This is going to be my origin story of Tug and the Man in Steel on how they ended up meeting and getting involved in the game. I'm going to try something different by writing it in a first-person style, tell me how it goes...
Chapter 1: Humble Beginnings
*New York City, A Few Years Ago...
I woke up in my apartment, my alarm noisy as ever, so I hit in my half-asleep phase not caring if I broke it or not. I got up, got ready
and went out the door. Work had been slow, jobs in my line of work were pretty plentiful, so I hadn't really been able to make any
money. My rent was due, and I left my apartment, as usual, in search of line of work, which would today find me in an unexpected
way, but I'm getting ahead of myself, let's go back to the beginning. I picked up a bagel, the only breakfast I could afford even though
they're delicious, and as I walked down the street, I wasn't paying to much attention and possibly by accident, walked down a not so
friendly street. It seems I ran into trouble, as three pretty strong looking men so up out of nowhere and said,
"Looks like we got ourselves a tourist huh Butch?"
"Yeah Bill, seems he doesn't know this street is ruled by the Buff Brothers"
"We're gonna rob him right guys?"
"Of course Bob, what are you, an idiot?"
"No anyways jump him!", this strange trio of dudes who definitely wren't the negotiating type were about to jump me when, a cold
chill came over the alley we were in, and immediately a man in dark clothes jumped down from a fire escape and proceeded to beat
the three of them. He told me,
"Come on, if you want to not be put in a hospital bed, come with me...", so he dragged me before I could answer and we were
escaping into other hidden alleyways...
To Be Continued....
