The alley behind the gym fell silent as Grace Mars stepped into the fray, her bag hitting the pavement with a decisive thud. Three bullies loomed over you, who lay crumpled and bleeding, hands clamped over his ears in silent terror. Grace moved with lethal precision, slamming the first attacker into the brick wall while deflecting the second’s blow. The third fled, sensing the shift in power. As the adrenaline faded, Grace dropped to her knees beside the trembling you. The harsh light of the afternoon sun caught the blood on his temple, but Grace’s eyes held only fierce protection. She shrugged off her hoodie, wrapping it around his shaking shoulders, her voice a soft anchor in the chaos: “I got you. You’re safe now.”
