"But-" Alex said, but her words were drawn out by the noises of the combat. It's only been an hour since Alex and Ethan shyly introduced each other: but Alex found a liking to him. He was handsome, but didn't have the arrogance that the handsome guys had. Instead, his eyes spoke wisdom and pain. And she wanted to help this man ease his pain. She looked around until she saw an abandoned multi-cell battery with two insulated copper wires coming out of anode and cathode. She reached towards the battery, curious at first, and tested it. It worked wonders; sending blue sparks clesrly visible. She smiled as she hoisted that giant battery on one hand, the wires on another, and ran to the battle.
One thug with huge feather jacket from North Face jumped on Ethan, blocking his vision and inhibiting his movement. Another one snuck behind the thug to make sure his weight sent Ethan buckling down. These movements were clearly well-coordinated like a military squad's. Yet another thug tried to dodge to the back of Ethan to get a stab in when-
BZZZZZZZZZT
The thug was paralyzed, toppling down on the ground. There stood behind him, watching his back, was Alex, holding a giant battery pack that looked like it weighed at least 60 pounds.

As the weight of the thugs became too much, Ethan fell to one knee to prevent himself from falling to his back. Right after doing this, Ethan stabbed deep into the foot of the thug pushing against him. Right after doing that, Ethan heard a loud buzzing sound from behind, prompting him to quickly look behind. To his surprise, there was a thug behind him, one that could have stabbed him. Not only that, Alex was in the fight as well. To be honest, Ethan didn't know whether to be grateful that she saved him, or fearful for the fact that she was now in the fight, one that could easily be the death of her. Either way, Ethan would be sure to talk with her about it afterward, if both of them made it out alive.
Right then, Ethan snapped his attention back over to the man he had stabbed, pulled the knife out, and quickly leaned the unconscious thug to the side, trying to knock the injured thug off balance. Once Ethan had an opening, he then stabbed at the other thug's knee.

Alex and Ethan inadvertantly worked as an unbeatable duo for the thugs. Alex ikmobilizing the surprise factor led Ethan to be able to commence his own counterattack. The thug with feather jacket was strewn off the direction, clutching his feet in pain. The one behind suffered a similar fate, rolling on the ground whimpering. The only one left was the gunman and the Asian thug, probably the two more problematic. The gunman had a Glock 19 fully loaded, and the Asian had the muscular tone that reminisced Bruce Lee.
The gunman fired, but not towards Ethan but towards Alex. Alex instinctively held that huge battery of hers up to block the bullet. She blocked two of the three shots fired, but the other one struck her in the stomach.
Alex's face went livid. She charged towards the gunman who, at the sight of Alex doing what even men couldn't do when they were shot, shot three more times in fear. They either missed or hit the battery she had, and by the time the gunman had to reload Alex was already in electrocution range. He was paralyzed immediately.
The Asian grunt charged in, weaponless, shooting a roundhouse kick to Ethan's face. He definitely had some degree of training in martial arts.

Right after dealing with the two thugs, Ethan heard a a gunshot, then another. Right at that moment, Ethan glanced over to Alex and saw that she had deflected both shots with the battery, but only a second later, she was hit in the stomach by a third shot. Ethan lightly gasped and twitched in fear for Alex, that she could be seriously injured, but all of a sudden, Alex charged the gunman. This scared the gunman, causing him to panic and miss every shot after that, and right as Alex electrocuted the man, Ethan was about to help her. Unfortunately, Ethan was cut short when he saw the last thug in his peripherals. Right as Ethan turned towards the thug, he saw him perform a roundhouse kick aimed for the side of his head. Acting on reflex, Ethan quickly pulled the knife upward and aimed the pointed part of the blade towards the man's shin, blocking a portion of the kick's force and stabbing him in the ankle at the same time. The kick hurt Ethan's hand and caused him to nearly hit himself in the face with the knife's handle, but he managed to keep himself steady.

The asian thug screamed as he retracted his foot back. He had higher pain tolerance than others, as he kept on fighting even with a stab to his ankle. He chose a different strategy: instead of knocking his enemy down with one hit, he'll just wear the guy out. He ducked down, pulled his body back as to not get hit with a counter kick, and low-kicked Ethan's shins, sweeping his bloodied leg around.
Alex knelt on the ground, clutching her gunshot wound to slow down the bleeding. Gunfire from the now-immobilized gunman alerted the police, and a distant siren could be heard. The thief was nowhere in sight, but the purse was on the ground, abandoned.

As the kick connected with Ethan's shins, Ethan toppled over, yet still had some semblance of control, landing on his side and rolling onto his back so that he could defend against the inevitable attack that the thug would follow up with.

The siren was getting louder. Noticing that, the Asian thug limped away instead of trying to finish Ethan, jumping on a fence and running back to wherever he came from, leaving the other four thugs knocked down or dead on the ground.

As the thug ran away, Ethan quickly shot up and turned his attention over to Alex. Now that Ethan was not being attacked, he could run over to her and help her. Despite the fact that she had not only shrugged off the gunshot wound, but beat down the man that shot her, Ethan was still worried for her. For all he knew, she could have been struck in a vital area, meaning that she might have had minutes to live. With that in mind, Ethan ran over to the kneeling Alex, unsure of how her condition was.
"Alex, are you alright!?", Ethan asked as he approached her and knelt down in front of her, trying to check her wound.

"Yeah I'm- I'm fine." Alex stood up. The bullet punctured through her shirt and embedded itself inside her abs, but it avoided any of the vital organs, like stomach, pancreas, or liver. There was an alarming, but not serious amount of blood spilling out, but the fact that that amount of blood was pouring out even though Alex was squeezing the wound to stop the bleeding meant that the actual damage is probably more grave. "I can live."

As soon as Ethan saw the amount of blood Alex was losing, he quietly gasped before looking back at her.
"Not like this. Lay down, keep pressure on the wound, and relax. We need to slow the blood flow as much as possible. Lay your head on this, and I'll call for an ambulance.", Ethan said as he pulled off his jacket and rolled it up into a makeshift pillow before placing it on the ground for Alex.
After that, Ethan pulled out his cellphone and began to dial 911. He could hear the sirens in the distance, but he didn't want to take any chances.
