Darkov Challenges Milos
By: Raven Tepes Date: December 5, 2024, 5:22 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
In the past:
Before the gulag:
Darkov sat in a large wing back chair with a smile on his face
as his lieutenants run down with the weekly reports. Life has
been going well for him lately. All of the weaker mob bosses had
been paying tribute to him. Local businesses were all paid up on
their protection bills. No hooligans were trying to muscle in on
his territory. Life was good for him and Moskovskaya Orda
indeed.
Darkov: What about the west side? Are all businesses paid to
date? He said with a raised eyebrow and then sipped his drink.
Adrik: Yes, all businesses are paid through the month and
several have paid through the next three months.
Darkov: Very good. That is exactly what I want to hear. He said
as he took another sip of his drink.
Everything was gearing up for a beautiful day and didn’t seem
like anything could bring it down. But that peace of mind would
be shattered by a joint-effort strike by the Kremlin and
S.H.I.E.L.D. The fight began outside the headquarters of
Moskovskaya Orda with grunts and soldiers. The fight was led by
Clint and Natasha. The good guys were doing well until Darkov
and his elite decided to step in. His elites including Adrik
went out into the fight. They managed to overwhelm the mortal
warriors and capture Clint and Natasha. S.H.I.E.L.D. was
contacted by Darkov that he was in possession of two of their
agents. Darkov had too many runs in with S.H.I.E.L.D. and agents
like Clint and Natasha not to know agents when he saw them.
Spent a good long while torturing the two captured agents, but
that didn’t stop his leeriness about what S.H.I.E.L.D. had
planned next. He knew that their boss would send a rescue party
of specialists. Darkov didn’t expect that they were sending
Agent M. It was the first blast through the outer wall that made
Darkov aware that a bigger gun than he was expecting was coming
to the party.
Agent M fought his way through the grunts and the different
lieutenants. His suit used the perfect counter to each power
thrown at him. Even Adrik couldn’t exactly find an easy way to
defeat a now angry Agent M. Each elite fell one by one. Then
Agent M came to Darkov. He was under no kill orders and so far
hadn’t killed anyone. Now it was Darkov’s turn to fall. The
fight was grueling. Darkov found that Agent M’s suit was immune
to his power nullification which annoyed him.
Darkov: Ah, you are friends with those agents. Seems like a soft
point. I bet you have a woman too. Tell you what, comrade. I’ll
find your lady love, and then I’ll take real good care of her.
He said with a cold, sadistic tone of voice and look on his
beaten face. This was the final straw for Agent M.
Agent M: You can beat the cr@p out of me because I'll heal. You
can destroy my suit because Jarvis will just send another. You
can even blow up my bike because I have about six more in the
shop. M said in a dark, militaristic voice like a calm, p*ssed
drill sergeant as he forced his damaged battlesuit closer
towards Darkov the Butcher of Moscow. M: Now hurting my friends
and threatening to go after Peggy is one thing I can't tolerate.
M raised his battlesuit gloved right hand and blasted Darkov in
the face at point blank range with a crimson energy beam. M then
turned to Hawkeye as Darkov flew backwards through a brick wall
and walked towards an injured Hawkeye and Black Widow. M: Tell
Pilgrim that he owes Peggy and me a Hawaiian vacation for saving
your @sses and recharging fees for my crimson energy battery
core.
Darkov was captured and arrested at that point. He went through
trial and jury. He was found guilty on a list of charges and
sentenced to multiple life terms in the gulag… but that wouldn’t
hold Darkov for too long.
After the gulag:
Darkov found a kink in the guards’ duties and rotations. He also
managed to bribe a few guards to help Darkov, Adrik, and a
couple of lieutenants with escaping. The escape was fairly
simple once the power inhibitor collars were off. Darkov and his
men led a revolt against the guards and escaped into the cold
night. There a vehicle was waiting for him, driven by a loyal
grunt. Now for Darkov’s return to Moskovskaya Orda.
Darkov was very disappointed to hear how far down that his mafia
had fallen. The weaker mob bosses had gained their freedom and
no longer pay tribute. Many businesses no longer pay protection
