Batman In MCU - Chapter 83

“hiyah” Yelena exclaimed as she delivered a kick to the side of Taskmaster’s head sending the rolling backwards.

Batman and Yelena double teamed Taskmaster preventing him from being able to land a solid hit on any of them.

Yelena attempted a drop kick but was stopped by Taskmaster’s shield, but in blocking her attack Taskmaster left themself open to the Batman.

Batman not letting the opening go delivered a heavy hit to gut which resulted in a few sickening crunches. Taskmaster let out a gasp of pain before moving back to put more space between them.

Batman changed at them once more which Taskmaster was able to block but Taskmaster was unprepared for what followed.

Yelena used the Batman’s shoulders as a boost to perform a jump landing behind Taskmaster and delivering a low kick to the calf.

A scream of pain escaped Taskmaster’s lips as the pain travelled from their calf to their brain. With their stance loose Batman took advantage and sent the shield out of their hand and over the bridge the stood on.

Taskmaster watched the shield fly off before nimbly moving avoiding a joint attack from both Batman and Yelena who moved in sync.

Gaining some space between them once more Taskmaster entered a stance that was both familiar and strange to Batman and Yelena.

Upon closer inspection it seemed Taskmaster had combined both Batman and Yelena stance. In that split second Batman and Yelena prepared themselves for what was coming a knife flew into their midst causing them to move from one another.

Taskmaster moved in at that moment and locked on to Yelena raining hit after hit on her but majority of this attack were blocked by Yelena who was by no means an easy target.

Taskmaster with one quick and smooth movement appeared behind Yelena and pushed her forward to serve as a shield from Batman who came in at that moment with a kick.

Batman seeing Yelena quickly stopped his kick spun around and fired two batarangs at Taskmaster who responded in kind by firing two throwing knives and falling to the iconic widow pose as a mini explosion went off above them.

“Poser” Yelena called out before rushing with Batman to engage the Taskmaster. Taskmaster rushed in to meet them head on, but was stunned as Yelena moved out of the way and flipped him off.

Taskmaster eyes widened in surprise as a bo Staff hit them square in the chin sending them over and down below. Yelena had served as cover while Batman had pulled out two batons and combined into the staff to deliver that surprise devastating hit.

Batman took one last look at where the Taskmaster had fallen before saying to Inessa, “let’s go”.

Before them was Inessa whose combat uniform had been dyed red by blood around her abdomen with the blood even pooling under her.

Yelena’s eyes widened in disbelief as she saw this, “no, no, NO!” Yelena began in a whisper but ended screaming. She had not known Inessa long enough and they had not started on the best terms, but she had begun to like her just like another sister.

Batman saw the crazy look that had began to take over Yelena’s eyes and turned to look at her, “Yelena, go join Alexei and Melina.”

Yelena quickly whipped her head to stare at Batman, “what? no, I’m coming with you” she argued.

“This whole thing has started to go down, it’s best you go join them. Leave Dreykov to me.” Batman stared down at her with a stern look. “I can just walk away, I-” Batman cut her off “I know you can help but I need you to trust me, Inessa will not go unavenged.”

Yelena stared at Batman sharing no words she turned away and took a few steps before stopping once more, “you better make that monster suffer” “I will” Batman responded.

Yelena took off in one direction to catch up with the rest as explosions continued to resound throughout the place alongside the blaring alarm sounds.

Batman turned to face Inessa before squatting and closing her eyes. Taking to his feet once more Batman noticed an arrow Yelena had drawn on the floor with her blood.

Even as she was dying Inessa still tried her best to help in taking down the bastard. Batman looked to where the arrow pointed before taking confident strides down in that direction.

Down below Alexei had the shield while the other widows supported Taskmaster who was no without the mask and revealed to be none other than Dreykov’s daughter who was presumed dead.

As she was also controlled like the widows the cure had worked just as well on her.

They made their way to the jet as Yelena made it to their side and joined them sharing a look they nodded at each other before making their way into the jet.
