The Outing (part 2)

Hope's pov

My heart was beating faster than I knew it could have, I was about to go up against a man twice my size without my quirk.

The man had his back to me.

I watched as his body contorted in many different ways, scaring small boy that was cowering in front of him. The man's finger became limp and his neck elongated before turning back to his original stance.

He must have a bone manipulation quirk

He hadn't noticed me, he was to busy laughing at the small boys tears of trauma as he messed with him.

I took a couple small steps toward the man, making sure to stay low and keep my breathing at a minimum.

If I can just find that nerve in his neck, I can knock him out

I quickly stragetized a plan to attack the man and found myself ready to execute it in seconds. When I was a couple feet away from him I stood up completly and launched myself off of my foot at the man.

My hand was extended towards his neck, as that was my main focus.

Before I could comprehend what was going on, the man was no longer in front of me and I went tumbling onto the cement beneath me, dangerously close to the edge of the roof.

To my left was the boy, still shaking. His face was stained with tears and his eyes were making more.

"Are you okay?" I asked him softly.

He just looked at me terrified, a small cry escaping his lips. My attention was drawn from him when I heard a raspy laugh.

I looked up to meet the mans gaze, he was closer to me than I thought and I was closer to the edge of the roof than I'd like to be but my main focus was on getting the boy in a safe space, which definitely wasn't here.

Before I could think of a good escape plan the man reached for me and I tumbled under inbetween his legs to dodge. The man looked back at me with an insane toothy grin

"This'll be fun" was all he said before tripping me with his leg. I watched from my back as he stepped closer to me, his hand turning as sharp as a spike and his fingers disappearing. I extended my leg and kicked him in the crotch. Once he backed down a bit I aimed a punch for his face, hitting his nose dead on but he didn't fall back from the force. Infact, my hand actually hurt more than it should have from a punch to the face.

That was when I realized his nose had transformed into a sturdy looking small block. I looked back at my hand and noted my purple fingers

Well those are broken for sure

The pain hadn't hit me and hopfully it wouldn't hit me until this was over, right now my adrenalin powered all of my moves.

While I was looking at my hand the man punched me in the face, hitting a cheek bone and making me step back

Bakugo hits harder

I realized that now I was playing a game of cat and mouse with him. There was no way I could beat him with force so the only choice was to dodge his attacks while some how taking the kids to safety

Easier said than done

He tried to grab my neck but I grabbed his wrist and pivoted off of it. Then he went for a gut punch and I ducked, dropping to the ground and sweeping my foot under him making him fall.

I took this as my chance and ran to the shaking boy, reaching out to pick him up only to be pulled back by my collar. I could feel my body lift from the ground and I skid across the roof.
