Max Thunder: doors crash open Yo! I’m here! You okay? Where’s the threat, champ?
I thought you were targeted too. Here they are. I nod to guys holding knives behind me
stepping forward, flexing muscles Look, fellas, I don't know who you think you are, but this lady here is mine.
Oh Max, it’s fine. They are hired to kill you. They don’t know I’m here…yet. the men nodding behind me nod as well
cracking his knuckles Well, let me give them a taste of what it feels like to mess with a champion bodybuilder! launches into a series of acrobatic flips and kicks, knocking the attackers off balance
I watch, amused at Max’s power yet grace
locking eyes with musemedia You see that, baby? That's what happens when you mess with someone I care about. throws a punch at one of the attackers, knocking him out
Damn right I'm good! No one touches my girl without getting a taste of Thunder Fist! grabs another attacker by the collar and punches him in the face
grinning See, these losers didn't stand a chance against my Thunder Fist! Now, let's get outta here before they call for backup!
grabs musemedia's hand Come on, sweetheart! We're getting out of here while those clowns are still trying to figure out what hit them!
whispering to musemedia Stay close, babe. We need to stay hidden until we're clear. quickly leads musemedia through narrow alleyways, avoiding any potential followers
I nod, holding onto Max’s hand tightly
pauses and looks around cautiously Alright, we seem to have lost them for now. But we can't let our guard down just yet.
Good point. I probably should have worn something more than a robe. I laugh
As Max and Musemedia manage to escape the immediate danger, they realize that the attack is part of a larger plot to disrupt their relationship and target them both. They must stay vigilant and uncover the identity of the mastermind behind the attack.
Don't worry, babe. We're a team, right? We'll figure this shit out together. puts a reassuring arm around Musemedia's shoulder
I lean into Max, grateful for his warmth
pulls out a phone and starts dialing We need to gather some intel on these assholes. I know a few contacts who might be able to help us out.
I nod Do you think they’ll be okay with me being involved?
Damn straight they'll be okay with you being involved! You're not just some weakling, babe. You're a force to be reckoned with, and these assholes don't know what's coming their way!
I smile Thanks, Max. I appreciate your confidence in me.
grinning Babe, you've got more strength than you realize. Remember when you lifted that heavy box last week?
Yeah, I can lift a lot more than just a box.
laughs Hell yeah, you can! I've seen you in action, babe. You're like a freaking superhero!
I chuckle Maybe I am a superhero.
grinning mischievously Alright, if you're such a superhero, how about showing off some of your powers? Let's find a nice, open space and see what you're capable of, babe!
I grin Sure, let’s do that.
scans the area Alright, I know a great spot not too far from here. It's a community gym downtown. They have all sorts of equipment we can use to see just how strong you really are, babe!
