They arrived at the mart pretty early. There are plenty of customers around and the workers did their job with arranging and scanning customers item what-so-ever.

Ali took a cart over and start pushing it.

Ali: Okay,we will start with you. What do you want?

Reverse: Me?

Ali: Yeah,of course. I already did my shopping list but you get to decided any add on you want to put.

Reverse look around.

Lol he looked like a lost puppy looking around for his owner.

Ali giggle slightly before taking a single basket and give it to Reverse.

Ali: Here,how about we split? You go and put anything you want in it and I will settle with my shopping list. Sounds good?

Reverse stare at the basket before nodding. Ali patted his arm for a moment before pushing the trolley again.

Ali: We will meet again at counter number 7,okay? Call me if anything happen.

Reverse: *swat hand* Yeah,yeah whatever.

Ali: And DO NOT threaten any of the customer or the worker,got it?

Reverse: *roll eyes* No promises.

Ali sighed softly before walking away from Reverse to search for his groceries as for Reverse walking around aimlessly and put anything he like inside the basket.

With Ali,he is really picky with the grocery that he is going to pick. He need to look over the ingredients and expiry date so that he would never got any food poisoning.

He already got one in the first few months being a fugitive.

While looking at the fresh sliced chicken, someone accidentally bumped into him hard.

Ali: Ouch- Dang,watch where you were going man!*grumble*

The one that bumped into Ali is a big man wearing only shorts and dirty white tank-top. A reek smell of alcohol lingering around him and Ali almost puked in disgust.

That stranger seems drunk and didn't like how Ali was talking to him.

Drunktard: Oy kid! Your parents didn't teach you how to respect elders!? *hiccuping*

Ali roll his eyes slightly in annoyance. How dare this bastard bring up his parents-

Ali: Sir,you stumbled into me. It's not my fault you were drunk.

Ali tried to push his trolley around the drunk man but this bish literally try to make him angry.

Drunktard: I ain't done with ya,boy!

Ali: Urgh,back off old man! You are drunk!

The trolley is the only thing keeping the distance between Ali and the drunktard.

Drunktard; Aye kid you must be loaded right? Any money for meh?*hiccup**totally wasted*

Ali: Back off sir,please..*push the trolley*

His action angered the man.

Drunktard: How dare you being disrespectful to your elder huh,kid?! I will teach ya a lesson!

The drunk bastard pushed back Ali's trolley hard making he stumbled and fall along with his trolley. The groceries in his trolley are scattered and all the commotion attracts other customers attention but none of them dare to go near the obvious drunk man.

Sigh....Society..

Ali: Damnit-*try to pull his leg under the trolley*

The bastard step on the trolley,adding his weight on Ali's trapped leg, making him scream in pain.

Drunktard: That's what you get for disrespecting me,kid!

Ali look around him to find anything that can help him out from this situation. He left IRIS at home and the pain on his leg doesn't helping at all-

...: Hey,let him go!

A familiar voice shout out and Ali felt his blood drained faster.

Ali: Please...please not him-

When he look behind the drunktard, Viktor was standing behind that man and rising a broom.

Ali: Dammit-

The man turn his back to Ali and look at Viktor. He seems mad.

Drunktard: Who are you ,kid? A superhero? Heh. *hiccup*

Viktor: Leave this mart or I will call the cops!

The customer around shocked when the drunktard laughed.

Drunktard: *hic* Hahahahaha! Ya think ya did something,huh? You are nothing but a pest!

Viktor froze in fear when the man take out a beer bottle out from his pocket and smash it against the wall,making small pieces of glass shattered everywhere and the beer bottle is now a dangerous weapon.

Everyone in the store screamed in terror when the man sprinted to Viktor in full speed.

Ali: NO!!

Out of instinct, Ali kicked off the trolley and quickly whip out his yoyo and throw it to the man,effectively immobilized him by catching on of his leg. Using his all strength,Ali pulled hard on his yoyo making the man fall hard on the tiles floor.

Ali's hood fell off.

The man groaned in pain and look back at Ali.

Drunktard: You bastard!

He pulled his leg and Ali lost grip on his yoyo it was snatch out of his hand. The man take his broken beer bottle and charged to Ali.

Ali almost didn't get to move away from the sharp broken bottle. His ankle is hurting so bad now it's slowing him down.

He suddenly stepped on one of his groceries and fell down. The man put his foot on Ali,adding weight on him making Ali winced in pain.

Drunktard: Now ya afraid!*crazy drunk smile*

Ali struggle under his foot. He almost out of breath.

Nobody did anything to save him.

Not even an attempt.

Stupid society-

The drunktard raise up the broken bottle, ready to strike Ali with it.

Drunktard: This is what you get for disrespecting me you little brat!

Ali cover his face with his arms attempting to shield himself from the blow.

Only to heard the man screamed in pain and the heavy foot lifted off him.

...: Only bastard fights with a child, y'know? How about you pick up someone your own size?

Jeng! Jeng!

Your knight in shining armor has arrived!

The man stumbled when Reverse kicked him off Ali. He smirked.

Reverse: I only left you for like 15 minutes and you already got into trouble?You can't even fight an old man yet you decided to piss him off. What a shame.*roll eyes*

Ali rolled his eyes from that. Reverse being mean and downgrading him has become a habit.

Ali: He is twice of my size, bastard.*mumble*

Reverse pulled Ali up and put on his hood.

Reverse: Just watch and learn,kid.*smirk*

Reverse's attention is back to the old man. His hand itching to strangle the man until his face turned blue-

No killing.

Reverse: Tch,listen here you drunktard. How about you get the hell out of here and I will be generous enough not to break you face. *that one fake innocent smile*

His voice really send shiver to the customers around.

The man stand up and swaying slightly. Still drunk.

Drunktard: Ay, youngsters these days never respect elders anymore huh?

Reverse: Bitch,you want my respect I will give you my respect!

Reverse walk up to the man and punch him hard on the gut making him doubled in pain. He kneed and side-kick him to the wall.

Drunktard:*scared**finally come to his sense* Help-! He's crazy!!!

Still,no one did a move to stop this situation.

Ali: Reverse,stop! He's drunk!

Reverse keep on kicking him. He swore he could hear the man's bones cracking.

Reverse really doesn't hold back-

If they were alone he might let Reverse did his thing but now they were at a freaking open space and his ex-bestfriend is there jaw hanging seeing Reverse kick the hell out of that drunk man.

Viktor: H-Hey,I think you did enough,man!*tried to stop Reverse*

Ali: *at the back* Dang it-

Viktor stepped a few steps back when Reverse's red eyes glared into him.

The glare that can kill-

Reverse: It is never enough-

Ali had to interfere now.

He pulled Reverse off the now unconscious man.

Ali: Composure Reverse. Calm down.

Reverse: But this bastard-

Ali:*groan**rolled eyes*  It's fine,dammit. You can't go berserk whenever I got into trouble or anything!

Reverse stop for a while.

Ali sighed deeply before looking around. People around them were recording this incident. He look back at Viktor.

Viktor's wide eyes made his blood run cold.

He saw me.

His lips mouthed his name in uncertainity.

Viktor: Ali..?
