The Vigilante...

Bam! Cards on the floor. "Hand it over Kid! I'm not gonna say it again!" The man ordered as he grabbed the 12 year old child by his shirt and got right up to his face as the man's partner stood by on the lookout

"Plea-.. I-.. I don't have it.. My dad took it.." the boy said as he tried to hold back a tear.. One small tear slowly went down his cheek as he was very intimidating by the two older men confronting him

"Well Where's your daddy huh?..is he in one of those crazy houses?" the man chuckled as he made fun of the kid's father as they knew his dad had a not so sane mentality.

Suddenly a figure dropped down from a roof..wasn't a huge drop but definitely had an impact on landing. The figure wore all black and covered his appearance well with hints of red in his 'armour'

The lookout man who was around 20-22 years old looked over in awe before realising it who it was.. "Ay Joey! It's the fucking crime fighter. 'Oh it's my hero!'" the man would mockingly say before taking out his wrench. "Well aren't you gonna do something buddy?" the man smirked.

Joey looked at the kid and quietly threatened him that if he were to run then Joey and his accomplice would come after him and his crazy father. Joey turned to look at the figure as he laughed at how ridiculous this situation had gotten. "Carmine, show this stupid asshole what we do to 'heros' around here."

Carmine gripped onto his wrench before going to strike the figure as the figure quickly used a grappling device built into the right forearm of his 'suit' as it pulled Carmine right to him. The figure then shut him down with a ferocious punch with his left hand before hitting him in his face again and again and again and...again..and..again as the Carmine's face had blood coming out of it as the man was barely able to breathe due to the beating he took.

Joey, now in shock as he had just seen his longtime friend get punched to death. Joey charged the figure and pushed him against the wall as he delivered a punch to the figure's mid section.

The figure groaned before kneeing Joey and punching him across his face.

Joey quickly recovered and hit the figure in the face.

The figure stumbled back as Joey had actually hurt his eye from the blow. He saw Joey run to him with his elbow out. The figure ducked and turned before just managing to grab Joey and slam him into the ground as the criminal groaned out in pain. The fight was done.

The figure got up and stretched his arm as he definitely suffered some damage from the tussle. He looked over at the kid who was now even more scared after seeing the raw vengeance and anger this figure had. The kid began running as the Figure called out to him. "Hey!.. Come back here Kid"

The child took deep breaths but after seeing what the figure did to Joey and Carmine.. He wouldn't have went through all that trouble to just kill the kid now right?.. He walked up to the figure and gulped as he felt his heart beat twice as fast. He looked up to him with fear in his eyes as the figure didn't necessarily look huge and intimidating but rather lean and had this gaze which was just..ominous.
