In an alleyway, located not far from a certain underpass, four people, all dressed in dark clothing were gathered together discussing a particular matter. The topic of discussion in question was, of course, a crime, hence the need for the alleyway, specifically, they discussed their plan to commit a crime.

These four individuals were all hired by a mysterious client that they had worked for a couple of times before, this time they were hired to perform a kidnapping. Their target was, according to their client "The daughter of the Hero Killer" the client wanted this done in order to cause people to lose hope, or something like that, none of them had actually cared enough to pay attention to the client's motivations. The money was good and the task was simple, that was enough incentive for them.

It was easy enough to find the girl's name, all they had to do was look to certain online forums where people with nothing better to do ID'd heroes and sidekicks all the time. After they found that, they had managed to get her address, learned what hero agency she worked for, and they had even found out the power of her quirk. Knowing all this they spent that morning tailing her on her way to work, learning the route, and when they had that information, they were ready to ambush her.

"Are you sure this is the route he will be taking back?" Asked Soji, a black-haired man in a black and yellow hoodie holding a sledgehammer.

"It probably will be, according to the maps, this is the fastest route between the hero agency, and her residence, so I fail to see why she wouldn't, she doesn't seem like the type to remain somewhere any longer than she has to." Answered Tetsu, a white-haired man wearing a suit.

"Don't worry about it, you two, we thought up this plan perfectly and our target is unsuspecting of us." nonchalantly spoke the leader of the group, Rojiya, Cleanse, a brown-haired man in simple dark street clothes, he had a manhole cover on his back the same way Captain America would wear his shield. "Even if she doesn't show up, she'll be back here tomorrow morning, and we can set up our ambush then."

"Whatever happens, I just hope she can put up some kind of fight, I take no pleasure in cracking weak skulls." muttered Harushia, he was the only one in the group who had an "inhuman" appearance. He was overly buff with bright green skin.

The trap had been set, all they had to do was wait for their target to come.

Stepping into the alleyway.

"FUCKING GOZER!" Noire was yelling now,

"Well, what is this? A brat with anger issues?" said a sinister voice.

noire looked up and saw a tall big green man. Noire reeled back, she didn't want to be attacked again. Noire began to turn away, but as soon as she turned around a speeding hammer to the side of her head. And then, for the second time that week, everything went black.

Hours later…

Noire's head was throbbing as she woke up, that was all she could feel at that moment was pain. Noire tried to search through her trying to remember what happened, Oh, that's right, she had been approached by someone scary-looking and then attacked from behind.

"So, you're finally awake kid? I was beginning to worry." said a brown-haired man who was hovering inches from Noire's face.

"Who the fuck are you?" Noire asked.

"You shouldn't worry about who I am, but for now you can call me Rojiya, and you can consider yourself as our captive." answered the man, in a tone that sounded like an intentionally poor attempt at friendliness.

Noire took in her surroundings, she appeared to be tied to a chair, and she was in what looked to be an abandoned building. The windows all around were boarded up and shards of glass were scattered across the floor, and there were large vats, and metal barrels all around, she guessed that this used to be some kind of chemical factory. Not only that but behind Rojiya there were three other men, including the green one Noire had seen before, she also saw a camera set up on a tripod behind them all.

"I'm sure you must be afraid, but you can thank Stain for that. After all he's the reason you're here." Tetsu spoke.

Hearing this, Noire's ears fearfully perked up. "What the fuck does this have to do with Stain?" Noire asked, confused.

"Because your his daughter, and you got a teammate of mine busted." Soji explained, his hand wildly gesturing as he spoke.

At his boss's call, the man in black and yellow stepped forward in front of Noire, looked at him with cold eyes before a malicious smile formed across his lips, much to the girl's horror. The next thing she knew, Noire felt the effects of a powerful kick to her gut, she gasped at the sensation, unable to resist. She then felt another kick, and then another, and another, and another, and another, it went on like that for a while, until Noire couldn't take it anymore, and she suddenly threw up all over the floor.

The villain apparently known as Hammer Soji, stopped his string of brutal attacks against the helpless sidekick when Rojiya put a hand on his shoulder.

"I think she got the message." he told his partner before he looked back at Noire.

"Well with all that said and done, you would do well to get a comfortable kid, something tells me that you'll be here a while, so just wait for the heroes to show up and save you like a good little hostage. Okay." with those final words Rojiya and the other villains took off for the door at one end of the building.

Noire was left gasping for air.
