This is really bad. This is really, really bad. I'm in an old abandoned warehouse with a full gang of criminals, with no cover or weapons to speak of. I slowly made my way up to my feet from my sitting position, being careful not to pop any joints.

Looking down, it was a group of around 4, three guys and one girl. The guys all seemed to have the basic thug look, but didn't look particularly threatening. The girl however looked like she belonged in a wrestling ring, with hulking muscles that put my own to shame, and fluffy wolf ears that signified her as a faunus.

Wait, didn't they say Roman earlier? The same as Roman Torchwick? Double shit…

If he or any of his associates get anywhere near me, they would find me in a heartbeat. I need to get the fuck out of this place as soon as possible.

Looking over to the windows I failed to find an open one, if I tried to open one, I would undoubtedly be heard and found. Seemed the only way there was to get out of here through the door before the other gang gets here.

I made my way over the walkway as the four gang members made their way over to the middle of the factory. I was tense, and each step I made the large faunus woman pause, she was getting suspicious of her surroundings. I need to take her out first if I want to stay alive.

The only thing I can thing of was to get the drop on her, literally. Tensing myself, I waited until the woman had moved almost directly under me, and jumped. Feeling the air resisting my fall, I cocked my fist back with Strong Arm active. I was about a third of the way down when she looked up and saw me, a look of pure terror became plastered to her face just as my fist reached her.

I crashed down on the floor, multiple different types of snapping and cracking filled the air around us. I undoubtedly broke nearly every bone in her torso and cracked her skull in multiple places as she screaming out in agony.

Not taking a moment to think about what happened, I swung my self right, my arm extended as I clocked the goon behind me across his face, remembering how they were positioned before I jumped down here.

I followed up with two punches to the goon's stomach and slamming both of my fists into his shoulders from the sides when he attempted to block it. This resulted in similar sounds and screams from the previous criminal.

I looked over at the other two criminals to see their shocked and fearful expressions. I didn't dare pause for another moment as I punched the third goon repeatedly in the face, letting off what I counted as a thirteen-punch combo, knocking him completely off his feet and onto the ground, likely unconscious.

"Jack!" Came the frightened voice of the guy I know recognize as the boss of the group. I didn't take anymore time to bother about the details, and charged at him as he attempted to take out what seemed to be a pistol. I shot out my arm with another punch straight into his hand with the gun as he started to draw it. I didn't do much damage, but my attack both knocked the gun out of his hand and swung his arm back from the force, knocking him off balance.

I followed up with a series of three punches, one to the stomach, one to his left pectoral, and one directly into his nose, giving a sickening crunch as he was knock back. Knocking him unconscious as he hit the floor.

I didn't release my tense muscles or held breath just yet. This was my chance, to get some money to start out with. I sped as fast as I could, taking all of the lien I could from the gangster's wallets that I could get, and stuffing it all in my pockets.

… What? I don't have any money!? And besides, this is the least they signed up for when they decided to be criminals in a world full of superpowered huntsmen with gun-swords. While they will certainly will need a hospital visit, it's better than potential death and the aura wielding superheroes blasting a cannon sized hole in their torsos. As I looked trhough their pockets I took one of their scrolls, hopefully I can use it to get around better.

I finished taking their cash when I saw briefcase that had previously been in the faunus woman's hand. I grabbed it and took a brief (hehe pun) look inside, and found it to be full of lien. So, they were here to buy 'goods' from Roman huh?

I closed the briefcase and promptly booked, being sure that I held the case of money as closely to myself as I could. Might as well take this oof their hands as well.

Luckily there didn't seem to be anybody that had come with them, which surprised me. You would think that they would leave someone on guard if the cops showed, though this neighborhood seemed to be pretty empty so maybe they didn't think there would be a problem.

I had to have booked it for a solid half an hour before my body started to give out on me. I had landed in a pretty run-down part of down, though seemed to be occupied by street thugs and other types of vermin.

I really hope to avoid friends of those goons from earlier. In order to avoid the possibility, the first motel I came across I walked in as fast as I could, ducking slightly under the small door frame.

I entered into a slightly smelly and moldy lobby, and made my way over to the counter to see the girl standing there was… Velvet? We both looked at each other for a moment, me in surprise and her seeming to shrink into herself, possibly intimidated by my size.

"How much for a night?' I asked her, she hesitated for a few moments and then spoke, though in a mumble.

"It's 300 lien for one night." She squeaked out. I rummaged through my pockets, pulling out random bills of various amounts before getting to exactly 300. Handing her the bills she shakily took them from me and put them into the rusty register, before handing me a numbered room key.

"Thank you." I grumbled out, handing her another 10 lien bill and making my way to the hall.

"W-wait! You had the right amount before." She called out to me nervously. I simply waved her off without looking back.

"Keep it. Think of it as a tip." I said as I made my way further into the hall, and likely out of her hearing range.

I entered into the motel room, and it was pretty consistent with the low quality of the rest of the building. I dropped the case onto the floor and flopped down onto the bed. I had some pretty shit luck, though I think I made it out of there pretty ok.

"I know it's a group of unconscious guys! What I'm wondering is what happened, and where our money went!?"
