Impossible Fates Become Reality

Fateful Encounters

Rin ran as fast as her feet could carry her, bounding through the dense crowd of people as she looked for even the smallest sign of being able to disappear. She looked over her shoulder to see if her pursuer was still chasing her, hopefully she would be able to take a break and figure something out. When she focused behind her she saw the man was still hot on her heels, his fucking scarf the only give away that he was even there.

What a fucking dick. He could at least bail out or stop running after her. Maybe.

"What's the matter Erasure? Getting slow in your old age maybe!" Shouting at the Hero was probably a stupid idea. She wasn't doing much better herself. She was slowing down and loosing control over her thoughts. Not being able to think straight and find a way out so she could stop running.

She finally notice a split big enough in the crowd that she could slip through and break for the near by alley. If she could just get into it with out him noticing she would be alright. She could relax and be able to work her way home. She focused on the gap and imagined the alley entrance on the other, she cleared her mind of anything else and focused on just the alley way. When the image became clear in her head she snapped her fingers, activating her quirk, and warped to the entrance of the alley. With less than a split second of time to celebrate she took off further into the small gap between the buildings and found a space big enough to crouch down and hide. She inhaled slowly and tried to control her breathing. She needed to calm down, if she didn't relax and let her mind be clear her quirk would be useless.

"You didn't really think I would loose sight of you that easily. I'm almost insulted you thought it would be that simple." Erasure's voice broke through the silence of the dark alley.

FUCK!! How did he see me jump? How in the fuck did he not loose me in the crowd when I jumped!! That's not possible.

Rin stayed deathly still and silenced any and all sounds that she made. He doesn't know where she is exactly. He only knows that she came back here. If she's lucky he wont find her and move on, he might give up thinking she bailed out the back entrance of the alley and kept going. Maybe. She wanted to try and peak around her hiding spot, she would be able to see where he is and be able to avoid him.

Whatever she planned on doing was quickly and forcably halted. Erasure had found her and savagely pinned her to the wall behind her with his hand around her throat. The air was ripped from her lungs upon impact and she struggled to pull in a decent breath of air, his hand slowly crushing her windpipe.

"Found you." His words sounded dark and promised nothing but pain and suffering.

Yeah he might be a Hero, but that never stopped the man from being brutal in his captures. She'd seen the news articles and the claims that the fabled Erasurehead Hero was practically a Rogue within his own right. He never failed to capture any Villain he came across, and he also never failed to make an example out of each one of them. The Villains he captured were always badly beaten and broken, some barely holding onto life by the time the police showed up to detain them. It was a sign, a warning. If you happened to be on his shit list, you better pray that he was having a good day, it might be the only reason you walk away with your life intact.

Rin snapped out of her inner thoughts to focus on the situation at hand. She was severely FUCKED. He was at the biggest advantage of not only having her pinned, but he also had his quirk activated, so she couldn't blink away and try to make another run for it. Shit. Shit... shit... shit... shit shit! How the hell was she supposed to make it out of here.

"You better hope the police get here soon. Because if they don't, I can't promise your condition whenever they do finally arrive, Magician."
