Claws Out…

"You are gonna let the girl go! Now! She is better than being a hooker for your degenerate ass!"Suddenly Zebra Daddy grabs me by my collar and pulls me closer trying to intimidate me but seeing the situation for what it was I grabbed onto his collars as well since it's better this way without him being able to pull out his gun and when he realises that I've grabbed him back he gets angry and tries to wrestle me to the ground but I just stay standing as he starts trying to shake me, he lets one of his hand go and tries to reach back behind him to his gun but because of my arms he can't reach back to his gun and so settles for grappling with me again but this time trying to get a few punches in which I dodge while still holding onto him all the while the three girls are by the side watching but I'm not really paying attention to them. "Motherfucker, you're fucking dead! You hear me, dead! That little white bitch is gonna be my fuckin hooker and she's gonna make me cash, she wants to do it and she wants the money as well so fuck off and DIE!" Zebra Daddy yells out as we continue to fight and grapple each other in close quarters with our actions escalating every second, we are properly tussling now with me taking it easy and not using my powers since I don't particularly want to kill this guy but I will if I have to but I have to stop thinking about that when something unexpected happens. "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME OR WHAT I WANT! ARRGGGHH!!!" With a scream of rage the young girl we were both fighting over starts to rush over towards us at a starling speed and out of the corner of my eyes I can spot a glint of metal in her hands which must be a knife or something and as she swipes the dangerous weapon at me with frightening speed I quickly react and jump back letting go of the pimp managing just to dodge in the nick of time and because of this the young girl swings wide and ends up slashing through the throat of Zebra Daddy with her.. With her fucking CLAWS…

The young girl isn't carrying a knife, she's got two fucking claws coming out of her hands right on the ends between her knuckles and they are fucking terrifying! I can no longer focus on the flaws though when I hear a massive spurt ring through the air and when I look over in the direction of the noise I notice that only know has time caught up and blood has spurted out of the gaping slash on Zebra Daddy's throat painting the floor red and he's only just realised it too as he reaches his hands up to try and close his wound and keep the blood from coming out but it's a worthless venture since there's nothing he can do to keep the blood inside his body and all he's doing is covering his hands in a massive amount of blood as it seeps through his fingers and in a matter of seconds he's lost too much blood already and he fumbles to his knees still trying to hold on for dear life but it's ultimately pointless and with a thud he fall face down on the ground in a pool of his own blood dead and I take a moment to just breath after witnessing death for the first time ever in front of me and it's not as easy as I thought it would be to cope with and I'm not even the one who murdered this guy so I dread the day that I'll be forced to kill someone and who I'll handle it when I can't even handle this, I continue to stare at the dead man on the ground for a second stunned until I hear two screams ring out into the night and when I whip my head around toward them I notice that it was the two prostitutes from earlier and while one had already began to run off the other had stumbled and fell down onto the ground on her ass and began to try and crawl away in her ass in terror before she finally managed to get herself to her feet and after directing one look backward she too ran off and when I followed her eyes back to where she was staring I was again reminded of the situation after being stunned by the pimps death even though I talked so lightly of death and killing him myself, pathetic.

