, the raccoon made his leave, going out the way he came, picking up his jetpack, and started flying out once again. Typing in the address he was given, the bounty hunter followed the map with the new location pointed out by the familiar blinking red light. Within minutes he reached his destination, circling around the warehouse looking for entrances and guards.....

The warehouse had a large door to the front, and two smaller doors on either side. All were intently guarded by men in smart suits.

Rocket soon landed near a neighboring warehouse, hiding away his jetpack near a pile of stuff and ran on all fours towards one the of side doors. He hid by a wall a peered over, looking over at the guards already there.....

The two guards stood tall and resolute, in their old-fashioned suits, with handguns at the ready for the first sign of trouble.

Seeing only two guards, Rocket smirked. He pulled out tube device, this time purple in color, pulled the ping and tossed at the guards. The grenade exploded on impact soundlessly, spewing force a thick cloud of noxious purple gas that smelled incredibly foul, burning their noses and eyes, and incredibly thick and heavy, making breathing almost impossible. The two guards would soon be knocked unconscious within seconds and the gas completely dissipating soon after.

The guards fell to the ground, clutching at their throats, before finally falling unconscious.

After the guards went down, Rocket scurried up to the door. He pulled out a combat knife with a glowing electric blue edge and stabbed through it. Effortlessly slicing through the metal, the raccoon cut a hole large enough to fit him and the pushed the sliced portion of the door out of his way. He quickly rushed into the building on all fours, hiding from guards and dodging into the shadows along the way.

The largest room in the warehouse had metal walkways aplenty, with guards on patrol with pistols and machine guns. But though there was at least one truck tucked away in the corner, Rocket had yet to see a single armoured car.

Rocket saw the truck out in the corner. Carefully manuvuering around the room, avoiding the guards as he gradually made he way over to the lone vehicle. He managed to reach it, squeezing underneath the vehicle and crawling towards a door away from the guards' line of sight. He then pulled out a key shaped device and put it into the keyhole. It blinked green, and Rocket turned it, unlocking the door. He slowly opened it and peered inside.....

...empty. Whatever had been carried around in the truck had been cleared out, leaving only dark, dusty, corrugated metal. There were some clues as to what it transported, however. There were metal benches attached to the wall, dirty footprints on the ground, and a cartridge clip left behind.

Rocket looked around the interior of the truck with a discerning look, sniffing around and looking over for any possible detail. He then activated a scanner and scanned the entire interior of the van, searching for any sort of clues....

There was the odd dirt mark or fingerprint here or there, which Rocket might search for later, but nothing too spectacular of a lead.

Then a brown sackcloth came down over him.

Rocket resisted the initial reaction to struggle when the brown sack was thrown over him. However, he was still annoyed he managed to fall for such an old trick. His would be kidnappers would find that Rocket would probably fit easily right inside the bag, sitting in the bottom. The raccoon decided to stay still, waiting to see where these people will take him......

As he was being carried along, Rocket could hear the sound of talking from outside the bag.

"What is it, Jerry?"

"God damn pests, Mike."

"Rats again?"

"Nah, raccoon this time."

"Seriously? Jeeze, you'd think the Big Man would pick a spot less rodent-infested."

"Yeah, well, what can ya do?"

There was the sound of a door opening, the carrier muttering "Lazy bums,", then after a short period of silence, they stopped. Rocket began to feel the sensation of being swung.

"One, for the dinner, Two, for the show, Three, to make ready, and Four, to go!"

If he didn't act fast, the next sound Rocket heard would be a loud splash around him.

As the bag was flung, some kind of electric blue blade sliced through the bag and the raccoon within shot out wearing some kind of rocket shoes straight for the guy who tossed the bag, slamming both hind feet into the mook's face. As raccoon fell to the ground, he pulled out a pistol of some sort and fired lasers at the other mook's kneecap, which felt being shot by an actual semi-auto.

All this before the bag could hit the water.....

-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-

Rocket quickly ran up to the mook he shot in the knee, climbed his his back, and put his knife up to the guy's neck. The mook would feel intense heat coming from blade like a hot stove top......

"Lemme guess, is this the Big Man's usual place and the Owl's meeting him here, or is it the other way around.....?" Rocket semi-politely asked he pulled the man's hair back with surprisingly strength and pushed the knife closer to the man's neck.

Before the goon could register what was happening, he was already on his knees, and a blade at the back of his neck.

"...yeah, this is the Big Man's place..." he said, "...Who wants to know?"

"I do," Rocket said. "Now, while the Big Man is certainly a nice bonus, I was initially looking for the Owl. Now, I'm thinkin' I am goin' on one giant wild goose chase here, with some jewel thieves pointing me to the Metlife building, and then some office monkeys pointing me in the direction of this here warehouse. Now, what I want to know, where......is......the Owl.......?" the raccoon half asked, half threatened.

The goon burst out laughing. He carried on laughing for 20 seconds before winding down.

"Those muties are real bastards, aren't they? Well, I know for a fact that Owl occupies southeast up to about east, so I'm betting the guys in the tower were the ones playin' you."

"Huh," Rocket said. *WHACK* He knocked the goon out cold with a sharp impact to the back of the head with the knife handle. The raccoon then turned on the comms. "Pyko?"

"Yes Rocket?" Pyko said.

