Four Years Ago
Dave’s tavern is a rough place known for low lives and drunks. Filled to capacity with mainly men either struggling to stay conscience drowning their sorrow in liquor or bruisers getting ready for a fight. The few woman in there are either working or being worked on and don’t mind. The smoky atmosphere makes it hard to see several feet in front of you saving many of the patrons from getting into a fist fight. The wallpaper is peeling away, several windows are smashed in and most of the furniture is taped up.
Sat at the bar is a blue haired girl. She looks out of place. With a beer in one hand and nervously playing with a lighter in the other hand, she gains a lot of attention from the best of the patrons for only being by far the most attractive person in the building. “You’ve done nothing wrong dear but you should leave,” the older gentleman sat next to her warns. He shows a warm smile but knows too well the type of people he shares this dive with. “He’s right, shall i call you a cab,” the bartender offers who has been silently loitering around her to fend off any unwanted trouble.
Venus barely looks up from her beer, “Got nowhere to go, besides i’m waiting for someone.” The old man scoffs, “I hope your father or brother. You don’t want to be involved with any man from around here.” She looks up, “Actually I’m a le…” she realises how old this man is and knows this conversation is not worth having, “I’m not with anyone.” The bartender goes off to serve another patron. The old man leans in close to Venus, “Can i tell you a story.” She looks at him as if to give him permission to go on, “When I was a young man i was like the rest of these wasters. That’s why i’m still here. But life has taught me to not follow the curve. Go in your own direction girl don’t be like the rest of us. Godsake get the hell out of this town!” She repays him with a warm smile “I’m trying to.”
A monster of a young man ripped and fully tattooed sits on the other side of Venus. He leans uncomfortably close to her with a sinister smile across the face. After an awkward pause to the disgust of Venus and the old man he winks. “I got to use the girls room,” she says almost in a panic wanting to get away from the huge meathead. As she jumps off her stool the meathead winks again at the old man before following her away from the bar. She inches away from the restroom when a forearm shoots across the doorway blocking her path.
“You're too pretty to be in a place like this,” he spurts out. In disgust she can’t even muster up any words. In a moment of panic she stands there motionless instead of running away, giving a second man enough time to approach her from behind. He squeezes her from behind making give out a little yelp. “How about we take you somewhere else….”
“What the FuuuCK you think your doin!” comes scream across the tavern shutting everyone up. All eyes turn to a rough looking fella about half the size of the meat heads hassling Venus. Standing tall with his chest stuck out this cocky guy fearlessly approaches them. “I hope you're playing some sort of erotic fantasy with this chick otherwise this looks a bit rapey boys.” The bigger of the meatheads steps forward to meet with the cocky hero, “You made a mistake coming in her….” Without any notice, no one saw coming a quick jab sailing over the speed limit smashing into the meatheads nose knocking him down straight away. He’s friend guys over but isn’t quick enough to save his friend from getting punted and knocked out by his cocky attacker.
Venus slumps to the floor. She looks for the door but would have to run around them. No longer is anyone in the tavern looking at the they all watch and cheer on the fight. She feels safe for now. The two men square up to each other, “Who the fuck are you then?! I’ll knock you out too you lil bitch!” the hero says throwing his fists up. Before he can continue the meathead spears into him throwing him against the bar. The hero throws elbows down trying to knock the bigger man off. With his back up against the bar the two men trade punches blocking most but some landing. The meathead is able to overpower the vigilante pushing him almost over the bar while throwing punches into his ribs.
The hero yelps with several punches landing yet no one notices as he reaches along the bar for a beer glass. With each blow he takes the beer seems further away, he gets a fingertip to it as the bartender sees whats happening. He shakes his head knowing what is about to happen. The hero sniggers, grabs the beer and drinks from it while still being punched. He finishes the beer in one before leaning up on the bar and kicking the meat head off with both legs. The meathead flies back into the middle of the tavern, several other punters catch him and throw him back in. Our hero wastes no time before charging at him and jumping off a chair to knock the meathead out with a superman punch.
The hero hits the floor just as hard, Venus runs over making sure he’s okay. She lifts his head up making sure he’s still conscience “Thank you, is there anyway I can repay you…” . He opens his eyes and is quick to get back to his feet unaided. “I’ll probably never see me again so don’t worry about it. Just stay safe.” Venus backs off while her saviour starts routing through the meatheads pockets looking for his wallet. People surrounding visually look angry with him mugging his two attackers. As he reaches into the second man’s wallet he barks at the few other drunks approaching “Now! This man has broken my knuckles so he owes me!”
The entire tavern are giving the hero evil stares but back off. “If anyone else here feels like they owe me, that’s fine, i’ll knock you out and collect right now.” They go back to normal drinking and talking as if no fight took place, “That’s what I thought.” Turning to Venus, “Get out of here.” She runs out the bar most likely never to be seen in this establishment again. The hero steps up to the bar to finish off a left behind beer, “If anyone follows me or the girl i’ll fucking kill you where you stand! Understand me!” No takes notice of him not wanting to cause anymore tension. With cocky stride he steps out of the tavern.
One block over the hero turns down an alley way, “Savage! Where’s my cut.” Venus is sat on top of a dumpster waiting for him. He leans up against the wall pulling money out of pocket starting to count it out, “You seem pissed darling.” She jumps down approaching him, “I told you to stop showing off. Just knock them out, mug them and run. You're gonna get us hurt!” He hands her over money, “Don’t worry about me i can knock any asshole out,” he says he leans in for a cheeky kiss. She pushes his face away with the palm of his hand, “Just stick to the plan Savage, i need this money.” He smirks and watches her walk away, “Tomorrow we are at Joe’s place, okay! 8pm!”
