Fight 32
Curiosity

With a resigned sigh, knowing he would be late to school today, Gohan began to float down towards the bank. As he was about to activate his costume movement below stopped him. The young half-saiyan's eyes widened as he recognized Videl and wondered what she was capable of. Curiosity getting the better of him he held off changing into his alter ego and instead hid in an alleyway. It allowed a perfect view of the action.

Gohan promised himself to jump in if needed, but he had to know how capable she was. He didn't really doubt her strength though as her Ki was quite strong for a human being. Especially when she isn't trained in the usage of her Ki unlike people such as Krillin. He had simply wanted to see her fight since finding out about her crime fighting.

Videl exceeded his expectations. He watched with a grin as she knocked one of the criminals out with an uppercut. The men seemed to be avoiding using their guns in fear they would hit each other. They probably would too with how fleet-footed Videl was.

He had to wince with a little sympathy for one of the criminals she just took down. The man was definitely the tallest of the men there, but was also quite gangly. Videl got too close for his long arms to hit properly. Then proceeded to, if Gohan's eyes didn't deceive him, punch him in the diaphragm seven times in under thirty seconds before ending with an elbow jab.

As the criminal bent down wheezing she grabbed his arm and threw him into a different criminal. The landing knocked both of them out. He could see her smirk from here as she turned to exit the bank so the police could come make an arrest. Then his heart leapt to his throat when one of the criminals she had previously taken care of shakily lifted himself up with his arm. Pointing a gun at Videl's back.

Things immediately blurred as, within moments, Gohan was in costume and had already reached her side. His speed causing the windows to shatter and blow inwards even as several gun shots echoed. He fixed a heated glare on the man, who was staring wide-eyed, in front of him. "That wasn't very nice."

It really wasn't hard to catch the bullets in his now-gloved hand. Gohan wasn't sure why he was so angry, so scared, about what had just almost happened. He just was. "I believe these belong to you." Wordlessly he let the bullets drop from his hand and watched the man begin to shake once he recognized what they were.

"What are you?!"
