Chapter 14 - Mutant Part 2 (1/2)

”We'll be the judge of that!' One of the thugs that surrounded Peter shouted out as he heard his reply. Peter not even thinking dodged the blow as his spider sense told him the perfect way to move. The thug was thrown off balance but didn't fall over as he sent a lot of strength into the blow.

The man was dumbfounded as his target instantly dodged him in such a graceful manner. Those that were spectating hoping to see a good sight also froze for a second, before they all pulled out their own weapons. They held them dangerously as if ready to stab Peter at the next given moment.

Honestly Peter thought it was a bit of an overreaction for such a small dodge, but he didn't really care. He could take them down in seconds if he wanted to. He really just wanted to know what they possible thought he had.

Seeing that the homeless person they were trying to shake down didn't even flinch at the sight of their weapons, 1 or 2 of them got a bit jittery. What could give the man such confidence? The guy didn't look old, and was in tattered clothes. Of course they knew that he probably had nothing, this was supposed to be a little bit of fun. Roughing up people like him was a favorite pass time of theirs.

They each gave one another a look before deciding that they would shank the guy. Who would care about another homeless person's death? If they were to know who they were trying to take down, they most likely would have run home and started crying to their mothers post haste. But unlucky them, they just thought he was a no name homeless guy.

Peter had been on the job for years now, and with that came experience. One of the things he had learnt in all that time was the look people gave him when they decide to go in for the kill. He didn't even need his spider sense to know that they now wanted to kill him. His eyes squinted as his muscles slightly tensed, he was about to jump into action.

It was such a trivial matter to Peter that at that moment his thoughts were on something completely different. 'This really is a bad neighborhood. I wonder how that girl likes living around here?' He was just about to jump into action when his spider sense did go off!

Peter's tense body went up a notch as it tried to figure out where the danger was coming from, it certainly was not coming from one of the thugs. His head whipped from side to side as he tried to decipher the situation when he realized something. His spider sense was warning of danger to the thugs, it wasn't pointed at him! It was pointed at those around him!

Just as he realized this a loud voice came from right, beside the group.”Rargh!!!” The loud female voice came from the side and took everyone by surprise, it sounded slightly like an animalistic roar for a second. The girl from the warehouse came flying from the side and pounced on one of the men, knocking him over. *Crack* One punch to the face and the man's skull immediately caved in.

Everyone froze as they looked at the powerful blow. Peter who was in the middle also stopped dead. 'The hell.' His brain short circuited for a second. The girl didn't stop there she instantly bounded over to another of the group and wrapped her legs around his upper body. *Snikt* Suddenly 2 metallic claws popped from her clenched fists, splotches of blood flying onto the man's clothes.

His eyes widened in horror and surprise as they pierced right into his chest. ”Argh!!” He screamed out loud from the pain before another quick swipe from the girl took his vocal cords. Blood gushed out and landed on the girls clothes but she didn't seem to care.

Peter still standing and watching was completely frozen, he knew that she was dangerous, but he could have never imagined this. ”Urgh.” *Slash* ”Nooo!” *Snikt* *Slash* ”I surrender I surrender!” *Gurgle* Before Peter could calm himself and react it was already over. She moved as fast as lightning and in a graceful manner. Her animalistic rage could clearly be seen as she took down the thugs around him. At some point in time she had done a type of flip off one of them as a single claw popped from her shoes and took one of their heads off.
