Richard was dropped rather roughly on the floor. He looked up at the two men, hoping they would go easy on him at least, he already hurt enough. He watched as one man raised a fist, intending to strike him and winced, waiting for the impact -- but it never came. Looking back he was shocked to see that both men had been knocked out and now lay on the ground before him.<br/><br/>It was then that he noticed a new presence in the room. Standing before him where once his attackers had stood was a man dressed in an armored outfit, cape, and cowl. He didn't say anything, just stood there, watching Richard. Instinctively Richard tried to move away but he back was already against a wall. If this man could take out two full grown men, what could he do to him? He pulled his knees up, and ducked his head down, holding his hands before him in a sign of surrender.
