A Late Night Suprise/Cameo

Dimitri walks out of the alley way dragging the knocked out man by his neck. When he reaches the street he drops him. He then points to the group. "You....Guilty" Dimitri looks down and stomps on the back of the mans head. The man is now surely dead. Dimitri looks up as the men as two charge at him while one still holding the women. The first one tries to throw a roundhouse punch to his head. Dimitri ducks before grabbing the mans legs and takes him down. The second man swiftly follows up and grabs Dimitri off the guy. Dimitri sees that the man had a small metal pipe. The man swung it wildly before Dimitri moved in and trapped his arm. With a swift head butt he sent him to his knees. He then in a quick motion snapped his arm before kneeing him in the chin. As the man fell the first man had gotten up punched Dimitri in the back of the head twice. Dimitri fell to his knee for a second before rolling out of the way of the third punch coming to the back of his head. Dimitri looked up as the man started charging at him. Thinking fast Dimitri picked up the pipe the man dropped and slammed it into the charging mans gut. While the man clung over in pain. Dimitri stood up and delivered the final blow to the back the mans neck sending him down. Dimitri looked back at the man who at this point had her in a choke hold with what looked like a knife to her throat. That's when he recognized her. It was Ruth his one night fling, and only real friend. He would not let her get hurt. As he got closer the man pressed the knife closer to her throat "Hey...Hey...Hey back off fucker unless you want her dead." The man nervously said. Dimitri tilted his head to the side as the last of what he felt like his sanity fled as he just saw red. He not only tired to kill him, but was know gonna try and kill Ruth. Dimitri with a loud, animal like growl threw the metal pipe through the air at him.


The pipe made a loud thud as it hit the man in the head. Dimitri quickly ran up to him as he let go of Ruth to hold his head. He pushed Ruth out of the way not hard but enough to get her moved as he jumped in the air and lunged on the guy bringing him to the ground. Straddling his waist he grabbed his shirt and start to bounce his head on the concrete"YOU MESSED WITH MY MIND." A sharp right hit the mans face as he laid under Dimitri "YOU THREATEN THOSE I CARE FOR." A left punch met the mans face as Dimitri's knuckles began to bleed. "YOU TRIED TO KILL ME." The man then smirks at Dimitri and in a low voice says "Tried?" Then Dimitri felt the knife that was still in the mans hand pierce his shoulder. Dimitri growled even more as he grabbed the mans hand in a death grip and yanked out the blade. Dimitri then running on pure adrenaline, and started to press against the now once again terrified mans. After pressing the knife back to the front of the two Dimitri was still fighting for it. Even though he had beaten the man he still but up a fight. Dimitri then reached down and punched the man in the eye. This gave him enough time to grab the knife from the man's grip and place it to his throat. The man began to murmur under now tears to not die. Dimitri smirked under the mask. "I wont kill you like your boss. But since you threatened my friend, and stabbed me you will never walk again." Dimitri quickly stood up and started to stomp on the mans kneecaps. After a few minutes of hollering from him the deed was done. All the men besides the dead ringleader were passed out. The knife wielder would indeed not walk again, or at least awhile. Dimitri dropped the knife as he face the carnage he had caused. "Debt...paid." He said in a low horse voice

Dimitri turned and looked at Ruth. His eyes showed a whole story. They were bloodshot, and intense looking. But also a look of sorrow to Ruth. He spoke in a low, horse voice "They.....After the brawl they attacked me in the locker room. Beat me, and destroyed my body. Broke my bones, and maybe my mind. They left me in this exact alley. When I awoke I was barely alive. I manage to get home. I recovered on my own so they would still think I was dead. I'm back and now....Now its done. But I almost got you killed that...I could never live with myself if they hurt you..." Dimitri reached up and felt the blood coming out of the knife wound. It pored out of the wound and began to drip on the ground. He started to feel a little light headed. He went down to a knee before getting back up. He then started to stumble back down the alley. The thought of almost hurting Ruth killed him. She should not she the monster he had became. He took his wife beater off and tied it to his arm so he would not leave much of a blood trail. Only a little dropped at the attack and the men would most likely not able to remember much. His apartment was nearby. He thanked god he had no neighbors, and that there were no cameras if he used the window. As he kept stumbling he made his way to his apartments first floor window. . He pushed it in as he fell to the floor. So this was it he thought this was where I may die. Leaving window visibly open he managed to stand and make his way to the counter. He grabbed on top of it to steady himself as blood leaked on his floor. He then moved into the kitchen where he kept something like this in case of a scenario like this. A knife was placed under a burner on the counter. He quickly grabbed it and steadied his arm. He moved the shirt away and blood started to pore again. He figured that it was not a major artery but still he had to fix it. He took off his mask and set it next to him. He then placed the shirt in his mouth. He then counted to three and pressed the white hot blade to his arm. He cried out into the shirt as the metal cauterized his flesh. After a minute he pulled the blade away. The bleeding had stopped, and the wound was closed. His arm caked in dry blood, along with his body, and pants. He then looked at the mask laying next to him. The mask was pointed at him, as if staring at him. "Its over...Its finally over....No more nightmares....No more headaches...But I still hurt her...Maybe I lost to much blood...Maybe I'll just die....Better for her....My only friend..." His head still felt light as he leaned it against the counter. Judgement was done but at what price? He had almost gotten the only thing closest to a friend killed. He had become a monster. He saw how she looked at him. And so he sat there against the counter. Staring into space. He doubted god would kill him here. No that was to easy. He would pass out from the pain and wake up tomorrow. He thought Ruth may have followed him. If she did it was not hard to figure out where he would have gone. Hell she his apartment, and the window was wide open. But these were just thoughts as he stared off. Pain still rung through his body but he did not show it.