money since a group called Bratva moved in to protect them for
far less. Darkov was furious to hear that they even lost Ivan
Morozov to S.H.I.E.L.D. Everything he had worked for was
stripped from him by S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent M, and now this Bratva.
Darkov screamed and shouted at all of his men that he had left,
but in the end, he gained the scary calm composure that he is
known for.
Darkov: I want to know more about this Bratva and who their
leader is. We will rebuild our forces and take back what is
rightfully ours once again. He says as he turns to his men and
Adrik. He then pours on the politician's charm and gives a
little speech to inspire his men. Darkov: I promised you all a
comfortable life after what many of us had been through. Some
went through the Weapon X program. Others of you gained your
strength from the streets. We went too soft over the time of
luxury. Now we must go back to our more bloody roots and take
back what is ours.
His men cheered for him and his speech. Soon Darkov’s men were
out seeking out Bratva members. Darkov’s men weren’t afraid to
kill for the information they sought after though Darkov ordered
the occasional murder to send a message. Darkov soon found out
that Milos Sojikov is the leader of Bratva. He vowed from that
moment on that Milos and Bratva would go down in mafia history
as a footnote. He ordered his men to kill anyone identifying
themselves as Bratva. This began Darkov’s war on Bratva in order
to restore his mafia back into top ranks again.
In the present:
Darkov has had fun with his little war on Bratva. The mafia
organization has proven tougher to kill off than he had
expected. He was proud of his men though as they managed to gain
more control of certain areas of Moscow again. The money began
flowing back in from businesses and a couple of minor local
bosses. Adrik had been keeping the books tight and fresh with
daily updates to funds, profits, and expenditures. Life was
definitely getting better for Darkov and his men again though
they were basically scrounging their ways back to the top.
Darkov woke up in good spirits this day after a particularly
bloody attack on a different rival mafia.That resulted in the
weaker boss agreeing to pay tribute to Darkov. Today Darkov felt
like tracking down Milos and challenging him to a fight. He had
breakfast and discussed his idea with Adrik. Darkov: Adrik, I
think today would be a good day to meet with Milos Sojikov and
have a discussion about his surrender of certain territories of
Moscow.
Adrik looks at Darkov with great suspicion. Darkov has been
adamant that Bratva must be completely destroyed. Adrik wonders
why Darkov suddenly wants to have a talk with Milos. Adrik: I
think that is a fine idea, sir. I shall get a hold of his people
and arrange a meeting.
Darkov: Personally I would like to talk to him today while I am
in a good mood. Darkov says coolly to Adrik and then sips his
coffee.
Adrik: I shall see if that is possible, sir, but that seems like
such short notice. We don’t have a neutral meeting spot and
arranged security. This seems a bit brash even for you, sir. He
replies with a coolness equal to Darkov’s.
Darkov: Fine. You make the arrangements, but somewhere outside
of Moscow. I want it to be secluded so the cops and government
don't catch wind of what is going on. Do I make myself clear,
Adrik? He says with a more annoyed tone of voice after giving in
to Adrik. Darkov then sips his coffee and eats more of his
breakfast, leaving Adrik to figure out the details.
Message to Milos:
To Milos Sojikov:
This is a formal invitation to parley a negotiation of permanent
territorial boundaries. This will hopefully end any conflict
between Moskovskaya Orda and Bratva. Please meet with our
leader, Darkov Lukavyy, at the old abandoned paper mill just
outside of Moscow tomorrow at noon. Failure to show will result
in the breakdown of possible future negotiations. Thank you for
your time.
Darkov, Adrik, and several grunts await to see if Milos decides
to meet with Darkov or not. Darkov is excited about this meeting
as he wants it to lead to a fight between the two leaders.
Darkov wants to prove just who is the stronger mobster and will
even use his charm that inhibits his power suppression at first
to make things more fair for Milos. Adrik hopes that Milos shows
up and that everything goes peacefully and smoothly… but with
Darkov here, this could end up being any man’s guess on the
outcome of today.

