To prove that she could do good work even while on an internship, Cassie had started staying at work a little later than what her hours were supposed to be, generally using the time to work on filing or typing up contracts and so forth. While she knew that ultimately she wasn't going to be going into law, working at Nelson and Murdock had been pretty interesting so far. As the clock flipped to six thirty, she stood and gave a faint yawn, then stretched her arms over her head. Reaching out, she turned off the computer and grabbed her messenger bag - it contained normal purse things, of course, and at the bottom? Her WG wig and costume. One never knew when those might come in handy, after all.
Heading out of the office, she opted for the subway this time since she wasan't in any kind of hurry just yet. Heading down the street so she could make her way to the closest stop, she paused as she passed an alley and spotted a gang member advancing on a woman and a little boy. Quickly ducking into the alley herself and behind a dumpster, she used a small burst of speed to change into her Wonder Girl persona. Leaving the bag there for the moment, she shot upwards, then over the head of the gangster to put herself between him and the woman.
"You must be really desperate," she said. "It's not even dark yet." Shaking her head, Cassie executed a neat roundhouse kick and sent the gangster flying against the wall of the alley. Glancing back to the woman and boy, she gave them a small, reassuring smile. "You might want to go ahead and run while you can." The woman returned the smile, then picked up her son and took off up the alley at a sprint, leaving the teenage superhero with the man who was pushing himself off the wall.
