I was looking over the edge of the building, up so high the city looking like a colony of ants below me. I was on the roof of a particularly tall skyscraper, right on the edge. The words Jump, Jump, Jump repeating over and over in my mind. Shattering my thoughts Alexia screamed from behind me, 

"JUST JUMP! NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU NOW!" and she cackled in that evil laugh she used when picking on a kid, like she regularly did at our school with her twin brother Allen. They are the 'coolest' kids at school, but if we're being honest they're only popular because everyone is scared of them. Why are they picking on me on Friday night? Why not hang out with popular kids? Or pick on someone else? Anyone else...

"GOD YOU"RE SUCH A FUCKING NERD! NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU NOT EVEN THE AVENGERS HAHAHA!!" Allen yelled, breaking me from my thoughts once more, but avengers? Who the fuck are the avengers?  They both cackled and laughed as I  shook, still looking over the edge. 


What am I supposed to do?  If I jump they won't bother me anymore, I won't be deprived of food at my foster home, I won't be beaten and physically and mentally abused every day, I would finally be able to rest ...peaceful. That sounded nice but there are still things that I would miss out on in the real world, things that could improve. Like I will never get to join the volleyball team, or learn how to cook, or maybe one day find someone who loves me.  I'm too fat to join the volleyball team anyway, I think. 

Rolling up my sleeves, I peered upon the scars that were plastered on and thought about how they marked my skin forever, fuck it I thought. I turned around flicked them off and jumped. "See you in hell!" I shouted as I plummeted towards the ground from the building.

"HOLY SHIT!!" they both screamed, and rushed towards the edge of the building watching me fall. 

40 feet, 30 feet, 20 feet, 15 feet from the ground and I was swept from mi-air, by a... robot? "No, no please just drop me, let me go" I pleaded, still in shock by the odd savior. And was- was I FLYING right now?!

"Tony did you catch the kid?!" an urgent female voice spoke from inside the robot. "yes, pepper I caught her, don't worry, I am on my way to the hospital currently and I will call you later, okay?"

All the while during this conversation I was staring at the robot carrying me, when it tapped the side of it's helmet and said something. "Friday give me all the information you can on the girl that jumped" I looked at the robot, was this a suit? I wondered "Yes Boss, Name: Winter Adams, Parents: Deceased, Guardians: Madame Blue and Mr. Rag at New York's Home for Troubled Girls, home for 10 years, Age: 14 years, Birthrate: August 18th, She has also had two hospital visits in the last year for attempted suicide" I stared at the robot amazed by how much it knew. "Kid! What the hell were you thinking?!" The robot finally looked at me after tapping the side of his helmet removing a face plate, revealing that it was in fact a suit. Not in the mood to get yelled at I rolled my eyes and bashed my head against the next building we passed, the concrete hitting my scull HARD.