Theme: Bratva Brothers (
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2y7tCIcz-M
)
"So... After attacking Bratva, now he wants to talk? I don't
suppose it's because he's sorry for actions against Bratva?"
Those were Milos' joking words when getting the invitation,
which hid his anger at the nerve of Darkov to request
negotiation after having essentially declared war on the Bratva.
He saw what people like Darkov could do to an organization.
Hell, Milos saved the Bratva from a man similar to Darkov who
only cared about his own power authority.
Milos Sojikov, a Russian known only as "Blank". A man not easy
to track down since he had no family outside of the Bratva, and
no one to connect him to any particular place. It is believed
that he is a myth among the governments of Russia. Groups like
the KGB and the Russian Police had nothing on him. A blank spot
in the name of the rumored head of the Bratva. He was a Russian
boogeyman to the Russian government for a long time. Milos was
like an arctic wolf in the blizzard. Stalking and killing while
being hidden in the snow, never to be found.
Rumors of Milos started as describing him as a monster of the
night. A monster of the snow. No one knew if he was human, but
it wasn't till recently that some had figured out that he was a
werepyre, one that had no origins. He had no mother, no father,
except the Bratva. The first memory he had was his mother
looking at him in disgust, as though scoffing at the abomination
that Milos was. So Milos gave up any connection to his past when
the Bratva brought him in.
However, today was different. Darkov had called out Milos, and
had killed and tortured Bratva members to get to him. This had
gotten personal, and for the first time in a long time, Milos
was ready to start a war to avenge their fallen brethren if need
be. And Milos knew it would probably be needed. There was no way
Darkov would back down and submit to the Bratva for his crimes.
As Milos approached the meeting place, he walks up, a group of
arctic wolves surrounding the place. After a moment, Milos pets
one of the wolves.
Milos: Thank you, my friends. But you don't deserve to be caught
in war. Care for your brothers and sisters. As I care for mine.
He says as he walks.
However, the wolves, fiercely loyal to Milos, were ready to call
in reinforcements if needed, and would not back down. Hidden in
the snow were creatures ready to die to fight for what they
believed in, including polar bears that were willing to stand up
for Milos. As though waiting for the call, they stand ready...
As Milos walks in to the sawmill, he takes out mostly empty
bottle of his vodka. He takes a glass and pours himself a drink
of the remaining vodka. Upon walking up to Darkov, Milos drinks
the vodka, and then tosses the glass and the now empty bottle of
vodka on the ground.
It was normally Milos' way to bring a drink to peace talks.
Pouring himself a drink, and not Darkov, was a direct insult to
Darkov, not acknowledging him as being an equal.
Drinking the alcohol, but not toasting, was a direct insult to
Darknov, not acknowledging him as worthy of the Bratva customs.
Throwing the bottle and the glass on the ground, not throwing it
in the trash, was a direct insult to Darkov, not caring about
respecting Darkov's location.
Emptying the vodka bottle, not saving any vodka for Darkov, was
a direct insult to Darkov, not wanting to share anything good
with Darkov.
Milos then takes out a cigarette and lights it.
Not even five seconds... Milos had already insulted Darkov four
times by his actions alone...

