Okay This is my first shot at writing so please review good or bad it doesn't matter I can't improve my work if I don't know where to fix it just please be constructive.

'3 blocks till safety.'
That was all I was thinking about, I should have payed more attention to my surroundings. Then again, it may have been the best mistake I could have ever made. Coming back from a runner job with a couple hundred dollars in the soles of my old beat up worn down sneakers I was more concerned with thinking about where I'm going to stash it seeing as it would feed me for a few months. Along with my regular hustle I would be eating better than ever for half a year, even longer if can get a few more runner jobs. Though I doubt The Krew was going to use a ronin again if they have a choice.
"You sure hes gonna be coming this way" they're trying to keep the noise down, but I still hear them from 10 feet away.
"Would you shut the fuck up. Even if he doesn't Chuck and Tim are down on Elm waiting. That's the only other straight shot to where he stays." so that makes 2 and they were waiting for me.
'Fucking Great!'
In this neighborhood you never want to be caught out alone or in groups smaller than 3 after dark its still Krew territory even if I did just put in work for them they wouldn't hesitate to roll you and get their money back. Old scrap yard to the south is a no go they keep dogs loose at this time to keep junkies out. That means I gotta go through them going around is not an option as Chuck is known for carrying a gun around and wasn't sure if he replaced the one I just got payed to get rid of.
'2 shouldn't be a problem just hope none of them have anything worse than a taser.' with that thought I take off running I may not be the fastest man on the planet but I haven't been caught too often. Escape wasn't my plan though, I have to keep them from following after me and finding out exactly where I stay at general direction is meaningless with all the apartment buildings and warehouses around.
"There he is!" I hear one of them shout "Get back here you little faggot!"
'So it's one of those, they're always fun to mess with. Fucking homophobes' I thought "Sorry babe but I already told you I'm only into group play when I get to choose who we invite!" I shout back
"I'm gonna fucking kill you!" he replied.
I skid to a stop and turn around. Homophobe was in the lead thoroughly enraged just like I want him. He launches himself at me for a tackle I jump back grab him by the head and knee him in the face. Coming down I push his face down sending him face first into the pavement.
'One down'
Number Two was here won't be surprising him but at least their numbers were down, even with the club in his hand all it does is let me know to move to my left.
"Sorry bout your friends face. He isn't going to be alright. I'd leave him face down so he doesn't drown in his own blood." I told him
"Not my friend just an asshole I gotta try and keep in line all the time, maybe now he will learn to keep his mouth shut" he replied
'Okay he seems too calm' I thought. Then I heard the crunch of gravel behind me 'Fuck' I thought as I quickly lunged forward and to my left 'Gotta keep inside his swing'
I ducked and put up my right arm hooking his arm at the elbow as he swung the club at my head a left hook the kidney and he gave a grunt of pain. Quickly grabbing his arm with both hands I stood him up straight and kicked him in the knee possibly giving him a limp for the rest of his life causing him to let go of the club and going down with a cry of pain.
'Just trying to survive Number Two'
*POP*POP*POP*
"Fuck!" I yelled as I felt a searing pain in my side. 'guess he got his replacement'
I ran like a bitch. I felt no shame in it there was too much distance between Chuck and myself to be able to take him out before he tagged me again.
Now that Chuck and Tim were over here Elm should be clear. A wall and chain link fence later I was on my way home tired and a little bloody but alive. 10 minutes later I was in my apartment checking out my future scar, no hole just a gash in my love handle a bit of alcohol gauze and duct tape later I was in bed reading. When you live in a hole there isn't much to do, so I read, that's my escape. Some people drink others use drugs, I read not just because its cheaper and less likely to kill me but because I enjoy it. I won't ever admit it to the people I deal with though so keep it yourself.
*Pain*
It was the first indication that something was wrong, and what woke me up from a pretty nice fantasy involving Tonks, Bellatrix, Luna a tub of pudding and a rubber chicken for some reason.
~What the Fuck is this!~
'Shit now I'm hearing voices, I could be going crazy but I'm pretty sure schizophrenia doesn't cause pain unless one of my personalities is suicidal'
~ You aren't crazy kid just dead~
'How can I be dead if I'm still aware enough to talk to you not to mention the fact that I feel like my body is being incinerated from the inside!'
~well you're as good as dead it's inevitable~
'Well that sucks. Wait how the fuck did such a little scratch kill me there sure as hell wasn't enough time for an infection to do it'
~Well it wasn't the scratch that did it it was me when I phased in to this universe I phased into you unfortunately~
'And why the hell would you go and do something as stupid as that. I mean I may have led the Homophobe on but I just did that to fuck with his head I don't really swing that way, I mean not that there is anything wrong with that but its just not my flavor.'
~* Laughter * Calm down kid I didn't plan on phasing into you in order to ravage you the chances of me phasing into any being with a life force were practically non existent and unfortunately for you I got complacent I have existed for eons. Born from the need of the multi-verse the need for chaos, the need for destruction and rebirth ~
'What do you mean?'
~ well no universe can exist forever. Eventually it is must cease to exist and a new one is reborn. A new story is written or rewritten.~
'A new story is written and a universe is born? Does that mean that every story is a different universe, manga as well like Naruto, Bleach and Fairy Tail, and books like Lord of the Ring, and Harry Potter? What about video game do they have Universes as well?'
~Yes to all of that a video game needs to have a story to it even if it makes very little sense~
'That's awesome wish I could have visited them'
~well that's an idea~
'What is?'
~you are going to visit one of those universes you just have to pick one~
'Seriously? Like really serious? You aren't just fucking with my head?'
~Sure, why not? Maybe throwing you into one or two could be fun to watch. Eternity gets really boring after a while you know.~
'Well if you want entertainment I'm gonna need a few things. I got a couple of ideas that could help me out and give you a show.'
~well what exactly do you need? Understand that I cant give you technology that doesn't exist but knowledge is different~
'What about physical abilities? I mean with this body being destroyed I'm gonna need to be remade anew, a rebirth as you said and what about a family history it may be suspect if I pop in from out of nowhere.'
~ * Chuckle * That I can do but first I need to know which universe you want to be reborn in, it is your choice which dictates what I can do for you as I will not introduce an ability which will take all the fun out of this little venture.~
'Well that there is the question isn't it. It needs to be one with the most forgiving time line as it will be my maiden voyage. One thing I will not back down on though is that I keep the memories I currently have when I am reborn. I want to stay me even with a new name and face I want to stay me, well along with whatever knowledge and abilities you let me have.'
~That was a given. How can I get the most entertainment out of this if you can't guide the story off a cliff if you felt like it?~
' Great in that case. I want to be reborn in Harry Potter Universe'
