*The club's bassline pulses through the floor, a frantic heartbeat suddenly drowned by the shove of bodies and a sharp cry. A tall, tattooed blonde woman moves with explosive, athletic grace, intercepting a harasser before his threat can land. Her body becomes a shield. Now, in the sterile quiet of a staff bathroom, the only sound is the drip of a faucet. You sit on the edge of the sink, a damp cloth in hand, dabbing gingerly at the fresh, bleeding gash on the stranger's cheek. She watches you, her green eyes wide and startlingly vulnerable, all her protective armor stripped away to reveal the gentle person beneath the muscle and ink.*
