Work Text:
Yuri was a very energetic sister. Even working overseas, she calls Cassian every single morning to check on him. Questions like "How are you?", "Did you eat?" or "Are you studying?" were common. Gangu Gwon, when alive, was proud of his sister and cherished her very much. Now, even as Cassian, he grew to like Yuri, even worrying about her well-being. She was his sister now after all.
In the morning, Cassian was walking to school, when Yuri called him like usual.
"What's up?" He started.
"Gangu! How are you!?" He could hear Yuri's voice on the other side.
"I'm fine like always. Just a little tired" He yawned after responding to her.
"Did you sleep well? Are you taking your vitamins!?"
"Relax, I'm sleeping well. And no, I'm not taking those vitamins, they're horrible."
"What!? I even bought the orange flavor!"
"Just no" He denied.
"How are your classes?"
"Fine, nothing much happening here" He sighed. "How is it there? Is everything ok?"
"Yes! Work is really hard, but I'm really excited!"
Cassian smiled. Yuri was always like that.
"Oh! I have to go now, I'll call you later. And don't skip your studies ok!?"
"Yeah, I won't, don't worry" The call ended.
Cassian put the phone in his pocket and smiled. Cassian might have lost Jeff, his older brother, but in this life, he has a new sister. And he was really happy about that.
~♦~
At night, Cassian was in the vilzone training. He was in his private training room. The war against Don King was near, so he needed to be stronger the fastest way possible.
Hearing a call, he grabbed the cell phone. It was Yuri. He quickly answered.
"Hey"
"Gangu! How are you!?"
Cassian grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"I'm fine."
"Did you eat? Don't forget to have three meals a day! It's good for your health!"
"Yeah, I'm eating well, thanks. And how about you?"
"I'm soooo tired! I can't wait to arrive home and sleep!"
Cassian smiled. She was so dramatic.
~♦~
In the morning, Cassian was walking to school. He grabbed his phone, waiting for Yuri's call. He knew she was going to call soon. Looking at his cell phone, he longed for the call. He already knew what she was going to ask, it was the same every morning. Maybe changing some things like asking about a girlfriend or new friends. Sometimes, he was really done with her. But at the same time, Cassian was anxious for her call. He learned to cherish her calls.
It was already 7am and Yuri hadn't called yet. She always calls before that. Maybe she was busy working? No, she always takes some time to call him. Maybe she forgot? Impossible, considering Yuri's concern over him. Cassian tried to think about numerous things she wouldn't call, but nothing made sense. So, this time, he called her for the first time. The cell phone called.... and called... and called. Nothing. She hadn't answered. Cassian furrowed his eyebrows.
That day, Yuri hadn't called.
~♦~
The next day, Cassian was awake much sooner than usual. He called Yuri a hundred times, but she answered not even once. He was starting to feel worried about her. It wasn't like her to not call him or not answer the calls. Yuri was his cherished sister, and he was really worried. She was in the States, on the other side of the world. He wasn't there to protect her if something happens.
Calling once again, Yuri answered.
"Yuri! Are you ok?" He asked all of a sudden.
"Oh, Gangu..."
"Yuri?"
"I'm fine... don't worry..."
"You don't seem fine" He retorted.
"I'm really fine... look, I have to go now..." And the call ended there.
"Yuri..." Cassian was still looking at the phone.
Yuri was not herself. She was energetic, happy, and concerned. She was nothing like this! Now, Cassian was really worried.
Something happened. And he would find out what it was.
~♦~
Cassian, in his glorious villain form, was walking in the vilzone like a storm, looking like he could kill someone.
"Driver!" Cassian opened the door violently. "I need your help"
"Oi, don't you know how to knock?" Driver retorted. He would say more, but seeing Cassian's serious face, he let it go. "Hn... so, what is it?"
"I need you to hack a restaurant's security camera"
"Oh, that's easy" He smiled mischievous.
"In the States" Cassian added.
"What? Why?"
"Personal matters"
"Ok, no more questions!" Snipping his chair, Driver started to type on his computer. "So, where's this restaurant?"
"The name's Vespérna, it's located in Philadelphia" Cassian said, concentrating on Driver's computer.
"Ok, done."
"It was the day before yesterday, you can put it between 8 pm to 7 am"
"It will take forever" Driver said while stretching his arms.
