One Punch

*Year: 2017*

*3rd POV*

Walking down the busy streets of Manhatten was just your average man, short black hair and wearing a black suit with a white undershirt. His back tie was a bit loose and the brown briefcase he was carrying, well it was empty as he was at a job interview but well it didn't pan out. 

Yet the look on his face was emotionless, blank with nothing on it but it still went unnoticed by the crowd as he just walked. To everyone in this city, it was just your average day, maybe they thought he had a bad day or just lost his job. 

Crossing the street, he looked up at one of the tall buildings that had the news playing on it. Apparently, there was a giant crab-monster thing rampaging in Florida somewhere, just your average run-of-the-mill kaiju attack, and right on queue the Guardians of the Globe were called in to take care of it.

Honestly, the man thought it wouldn't take too long, especially if they called Omni-Man in for this. Sighing he turned away as the news was broadcasting the fight live with a few people sitting down or standing wanting to see how it turns out.

*1st POV*

{Huh don't know why that popped into my head} I thought as I filled up a small watering can with nice room-temperature water. 

I then went outside to my small porch and began watering my nice dark pink plants, honestly speaking these were the first plants that didn't die on me. So in celebration, I got a nice mint green pot for it, the guy at the store did say the colors went well together so I got it. 

Then in the distance, an explosion ringer out throughout the city as yet another villain was probably robbing a bank or rampaging. Heck, maybe even a Kaiju actually made their way onto land this time. Sighing I got up and quickly changed into my costume, a yellow suit with a red belt/gloves/boots, and a white cape on the back. 

Sure not the most imaginative costume but well it was pretty much the only thing that worked out for me. Any other costume I tried pretty much got destroyed so I just stuck with it even if it was a little... ridiculous. 

Once that was done I jumped out, landing on the ground before I started running towards the explosion far faster than any car could go. I also made sure to stay in the center of the streets, trying my best not to trash any cars as I ran towards it. Although I think I did dink a few cars as I got to the source of the explosions. 

A few cops were hiding behind their cars trying to subdue the threat to the best of their abilities, as the guy shot another bright green beam. Once I got a good look at the person, they were mostly cybernetic with two arm cannons and were wearing I think a neon green sapndex suit for some reason. She had a large mohawk probably dyed to match her suit don't know why. 

"Ha Ha, this is so much fun, can't believe those bit-"

Before she could finish I ran up and just karated chop her head, barely a tap and she was down. Although she did hit the street a bit harder than I expected her to shattering her two arms in an instant she was still breathing, I bent down to make sure of it. Once that was all done, I sighed and made my way back to my apartment mumbling under my breath.

"Can't believe I got the suit on for this."

Well, I guess somewhere in my mind I was hoping it wouldn't take one punch again, you know be an actual fight for once. Then bam another explosion, with more people screaming to my right, so when I was able to I quickly changed direction and ran towards it. I went through an alleyway, slowly down so as to not kill a star cat by accident, it happened once and well I made sure to give it a nice funeral, somewhere with a lot of open fields and green.

So I made sure to be extra careful whenever I ran down an alleyway, but anyway, I went to the second villain of the day which was faster than I'd thought it'd be. Usually, you'd have to wait a few hours or a whole day for them but today could be my lucky day. 

I arrived just as the guy was making his way out of the bank, he was extremely large and definitely not a human. Well at least he wasn't anymore as the guy was at least the size of a large truck, his skin was dark green with large spikes growing from their arms making them look like a weird cactus. His face was a weird mix of a human and crocodile with the teeth to match as well, some of them I could tell were growing out of the human teeth, tearing them apart. 

The few civilians who didn't run from the explosion or well the robber crashing through the... bank's entrance at least I think it was a bank. Anyway, the guy had a tail and was using it to keep hold of multiple bags of money, probably had whatever the blue stuff, the stuff that makes stains impossible to get rid of. 

"Yes run humans, run from the apex predator that is me, King Croc!"

I mean people were running but honestly speaking this guy was probably going to be easy, unfortunately. So I just ran up and relieved a sucker punch to the guy's stomach, and he spat out a bit as he let go of the money falling to the ground. His entire leaned over me, only being held up by my fist and with what I was guessing a bored expression on my face I tossed them to the side and whipped the dust/dirt off of me. 

"Well I guess only-"
