Lets begin

{I'll wait for the first post.}

*the lights of the lamposts light the drops of rain descending upon the streets of the city, barely lighting the scene of the nearby alleyways. In one of these alleys lies a young man, clad in a light brown trench coat and tornup jeans, looking down at the ground, waiting. *

Athena was walking down the sidewalk, unbrella above her head, defending her from the cold of the rain. The only light was the blue of Widget's screen, guiding her on her excursion.

A scream fills the air, the kind of scream you would associate with being kicked the gut multiple times. The scream comes from the nearby alley.
"Get off of her!" you hear a male voice say

A quick quirk of her eyebrow, she stopped to listen.

Ever since the dark age of the law started, crime was a given. And normally, it wasn't stopped, punished, or anything of the sort.

As to this particular event, most likely sexual assault, she didn't intervene, fearful her own virginity would be taken along with the assaulted.

Jackson stumbles out of the alley's darkness

He stands and looks to a girl, illuminated by the glow
"Please help! " He runs back into the darkness and sounds of struggle emits from the alley, soon after a girl, scuffed up from struggle exits and runs away quickly, followed by the man, who as running by the girl, grabs her hand and runs her away
"Go! Quickly!"

She backs up, shocked, to say the least. "W... what the...?"

Widget's screen glows a dark blue, signifying fear. "What's going on?!"

Three thugs exit the alley and look to her, angered.

"You too" i hand grab hers and she is yanked away from them

"H-hey! Get your hands off me!"


And then, she tosses him over her shoulder. Some sort of reflex.

(I'm not kidding. Look it up.)

"Run! Run I'll hold them off! Just go!" the man gets up "Names Jackson! Find me!"

She nods, taking off. Being an avid runner, she was rather quick.

You hear shouting, then Jackson runs by you, running as fast as his legs will carry him, cursing rather loudly as the thugs gain.

He points to a alley "In there! We can lose them"

She slips in, silently. Los Angeles wasn't safe at all. Not anymore.

Jackson stops underneath a ladder to a metal staircase "i'll give a boost!"

She nods, perching her (rather short) self up, and climbing.

(5' 4".)

Jackson stands back, takes a running start at the wall and moves up it, kicks off of said wall, grabbing the bars "Keep moving! We almost lost those guys!"

She nods, and keeps going. Really, she was scared out of her wits. (The deep blue on Widget's screen showed this.) But she kept a straight face, and ran.

Jackson follows, blushing "I promise to never tell what i have seen tonight, ever" But fate would give the middle finger to him, tripping him ontop of poor Athena, landing his face into her chest.

Fate was rather happy with the result
