Who: Helen Magnus, Bruce Wayne, ??? What: Attack. When: Late July 2. Where: Outside Helen's office. Rating: PG-13; While the details are mostly glossed over, this is a physical attack. It does involve violence. Status: In progress.
The first threat had sent Helen driving aimlessly in a hopeless attempt to calm her nerves. The second had left her afraid to return to her office. It was hardly the first time she had received threats on her life, something that came with the profession she had chosen, but it was the first time she had received such threats since leaving Seattle. And the first time she was left to deal with those threats on her own.
But her work could not be avoided forever.
Having scheduled a meeting for late that afternoon, she had no choice but to face her office. In a last-minute decision, she had decided to leave Winnie at home, and she could not quite shake the nervous tension that had been plaguing her the past two weeks. As she always had, Helen forced her concerns to the back of her mind, focusing on her work.
Her neglect was already beginning to show, so after her meeting concluded, she set about organizing her files, deciding what would wait and what she needed to take home with her. It was well into the evening, already dark, before she locked the door, turning toward her car.
The first blow caught her by surprise, landing solidly across her midsection, knocking the wind out of her. The second caught her shoulder and she fell forward, landing hard. Then everything got blurry, sharply-pointed boots and thin metal pipes battering her from what felt like every direction. Two men? Three? She thought she cried out, but she couldn’t be certain. She couldn’t focus on anything beyond her own terror.
(ooc: There are three attackers. If that isn't challenging enough, we can go with four. They are all general NPCs and may be controlled by others involved. Please rescue her.)
