A/N: So I was going to do a large time jump, but I was pretty happy with this chapter the way it was so I left it the way it was. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter.


It was a long couple of weeks before he heard back from Felix's contacts about where Johns killer was. The guy was a regular at a bar near an area of the city that was more prone to crime than the rest. It's usually a hot spot for gangs and other shady kind of people that Alex was familiar with. It was around the time the guy was at the bar so Alex was getting ready to leave.

"Where are you off to?" Alison asked surprising him.

"To go see a friend. Why do you ask?"

"You've been acting pretty weird lately and I was kind of worried and now you're sneaking out in the middle of the night. Are you seeing someone?" She asked with a smile. Wasn't the answer Alex was expecting, but it he could use that as an excuse.

"You caught me. I was going to hang out with them for the night."

"About time you get someone to make you happy." She said while walking towards her room.

"I'll see you tomorrow with rent money." He called out while walking out the apartment.

Alex walked instead of taking the train or the bus to the bar letting his thoughts roam free as he walked. He may have made his trip longer, but he didn't care about it at all. He didn't show it, but that anger was there again ready to burst out and consume him. Everything in him was telling him not to let the full extent of that anger out, but he didn't care at this point. It took about 40 minutes to get to the bar and was about to go inside when he saw the guy walking away from the bar. Alex started to follow him while trying not to grab him and beat him down and then he saw an alley. It looked dark and was perfect to do what he was about to do, so he sped up and grabbed the guy by the collar and threw him into the alley.

"You killed a cop a few weeks ago. That cop was a friend of a person I care dearly about." Alex said.

The guy was pretty scared didn't know what to do. He got up and swung at Alex, but he moved out of the way grabbing the guy's hand and twisting. Alex started punching him as hard as he could and didn't stop. At one point the guy broke free and started punching and kicking Alex, but it had no effect on him so he tried to run and Alex kicked out with his foot towards the guy's leg breaking it. He picked him up and slammed him against the brick wall kept and kept beating on the guy barely feeling the burning that was crawling its way through his body. He knew the guy was close to being dead and he was about to finish him, but he couldn't do it and the frustration boiled over and he punched the wall next to the barely conscious man. To Alex's surprise the brick suddenly crumbled leaving a fist sized hole in the wall. He tried it again, and again, and again, and each time the same thing happened each time. He didn't understand what was happening or how he was able to do this, but he had to test it out further one day. He pulled out his cellphone and called the cops telling them that a man was lying in an alley and looked badly beaten and walked away.


Still on edge from beating the man he still had a ton of anger left and he needed to release it. He went to a club that was really a front for an illegal fighting club where rich guys bet on who wins and loses and he joined two years ago after some guy found him in a bar fight beating down everyone who got in his way. It took about an hour to get where he needed to go and to any normal person it would look like an abandoned warehouse, but it was more than that and Alex knew that as he walked inside. He was all too familiar with this place walking past the sea of people partying and drinking to insanely loud music towards the basement access. As he got there he was stopped by a guard which was weird.

"Password?" the guy asked. Alex scoffed looking at him with a weird look.

"Are you new?" Alex asked. His suspicions were answered when he nodded.

"I don't need a password I'm a fighter." He said.

"You don't look like it." The guard said.

"Trust me you haven't seen me fight."

"I'm sure you can." He said.

"Alright bet against me. I'm going to join the pit today so you might make some serious money who knows let me in and find out." Alex told him. The guy gave him a look and then nodded and opened the door.

Alex walked in with a smirk on his face knowing that the guy was going to lose that bet. As he made his way in the basement people started to notice he was in and was greeted by various people. He spotted Felix at the bar looking like he just lost a major bet and knowing him he most likely did.

"Hey Felix lose a bet again?" Alex asked.

"Yeah I put a bet on some guy who I thought would win. Turns out he's a shit fighter and lost first round." He said taking a sip of his beer.

"Alright stop moping I'm here to help. I'm going to jump in the pit today." He said. Felix looked at him with an excited glint in his eyes.

"Really? Oh this is going to be so good you are going to absolutely destroy them." He said.

"Looks like a new crowd tonight anyone here know who I am?" Alex asked.

"Only a few really know who you are. Most of the guys tonight haven't seen you in the ring so it will be a big pay out." Felix said. He downed the rest of his beer and stood up.

"Alright everyone my buddy here has decided to join the pit tonight. I will be dealing with the best with or against him." Everyone slowly started to flock towards him getting their money ready. After 20 minutes of people giving their bets it wasn't surprising when most bets were against him.

"Looks like we are in for a really big payday."

"Change the rules today I need a proper fight. 20 against me and only me." Alex said.

"Okay you are officially insane and I have to say that this is a bad idea." Felix said. He still changed the rules anyways.

"I'll be fine. Trust me I have a few tricks up my sleeve." Alex told him.

After being thrown into the pit everyone was shocked when Alex was beating everyone down as if he was untouchable. Alex was fighting as if he had this renewed energy around him like every hit was giving him strength. After about an hour of fighting Alex looked at all the people on the floor around him. Since the pit is a no rules fight there was many broken bones and some serious injuries after a fight and this one was no exception.

"Dude that was insane how were you even able to do that? No one has ever survived the pit like that!" Felix said excitedly. Alex knew he was more excited about the payout and didn't care.

"Look I need to head home. What's our cut?" Alex asked.

"Well me and you are going 50/50 and the other guys got their pay, So three hundred thousand for both of us." He replied.

"Holy shit that's the highest we have ever got." Alex said.

"I know!"

When Alex got home the exhaustion hit him hard, so he just passed out on his bed once he got in the room. After a long and restless sleep, he was rudely awoken by Alison.

"Alex wake up." She said shaking slightly.

"What time is it?" He asked.

"It's two in the afternoon." She answered.

"Is there any chance you'll let me sleep in more?" He said we a lopsided grin.

"Not a chance."

"Fine" He said.

"They caught the guy that killed John. He was pretty beat up and is still in the intensive care unit." She told him.

"That's great. Must be a good feeling knowing he's going to get justice." Alex said.

"It is. I have the week off and we should have fun. Want a week of not caring about everything?" She asked.

"Hell yeah." He said. Seemed like this week was going to be a great week.


Next chapter will be some of the stupid things Alison and Alex will get into on their week of fun and probably a big time jump.