"I don't mind. I'll find out what happened, no matter what"
"If you say so"
Moments later, Cassian was watching the video.
Yuri was exiting the restaurant. Her face was bright and happy like Cassian always remembered. It was at night, so there was no one around. She was waiting in front of the restaurant, probably waiting for a taxi. Suddenly, a well-dressed man approached her. She greeted him and smiled, seemed like she knew him.
"Hello, Yuri. You're so pretty today like always" He complimented.
"Oh, hello Sr.! What brings you here so late!?" Yuri asked.
"Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to hear your answer" He smiled.
"Ah! Right! So... I'm sorry Sr., but I can't! I'm not interested in having a lover right now..."
"That's so sad... I was hoping you would accept me" His face darkened, but the smile was still there on his face.
"I'm really sorry, but I'm not prepared" Yuri replied respectfully.
"I can't help it..." He sighed.
When Cassian thought he was leaving, he suddenly turned around and punched Yuri in the face. With the impact, Yuri fell to the ground.
"You bitch! How could you!"
He slapped her again on the face, grabbing her hair and pulling it.
"I was being nice to you!"
This time, he kicked her stomach. Yuri was crying already, begging him to stop. The punches and kicks didn't stop but became more violent.
Cassian was with no reaction. His eyes were murderous with anger. How could he...! How could he do this to his dear sister! He was going to kill him! Still blind with rage, his hand, which once was leaning on Driver's chair, almost broke it.
"Oy, this chair is new!" Driver retorted again.
"...Kill him! I'm gonna kill him!" Cassian's shadow was reacting to his anger, making his eyes glow. "Find out everything about this guy now!"
Driver seemed to ponder a little.
"That's not gonna be necessary. He's fairly well-known in the underworld" He explained. "Here!" He showed a screen with all the data about the guy. "His name is Patrick Jones. He's 34 years old." Driver smiled. "A S rank villain and a mafia leader. He leads a drug smuggling in the United States. He might have a thousand people under his command. Very dangerous, indeed"
"A thousand?" Cassian asked sarcastically. "Bring it on"
He suddenly started walking away.
"Where are you going!?" Driver asked. He didn't understand why Cassian was so moved.
"Taking the next plane to the States"
~♦~
It was the next day when Cassian arrived at Yuri's city. The first thing he did was see Yuri's condition. Of course, without her knowing. He couldn't explain to her why he was suddenly in the States and couldn't tell her what he was going to do next. He turned into a villain, and hiding in the shadows, he went to Yuri's apartment. Peeping through Yuri's window, he saw his sister sitting on the bed. The area around her eyes was purple and swollen, due to the punches she received. He could see more purples in her arms and legs. And the worst part, she was crying.
The rage arose again inside of his chest.
They're gonna pay for this!
~♦~
At night, Cassian was going to put his plan into action. The target: a mansion in the noble part of the city. Driver sent the exact location through messages. He needs to thank Driver after this, without him, it would take forever to find this out alone. Standing in front of the gates, he looked at the mansion. Probably, there would be countless guards. Of course, he could take them all. Using his Shadow Hide, he went through the gate without problems.
There was a huge garden in front of the mansion, with luxury cars parked there. The mansion was enormous and luxurious, exactly like a mafia leader would like. Soon, a guard saw him walking and stood in front of him.
"I don't know who you are, but you're gonna regret having crossed here"
"Move" Cassian's face was dark.
Without giving him more chances, Cassian attacked the guard. Using his Shadow Dash, he gained speed and punched him, only to be blocked.
"Don't think I'm that easy!" The guard laughed.
Using his Shadow Bind now, the guard was unable to move. Cassian walked slowly to him, just to finish him in a second with a single punch in the face. He wasn't the one he was searching for. He walked to the front door like he owned the place. More guards came to block him, and this time, Cassian wasn't in the mood to fight all of them. With his Shadow Slice, he attacked every single guard, leaving them with great cuts that were bleeding severely. He didn't mind them, they're in his way.
Climbing the stairs to the main hall, more guards came. This time, all the guards gathered there to fight him. Looks like the entire mansion was aware of his presence. Cassian looked at all of them. Just a bunch of small fleas, they mean nothing to him.
"Where is he?" His eyes showed the anger he was feeling. No one responded. "Then you will all fall!"
