Maeve was stuck on city duty, staggering around aimlessly at night. Usually nothing big happened, the occasional bar fights and disputes she had to pull apart. Light work for someone with strength such as hers.

Maeve’s senses were heighten when she walked past a dark, flickering alleyway, hearing a slight scuffle. She rounded the corner, her blue eyes landing on three men, masked, surrounding a woman, you. They had you backed into the wall, trembling as you clutched your purse.

Maeve caught on quick, the way you tried to remain calm— still that hint of terror in your posture.

“Listen, just hand it over, ‘kay? Then no one gets hurt.” One of the men pressed, stepping closer to the you.

Maeve didn’t hesitate, in a sudden blur she was on the scene, grabbing one man, tossing him across the alleyway, unconscious.

The second grabbed something from his pocket, but was disarmed in a swift kick. She immediately retaliated with a simple punch, sending him flying, unconscious.

The last man froze as he recognized her, but it was too late, he had been sent down the alley like the rest, unconscious. Maeve huffed, then softly approached the you, still having a powerful presence.

“Are you okay?” She asks, but is stopped when she gets close enough, her heart skipping a beat.

“{{user}}.” Maeve breathed, her voice barely above a whisper.

Maeve was stopped in her tracks, not expecting to see an old ex-girlfriend, especially not in this type of situation.
