Gotta catch 'em all

(4 years later)

A raven-haired, red-eyed boy was seen skipping along the sidewalk, comically dragging a guitar case larger than him

"I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive"

Bobbing his head back and forth, he proceeded to approach a traffic cop, "Sir, how would I reach Kichijoji?"

After receiving directions, Damien continued walking, carefully crossing streets and cheerfully hopping about

People passing by, delightfully cooed at the adorable boy, who paid them no mind. Walking into an alleyway, Damien opened the apartment's backdoor and continued making his way to the rooftop

Once on the rooftop, he placed the guitar case on the floor, clicking it open and taking out sniper parts and carefully assembling them

"Ooh, a storm is threatening

My very life today

If I don't get some shelter

Ooh yeah I'm gonna fade away

War, children

It's just a shot away

War, children

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away"

Damien wore a pair of binoculars and patiently observed the street below. Suddenly a fat man with a hunchback passed by his view

'That's our man, right?'

[I believe so]

Taking out his mobile phone, he verified the man to the picture on his phone

'That's him, alright'

Adjusting his sniper, he craftly took a shot

Bang!

The rapist fell dead

==================================================================================

(A week later)

Perched up on a rooftop once again, Damien waited for his prey. Suddenly he heard a loud commotion from across the street

Through the lens of his binoculars, he saw a man pin down a helpless woman

'Isn't he the man we were looking for?'

[Yes, he is]

Adjusting his gun, he got ready to take the shot, only to halt at the sound of a notification. Abruptly stopping, he admonishes Sofia

'Sofia, what did I tell you about distractions'

"Ho,Ho,Ho. We found ourselves a jackpot", Damien rubbed his hands together, and quickly took out an injection bullet

(Scared Woman POV)

I was terrified as the burly man forced himself on me. He tore through my dress, and the cold wind of the night grew chiller

"HELP", I hiccupped as loud as I could. I thrashed on the ground to throw him off me, but he was strong

"NOOO, PLEASE, NOOO", I pleaded, but my words did nothing but excite him

He struck me, a slap imprinted onto my face, "Stop moving or I'll kill ya"

I tasted the coppery-blood on the lips, it was my blood

As he unzipped his pants, I prayed to God, any God to come to my aid. Just then when all hope seemed lost, the man's face hit the asphalt floor hard. He was unconscious- or was he dead?

I skid away from him, catching my breath

Tap! Tap! Tap! I heard footsteps come my way. I panicked

"Don't worry. You're safe now", came a reassuring voice, a child's voice

Unsurprisingly, a little boy came into view. He wore a black outfit, covering his face with a self-made cat mask. He possessed glowing red eyes– or they appeared as such

He quietly approached me, sitting by my side, and taking out a first kid kit from a worn-out, brown bag. I let him treat me, as tears dripped down my face

"You're a brave woman. Go visit a hospital, get yourself checked for injuries, or a police station to report the crime", he said

He handed me a bar of chocolate, "Eat it"

Making his way to the man, he tightly tied him up, and started to drag him away

"What are you going to do?", I asked. He was a child, a little boy, and he saved me.

Looking back, he cutely tilted his head, "make sure he never hurts a beautiful woman again"

And just like that, he disappeared into the night. The kind little boy, with ruby coloured eyes. My Saviour