Darkov takes the four insults with stride as he knew that they
would be coming. He instead holds out his left hand, snaps his
fingers, and is handed a glass by Adrik. Adrik then pours a fine
vodka into the glass for Darkov. Darkov: Such strong actions
from one who joined an organizations of grunt soldiers. Darkov
refers to the fact that in Russia prior to the Bratva
organization that bratva refers to grunt soldiers, the lowest
rank in the mafia. This is meant as insult of his own to Milos
though he feels that this might not be as effective to Milos. He
then drinks his own vodka and hands the glass back to Adrik.
Darkov: Of course, I couldn't expect more from a man who would
be a ghost when running an organization instead of proudly
standing out from the grunts. He says with an appraising look at
Milos. Darkov: You sure that you are mafia boss because you look
more like a model.

Milos just chuckles. Milos: Good looks are gift to ladies. He
says jokingly. He then smokes his cigarette for a moment. But
don't mistake restraint for cowardice, my friend. He then smiles
to Darkov. I don't need to impose dominance to prove I am real
man. He says sarcastically, which was another insult, this time
to Darkov's methods.

Darkov: You are a man? Milos, you're about as intimidating as a
tofu marshmallow in a pillow fight—soft, squishy, and likely to
be forgotten in the dust of a feather. Darkov says to Milos with
a bit of snideness in his voice. Darkov: Calling you a poor
excuse for a mafia crime boss is like saying a soggy meatball is
a poor excuse for a cannonball; you just don't have the right
stuff to make the splash or the impact. Darkov then pulls out a
cigarette, a lighter, and lights the cigarette. He takes a deep
inhale and exhales directly in Milos's face as the final blow of
his insult. Darkov: You should just return the portions of my
territory that you took, and we'll call it a day.

Milos smokes his cigarette, and doesn't seem to care when Darkov
breathes in his face. Milos: Not intimidating... I am, how you
say, lovable. He says jokingly. But this is new feeling. No one
has ever called me 'model' or 'meatball.' Most find out I am
werepyre, and call me monster or abomination, then then try to
murder me. He says jokingly. He then takes one last puff of his
cigarette, and throws it into Darkov's drink to put it out,
which was yet another insult to Darkov. I did not take your
territory by force. I earned respect from others, not demand it
like chihuahua barking like loud dog. I earned my way to top of
Bratva. Even when man like you nearly destroyed us from inside,
I stay strong, and not let power control me. I've seen what men
like you can do. And yes, you are dangerous, but you wield power
without true strength. You could have come to Bratva before on
peaceful terms, we may have worked out deal if people wanted to
join your organization. But you attack Bratva first and expect
us to give you what you want? No... Bratva will seek retribution
or we will die trying. We will have justice to brothers you have
hurt or killed. You hurt Bratva brothers, you declare war on us.
He then smiles. Or maybe I have been hanging around my London
brothers (Kindron and Hei) too much. He says jokingly. I will
strike at what you hold dear. Every Bratva blood spilled, you
will lose everything. You are not only one who has been busy
researching enemy. I know what makes you tick... What makes all
men like you tick.

Darkov: Good luck finding anything that I hold more dear than
pure murder. He says with a chuckle and takes another puff of
his cigarette. Darkov: And you are no monster. I've met true
monsters among humans, and you are not one just because you are
werepyre. You are more like puppy than monster. Darkov says as
he removes his jacket and hands it to Adrik. He then takes
another puff of his cigarette. Darkov: As for retribution for
your men, your people have hurt and killed just as many of my
men so we even. But if you want more then we will find out who
stronger man is soon enough, comrade.
Adrik takes Darkov's jacket but also whispers a word of warning.
Adrik: This is bad idea, Darkov. We should not push our luck.

