So after that conflict I ran on top of the rooftops until there was a scream and grunt. I ran to the conflict once again finding a couple and a young boy getting mugged by a dude. I dropped my bag on the street, then jumped down on the mugger. Cause if the man to knock out on impacted. I grabbed the poor families things and hand it back to them. I walk over to my bag and slug it over my shoulder. I could hear the cries of the young boy behind me. I dig in my bag and grabbed a chocolate bar that I got for a rainy day. I walk back over to the family and kneel in front of the boy.
"Do you like chocolate?" I asked softly. He nodded his head.
"You know I was saving this for a rainy day. But I think you need it more than me. So can you promise that you try to stay brace for your parents. And look up to them as if they are the best superhero's in the world?" I told him.
I look at the parents while handing the boy the chocolate bar. Please take care of the boy, make sure he doesn't get hurt by your hands and love him with all your heart." I said.
They nodded their heads.
'What's your name?' They asked.
I gave a sad smile.
"I'm only a runaway that was tortured by those a kid should trust. I only go by runaway, so that is my name. My past name can only hurt me so it is in the past. So when they ask who saved you just say the runaway helped. I must go before I am found, and go to see if others are in need. Stay safe family and stick close to your bonds." I said. I climbed the ladder back to the roof. I let a lone tear fall down my cheek. I watch the family hug until the police show from the call the mother made during the fight. They talked to the police to see they had anxious faces. The family talked about me as if I saved the world by myself. With their faces lighting up with each mention. I gave a shake of my head with a small sad smile. I grabbed my bag and started hopping to other roofs running in the wind. For I am the run away.