Watching the pimps murderer once again my eyes are drawn to the two claws popping out between her index and middle finger as well as her pinkie and ring finger and while I say claws these don't look like they are made of bone or whatever animal claws are made out of but they have a distinctive metal shine to them and they look sleek and sharp with dangerous edges and when I follow the claws back up the hand and arm to its owner I realise I'm staring directly into the girls green eyes and she's staring directly into mine and for a second we just stay there like that and while I wish things could've have stayed like that nothing lasts forever which was proven when the girl must've heard some imaginary signal or something and rushed at me with a ninja run dragging her claws along the ground behind her where they were just basically carving a straight groove through the pavement and she was coming at me at a freakishly fast speed and I only had a moment to realise my situation and try to do something about it which is when I jump back once again to avoid her swing once more but she must've learnt from the last time I dodged her claws and took precautions this time because as she pulled her claws from the ground and swung at me and missed she also threw all the small bits of debris she had just clawed out from the ground at me and I only had a second to cross my arms in front of my face to protect from the fast makeshift projectiles but even then while I managed to block the bigger pieces of debris there was also dust sized debris which she had flung at me and that got through my hastily made guard and straight into my face and eyes partially blinding me, she must've realised I wasn't a regular human when I dodged her first slash and she ended up killing the pimp Zebra Daddy and so this time she took extra measure to defeat me assuming that I would jump back out of her reach again and she was right but that was a one totem deal and it's not gonna happen again as I'll now be using all of my abilities to fight her off since I know for a fact that if I don't I'm dead and so I'll not hold anything back but unfortunately I had made this decision to late and now my sight was practically useless as my vision was blurred and I could no longer see much and so as I heard the girl once more make a rush for me I had to rely on my enhanced senses to dodge her and even than it was just barely and the only thing that was really helping me out here was my spider sense which I was relying on heavily to avoid her strikes and slashes and I'm guessing my agility is also playing a factor here since she mustn't have thought I would have been so flexible and able to bend around all of the attacks that my spider sense was informing me about.

Even so with all of my abilities and spider sense helping me I still had to endure some injuries though thankfully they were just some thin shallow cuts into my skin and so it could be a lot worse than it was but some blood was dribbling out of my tiny wound and threw me wounds were all accumulating slowly over time and eventually the blood loss everywhere would be too much but I've got a lot of time before that happens and thankfully the clothes I'm wearing are soaking up all the blood that's leaving my body and I'm just glad that she hasn't noticed the injury I incurred against Blastaar earlier this day and she's not sliced at it since while I might heal quickly it'll still take a few days and I'm just glad that I haven't given my injury away otherwise she would most likely be exclusively targeting that area but right now my injury isn't affecting me much and I have time to figure out how I'm going to get through this and for that I need to know more about my opponent which means I have to search my meta knowledge for any information that can help me, now that I have a moment to think since we've kinda gotten into a rhythm while fighting each other with my spider sense helping my better every time and my eyesight slowly returning I can try and search my memory for who exactly it is that I'm fighting and it doesn't even take long know that I can think about it since the claws were a dead giveaway since claws are associated with Wolverine but this here is a young female with claws and if I remember correctly in the comics Wolverine had a female clone made of him that was called X-23 which must be this delightful young woman across from me whose trying to tear me to shreds right now but I'm afraid that's all I really know about her since I wasn't much of an X-Men fan and I watched the movies but in Logan X-23 was a little girl so I don't think that's applicable here but I do know some of the basics around her by osmosis while reading and watching other entertainment and so I know she was trained as an assassin to follow all orders which must be why she ended up just following that pimp because she was so used to following orders and so she just followed him when he told her to high might be useful but I'm unsure if it will actually help in the situation, well only one way to know.

"STOP! STOP RIGHT NOW!" I shout while she's still trying to eviscerate me with her Adamantium claws but she doesn't hear a word I say continuing to try and slash me to pieces hardly using any of the combat skill she undoubtably has after being trained to be an assassin and instead she continues to fly at me in a rage using no technique and since it appears words aren't going to help I'll have to try and beat her off using force and thankfully she's gonna make that easy for me with her using absolutely no technique and being angry which plays to my advantage and so with my eyesight now returned and recovered from the debris in it I make my move, subverting her expectations instead of continuing to dodge like I have been doing this time I instead lunge forward after one of her swipes to take off my head and not expecting this she doesn't react in time for when I ran into her tackling her to the floor where I hold her hands down against the floor and sit on her legs so she can't use her legs to try and kill me since she had a pair of Adamantium claws coming out of her feet as well and while she might be more highly skilled and dangerous than me she isn't stronger than me and I weigh more than her and so she can't do anything except struggle as I hold her down against the ground and while she could probably somehow get out of this by ripping off a limb or something and regenerating it (which people related to Wolverine are known to do) she won't be able to do that since I'm holding her down and she can't use her claws to do it and she can't use my own strength against me to rip off her arm or something and I won't allow her the chance so she's effectively stuck beneath me and she is restrained.

Now where do I go from here…
