Strangers in the night..

The night had just fallen. The wind blew loudly trough the abandoned suburbs of Los Angeles, and the dim street lights were the only things that made the area slightly visible. An occasionally car horn sound was the only thing that broke the silence that was present.

The sound of footsteps traveled with the wind as a man wandered through the streets. The man was hardly 6 feet, with black, medium-length hair. His moist, green eyes were pointing slightly downwards. You could tell that he had something on his mind. Something serious.

He was wearing a somewhat woolen vest, accompanied by grey jeans. The brown backpack he was wearing looked moderately full, but it didn’t seem heavy.

Taking a left turn into an alley even darker than the street itself, he grabbed the backpack off his shoulders and unzipped it. Halting at a dumpster, he froze. His more visible becoming tears were wiped off with the sleeve of the man’s vest. After standing still for a small minute, it looked like he had gathered the courage to move again. His hands reached into the backpack, grabbing something red out of it. It soon became obvious that this was an outfit. The red outfit contained a big star in the middle, and three on both of the sides where the arms would go. Grabbing a helm with the other hand, he threw the backpack on the floor. A pair of white, baggy pants became apparent.

Taking another moment of silence, he mumbled a short sentence that actually summarized the reason of his action.

"I've let you down."

He held his two hands over the dumpster. Taking one last deep breath, they opened and the once-so-victorious outfit landed on a pile of restaurant left-overs like it was a sack of dogshit.. The man’s eyes closed, still letting out his tears of disappointment. He took the backpack, placed it over his shoulders, and faced the dumpster for one last look. A painful look.

"Goodbye, Savior." was softly muttered. He turned around, knowing that this was the last time he would ever speak of the name.

The Supreme Savior was dead.

A recognizing tune started off the country’s most popular program; the news. The show faded in, revealing a middle-aged man sitting in front of a desk, imitating a smile towards the audience. Behind the man was a big monitor, which’s space was completely taken by a man in a red outfit, standing heroically next to a handcuffed man lying on the ground. There were big words printed above the picture.

WHERE IS THE SUPREME SAVIOR?

The man behind the desk started talking.

”Good afternoon. Statistics show that America’s crime rate has increased dramatically. A primary cause is the disappearance of the Supreme Savior. A few days ago, the her-“

The tv-screen was struck by a remote-control, causing the glass to break. The one throwing the remote was the black-haired man that threw his outfit in the dumpster. It was the Supreme Savior’s alter ego. He was residing in a hotelroom in West City. He picked up the phone that stood on the table next to the queen-sized bed he was sitting on. After dialing the number of the hotel’s reception, he held the phone against his ear.

”Yes, I would like to order room-service. Uh-huh. Give me a bottle of your strongest alcoholic beverage. No, I don’t care about the costs. Room 506. Aldridge. Yes, thank you.”

The man lied down on the bed, placing an empty look on the sealing until his order arrived.

[ Please do give me experience for my previous roleplay and this one. ]

“No, please! Leave me alone!”

“Tough break luv. Nobody’s going to help you here. They’re too afraid.”

A female was held on the ground by a dirty, scruffy-looking man. The man had a big, nasty grin on his face while he was attempting to undress the struggling female. All of this happened in an alley of a random street in West City. The same street that the Savior’s alter ego was walking in.

After walking near the alley and noticing the assaulting man, he stood still for a second. Although his hesitating face expressed not to, he shouted at the dirty man for attention.

”You there! Leave that girl alone.”

”You dare talk to me? Who do you think you are? The Supreme Savior? Hah, give me a break.” the scruffy man said as he approached the ex-Savior. Stopping right in front of him, they looked into each other’s eyes. ”Tell me, boy. What’s your name?” he asked with a threatening tone.

Boom. The nasty’s man body flew across the alley, landing on the other side. He was unconscious.

”It’s Xavier, dickwad.”

He walked away, leaving the girl confused.

Xavier Aldridge.

That was his name. The man temporarily without an identity had a name. Well, it’s not his real name.

After running from his crime-lord ‘father’ at his 15th, he bought himself a fake ID to get a job to pay for an apartment. His supposed father gave him a Sicilian name when he was found. He didn’t feel Sicilian and he didn’t want to be. He wanted to retreat himself from his childhood. Thus, he called himself Xavier Aldridge.



After saving that girl in the alley, Xavier entered the hotel. Approaching the elevator, he overheard a conversation between 2 females.

“Hey, have you heard about that massacre in the South? I heard a man killed 5 people in a drug store.”

”I’ve heard about that! This wouldn’t have happened with the Savior sti-“

The elevator door closed, leaving Xavier all by himself.

Shit, that didn’t feel good.
