Iron Maiden

Planning Ahead, and Alleyways

Remember when I said nothing will stop me from becoming Iron Man? Well, I found one thing that can. Death. I explained in my last chapter that I almost died because of my reckless decision to not accept Tony's warnings, and now I am regretting another poor choice I made when it comes to alleyways.

Currently, I am running through an alleyway. My shirt is torn, my body is tired and bruised up, my arms are scratched up to hell, my legs are about to give out, and sleeping sounds so nice right now.

I run over glass and kick beer bottles out of my way. I tip over a trash can that I pass by as I see a fence coming up in my field of vision. I jump and instantly start to climb it as I nearly avoid the hand that tries to grip my ankle. I look behind me and see that they are starting to climb the fence as well. Without wasting anymore time, I begin to run again. How long are these damn alleyways?!

I turn a corner and see cars zooming by. Finally, the public streets. With my last remaining energy, I push my legs past their limits and sprint towards the streets. Right as I am about to exit the alley, I feel something wrap itself around my waist, and then around my mouth. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" I try to yell out as I am yanked back into the alleyway and onto the ground where three young men have all surrounded me while looking down on me, all of them panting heavily. All have visible bruises and blood from the damage I inflicted on them earlier, and their clothing being torn too.

I feel no energy to stand up as I stare at the trio above me in anxiety, pain, and fear. I feel so helpless as I have no one to turn to. Not my mom, my dad, Tony, or even Sprocket.

"You are one god damn tough lady." One of them says to me in a voice that sounded rather soothing, which is very ironic given the situation. He had a light tan skin, long sleek dark hair, a toned out body, brown hazel eyes, about average height, and from the way his arms have stretched out to grab me I'd say his Quirk is stretchable limbs. He wore expensive running shoes, high-quality jeans, and a black long sleeve shirt.

"You really did give us a fight. I would not have expected much from a lass like you." Another says to me. He was a taller, bigger build as his muscles were clearly showing as was his rough accent and rough, long, red hair and blue eyes. He wore brown boots, a ripped pair of jeans, a white tank top, and a hat that said 'Asskicker' on it. His Quirk is still unknown to me.

"Too bad your time has run out." The leader of the group I would presume; a pale skinned male. The first guy looked to be high middle class, but this one was obviously a rich punk. He was literally wearing a tuxedo with a flower attached to his shirt. He had gloves on his hands too with a golden wrist watch, and fancy shoes. His voice spelled that of one who has been spoiled his entire life. His blonde hair was done, until I messed it up in the scuffle I got into with him. Before it became a mess, he had a high skin fade with a long, thick comb over. His eyes were green and piercing. How he was able to keep up with me running in that get up? His Quirk is levitation. Though he can float, it did not make him any faster. He was rather slow to be honest.

The fancy one spoke up again, "Hirogaru, keep her mouth shut and her limbs trapped." Before I could say anything, Hirogaru, the one with the stretchy limbs, wrapped his arms around over my mouth and around my body to secure my arms and legs together. I struggled in his grip, but to no avail as my exhausted body would not break his grasp.

"Hey, Koi. Help lift this chick up. She may not look like it, but she's kinda heavy." Hirogaru spoke as Koi; the muscle of the group, lifted me up with ease. Hirogaru chuckled a bit, "Then again, I wouldn't be surprised. Her boobs are massive man, double d's." I blush in embarrassment and in fury by this creep inspecting my body.

Koi laughs with him as the rich one just snickers. "She'd make a perfect babe if she knew her place in life."

The rich one speaks as they drag me back deeper into the alleyway. "Though I am sure after this, she will learn." He says as he looks at me whilst I look at him back. I stare back at him with ire as I struggle a bit more as he simply smiles at me with lust in his eyes. "Maybe I'll teach you where you stand in this system."