"Call in the cops and have then come to the warehouse I was at," the raccoon said. "Didn't get the Owl, but I think I'll be earning a paycheck regardless."

"Wild goose chase, huh?" Pyko said. "I'll hack into the records over at the Metlife tower and see if Owsley somehow turns up after contacting the police."

"Right."

A beat.

"What's the status on that bat monster?"

"You'll be happy to know the creature is now safely imprisoned - !"

"Call me the moment the bastard escapes."

A pause. "Um.....you think he'll escape? Just after being caught?"

"I have a gut feeling about that flying rat," Rocket said. "Blighters like him always manage to escape from the law at some point. Just a question of when."

"......alright."

"Good. I'll go clear out some of the scumbags in here in the meantime to give the coppers some breathing room. I'll start looking for the Owl again tomorrow. Rocket out."

After cutting the comms, Rocket starting dragging the two unconscious thugs that tried to drown back inside the warehouse.

When the police arrived later, they would find several of the Big Man's goon all tied for the police to take away, many of them unconscious. The only clue to who managed to beat them all was a piece of paper with the picture of a stylized raccoon's face in front of rocket ship.......with what looked like a bill written on the back.

Back at the tower, in a dark and tiled place, the Owl sat behind his desk, wearing his reading glasses. In front of him, the malnourished, flat eared man who got trapped between the logs, and the muscular, hunched man who got struck in the groin stood before him.

"And he really bought it?" asked the Owl.

"Hook, line and sinker, sir," said the scrawny one, "He's probably at the warehouse right now, being filled full of holes."

"Brilliant!" hissed the Owl. "I suppose there's a lesson to be learned here. Just because someone is dumb as a stump, doesn't mean they can't be cunning. You!" He pointed to the scrawny one, "What's your name? And I don't mean your person name; what do they call you on the streets?"

"They call me Damodar, sir."

"Right." He pointed to the hunched one. "And you?"

"Sunder, sir."

"Well, Damodar and Sunder, congratulations! I'm promoting you to active service, to work with the other people with brain cells to rub together."

"Really?!" Damodar and Sunder were overjoyed.

"Thanks, Owl, sir! You won't regret this!" cried Sunder, and they turned to leave.

"WAIT!" screeched the Owl, "...I haven't dismissed you yet."

"Of course. Sorry, sir," said Damodar humbly.

"You've sent him to the lion's den," said the Owl. "That's well and good. But what if he's not killed, hm? What if he beats the odds, and gets out alive? Did you think of that? ...Didn't think so. Well, here's what would happen. He'd be back again, and he'd be angry. We can't have this flea-bitten british toolbox sticking his nose in again. Especially seeing how close he got. So we're gonna have to take precautions. Sunder! Tell the men to bump up security, double time! Damodar! Go to the third floor, red filing cabinet, top drawer, and get me the list of mutant assassins!"

Meanwhile, the Big Man was having a meeting of his own, with one of the minions from the office building.

"And how would you describe this...'Beetle'?"

"Green as fresh grass and just as young. He was trying to make himself look scary and threatening, but he was just so bad at it that it wasn't even funny. Nice kid though, very polite and considerate."

"And yet, he had you bound hand and foot in half a second. One last question: how much did you tell him, and how much did your partner."

"All I told him was that Fancy Dan was good with a rope. Spriggs provided the rest."

"Hmm. Good to know."

"So, how 'bout it? Can I take my leave of absence from organised crime? ...Or are you gonna have the Enforcers kill me for suggesting it."

The Big Man tipped his head up in minor surprise. "...I'll think about it." And so the minion left the office, and would not return to it again.

________________

The next morning...

The sun shone through the blinded window of Obadiah Stane, though barely lit up the bedroom. He was well rested this morning, and in a fairly good mood, as he wiped a spot of breakfast milk from his white beard. He glanced over at his bedside clock. 9:05. He should probably get out of his bathrobe and into a suit soon. He got up, pushed his back with both hands, and made his way towards the bathroom. He was interrupted half way by the phone. Mumbling, he returned to the bedside chest of drawers, and answered the phone on top of the chest of drawers.

"Hello?...Well, good morning to you too, Ms Potts, now will you please slow down...He's what?...Well, when did you last see Tony?...Pepper, you worry too much, he probably went out on the town...huh?...Attacked him at his car?! Why didn't anyone tell me?...Right, right, I understand...I don't think it would be necessary to talk to the man in jail about it. Chances are, he's probably just some bitter nutcase who doesn't...Yes, yes, okay. Have you called the police already?...Good, you do that. I'll do some calls of my own...I just have connections, all right? Is Tony the only one who can keep secrets around here?...All right, I'll let you know about any developments...Bye."

Stane hung up. He looked skyward and sighed.

"Tony, Tony, Tony..."

When he woke up Jaime quietly walked into Rogue's kitchen and began making breakfast, doing his very best not to wake up Rogue. He is preparing egg omelets with fried tomatoes on the side, pancakes, and toast. He is also looking for a coffee maker and beans so he can make a pot of coffee.

Ororo woke up, having slept only sparingly last night. If...whatever the hell had happened last night...had ended well, it seemed like there should be some sort of call.

The white haired teen sighed, picking up the phone and calling again. It couldn't hurt. Or maybe she should try Stark Industries proper...?
