Sorry this has taken a while. I haven't stopped any of my stories but I just don't know how to continue on yet. Also, I still don't own the Avengers or Batman characters. If I did, I wouldn't write, just be hanging out with the characters all the time, making my significant other jealous.

Hours later, he slows down at a ship port. I tense, wondering if he's going to kill me or sell me. His right arm tightens around my waist, keeping me against his side. This entire time I have been getting more and more terrified.

The first couple hours, I had my face turned away from the front windshield. I don't like driving fast because my reflexes are slow. When someone drives too quickly, it always seems like we are going to drive off the road or get into an accident.

The slow reflexes is something that I've had since I was buried alive. I don't know if its from the plague, being buried, or the post traumatic stress disorder. All I know is that I don't remember much before I was buried alive.

I tense as he gets out of the pickup, keeping me pressed close to him. He forces me towards the closest ship. It doesn't look creepy but I think it's a slave ship or something like it. I start twisting and squirming, struggling to get away.

He is Mexican-American with not to dark skin. His black hair and black eyes make him handsome. He has a dangerous aura to him that screams out alpha maleness. That, an old cut down his left cheek, and a dirt-like smell makes him even more handsome.

An alpha male. Men defined by an inherent lawlessness. One could never be completely certain what an Alpha Male would do if he, or those he considered his, were threatened. They obey only their own code. Either stay in his protected circle or as far away from his line of sight as possible.

There seems to be something familiar about him but I don't know what. All I know is that he keeps sending me a reassuring feeling but I fight it back since he kidnapped me and hasn't said anything yet. My feelings are fighting against each other.

Halfway of me wants to trust him while the other half is worried about what he's going to do to me. Since he is so strong, he can do anything; torture, kill me, or far worse, take my virginity. I can handle the first two but not the last.

Suddenly I'm yanked away from him. An arm is around my waist, forcing me behind a big person. I can tell its Bane from the way he breathes. Hope fills me, praying that he will take me back to the Avengers and still won't harm me.

Feeling safe again, my body relaxes. Pain fills my chest, having been there before but I'm only aware of it now. My right hand presses against my chest, wanting to stop the pain but unable to since its inside the body.

Blackness surrounds me, leaving nothing else in view. Uh oh! Knowing that I've panicked too much, sending me unconscious, I struggle to calm down. If I don't, I might never wake up again. It takes a while for me to calm and slip asleep.

Bane catches the girl as she collapses, unconscious. She had awakened a strangely protective streak in him. He would kill any asshole that tried to touch her. She is fragile and precious, to be cared for, not despoiled or abused.

Her face is sweet, youthful, innocent, and utterly beautiful. While her mind is steeped in dreams, she is unconscious, vulnerable, entrusted to his care. He will do everything in his power to keep her safe, even kill the pope.

His hands give the girl to one of his men, Kit. Kit takes her back to their vehicle. Once Bane gets rid of This Bad Guy, then he will take her back to the Avengers and hopefully, they will be able to keep her safe this time.

If they don't, he will kidnap her and take her someplace safe. He will not let anything happen to this girl. He is pure and innocent, something that he hasn't been in years. Also none of his men have been innocent or pure in years.

He feels very protective of the girl, like an older brother, father-figure. He knows she was created to be protected and that he was created to do the protecting. No matter what, he will keep her safe, even if it kills him, he vows.

That is why he gave her the bracelet. It has a tracking device in it so that he will always know where she is. Its hard to get off, because the metal is hard and clamped shut. Though its also waterproof, fireproof, and weatherproof.

This Bad Guy attacks him. He has lots of strength and a healing ability. Bane punched the man's face, making a gash on the man's cheek, that healed within a minute. The man keeps sending Bane's men closer to the vehicle.

It makes Bane mad, because the man is getting closer to the girl. He knows that Kit will move the vehicle if the man gets too close. If the man wins, Kit will drive the girl back to the Avengers. Bane made sure Kit knew the plan.

In this battle, both this man and Bane are equally matched. Neither one can get the upper hand for very long and keep it. It doesn't take very long before Bane's men are on the ground, unconscious, unable to get up, or dead.