Dimitri stood up using the counter for support. He grabbed a metal box sitting on the counter. He ripped it open and pulled out a syringe. He limped over to her and quickly moved her hand away from her neck. He then injected the syringe next to the wound. He imagined it probably hurt like hell but it would help. After a few seconds the blood stopped flowing out of the wound. Dimitri through the syringe to the side. "That drug will leave you with no scare in a day, or two. Right now that wound is healing it self. It cost a lot of money to get. Thought I may need it during my crusade. But since I'm done with it....There is no point anymore. Dimitri felt the pain increase as he went down to one knee letting out a animal like growl. Why could he not just die? That was the point he finished his job. He moved to his couch and sat there leaning back and breathing heavy. "You know when they left me in that alley way I was ready to meet my maker. But I heard them talk as I laid there. They said they were gonna come for you. Do....things to you then kill you. I could not let that happen so I set out to kill them. I expected to die on the way. But some how I lived. I don't know. I got you hurt that was kills me. I left you there. I don't know why I did what I did in that alley. I guess I was just trying to get away from the pain. But now we are here. I don't know if I am okay but maybe that's for the best. I have to say though even though there dead its not over entirely. A new crusade will begin as there are bigger people involved in this.

Her words 'How Heroic' stung like a million needles. He stood up and walked to the kitchen, He opened up a cupboard and pulled out a clean long, curved machete. Putting it on the counter. He then picked up his mask and set it next to it. "I'll tell you what I will do." He set the machete on the counter. "I'm gonna find them, cut there heads off, and mount them on a pike!" He slammed his fist down hitting a bottle laying on it's side. The bottle shatters leaving a few pieces of glass in his hands. He looks at it but not with his eyes that were just a second ago filled with sorrow. His eyes were now filled with hate. They showed a burning flame just beyond the surface, and so much rage. He smirked a bit as his hands leaked a little blood. He then set it down on the table as if nothing happened. "You see Ruth I'm not heroic in any form. What you just saw was the old me that came back out some how. No, no, no I am new, and better then that. You see I knew from just how you use to look at me, and how you looked at me now that I was soft, weak even. Your not the only one either. You see while I laid here after the beating in recuperation I learned that things I use to believe in like kindness, justice, and fairness are just words. You see I did go after them out of a last self respect to stop them from hurting you. If you had gone farther and I was not there you would be dead. You may think your self a bad ass but those are just words."

Dimitri walked back out in the living room not even giving her a passing glance. A little blood trickled from his hands but he could clean that later. "I saw how they had you. You could not escape if you tried. You see I think of it like this. You started my transformation think of me saving you as a thank you." Dimitri shook his head at the floor walking back into the kitchen. He opened another cupboard and grabbed a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. He walked over to the sink and began to pick out the glass from the bottle. Not showing any care with a few grunts he yanked the pieces out and threw them back . He then pored the peroxide on his wound. A hiss came from his mouth as bubbles started to form on the cuts. Dimitri looked down at his hand. "You see the first one I found was the watchman to make sure no one came looking for me. I found him jogging in a park. I dragged him into the bushes by his neck and started beating him. I was gonna let him go but I remembered that they showed me no mercy. No ever had why should I? I snapped his neck and left him there. They found him a week later."

Dimitri then looked at her rage still burning. "Can't you just fucking see the fact that I did this to protect you?! I had to sink back into my old self just to do it. No one ever gave a damn about me. Not you, not them, no one! You see there deaths brought me joy. But then I saw you, I saw you held captive most likely about to be killed, and I saw you hurt. My old self came slithering back out thinking you gave a damn about me. I could have left you there and came back another time but I did not for you! Only when I heard your sarcastic words did I finally decide to break free. You see were the only person I ever met that seemed to give a damn. But I was wrong you see. You never cared about me. Hell maybe you wanted to see me suffer just like them. But you see part of me still wants to think you really did give a damn about me. But I'm the more rational side that thinks that was shit!" Dimitri then sits down at the counter. The look of rage subsides a bit but is still there as he leans down and rubs his non hurt hand over his shaven head. Then in a more calm voice says. "This is my new life. No mercy, no kindness, only destruction. I will show one last act of kindness and that will be to you before I fully take control of my mind. Maybe my old side wants back out. If you wish to leave you may and you will never see me again ever. You can live as you see fit. You, and this world have begun to unleash a beast. This....is all I can offer you. I'm sorry for what I use to be." Dimitri does not even bother to look back at her. He sits there feeling all sorts of emotions from both sides. Angry,sad,vengeful. But most of all agony.
