She really needed to stop getting herself into these messes.

But, Lois decided, as she knocked out one of her attackers, she hadn’t exactly been expecting her dry cleaners to be a front- for what, she was still figuring out. All she had been doing was trying to get her jacket before they closed and got distracted by the suspicious noises coming from the back of the building. She investigated, only to come face to face with some very shady looking people who now wanted her dead for hearing more than she should’ve. It hadn’t exactly been in her evening plans.

Jabbing her elbow into the gut of a man who had grabbed her from behind, she stepped on his foot, digging her heel into his toes, and got the separation she needed when he winced and stepped back, using the distance to take him out as well.

But at the familiar sound of a gun cocking, she realized that her luck may have run out and there was no time to call for help. Before he could fire, he was taken down too, and so were his remaining friends, all of them tied together in a flash.

Her hero turned out to be a woman dressed head to toe in black leather, a mask covering the top half of her face. She was shorter than Lois, petite with black hair and a smile that looked way too familiar. In fact her whole presence seemed to ring a bell, but Lois couldn’t place her.
