It had been a year since Wolfe left to find answers and then track down Azazel. He had the answers, but Azazel was out witting him. Wolfe's leads led him to Morocco, Cairo, Dubai, Czech-Slovakia, Norway, Paris and Istanbul. And now he was headed back home. For he had decided that Azazel would always be one step ahead of him somehow. So he decided to return home after so long and deal with the consequences of leaving the way he had and for being away for so long.
Emilia was in her room at Morbius' house looking over case files. She had music playing with earphones in. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she shoved the owner of the hand against the wall and held her arm their throat.
"Woah, easy there tiger." Wolfe said to her with a smile on his face. Emilia let go of him, took out the earphones and gave him a hug.
"You're back!" She exclaimed to him as she hugged him.
"That I am. Azazel was always a step ahead of me, so I decided to come back after being away for a year."
"It's good to have you back!"
"It's good to be back, and it's good to be hugged. I have to go to the Haven and tell Grey, Morbius, Reverend and Rose that I'm back and what I've learnt."
"Alrighty, I'll go with you."
"Cool, could you drive me there?"
"You can teleport, and you have a car."
"It got destroyed whilst I was searching for Azazel. And I prefer the sensation of being in a car."
"Fair enough." Emilia gathered up her files and they walked out to her Dodge.
"I think I'll get another Ferrari, anywho lets go." They got in the Dodge and drove off to the Haven.
They walked into the Haven and people began to stare at Emilia. They walked to the Council Room.
"They should all be here, hopefully Alexander isn't in there..." She muttered. They walked through the double doors and up to the Council seats. Morbius, Reverend, Rose and Grey were all talking to each other. Alexander was not present.
"Well look what we have here." Grey jokingly said with a smile. Wolfe did his single finger salute and the other three noticed he had arrived. Rose ran down and gave him a hug. She let go and reassumed her position like nothing had occurred.
"Welcome back Wolfe." Morbius said with a nod.
"Thanks. Reverend." Wolfe shook Revered's hand.
"Welcome back." Reverend said to him.
"Alright, business. Azazel managed to stay one step ahead of me throughout the time I was tracking him. I don't know how it happened but it did."
"So we don't know where he is?" Grey asked.
"He's somewhere in Iraq, but I was too tired to follow him."
"As for the other thing, did you get it sorted."
"It took some time but we managed to find a fall guy."
"Good. While I'm on that topic... As you know I dug up Alexia's grave and found that her skeleton was still inside her coffin. It means she isn't coming back or someone created an exact replica of what her skeleton would look like. It even had a hairline fracture on her left forearm which I gave her by accident."
"Very well. There is something you must know as well. The visions stopped three days after Alexia's parents came in demanding answers."
"They might continue for all we know. It's happened before... Anyway, what's been going on here since I left?"
"Not much. There's been more Strength Tests than usual thanks to Alexander."
"My training has continued. Mainly in hand-to-hand, but I got some training with weapons in. I am confident with hand-to-hand and semi confident with weapons." Emilia told Wolfe.
"What about your Hunter powers?"
"I was planning on waiting until you got back. Morbius trained me with the speed and strength though."
"Wolfe and Miss Emilia. Reverend also, there is currently a Strength Test being held. Our Agents are requesting the three of you be there." Grey said.
"Fair enough." Reverend said. "When he says our Agents Wolfe, he means the ones that aren't Alexander's groupies."
"Very well. Let us go." The three of them walked out. "What do we know about Alexander?"
"He's American, possibly a spy." Reverend said.
"And a big douche bag." Emilia added.
"Hmph. By the way Emilia, why is everyone staring at you with hatred?"
"Oh, that. I broke Alexander's nose not that long ago."
"It was a good punch that." Reverend added. They arrived at the room the Strength Test was bent held in. Cheering was happening as two Agents fought each other. Alexander was on the other side of the room and watched them enter. The fight on the mat ended with the smaller Agent being the winner. Cheers went up. Reverend, Wolfe and Emilia took an empty spot towards the left hand side of the room. Alexander walked onto the mat.
