`` I'm gon na kill you,'' screamed Saber. He lunged at the small bearded man in front of him, grabbing him by the shirt and slamming him against the wall. 
 
 I sat on the other end of the alley with blood running down my nose. Minutes earlier I had been walking home from work when Saber Jones, former boxing champion turned carpet cleaner, came around the corner pulled a knife on me. He demanded that I give him my briefcase. I did n't know what to do and before I could react he had punched me in the face and taken my briefcase. 
 
 All of a sudden a small bearded man had shown up telling Saber to put down the briefcase and go home. Saber did n't take to that kindly and had swung the case at the old man, who deftly dodged every attack. Finally Saber threw my briefcase, probably destroying my laptop. The small man had been taunting Saber the whole time until Saber had lunged forward and grabbed the bearded man's shirt and lifting him into the wall. 
 
 The small bearded man just smiled. 
 
 `` You know, I used to be a lot like you, taking what ever I wanted and using fear to force people around.'' The small man nodded towards me and said, `` How many times have you taken advantage of someone like this?'' Saber punched the small man in the face three times. I could hear the crunch of his nose and saw blood streaming down his shirt. 
 
 `` Shut up,'' Saber screamed. He then punched the man in the stomach and let him drop to the floor. The small man coughed. Saber lifted a his boot above the man's head. `` I deserve what I take.'' His boot came down but missed the man's head completely. Saber began to scream. He stumbled backwards and fell into a pile of trash whimpering like a child. Then he fell asleep. 
 
 I did n't know what the heck was going on but I ran over to the small man and pulled him up. Surprisingly the small guy smiled to me and stood up easier than I thought he would. 
 
 `` Well that took a little longer than expected. My ability has never been instant but I thought he was gon na kill me!'' He went over and gave Saber a nice slap to the face. `` He wo n't be bothering anyone ever again.'' 
 
 I stared at the small man. He had fear powers. `` What did you do to him?'' 
 
 `` I gave him a taste of my ultimate fear: being alone. Right now he is wandering the world of his mind, unable to find anyone else to talk to or beat up. He'll be back to this world by the end of the day.'' The man coughed once more. `` But for him it will have felt like a lifetime.'' 
 
 My gaze fell back to Saber. I had a million questions running through my mind. These kind of people were super rare! I had only heard of a few on the news! How did the powers work? How did he get them? 
 
 `` Well see you later! Sorry about your laptop!'' I turned around and saw the small man wave and walk around the corner.
