Alex didn't do well with downtime, which she figured was pretty standard for all of them really. So when she wasn't on an actual mission she was usually out most nights patrolling the streets. It was better than sitting at home feeling mildly sorry for herself and that past a certain point in the night she was officially that spinster who talked too much to her damn dog. So the night found her like most did, wandering the alleys in some of the rougher areas in NYC, just waiting for someone to make the wrong move. Alex slid her hands into the pockets of her leather jacket as she walked. From the alley up ahead she heard a scream cut through the night and she quickly ran toward the sound. A man had a girl pressed up against the wall of the building, and Alex saw red. She'd seen a lot of shit in her day, but the one thing that could make her blood boil like nothing else was some asshole who thought women owed him their bodies. He was so focused on trying to hold the girl still that he didn't even notice Alex until she gave a swift kick to the back of his knee. The man howled and dropped his hold on the girl as he stumbled back a little. "Run," Alex told the girl and watched for a second as she took off in the direction Alex had come from. "You like attacking girls in the middle of the night?" she asked the man and easily side stepped as he tried to rush her. "Make you feel like a real big man?" she spat at him and when he moved to grab her hair she easily caught the fist and used the momentum of his surprise to twist his hand before she let go. "Screw you, bitch." He replied and moved to lunge at her. Alex stepped out of the way and grabbed at the back of his jacket to hold him as she drove her knee into his chest. The man sputtered and stumbled back again. "Oh girly, you're in for a world of hurt," he muttered as, probably upon hearing the commotion, four of his buddies walked in from the opposite side of the alley. Alex glanced between the guy who had tailed her and then the new arrivals. Five. She could handle this. She'd handled worse. Sure this suddenly wouldn't be as easy as before but she could - probably - get through this. "Well, looks like we got a party," she deadpanned and quickly grabbed the lid of a garbage can as the man rushed at her again. Alex swung the metal lid at him and the sound of the impact rang through the alley. She could see the dark trickle of blood from where the edge of it had made contact with his forehead and she immediately hit him again before he could react. Once again after that and he fell like a dead weight to the ground. "And then there were four," she muttered under her breath and turned to face the others who were quickly descending on her. |
