[matthew] handsome hero vs shady villain

[alfred]

It was a normal, run of the mill morning for Alfred. As custom, he would awake at some ridiculous time to go patrolling outside his apartment complex. Some would find it strange, to go lurking about such sketchy areas in the wee hours of the morning, but it was something Alf did voluntarily. The people that plagued the darkness were up to no good, with their stiff, mass murderer smiles. If Alfred didn't patrol and protect everyone, who else would? Surely not the police. They wouldn't dare set foot on gang turfs in the Southern District. Not to mention, they didn't care anyway. But, why would they? It's not like any innocent people lived there.

But they do. Alfred suddenly thought, his hands balling into fists. Although it was rare, he would see some poor child or girl standing on the murky streets. Their faces were usually contorted with fear and it tugged at Alfie's heart strings. He knew why they were there, he knew that it was because of something dark and unspeakable. Prostitution, drugs, and many other crimes were common occurrences around these parts. Although they were usually set up by the biggest crime lords, they had masses of innocents doing their bidding. The worst part of it all? They got nothing in return. No money, no respect, being apart of the circulating crime waves was an uneventful occupation. Unless you were in deep, it was practically suicide to go in at all.

Hey, what the hell, dude? Alfred came to a stop in mid-thought. His blue eyes widened to stare at the young child meters away from him. Near the youngster was a man around his own age, leaning down and talking to the kid. Alf was too far away to hear the words leaving his mouth, but he knew what it must have been. He's going to hurt him.... Alfred bit down on his bottom lip. No WAY am I going to let that happen! A hero must protect his citizens! At ALL costs!

He bounded over to the other man with the adolescent and grabbed him by the shoulders. "And WHAT do you think YOU'RE doing, dude?"

[Matthew Williams]

"H-hey, it's okay, I won't hurt you." Matthew had set the child down on the ground, making sure to smile the best he could. Looking behind his own shoulder and making sure that they had lost their pursuers. As luck would have it, they seemed to have.

Matthew hated this sector. Then again, he wasn't fond of the state any of them were in. But, this one in particular sector always stood out to him. Mostly because he was terrified of the Underground and never ventured there (unless it was to the Bio-farms, those were nice.) And today was a prime example of Southern Sector hospitality.

It was by chance that he decided to come here. A tip that there was someone who needed help. He didn't quite find who he was looking for, but did happen upon a couple of men, hitting the poor child to the ground. As if on instinct, Matthew sneakily made his way beside them, hitting on the head with a piece of wood laying around, grabbed the kid, and ran.

Turning back to the child in question, he kneeled down and dusted off their clothes. "Ready to go?" he asked, smiling and holding out a hand.

Matthew then felt a force on his shoulders, stiffening immediately when the attacker started talking.

It didn't take much else. The blond turned the best he could, attempting to punch the other in the face and off of him.

((Hope this is okay, let me know if anything needs to be changed.))

"HEY!" The punch caught Alfred off guard and he reached up to grasp the hand hurling towards him. He stood their struggling with it for a moment before pushing it aside and hurling all of his body weight on top of his opponent. They went crashing to the ground and a moment of deja vu reeled through Alf's mind. Hadn't he done this same tactic in another fight? One that happened not that long ago? Must be my new super cool fighting technique! I'll call it...the Hero-Slam! Hahahaha~

Alfred hopped off the ground and raised both fists in the air, positioning himself in a boxing stance. "Come at me, bro!" he shouts, loud enough for it to echo off the surrounding buildings. "Fight to the death! Whoever loses dies, whoever wins gets the kid." As the words left his mouth, he realized his plan sounded more heroic in his head. Now it just sounded like he was some kind of thug, wanting to kidnap a child. Psh, I'm not the kidnapper here! He is!

Alfred moved forward, an egotistical smile flashing. "So what's it gonna be villain? Wanna wrestle with a hero!?" He cracked his knuckles for extra effect, Alf wanting to make every moment of this "rescue" seem like the real deal. If someone was taping this, I'd look like a friggin' awesome superhero right now.

Hell to the yeah!

((-thumbs up- No need to change anything, my invisible pal! Everything's awesome ~))

[Matthew Williams]

Matthew grunted when his punch was ineffective. Sure, he wasn't the strongest, but he did pack his own bit of power. The fact that he couldn't land a simple punch was enough to solidify that the blond needed to practice his tactics; just in case he were to ever land in this position again.

His head grew dizzy as he crashed into the ground, the other landing squarely on top of him. He could feel a something slick and warm matting into the back of his hair, but chose to ignore the sensation the best he could for the time being. "S-Stay back." he snapped back to the other man.

If it's one thing the Canadian didn't have, it was time to die. And he was most certainly not going to leave the child he had just saved from people just like him earlier get sold away again. No, the kid had already been through enough, it had to stop!

Without further thought, Matthew swept one of his legs against the standing man, hoping to topple his center of balance. Matt only needed a brief opening to get up, grab the kid, and run.

"The only villain I see here is you!" with that, he stood up and started darting for the child who was standing but a few feet away. Scooping him up and beginning his run away. An alleyway, SOMETHING. Somewhere where they could hide until it calmed down.
