I knew that alley well. You didn't go down there unless you wanted trouble, but not everyone knew that. So I stopped at the corner to listen. I was tired and wanted to go home, but if some poor innocent person was down there with a bunch of assholes I wasn't going to leave them. So I listened at the corner.
I hear the usual thugs who lurk in this alley talking to someone. I peek around the corner and see a group of about six surrounding one guy. I hear the guy in the middle say, "Listen guys. You really don't want to make me angry." They all laugh. I decide to take action. This guy clearly didn't know what he was getting into. So I run around the corner and jump onto a stack of boxes near where the circle is.
"You know, boys, it's hardly courageous to take down one man with six of you. Are you really that weak?" I say. They all laugh at me. "You really think you can take us all out, girl, by yourself," one guy says. "Is that a challenge?" I say with a grin.
One of the guys reaches for my leg, but before he can grab it, I flip off the boxes, land behind him, and shove his head into a box, knocking him out. I feel a hand on my shoulder and grin knowing they are coming for me. I spin around knocking the guys legs out from underneath him causing him to fall over. It's all chaos from there on, but in a few minutes time I've got all six guys knocked out on the ground and only the one person left who they were going to beat up.
He's looking at me in total shock. He looks at the thugs and then at me. I shrug and put my hand out for a handshake, "Gina Morris," I say, "What's your name?' "Uh um...Dr. Bruce Banner," he says shaking my hand, "Thank you for saving me there, Gina. I appreciate it." I shrug, "It's not everyday a girl gets to save someone like you without knowing it." "What do you mean someone like me?" "Steve Rogers never mentioned that you like to walk down dark alleys, Dr. Banner. Though, now I do understand why you told those guys that they shouldn't make you angry. I'm glad I stepped in. Now's there's less paperwork for me to fill out," I say with a smile. Dr. Banner doesn't smile back, "So you work for SHIELD," he asks looking very nervous. "Is that a bad thing?" I say. "I just don't want SHIELD following me or anything." I point at the building at the end of the alley that's across the street and say, "I live right over in that building, and this alley is notorious for it's stories about people getting beaten up. In fact, we should probably get out of it before anyone comes and finds us here." "Shouldn't we move the bodies?" he says. I shake my head, "No the police will be happy to find them. They've been trying to catch these guys for a while. I think they're wanted for stealing, rape, and assault probably murder too or at least attempt at murder. Nah the police will be here soon to check the alley. They'll pick them up. We should move out while we can. I'll file the incident in at SHIELD tomorrow. No sweat." "Ok," Dr. Banner says with uncertainty, but he follows me as I walk out of the alley and across the street.
