"Mama! Look!" I did flips in the backyard, Natasha swing on the swing.

"You're going to hurt yourself." Natasha taunts. "Remember you almost broke your leg from chasing Yelena?"

"Am not! I have to practice, dad said that I'll need to."

"You be careful!" She yells as she watches. I did a front flip, back flip and then when I did a flip, I landed on my arm and screamed in pain. Mama and papa ran over to me, dropping what they were doing. I held onto my arm and rolled on the grass. "Lets see, Alexi." He carries me inside, setting me down on the couch. They were worried, they didn't want to take me to the hospital, that was a big no rule. Natasha and Yelena stood by the side and watched.

"We have to put into place before we can put in a sling okay?" I shook my head, crying. It hurt so bad.

"Baby, we have to." Mama wipes my tears. She holds my hand. Alexi grips my arm and snaps it back. I screamed even louder. Mama hugs me and told papa to get me the bunny. "See, all we have to do is wrap it and you'll be good as new." She shushes me. "Pain only makes you stronger." Papa kneels down and makes me look at him.

"My girl, the toughest one." He shows his muscles. "You're all good."

I had to find them. Daredevil needs my help, i have to save him from the Punisher. I zipped up my top and headed back into the streets. I need to find him. I stayed in the same area where we were before, i knew they didn't go that far. I was a few blocks away and i can hear shouting. Found them. I stepped onto the roof and watched them. The devil was out of it, he probably got knocked out a couple times. I walked up to the daredevil and saw him tied up in chains and a gun taped to his hand.

"What-what are you doing here?" He tells me. "You need to leave."

"Im Saving your ass." I tried to get him out but cant. I had nothing to get him out. I hear someone behind us. "Wait here, dont move." I went around and saw the tall man, stomping his feet heading to the chained man. Just as he was going to point a gun at the mans head, i ran in, grabbing the punishers arm, tossing him to the ground and got on top of him. "Oh! Did i interrupt something?" The man tries to get out but my bite was on his neck, ready to shock him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"Who the hell are you?" He mumbles in his deep husky voice.

"You're new here aren't you?"

"The hell I'm supposed to call you?"

"You can call me whatever you like." I looked at the man in the mask and smiled. "They call me the Red Widow, you can call me yours." The devil struggle to get out of the chains. He just wanted me not to kill the Punisher. "Jealous? I don't mind sharing, I can take turns." My fingers made their to the mans face, touching his scruffy beard.

"Enough." The devil growls.

"You dont want anyone playing around with whats yours?" I looked at him again. "I get it."

"Stop." He stopped struggling. The man twisted my arm and throws me across the roof. I groan as I hit the wall. "Frank!" I heard a gunshot and saw the devil out of the chains and attacked him. I got up, and fought. The devil beats Franks face repeatedly. When he goes to check on Grotto, Frank had his gun pointed at the the club downstairs.

"No!" He pulls the trigger before I kicked him. The bikes blew up and I grabbed Franks gun and hit him with it. He stops me, tosses the gun away and came at my neck. He kicks my side and I raised my arm. The bites powered up, shocked him and knocked him out cold. "We have to go, bikers are on their way." I told the daredevil.

"Help me with him." I turned around slowly.

"Are you insane!? This guy almost killed you and you want to save him?" I argued with him.

"Now!" I groan and I helped him carry Frank down to the elevator. I can hear them coming. The doors opened and we tossed him in there. I hit the button to go down, but it was so slow. "Hit the button!"

"I am! Im sorry you want me to do it faster?" I sped up the clicking. Bikers got in and started to run towards us down the hall. "Hey, we got some company." Just as the doors closed, he opens them up again and steps out. "Seriously!" I hopped out too. A old man steps out his place to check out what was happening. The devil wraps the chain around one of the bikers check and used the gun to point at them.

"Drop the gun! Drop it!" They all put their hands up. "You okay sir?"

"Yes." The old man crouches down.

"Get in your apartment. Lock the door."

"What about you?" He hits the light, making them go out.

"Im good." He hits the man with gun and points it back at the others. He pulls the trigger and it was empty. The men charged at us. I jumped on the walls and sat on their shoulders and choked them. The devil uses his chains and managed to get them down. We look at the hall of the bikers, now passed out.

"You had blanks! Are you joking?!"

"We can't kill them."

"You're no fun." We head down the hall and beat up more bikers. Tasing them, kicking them, hitting them. It was never ending and I did miss the fun. He kicks the door and hit the bikers face, making the man fall down the stairs. I hopped down and grabbed my batons and hit them with it. The men scream and yell out as I came at the running. The devil whips the chain at one dude in front of me and takes him down.

"Ahhh!" A man runs to me, kicks me to the wall and I was pissed.

"You shouldn't have done that!" I spun around and kicked him off the stairs and watched him fall down. The devil grabs my arm. "Oops, force of habit." Two men came behind us and we got each others back. I took mine down first and shocked the other one. "Come on." We ran down the stairs and made it to the first floor. We opened the door, red lights flashing as we walked down the steps. Three big men come out of no where. "Let me have them." The devil cracks his neck and I smiled. This is going to be fun. We walked down the steps and attacked. "Hi big guy." I started hitting them, they hit me back and tossed me to the wall. I smiled too much. I grabbed a crow bar and hit them with hit. I had the two men while the devil got one, and he was struggling. I hit one of them on the shins and kicking them in the face while I hit the other one with crow bar in the face. I took a look to see the last man pinning the devil on the wall. I tasered him and flipped him on his back. The devil pushed me out of the way and flipped to knock out one other one cold. "Nice flip, maybe work on your stance, you were a bit wobbly there at the end."

"This isn't Gymastics."

"Well, you need it sweetie." The elevator opens and we see Frank still out cold.

"The police are on their way. You should get out of here."

"Looking out for me? Aw." We both pant. "Hope to do this again, we make a great team. Hey, what should i call you? I don't want to keep calling you daredevil."

"I cant give you my real name so, just call me Mike." He coldly said.

"Well Mike, I wont give you my real name so call me Dani."

"Go." I ran out of the building and headed back home. River left and I showered and changed. I munched on some candy as a reward for well done. I laid on my bed and called Matt. He answers.

"Hey!"

"Hi! Whats up?" He sounded rushed. But he was home, i can hear his footsteps and his floors creaking.

"So, River told me that my mom wants to meet you, like wants to make dinner and chat with you. I know its late, but it is tomorrow. He did give me a last minute thing like always. If you don't want to go its okay! No pressure."

"No, yeah, i would like to go. Tomorrow at?"

"My mom likes late dinners so like around 9."

"Sounds good. Ill be there, with you. I wont forget."
