Chapter 2: First Recruit
I returned to NY and spent part of the money buying warehouses where I would develop the technology and having them as safe houses aren't something bad. After that I bought some containers with materials and they should arrive in 2 weeks, I also bought a building wich will be where I will start my company, there I plan to develop prothesis, videogames, cellphones, and more. I haven't registered the company because I haven't decided for its name, it could be Maverick Industries with the PMC Maverick Security Counseling Inc. or another, getting a catchy name is hard so for now I will be thinking in the possible employees, one of them being Melvin Potter, the one that made Daredevil's Suit, he's a genius when it comes to it and if I recruit him we could improve the sneaking suit that I will make and he could avoid the future of working for Fisk unless he was found already, to be certain of this I will be asking to some criminals if they know something.
Leaving my house with a duffle bag in the middle of the night, I reach an alley where no one will see me, there I open the bag and change to the clothes I carried on it, now I'm wearing a ski mask, a hooded sweatshirt, gloves, cargo pants, and boots, everything is black. I took the Kabab knife from the bag holstering it on my leg just in case, I put my other clothes in the bag, keeping the bag I head to Hell's Kitchen searching for the number 1 crook Turk Barrett, if someone has info about criminals it's him.
**********************************************
Searching for him was easier said than done, after spending a couple of hours I finally found him selling some weapons to Russians mobs, waiting for them to leave I finally approach him from behind, I didn't tried to hide my presence so he found me when I was at arm reach of him, scared he pulled a handgun and tried to turn around, before he could completely turn around and aim me I grab his wrist keeping the muzzle away from me, using my elbow I hit him in liver weakening him greatly, then I put my left foot in front of his calf and my left hand on his shoulder blade, quickly I pull with my leg and push with my arm throwing him on the ground with me following putting my knee on his back to keep him pressed. Twisting his wrist a little he drops the gun and taking his other arm I put it under my knee just in case, done with this in just a couple of seconds I start talking to him.
"I'm gonna make you some questions, if you answer nothing bad will happen to you, otherwise you forced this on yourself."
"Cough! who... Cough Cough!... who the fuck are you man!?" - some are so stupid to even process what is currently happening, in this case, you need to make them aware of their situation.
*Snap*
"Arghhh!" - I dislocate his wrist, dropping his arm I get up leaving him on the ground curling and wailing, I pick up the gun he tried to use, a Glock 17, a weapon not registered that I will keep.
"Answer me! What do you know about Wilson Fisk!?" - asking this to the subject he will think subconsciously in what they know, using this window I read their minds learning the answer to my questions quickly and avoiding the problem of reading a mess of memories and feelings.
"If, If I talk they would kill me!". - It seems he became aware of the situation, saying this excuse he remembers the things they do to moles and everything he knows about Kingpin, thanks for the free info, now then.
"You will wish to be dead then." - I already read his mind and got all the info he knows but it will be suspicious if I interrogate him and leave before he shared that info so he needs to talk, something he isn't willing due to fear, so lets engrave a greater fear inside his thick skull then, that way he will talk.
I once again immobilize him on the ground, the dislocated wrist is already swelling, I took the say wrist and rearrange it to its original position in a slow manner making him trash and screaming in the ground due to the pain. Once rearranged I change my aim towards his elbow, stretching his arm I hit the joint with my palm, exposing the bone to the chilling air from the night.
"Arrrrgggghhh!"
"Why you must keep silent? It will only get worse if you don't talk, so do this favor to you and everything will be over. On the other hand, if you are loyal to the death to Kingpin I will be using the harsh methods, for example I can skin your flesh around the bone, chopping members, injecting a self-made drug to numb your senses (the truth it's that I use my powers to play with his nervous system), with the last one you won't feel pain at the beginning, but once the effect pass you would feel it all at once. So which one you want?" - empathizing with him, threatening him and looking at him with an expectant gaze at what he will choose, this will make me look like someone crazy who enjoys torturing people in his eyes and this would scare most than death itself.
"I will, I will talk! All I know is that he works with the Russians, Yakuza and the Chinese, he has contacts everywhere, you should ask them." - not enough information but enough to hide my true objective making them believe that I'm in a manhunt. After he spilled the beans I kick his lower jaw knocking him and spitting a teeth.
