"What are you doing here?" (y/n) asked MJ, whose dark eyes were blown wide as she stared up at her, her breath quickening as the delayed panic was finally allowed to settle in.

"I had to deposit a check after my dentist appointment! What about you?! What are you doing here?!" she asked, her voice rising.

"MJ, you need to calm down-"

"Calm down?! I'm getting shot at, and you're here pulling some She-Ra armor shit an- Ahhhh!"

MJ screamed as multiple gunshots rang through the room, all of them directed towards the pillar they were behind, flying past them from the sides, caging them in. (Y/n) pushed herself back against the pillar, hugging MJ even tighter than before.

"Look, I know this is shocking for you, as well as stressful," she told her over the loud gunshots. "But my first priority is you and the others' safety. I need you to stay calm until this is all over. Can you do that?" she asked MJ.

The messy haired girl looked so different from how she normally did. Her calm and collected atmosphere, which she had always maintained, was dissipated, leaving MJ a nervous bundle of nerves, with her fearful eyes wide open as her fists shook in front of her chest. Nevertheless, she gave a nod. It was a wordless sign of trust, even if she was confused on so many levels.

"Y-Yeah, I can do that," she told (y/n) as the bullets ceased all of a sudden.

"Good," (y/n) whispered. "Now, put your arms around me. I'm going to try breaking the glass. Without them in the way, I can get these people out easier, and the police can help without having to enter the building," she said.

(Y/n) didn't waste time as she stretched out her hand to the side of her, and another light appeared. In her hand appeared a tall battle hammer, matching the giants armor she had previously donned a minute ago. The long handle was black, as the tip at the bottom came to a gold point that would dig into the ground. The head of the hammer resembled a piece of the earth that had been taken and placed on top, bound to the handle with gold. One half was flat and shaped like the top of a diamond, while the other end jutted out in various jagged points in a long triangle. On the arm holding MJ, the half-shield was summoned to cover them from any gunfire that came their way.

As MJ wrapped her arms around (y/n), her friend took off to the other side of the lobby, taking her hammer and smashing it through the glass as she ran across the lobby. MJ's head spun instantly, bringing on a slight migraine that seemed to grow until she noticed the world around her. The world seemed to slow down, the sounds wrapping to a more lapsed speed, and she watched as a bullet slowly moved past, no more than six inches from her nose. (Y/n) held her in one arm as she ran, blue light trailing behind her. It was the single most bizarre thing she had ever seen. She heard a muffled bang, making her look at the dark skinned man who had moved to the glass walls and doors, his gun pointed at them, with a bullet slowly coming at them. MJ's breath caught in her throat as she instinctively shrank back. She watched nervously as (y/n) continued to run towards him.

WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING?!, she thought as she glued her eyes to the bullet.

Then, her body froze as (y/n) moved out of the way, only to continue running towards the man. She didn't stop until she was right in front of him. (Y/n)'s hammer disappeared as she changed back into her giants armor, using her free hand to punch the man. MJ flinched as she heard (y/n)'s knuckles crack as they slammed against the man's face, his body creating a "thump" as it hit the hard flooring below. She watched as his body stilled, letting her know he was knocked out.

Two down, two to go, she thought.

Rushing to hide behind the nearest pillar, (y/n) turned around to look at her handiwork. A cold wind blew into the lobby as shattered glass lay on the floor, and the noise from the outside world flooded in. There was screaming from the crowd, police officers, and the people still inside. Chaos was erupting everywhere as the crowd outside and inside. Despite it all, MJ wasn't paying attention to it. Instead, she was looking up at her best friend, awestruck. Even though she was still terrified, one look at (y/n), and she knew she'd be ok.
