Precursor (Rumpelstiltskin first + Open)

Loud angry voices could be heard echoing through the dark alley as Riku carefully peaked from out behind a dumpster. Pulling himself back quickly, Riku quickly spun his body around before he leaned his back against the giant metal garbage container and slowly slid down it til his butt hit the ground. Back resting heavily against it, Riku's mind quickly continued to race as the boy softly bit his lower lip. Panicked cries could be heard emanating from down the alley, but Riku could almost hardly hear them given the pounding of his heart. This was bad right!? Yeah yeah yeah! This was definitely bad!


Finding the strength in him to pick himself up from off the floor, Riku quickly took another quick peek out from behind his safe spot saw the forms three people. Two were men and one was a woman. What had gotten Riku here was the fact he'd seen the men practically dragging the woman along with them. The woman hadn't been as distraught as she was now, but Riku could tell just by looking at her face that she had been uncomfortable. Being the reputable young man that he was, Riku decided to follow the men! Initially, he had planned to simply give the two guys a stern talking to! Catching up to them, he did exactly that! And promptly recieved a quick punch to the face as the men laughed at him before continuing on their way.





And call them he had! Which was all fine and good! Except for one small problem. THEY STILL WEREN'T HERE! Riku who had trailed the men for a while, tried to give the emergency services up to date site reports. This stopped the moment he'd entered the alley and the altercation began to start though. Without warning his phone seemed unable to send any calls and Riku was left wondering if it was because of one of the men's quirks. He proceeded to follow the trio deeper and deeper down the alley just to keep tabs on them til the police arrived, but now that he was here, his brain was screaming at him that this was bad. Being that he was a student of U.A., which his bright uniform loudly broadcasted, Riku partially felt obligated to help the woman. Yet on the other hand, Riku was also well aware of his position. Mock fights was one thing. Real ones were something entirely else! But.....even so. He had to do something....


Which was why after another moment of contemplation, Riku who had somehow put himself back in his earlier position with his back against the dumpster and butt on the ground, pushed himself to his feet. Steeling his resolve, the young man poked his head out to survey the situation for one last time. Blinking twice his eyes tried to parse the shadows, the young screw user raised a brow in confusion as the original three were now four. How or where this fourth person appeared from, Riku had no clue! Buuuuuut, given that the situation had changed.....
