Well, there went one avenue of escape. Nothing to do now but power through, and hope they hadn't murdered the kid already. (He was fairly sure they hadn't. Call it a hunch. Please call it a hunch.)
The guy with the gun took a step closer. "Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" he said. "Yeah. You look familiar..."
"Seriously?" Atton said, staring back at him. "If I'd met anyone as ugly as you, I'd have known--"
Instincts blared at him very loudly to move, but Atton didn't really need that to know a punch was incoming. He ducked, snagging the man's arm, planting his foot down on the guy's instep-- and shoved, causing the gun to go skittering to the floor as the man's other arm impacted against the wall.
"What the--"
Better hope his hunch was right and none of the other guys were armed...