---------------------------------------------------------
Milos chuckles at Darkov's comment about him not being a
monster. Milos: This is what I try to tell people, that I am not
monster. It is nice change of pace not to have that conversation
again. Compared to my teacher, Wolfwing, I am like poodle in
comparison. He says jokingly. He then gets serious. We retaliate
against you for attacking Bratva. Organization before you was
much more willing to talk than you, who attack first and talk
later. He then smiles. I know that you don't care for others...
Men like you only care for one thing: Power. He says as he
smokes his cigarette. He then takes a moment. So Bratva will not
hurt your people... We will turn your people against you. Bratva
already infiltrate your organization, and will confuse your
organization, until you are forced to attack blind at members to
root out Bratva. Some people will attack others in your name,
while others will hide from your name to confuse you. Some will
be Bratva that you kill. Others will be your own men. And as you
kill your own men, you will be forced to either become better
leader to not let Bratva tear you apart from inside, or you will
fail as leader and be cast out by your own organization. And let
me tell you, almost no one I've seen become good leader when
Bratva are forced to infiltrate and tear apart organizations
from inside, because you will make mistakes in panic when we
attack what you hold most dear: Your power over others. We could
come after you directly, but we won't. We will fight secret war,
and you will kill both Bratva and your men to remove Bratva.
Until you killing your men has left them with no choice but to
cast you out to keep themselves safe. And when you are left out
in cold, you won't be killed by Bratva... You will be killed by
your own men. You will not be leader, but as pathetic dog,
stomped on like roach by those who were loyal to you in the
past. And then Bratva justice will be complete. Organization
that is attacked openly can be fixed, and gain support. But
organization that breaks apart from inside, cannot be restored.
And until that happens, Bratva will do best not to attack you,
but only defend ourselves when you attack us. He explains to
Darkov. It wasn't clear if the Bratva had already infiltrated
his organization or not, or if Milos was bluffing, but either
way, it was clear that Milos had a plan of attack that showed he
had taken down other organizations in the past.

---------------------------------------------------------
Darkov: Why are you telling me your plan? Has anyone ever told
you that you talk too much? Darkov says in a sarcastic tone with
a bit of chuckle. The questions are rhetorical so he continues
as he takes another drag off his cigarette and begins to remove
his shirt. Darkov: Your Bratva will have difficult time
infiltrating my organization between strict bloodline
requirements and Truth Seeker. No one gets a lie pass Truth
Seeker, not even myself. So good luck trying to infiltrate, and
pardon if your people do not report back to you. He says as he
unbuttons his shirt and takes off his tie. Darkov: You honestly
think that I would let just anyone join my organization is a big
mistake. My mistrust of the world has led me to recruiting Truth
Seeker to hunt down all lies. Truth Seeker is powerful in
finding truth and fiercely loyal to me because I rescued Truth
Seeker from a real monster. So now that secret war more
difficult and open war will destroy most of Moscow. How about we
settle this like true Russian men? No powers. No special trained
martial arts. Just two Russian men upholding tradition. Darkov
would be talking about the art of Russian slap boxing, an art
where two men slap each other across the face until one is
knocked out. He then removes his shirt as he takes another drag
and exhales as he folds and hands his shirt to Adrik. Black
magic tattoos cover Darkov's chest, each one a summoning sigil
of a lieutenant in Belial's armies. The final tattoo can be seen
when Darkov turns to hand his shirt to Adrik and the is a
summoning sigil of Belial himself. All the tattoos radiate dark
black magic.
Adrik: Please be sensible, Darkov. This is very unnecessary.
Adrik pleads as he takes the shirt from Darkov. The last thing
Adrik needs today is to be picking Darkov up off the ground
because he got knocked. Adrik feels that he'll need a stiff
drink of vodka after this.

Milos: Good to know. Bratva will find way around. Thanks for
info. He says as Darkov explains the inability to lie around
Truth Seeker. You should listen to your companion though... He
sounds like sensible man. He says to Darkov about Adrik,
noticing that Adrik didn't seem that bad compared to Darkov.
Milos then sighs at the mention of Russian slap boxing, and
finishes his cigarette before throwing what was left of it to
the side. He then notices the dark magic sigils. Milos: No
powers huh? Am I supposed to ignore dark magic coming off your
body? He asks jokingly. He then gets serious and sighs. This
will solve nothing, you know... We are both just going to be
slapping each other until end of time. I don't think normal
slaps will knock down either one of us.
