Chapter#4
Two weeks had passed since the thumb fiasco, and Noah, our resident otherworlder, is jumping from building to building in the middle of the night while wearing a black and red hood that covers his head and a batman mask as a cover for his face...
In the past week, Matt Murdock a.k.a, the future Daredevil became acquainted with Monica and the others, making him a frequent visitor of the Central Perk. Using Matt's intelligence and close to little expertise in legal matters, he was able to help Phoebe with her thumb problem making their little dilemma solved and done for.
Foggy Nelson, Matt's roommate, and new best bud also sometimes come with him to the Central Perk and together they became friends with Monica and the rest. Noah however seldom visits there because he decided that he needs first to solidify his previous body's history to better know him in case he forgot something and did something idiotic. Having a new body and a new life is not exciting as it should be.
------------------------------------------
'I'd better get over this quickly or it will be a problem in the long run.' Noah thought as he listened around his surroundings hoping to find an ongoing crime.
Noah while training his abilities and skills, thought that it was time for him to use them in a real-life situation. So he decided to go in the middle of the night when the crimes are more rampant in the city of New York.
"He-Help," A weak voice of a woman rang in Noah's ears, the source of the voice is quite far away from him however due to Noah's skill, he can manage to hear it clearly.

'Kill or Knock-out, huh..." I thought as I got closer to the source of the voice, my mood darkened.
I didn't think that the system would give me this type of mission this early. Well...it's a valorant system where the only thing that you can buy in the shop is a bunch of skins for guns and knives.
"It's time," Noah muttered as he took out a small semi-automatic gun equipped with a silencer from nowhere.
It's better to be prepared than nothing, though I doubt I will be able to use this, just my physique alone, I can beat anyone below Cap, but in terms of fighting technique, I'm far too beginner.

Noah for the last weeks have grind his skill in both R.D.F and V.A.P. When the V.A.P leveled up to 20, it gave him another sub-skill named 'Accelerated Perception', it's like the skill bullet time that make everything you see in a slowed motion.
During this time, he also discovered that every month, the skins that he can buy in the shop changes every week and that each gun holds specialized skills that only he can activate.
The moment that the gun is separated from him for ever a 100 meter range, the gun will automatically teleport back to his 'Collection'. That's not all! The most op skill that his gun holds is the 'Infinite ammo' skill, now he don't have to worry about any ammo in a gun fight. He doubt he can find any ammo that fits his gun in this world.
His strength and speed also reach a superhuman level, just enough for him to lift 1748 kg of weight and a top speed of 125 mile-per-hour enabling him to enter the superhuman level, surpassing Captain America.
.....
Once I heard the source of the voice below and close enough to me, I stopped my movements and surveyed the situation first.
What I saw below made my blood boil and my mind to go into a state of chaos. A woman, between the ages of 15-18 is being handled forcefully by a middle-aged man who has a psychotic smile on his face.
Within a microsecond, my body was covered by a red and orange hue as I jumped off the building at a height of over 30 ft, leaving a circular bright flame on the roof. I landed on the hard ground with a thud that the man heard, causing him to turn his head towards where I was.
"Who the f*ck ar-" The man said, but he was not able to finish his sentence because my hand that was covered with red and orange energy grabbed his throat forcefully. However, this is just the start. I held his neck and slowly his body moved away from his victim as I held him up using his neck.
"Ughk..." The man struggled as he grasped my hand that is covering his neck.
"...you're weak." I uttered in a boring tone.
What did I expect my first enemy to be? A superhuman? How laughable.
"Sniff*, thank you..." The woman on the ground said, while sobbing, still in catching her breath.
"Go." I ordered her as I saw her nod and stood up for a run.
"Freak..ughk!" The man said in between his breaths as he struggled from my hold.
"Yeah, yeah, I don't care. So what do you want me to do to you? If I didn't stop you, then you would've r*ped that girl, which makes you a pedo, and a r*pist. " I asked him as I smashed his lungs into the wall, still holding his neck.
"Ughk!"
I raised my other arm that was holding the 'Ghost' gun and pointed it on his skull.
"Ughk?! N-No-ughk" The man whimpered as he saw the gun that was pointed on his head.
"That's my first time seeing something like that. I expected this world to be this dark or darker, but seeing and expecting is just different, y'know? " I said to him with a blank look on my face.
When suddenly, I remembered something that was able to hold me back.
I thought solemnly, 'Will they still become my friends if they knew that I killed someone?'
'They weren't even my friends yet...' I thought, unbeknownst to me, my hold over his neck were loosening as I thought of the unknown emotions that I was feeling.
'Pathetic' I thought to myself in frustration.
I loosened my hand from the man and dropped him to the ground. As he caught his breath, my mind was in a cluster.
I'm deciding a man's life just because I can do so. Am I a psychopath or what? Sigh...but what if it's not the first time that he did this? If I let him live, many more will become his victims.
I clutched the gun in my hands harder and raised it, only to be stopped by what I was seeing. The man who was grasping for his breath before, was now holding a sharp knife. He aimed the knife at my chest as he lunged his hand that was holding the knife to me intending to stab me.
However, right before it hit me, the world came to a halt like time had stopped. I managed to grab his arm right before the tip of the blade touched my chest and squeezed it firmly, causing his bones to make a cracking sound.
"AHHH!"
"You know what? Killing you will be like a mercy...that's why, I will just break some part of your bones just enough for you to live. I will especially break your bones down below, so be prepared motherf*cker! " I shouted as I completely crushed his hands and bent them unnaturally, making him scream.
Just like that, a few minutes later, you can see an unconscious man on the ground. His arms and legs were in unnatural form, some of his bones are visibly sticking out from his flesh.
"That looks f*cking painful... anyhows, I managed to stay in my ult for 10 minutes, huh? That's a new record, I guess. "I uttered while looking at the red-orange energy covering my body.
"Mm-mmh" The man hummed with tears in his eyes.
"Ohh you're awake. Look here, I only broke your arms, legs, and head down below, okay? With enough time in the hospital, you will be able to move a little...maybe, and it will be painful for like forever," I said to him as I crouched in front of him.
"My advice to you is to never ever commit a crime again, or I will break your spine next. Remember me f*cker... f*ck, I sound like a thug...anyways, you know what? I will brand you. I can't risk you committing a crime again or I will have a long guilt trip and be an emo. I'm sure you'll remember me well with this, and besides, this is Batman's thing, right? It's only right for me to honor him, considering that I'm wearing a Batman mask, hehe" I said with a crazy smile as I got closer to him and lit up my index finger.
A few seconds later, you can see a black symbol on the man's neck that looks like a letter V and is still emitting smoke, indicating that it has been branded by a hot object.
"Finish...like your new tattoo bud!?...I'm really a psychopath huh...atleast I didn't kill you right?" I questioned him while looking at his eyes full of tears with a blank look on my face.
"Remember my name okay? It's Valor-WHOOSH*" I said, but I was not able to finish my sentence, as the fire engulfed my whole body, causing it to vanish from its place leaving a beaten man in black and blue.
"Mama-sniff*" The man sobbed his eyeballs out as he continuously cried for help.