This time, without using any shadow ability, he went after them. Punches and kicks were all over the place. Soon, all of them were on the ground, passed out. One last guy was awake on the ground, trying to escape from him. Cassian put a foot on his back, preventing him from moving anymore.
"Where is he?" He asked again.
"H-He's in the main office! Please spear me!" The last guard begged.
Cassian, removing his foot from the guy's back, kicked him in the face, making him pass out. Calmly, he walked to the main office. It was a luxurious door on the second floor. Entering the room, he saw a blond guy with a narcissistic smile. That made him even more angry. This guy...! He's gonna kill this guy!
"What makes you enter my house and beat my guards?" Patrick, the mafia leader, said.
"You... did that to her" Cassian clenched his teeth. "I'm gonna make you pay for this"
"Hn... I don't remember what you're saying, could you explain it to me?"
"Gladly" Cassian attacked him. With his speed, he exchanged punches with the other villain.
The fight was fierce, with Cassian in control. The guy was having a hard time against him.
"Yuri Gwon. Do you remember her?" His voice was low.
"Oh, I do. That bitch! She got what she deserved!"
With this, Cassian lost his control. The rage engulfed his heart. He could hear his villain side screaming for freedom, to kill that guy in the worst possible way. He attacked with much more force and speed, overpowering the other guy. Gathering all his force into his hand, Cassian grabbed his head and pushed it against the ground. Blood came from his nose and mouth, his facial bones had broken. Desperate, the guy crawled on the floor trying to escape from him. Cassian was walking slowly after him, his shadows dancing around him, making the guy even more desperate.
"Twelve times. You hit her twelve times." Cassian's voice was shaking, his anger taking the best of him.
Cassain put a foot on the leader's back, making him stop moving. A groan of pain came from his mouth.
"Please stop! I did nothing to you!"
"She begged you to stop." He continued without listening to him. "Did you stop? Of course not. What makes you think I'd stop?"
This time, Cassian put his foot on his head, making pressure. The guy released more blood from his mouth.
"I'm gonna make you pay. The worst way possible" His eyes darkened.
Grabbing Patrick's right arm, he twisted it to the wrong side, making him scream in pain.
"This arm... you used it to punch her face for the first time" Cassian, using his Shadow Slicer, cut his arm off. The guy screamed really loud. Blood gushed from his severed arm, hitting Cassian in the face. It made him look even more scaring.
"Please... I'm begging you!" The guy screamed.
Cassian grabbed the guy's hair with his other hand, pulling out a huge lock of hair. He grabbed the left arm, twisting it again on the wrong side.
"This one... You used it to grab her hair" Cassian ignored him. "How could you pull her hair!"
Using his Shadow Slicer again, he cut his other arm. More blood gushed from it, getting Cassian's clothes dirty. Cassian didn’t stop, his rage was taking his heart, making him lose his control. This guy will pay even more for making Yuri cry! He remembered Yuri’s purple eyes and bruised body, and the tears rolling down her cheeks. The memory made him clench his teeth.
"How many times have you kicked her stomach with this leg?" Cassian grabbed his leg.
"No! Please! I-I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"
"You're sorry?" He smirked. "That means nothing to me" And he cut his leg off.
The guy screamed so loud that the whole block could hear. He was losing his senses due to pain, but Cassian hit him in the face to wake him up.
"Wake up! I'm not finished with you!" Cassian's glowing eyes made him fall into despair.
"No! Somebody help me! You monster! Die already!"
Cassian grabbed his last leg without saying anything, looking at him maliciously. And with one last Shadow Slicer, he cut his leg.
The guy passed out due to pain and blood loss. Satisfied, Cassian left him on the ground. Soon, someone would hear the commotion and ask for help. But until there, he still has work to be done. With his Shadow Fire, he started to set fire to the entire mansion. Walking calmly to the exit, the fire started to consume the house. Not satisfied, he set fire to the luxury cars. A loud explosion could be heard. From the outside, you could see the mansion being engulfed in blue flames.
Now, he was done.
~♦~
On the plane back to Korea, Cassian was smiling. His rage was now gone, leaving a feeling of satisfaction.
"Won't you say goodbye?" Moros asked.
Cassian looked out the window.
"There's no need"
The next day, news about a whole mafia being decimated was spreading through the world.
