Seeing Bane fall, Kit quickly drives away, terrified of the Reaper. The girl is unconscious on the backseat. Her breathes are slow and shallow. But at least they are steady. Though her color is slowly returning to a healthy pink.
He knows about the Reaper, having seen him in action. The Reaper is as bad as the Winter Soldier was. He has killed all those that he has come up against, brutally like he doesn't have any morals. It was said that he doesn't have any feelings.
Kit is taking the girl back to the Avengers because that's what Bane wanted. He will do whatever Bane wants because Bane is the Leader. Though if the Avengers cannot keep the girl safe, Bane entrusted the girl's safety to Kit.
Uh oh! Kit mentally curses as he sees Reaper chasing after the SUV. The Reaper is fast, but Kit keeps pressing down on the gas pedal, not wanting Reaper to get the girl. He fishtails around a corner, briefly getting out of Reaper's sight.
Suddenly Kit slams on the brakes as the girl changes into a white mist. His right arm reaches back, going to check on her pulse. The fingers slide through the mist. He pulls his hand back, worried about the girl, unsure what's going on.
Before he can do anything else, the Reaper lands on top of the SUV. Cursing again, Kit stomps on the gas. The Reaper falls off the back, before running after the SUV again. Kit keeps ahead of the Reaper, having to save the girl.
Checking on the girl again, he breathes easier, happy at what he's seeing, seeing that she's back and not the mist. She is a healthy pink, breathing evenly. Her body is just in a healing sleep, not a coma or anything else.
The Reaper tears off the back, passenger door. Holding onto the roof with one hand, his other hand reaches in for the girl. Kit's right hand lets go of the steering wheel. Pulling his gun, he points it at the Reaper, firing.
The Reaper falls off the SUV, landing in the dirt. Kit continues to drive, glad that he got the Reaper away from the girl. He breathes easier. The girl jerks into a sitting position, gasping in shock, eyes looking all around.
She gasps, seeing the gaping door. Kit continues to drive fast, mentally calculating on how to get back to Manhattan. He brings himself back to the present as the girl climbs into the front passenger seat. She buckles herself in, hands shaking in fear.
"I'm taking you to the Avengers. Bane said you would be safe there." Kit tells her, heart easing as most of her fear fades.
"Thanks for…" She pauses, before adding. "Everything."
"Don't worry. I will keep you safe." Kit tells her, knowing that he will keep it, forever.

Hours later, he decides to get something to eat. It has been hours since he last saw the Reaper. He is hoping that the Reaper has given up hope for now. Though he knows that the Reaper will probably try to get the girl again.
The girl hasn't said anything, keeping her eyes on the windows, never him. He isn't sure why she won't but isn't going to push her. He doesn't want to upset the balance that they have found, knowing that she's fragile right now.
Usually he would steal the food but doesn't think that the girl would like that. So he will get her legally obtained food. Then he will call the Avengers or Batman, to say where they are and that he is bringing her back to them.
He pulls into a Pilot parking lot. They have drinks and a Subway inside. Part of the Pilot building, the outside, is being remodeled. There are a lot of construction workers, some wolf whistling at the girl, who doesn't seem to notice.
Kit climbs out, waiting by the front of the SUV until the girl comes up to his side. Looking all around, he leads the way into the gas station, grocery store. She seems nervous but not terrified of him but everyone else.
He steers her to the Subway section of the store. Keeping his attention on everyone and thing in the store. They both order sandwiches, getting drinks and chips. She stays close to him, not liking anyone else getting too close.
Once they have used the bathroom, they get back into the SUV with their food. She also has a candy bar for later. Her hands stick it in the door, between the arm rest and the rest of the door. It will be safe there until she eats it.
'Crap!' Kit's mind growls out, remembering that he hasn't called the Avengers or Batman. "I want you to stay here. I have to make a phone call." Kit tells the girl.
She nods, relaxing back in her seat. Her hands unwrap her sandwich, beginning to eat. Knowing she will be ok until he gets done, he climbs out, walking back into the building. His eyes keep looking back at her, worried.
Using a phone, he calls the number that Bane made him memorize. Batman instantly answers, clearly tracing the call. Kit tells him where he is and that he's bringing the girl back to Manhattan. He says that Bane told him to bring the girl to the Avengers.
Hanging up, Kit walks back out to the SUV. Ten construction workers are in a circle on the side of the passenger side of the SUV. The passenger door is open and the girl isn't in the seat. Kit rushes to the group of construction workers.
The girl is in the middle of the circle, arms wrapped around herself. The workers are making lewd marks to her, touching her, trying to act like macho men. She is not giving them any signals except being terrified with wide eyes.
Kit barges into the circle, having to save the girl. Her eyes light up, seeing him. A pudgy, balding worker grabs the girl, forcing her towards him. She yelps out, struggling against his grip, trying to get back to Kit, scared.
The worker drags the girl away as the others attack Kit. She struggles against the man, stomping on one foot, before swinging her elbow back, breaking the man's nose. He grabs his nose, stumbling backwards.
She turns to help Kit, kicking out at the closest worker's left knee, dropping him to the floor. The balding, pudgy worker picks up a steel pipe. He grabs the girl, turning her to him, before slamming the pipe into the girl's left temple, knocking her to the ground, unconscious.
Kit's anger grows, seeing the sight. He easily defeats the workers, very good at fighting, having been taught by Bane. He was the best apprentice that Bane has ever had, besides Talia, who was also trained by her father.
Soon the construction workers are on the ground, either unconscious or dead but he doesn't care. He rushes over to the girl, kneeling down beside her. His anger returns more powerful, seeing a gash on her left temple, from the ear to eye-tip.
Not caring about anything else, only having to protect her, he stitches up the gash, before wrapping gauze around her head, only over her eyes. She might be scared when she wakes up, but when that happens, he will explain everything.
Setting her back on the passenger seat, he climbs into the driver's seat. Starting the engine, he races away from the scene, hearing police and ambulance sirens in the distance. The Pilot employees must have called the cops during the fight.
