When i was younger i grew up watching all these superhero movies. Iron man, avengers, Dc movies like the Dark knight trilogy and others. At the time the first movies made their appearance i was around 8. (iron man 2008) its 2017 now. Im 17. And iv learned about the world. How much hatred their is in it. From friends and familys having experienced things. One day i was on my way home from school, this started last year. 16. Jr year of highschool. Up in Chicagos north side. When they decided to choose an easy target. Me.

East Campus 3:40
"Hey, Kid can you give us some directions"
It was sketchy, but i walked up to the van anyways. "yeah sure were to"
"to your mansion rich boy"

My parents a millionaires working in a company selling weapons i disapprove of.

"im not at liberty to say" i laugh. Im a smart ass.
"Kid, come on"
When i was smaller i went through a lot, and this was reminding me of it. When i was 8 up until i was 15.
"what? You want money or something come on do you know who my parents are their very powerful people"
They look at me
"we know kid thats why" the doors open and 2 guys step out, both pale with crew cuts and armt boots with a level 1 bullet proof vests.
"come on"
I look at them. "aww shit, i think im late for mt bus" i shove one of the guys and run, i try to get to my friends car, he was waiting for me.
"AFTER HIM SMART ASSES"
The guy driving pulls around the other 2 follow running behind me. The car pulls up. THUMP* "Shit man come on OH SHIT" i try to dart for the other direction but the 2 are on my ass. One hits me in the gut and i hit him back, we throw a few punches, i catch most of his. Then the other guy pulls me off.
"i have a pice kid"
He shows me his pistol and the other guy already has his with a silencer.
"alright, man dont be so tough"
One of them takes my phone from my jacket and turns it off.
"lets go boss, what if someone sees from this preppy school"
We drive. They hit my face and i pass out.

8:30pm location/unknown
"hey buddy awaken"
"Alright guys what do yous want"
"just some money, pay back for your parents"
"huh?"
They take off their ski masks and the driver looks at me. He seems confused. He doesnt seem like he wants to be here.
"just hurry guys we gotta move or the cops might show"
Im tied down to a chair.
"zipties, and rope, very origional"
They look at me.
"we need you to call your mom, here whats the number, then put me"
"ooooo"
He cut me off
"do it ORRR else"
I call. "hi mom... can you talk to these people for me"
"yes, this is margret"
"we need you to place 5,000 dollars in an account, 7899345, we have your son, photos have been sent, you have 3 hours if done so in that time he will be sent free if not. Lets hope he can handle pain"
"im... okay..."
"ill call back in 3 bye!"
Then they tie my arms with rope again.
They look at Me. Im scanning both of them, thinking of their next skill. I cant take them on im smaller, 6ft tall 200 athletic vs the 400 pounds dwayn the rock johnson looking guys. All 3. I cant escape. Its been  2 and a half hours. I heard one guy say.
"maybe the mother needs an incentive"
They start recording and one pulls a knife, he jams it into my shoulder but on the muscle part, he makes sure it hurts but doesnt injure me to where i can still move my arm. This is torture.
"30 min, and counting... have fun"
He then looks at me. Looks at my arm and goes mental. He starts asking me questions, running the knife past my body. He then slowly cuts into my arm, he goes from the wrist 6 inches down, untill his friend stops him.
"AH SHIT STOP WHAT THE UGH"
"dude stop dont hurt him. What if he bleeds out"
"i have an idea"
He pulls out a staple gun.
"no no... please, aw fuck"
He stappes 3 into my arm. "uhg"
They look at me aince i dont scream.
"spah"
"okay! STOP!"
4 in my arm keeping me from bleeding out.
"times up, thanks for your generous donation, your son is going to be left at..."
They hang up... they untie me and put me in their van. They cover my head and drive.
"here yes, its an example"
They push me out of their car and and i go back to sleep.
*police sirens ambulance*
"HEY, BUDDY, HEY, WAKE UP, Tony! Your mom is here"
I woke up to this cop. An ambulance is waiting on me, a crowd of people around, im on the school grounds. Its 10. 2 hours after school starts. My mom is next to me tears in her eyes and helps me up. "lets take you to the hospital"
All my peers watching. Half of them unknowing what happened the other half confused since they didnt know my parents were millionaires. The police make a detail and push the kids back even more. When i see my friend jasmin, she looks at me like it was her fault. The teachers trying to get everyone to go home that school was off today.
"my beautiful boy"
"mom, im tired"
I get taken away. Everyone watching. Im nervous. Slightly scared, this isnt new to me but it is.
"you cant sleep we have to check you if theirs trauma"
And the ambulance doors are still open my sitting on the side the doctor checking. Saying shell take me once my mother finishes giving her statement to the police. 
"Are you okay Tony"
"yes. Im just tired and slightly confused"
"you sure you arent traumatized, this was an experience few people get" the nurse says.
"im fine" she closes the doors. "son ill be there" my dad says.
I leave with the nurse in the ambulance.

"margret. Sweetie. This is an awakening. We have to do something, the city needs a donation to the police. Im going to set up an auction and im going to donate the profits to the police. Everyone benifits" "okay Robert but, our son. Tony, what abour Zoey, Or Katie... Driver to the hospital please"
"Tonys Fine, after all he is my son. Hes strong"
"youre right. But i just feel bad for him, having to go through this. Why was he even the target"
"maybe. Its the company. Maybe making weapons pisses people off. And being millionaires. Makes people want hand outs"
"lets worry about it later Robert. Right now, lets focus on being with our son, he might need us right now"
"actually i need to go to the company, i need to finish this prototype weapon, ill see you for dinner though... driver stop right here" "okay MR Pierce" "Ok, to the hospital Now" "on it ms Pierce"