With Barrett knocked out in the ground I start looking on his merchandise, I already have the Glock 17 but having more weapons is better, looking on his merchandise I found some sawed-off shotguns, revolvers, handguns, knives, and submachine guns. Getting my duffle bag where I left it before my ambush on Turk, I start stashing most of the weapons excluding the handguns from this guy that can jam itself, ammo and cash, getting ready to leave I hear people heading this way.
Throwing Turk in a dumpster I hide getting ready to ambush them, currently, there are 4 Russians, 2 currently carry a handgun, 1 with a knife and last one unarmed, they must be here to buy some weapons for the last one but the timing was bad, at least for them.
"контрабандист!(Contrabandist/smuggler) Smuggler!" - they call the unconscious Turk to no avail and growing suspicious they separate to search the place. Killing them will be the easy way out but I can't otherwise the rumors will make me a crazy guy just like The Punisher. (A/N: Google translator... don't hate me.)
Checking near where I hide I found a crystal bottle, keeping it with me I wait for one of them get close, when one of them wasn't far from my hiding spot I quickly jump at him and hold the handgun away from me, I hit him with the bottle on the face stunning him, I quickly disassemble the handgun barrel and putting him on a blood choke while drawing my Glock, exerting pressure to this one I shot twice to the other one holding the gun hitting him in the shoulder and leg, dropping the now unconscious mob I see that the one with the knife has gotten close trying to stab me, blocking the momentum on his forearm I close in giving him a slashing elbow hit on the face followed by a knee on the gut, twisting his wrist to drop the knife followed by a shoulder throw.
The fourth guy seeing how I incapacitated his friends choose to run something they won't forgive but not my problem, walking to the one I shoot I kick the handgun away so he won't shoot me on the back, getting my stuff I leave to find my objective.
**********************************************
It took me a while to reach the workshop of Melvin, checking the area and making sure there's nobody I enter the workshop finding Melvin working on some kind of body armor, the chest was yellow with armor plating on it, the pants were blue made of some kind of fiber, it has a weird metal mask and he was working on some gauntlets with saw blades.
"Why are you making that armor? Fisk wants you to assault a place?" - revealing my existence to him I start questioning him, I need to know if he is loyal to Fisk, if he's then I will have to do something extreme.
"You shouldn't be here." - after the jumpscare, he received this is the only answer I receive.
"Is that armor to save Betsy from Fisk?" - I'm betting on this guess hoping that is the case, otherwise plan B, knocking him and using hypnosis to change his loyalty towards me but doing something to someone who could be goodwill leave a bad taste in my mouth.
"You shouldn't be here!" - saying this he equipped one of the gauntlets and started the saw on it.
Seeing him coming closer with bad intentions I draw my Glock aiming at him forcing him to stop. - "I'm on your side Melvin, I'm not of the dogs of Fisk!" - after saying this I slowly hold my hands showing him that I mean no harm.
Seeing this action of me he stops the saw and drops the gauntlet, he sits on the floor and start crying. -
"You shouldn't be here! He will hurt her!"
"Not if you help me, together we could stop Fisk, help Betsy and do good things" - he's good and is worth fighting for people like that.
"You are going to save her and do good things? She wants me to be good."
"I promise." - I give him some time to think about it is sure he will accept.
"... What do you want me to do?"

The first time writing a fighting scene, it was hard thinking of every move, if they're mostly realistic, etc. in other words it was stressing and fun, like playing Dark Souls or anything like that. I hope that you like it, I could just put the name of the techniques but those who don't know will have to look on the net what the techniques do and if you do something like that one loses the focus when reading.
To those who tried to guess the Ex-girlfriend, Susan Storm studied at Columbia University so no, she isn't. I have a plan for the ex-girlfriend and I hope it goes well. (I lack confidence in my storytelling)
Yeah, I know, he is lame when you compare his equipment and first 'suit' if you can call it like that with The Punisher but he's a 'civilian' and he doesn't have the materials to make the high-end tech, for now.
