Next Day in the City.

Ethan was in the city, heading back to Afterlife for a drink.

Rebecca and Beca were heading back to the hideout.

He gave them a bag of clothes and a case that he got from... Somewhere.

He was wearing his outfit without the mask.

As he walked up to the doors the bouncer stared at him and moved aside.

Ethan entered and walked up to the bar and saw Claire.

"Well well, if it isn't the Phantom Spyder." Claire smirked as Ethan took a seat.

"My usual." Ethan nodded.

"Coming right up... You know I thought you were a arrogant little shit who would die when things got rough but look at you." She placed the glass in front of him.

Ethan took the glass and took a sip. "Thanks for the confidence." Ethan chuckled.

"I'll admit, that was really stupid... Reminds me of my ex." Ethan turned and saw the owner, Rouge sitting next to him.

"Well, I was looking to do something to put my name up there." Ethan smirked.

"And you did, but now you'll be hunted." Rouge raised an eyebrow.

"Let them try." Ethan's eyes flashed red for a moment.

"... Well, if you do kick it, Phantom Spyder will be our newest addition." Claire grinned.

"I won't die anytime soon." Ethan retorted, he looked at Rouge. "By the way, who's your ex?" Ethan asked.

Rouge smirked. "Nosey aren't you... Well if you must know, it's Johnny."

"Silverhand." Ethan hummed as he smirked back. "Well then, expect a surprise tomorrow."

Rouge frowned at that.

Ethan turned to his drink and then he saw a beautiful woman walk up to Rouge.

"Rouge you got anything for me?" Panam asked Rouge.

"Nothing today." Rouge responded.

"Damn." Panam cursed and then saw Ethan staring at her. "What?"

"Nothing." Ethan smiled. "Just admiring a beauty."

Panam snorted. "That's a new one." She then looked at this attire and narrowed her eyes. "You're the Phantom Spyder.."

"One and only." Ethan nodded with a wink.

"... You're smaller then I expected." Panam crossed her arms.

Ethan gave her a dull stare. "Well I'm stronger then I look." Ethan finished his drink. "Can I buy you a drink?" Ethan offered.

"... No." Panam walked out.

"... Never seen a conversation fail that quick." Rouge smirked.

"Eh, wasn't trying." Ethan shrugged and got a message, he pulled his mask over his head and it was from Beca.

"Gotta go, thanks for the drinks." Ethan placed some money on the counter and walked out.

"... Weird kid." Rouge rolled her eyes but saw Claire keeping her eyes on Ethan.

"And what are you looking at?"

"... His suit is tight." Claire bit her lip.

"Back to work."

Ethan made it to the hideout and opened the door. He saw the Edgerunners staring at something in the corner of the room.

"So you're the bastard who offed Smasher and blew up Arasaka tower." A voice called out.

Ethan saw Johnny Silverhand walked out, his silver arm prosthetic attached and in his old outfit of a black shirt and pants.

"Phantom Spyder." Ethan introduced himself.

"Real name, not alias." Johnny glared.

Wow way different from John Wick... Ethan took off his mask and placed it in his jacket pocket, taking out a box of cigarettes and he threw it over.

Johnny caught it and looked it over. "Not my usual brand but..." He took one and Ethan walked over, producing a flame in one finger and lighting it for him.

"... This is unreal." David muttered, meeting this legend was a lot.

"... You're younger then I thought kid." Johnny commented

"This kid broke into Arasaka, stole something of great importance, killed Adam Smasher and blew up the tower." Ethan glared.

"Fair enough, how did you know that the chip contained my mind?" Johnny asked.

"My beautiful A.I." Ethan opened his palm and Cortana appeared, she bowed. "She should be read in a few minutes sir."

"Great." Ethan closed his palm and looked at Johnny.

"... So why bring me back?" Johnny asked Ethan.

"That's what I want to know." Maine crossed his arms.

"Nothing, I just did it, I wanted to fuck over Arasaka and I did, if they want to come after me, I tell them to bring it." Ethan smirked.

"... Kid your crazy..." Johnny took a drag of his cigarette.

"So I'm told... This crew can help you get on your feet... Right?" Ethan looked at the Edgerunners who glared at him.

"... Fine." Maine waved his hand.

"Oh and Lucy." Ethan waved his hand, Lucy blinked and gasped.

"Leaves in a week, better get packing." Ethan crossed his arms.

Lucy grabbed David's hand and pulled him away.

Ethan looked at Johnny. "By the way, drop by the Afterlife and visit your ex." Ethan then produced a chip from his guantlet and handed it to Johnny. "There, you'll need this."

Johnny took the chip and examined it before putting it in, he blinked before his eyes widened.

"You two have some catching up to do... I'll be on my way, Beca." Ethan turned to his girlfriend, who nodded and got up and bumped fist with her double. "See ya around."

"How can I contact you?" Johnny asked.

"..." Ethan rolled his eyes and looked at Beca who nodded and her eyes flashed. "My number." She said.

"Contact her to get to me." Ethan waved and the two left.

"... You sure this is the best thing to do?" Beca asked him.

"We'll come back in... A few days." Ethan tapped his chin. "Right now I have to prepare for the delivery." Ethan said as they got in Beca's ride and drove off.
