Oh, it had always been about revenge, for one thing or another. But the incident with Snaky was the one thing that has always stuck out for Black Shadow, and now, to hear Falcon deny it was just...just...
"GRAAAAH!" His noise of rage was inarticulate, and was accompanied by him swinging his arm down hard on the desk. The flimsy furniture nearly imploded under his fist. His other arm then shot out and grabbed Falcon around his throat. The little bit of control that Black Shadow had over himself was keeping the grip just tight enough to hurt, but not kill.
While reminding Falcon that he could kill him. If he really felt like it.
"Deserve? Deserve? I deserve nothing! What I have, I have earned! And so have you. Your vigilante act has earned you the attention of some dangerous people, people who each would give an arm to see you dead and buried! And what I have earned is the chance to beat them all to the punch! If not me Falcon, then others. Countless others! People who won't show you the mercy of not destroying you right away. People who would never let you live long enough to know what was going to happen after they killed you!"
His rant seemed to calm him down a little, but he didn't relax his grip. "You're quite lucky in fact...I'll be willing to kill you and leave without touching your friends or family here....And all you have to do is beg for my mercy. Consider it a parting gift for being such a challenging adversary."