"Twas a good fight that. Congratulations to the winner." Everything Alexander said was dry and almost sarcastic. "Now, it is time for my fight. And for my opponent I choose Emilia." Everyone turned to look at her. "Actually I change my mind. I do not choose to fight her." Emilia felt a wave a relief. "I demand to fight her!" Wolfe and Reverend looked grim.
"What's, what's wrong?" She asked them.
"If someone says that they demand to fight you then you cannot back down. It's the rules." Reverend said.
"I'm going to pay you back for breaking my nose!" Alexander said and cracked his fists. Wolfe turned and looked at him.
"There is a way around the demand rule." He muttered to Emilia. "You must say that you choose me to fight in your place then if I lose you just fight him."
"Wolfe, you don't need to get involved."
"Too late. I will fight for Emilia! If I lose then you can fight her!" Wolfe shouted to Alexander.
"So be it. I could defeat you easily." Alexander said with a laugh. Agents started patting Wolfe on the back as he walked towards the mat. He got on the mat and beckoned at Alexander. He laughed then lunged at Wolfe. Wolfe spun, did a high kick and brought Alexander down on to the ground. Alexander struggled to get back up. His groupies rushed and helped him up. Agents started cheering.
"Wolfe's the strongest! He's still got it!" They cheered.
"I'm not done yet." Alexander grunted.
"Yes you are. Rules state that if someone not in the fight helps you up then you are disqualified and your opponent wins. And I had already won." Wolfe stated. Alexander bared his teeth at Wolfe then ten groupies surrounded him. Wolfe laughed. He kicked two to the ground. He grabbed another and threw him into two more. He punched one down with a single punch. He jump kicked two more. He teleported behind the last two and knocked their heads together which made them drop. "Know this you imbecile, do not anger me. Stay away from Emilia or I won't go easy on you next time." Wolfe said. The Agents that were supporting Wolfe laughed, cheered and clapped. Wolfe, Emilia and Reverend left.
"I understand what you mean Emilia, that guy's a dick." Wolfe muttered. Emilia nodded. Reverend walked off to the Medical Wing and the other two found Morbius in his office.
"How was the Strength Test?" He asked.
"Too easy. I need to fight Reverend in one..." Wolfe said.
"Got any new cases recently?"
"Not any that are that recent. Last one was two months ago. A demon had done a string of killings."
"Was it one that burns people to death?"
"Right. I heard about that somewhere. Anyway, I'm going to duck out for a bit and buy myself a new Ferrari."
"What happened to the other one?"
"See ya." Wolfe left the office.
"I take it you didn't ask him?" Morbius asked. Emilia sighed.
"Not yet, I'll do it soon though. He threatened Alexander to stay away from me though." She responded.
"Good, maybe that'll stop him. Did you see one of Wolfe's legendary high kicks?"
"Yes. Are they legendary?"
"Nah, not really. Everyone here who has had one connect with their head has regretted it for quite a while afterwards."
"Damn indeed, those things fucking hurt from him..." Morbius rubbed a spot on the back of his head. She laughed. "Yeah, laugh it off. Luckily for you, you won't get one from him."
"Yeah. He once took the head off a zombie with a high kick."
"Didn't we tell you that?"
"Oh, well they do. I should also say that we have various symbols that we use and those symbols can do various things. Some dampen powers, some reinforce things, stuff like that."
"Fair enough. Do you reckon Wolfe's strength and powers have increased since he was gone?"
"If it was possible for them to improve any further then yes, they would have."
"Are you going to ask him about the other thing?"
"I shall. Invite him over for dinner tonight please sweetie." She nodded and sent a text to Wolfe asking about dinner. He responded with "Sounds good." She showed Morbius and he nodded.
This is the second Hunters Story, it follows on from “A Time For A Feast” and funnily enough it’s the shortest one so far. Enjoy
