Zebra Daddy straightened his suit jacket before trying to leave with his two hookers quickly trying to follow after the mouthy one who got slapped to the floor stood up with nary a sound and big bruise on her face and as they go to leave the young girl is about to follow but before she does she takes one last look at me and she stares directly into me eyes and I stare back but this time instead of cold lifeless eyes I see something inside her green irises that's familiar to me and something I see inside myself every morning and while I don't know exactly what that is I can tell that we both have it and a second later it's gone as her eyes are back to being dull and lifeless but I can't get the sight of such a familiar look out of my brain and before I even knew it my body acted on its own, my hand had reached out and grabbed onto to the shoulder of Zebra Daddy who had just passed me and I stopped him in his tracks knowing that this was a stupid idea and was liable to bring me so much trouble and yet my body acted on its own uncaring of my thoughts and before I knew it words left my lips without my say so because for some reason I began to resonate with this young girl that I hardly knew. "Let the girl go…" I spoke aloud into the open air and a resounding silence was all I got in return as Zebra Daddy, the two hookers and even the young girl stared at me with the two hookers being in shock and the young girl looking at me in confused indifference but that was all different to the pimp Zebra Daddy who turned back to look at the offending limb holding into him before he started laughing when he followed the limb back to my face, even though he was laughing I could see the unyielding rage in his eyes as he glared at me with his mouth tightening after he finished laughing to again descend us into an uncomfortable silence as he reached back and clamped his hand down onto my offending arm trying to crush it in his grip to try and teach me a lesson but I can't be less bothered about pretending right now and so his actions are useless as he's just straining his fingers and he realises this as well and it helps add to his rage even more as he instead flings my arm away from him before once agains straightening his suit jacket and turning around to face.
"Do you know just how much you just fucked up? Do ya? Here I am trying to be a nice guy and letting you go scot free even after you bumped into me like that but I guess it's true what they say, give an inch and they'll take a mile. Why the fuck do you even what the girl for? You know her or something, is she your lil sister?" The man starts to go on his own monologue as if ramping up to some finale but I couldn't be less bothered as I continue to stare at him as he continues to run his mouth about me offending him and in a sense I can understand that as everything was resolved and he was leaving with the only thing he had done to me was slapping my drink out of my hand and to the floor and watching it spill out whereas as in any other situation he would've probably beat me senseless (not that he could, but he would've tried) or simply tried to pop me by pulling out his gun and shooting me in the head (but high actually would have killed me, but my senses, agility and dexterity is high enough that I would easily be able to dodge but if I was caught off guard I could technically get one shotted) but in my case he left me be and tried to leave but here I was taking a mile when he gave an inch by trying to stop him taking the young girl and turning her into a prostitute but I just couldn't let it happen after seeing such a familiar look in her eyes, what particularly catches me of guard is when he asks me if the young girl is my little sister and when I take a closer look I realise that we both have dark black hair along with green eyes (hers are a bit brighter while mine are a bit duller, though I suppose right now hers are a bit duller) as well as fair white skin so it wouldn't be a stretch to believe that we might be related as we do look pretty similar but I know there is no familial relation there since I was an only child and my parents only had their parents who are long dead and no other siblings or cousins so I'm the last of the family and I know for a fact we aren't related but we sure do look like we could be.
"I don't know the kid, she don't know me either and she sure as shit ain't my little sister. Even so I can't let you take her and take advantage of her turning her into a prostitute when she clearly isn't all there, she's just a kid that doesn't know any better and is down on her luck and I can't let her do this when she'll regret it for the rest of her life. I got my reasons but that doesn't matter right now, you just need to let the girl go and keep on walking and get back to whatever it is you pimps do all day, Zebra Daddy." Finishing my sentence by sarcastically calling him Zebra Daddy (the guys clothes aren't even black or white or even striped, he's got the daddy part down being a pimp but I don't see the zebra part unless that's something to do with cocaine or something but I'm a lot less knowledgable about this shit than anybody else) and I know that I'm massively messing up right now since I've never gone and picked a fight with anyone else with them usually picking a fight with me and getting me into trouble but even then most of my fights were playground antics apart from the bug fights in Hell's Kitchen I was apart of but that's it really since when I fought those mole people creatures they were pretty mindless and in the fight against Blastaar I was pretty much just support and this guy is harmless in comparison to those situations but there's a big difference between these situations, in the mole people situation me and Johnny were just walking along the street when the ground started breaking up and out came mole people and the fight in Hell's Kitchen was due to me kicking bad guys asses while looking for Daredevil since I could not in good conscience watch them attack women and most of the time it was guys trying to mug me which cultivated in them all getting together and coming for me and just in the situation earlier today Blastaar suddenly jumped out of a portal and started fighting so I had no choice but to get involved but in all of those situations I never chose to be involved (not fully at least) and they were just thrown on me and I had to do my best but this time I'm making a conscience decision to get involved in this situation for the first time and while it does seem to be a lot less dangerous than the other situations it's still new ground for me since this is my first time actively trying to involve myself and helping someone (and I don't even know why, because of a look I saw in her eyes) but I don't mind since these are relatively low stakes and those are the stakes I like best.
"What the fuck? Let me get this straight, you don't even know this little white girl and yet you are trying to get in my face and get me to leave her alone when you don't even know her. You must be fucking crazy thinking any of this would go your way, this fucking girl here wants to come work for me. I told her to come with me and she came and I didn't even have to use threats or the lure of money because she just followed orders like a good bitch, someone must've already trained her or something cuz she is good at following and listening to demands and that's just the kinda girl I want on my roster which will drum up some good business. Why the fuck are you even involving yourself in this when it's got nothing to do with you, this girl chose to follow me and become a prostitute and as far as I can see you don't have any fuckin right to try and stop her or me when you don't even know her so I'll give you one more chance to fuck off right now or stick around and end up another punk kid dead in a gutter, your choice." I know that I have no right to stop her from doing what she wants since it's her life and her body and if she wants to become a sex worked than she can but even so I can't forget that look in her eyes and so I can't just leave and let her follow this guy because her eyes are so lifeless right now and she needs help plus to be honest I'm not doing this in a completely selfless way either because sure I want to help her but I'm also seeing an opportunity to benefit from this as well, looking at her right now she looks like she's just going with the flow since she's got no reason or purpose of existence which is why she's just following this guy since he's telling her what to do and I don't want him taking advantage of her but I'm being kinda selfish right now as well since I've realised that she has no purpose and no reason to live which means right now she's very malleable and easy to mould which means if I save her and she becomes in my debt I could mould her and make me her reason to live which would result in me finally having a confidant because while everybody else like Gwen and Mary Jane might be close to me I could never fully trust them since they don't have any reason to stay on my side and beings are fickle but with this girl I could make her into the proverbial Robin to my proverbial Batman and have a close confidant who listens to my every word who I can mould to my whims to help me and someone I can confide in knowing that they won't betray me since there will be a clear hierarchy since she would be coming from a position of debt and I need that since even Earl doesn't know everything I get up to and I need someone to help me with my stuff that will follow my every order and I can see it in her that she's capable of that and I admit that I'm taking advantage of her but it's better than the pimp who woke turn her into a prostitution and sex worker while I wouldn't take advantage of her like that so I'm infinitely the better option.
"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 graves 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 but he's 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 ti 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 life or something and as she swipes 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 swing wide and end up smashing through the throat of Zebra Daddy with her..
With her fucking CLAWS…
