I wake up to the sound of gunshots outside my tent.

God I just wanted a peaceful camping trip.

I crawl out of the thin tent silently, looking for the source of the gunshots.

I spot a bunch of kids toying around with a handgun. Shooting it into the air.

I watch silently as they pass the gun around taking turns shooting.

It gets to one guy who looks much older than everyone else, he takes the gun and inspects it. Then without a second though cocks, aims, and shoots at the blonde guy in front of him.

Nope. Not how this morning was supposed to go.

At least I was taught one useful thing by my sperm donor. How to disarm someone with a loaded gun.

I quickly, but silently run towards him, he'd already shot 2 other kids.

The autumn leaves under my feet are a dead give away to the shooter, who turns to look at me. He raises his gun and shoots twice. Luckily I had already started running in a zigzag so he missed both times.

Once close enough I lunge towards him, grabbing the gun in the commotion. I climb off, cock and aim the gun. Luckily he has the common sense to stay down.

I yell at one of the remaining boys to call the cops. And see him pull out his phone.

"Who the hell are you?" The shooter asks.

"I could ask you the same question. I could also ask why your shooting teenagers." I respond bringing the gun closer to his face.

"You crazy bitch." He mutters.

"You should meet my father." I retort. "Your going to have one hell of a time in prison." I finish hearing sirens coming closer.

The cops immediately assume I'm the one causing trouble, which is understandable even without knowing my history. They take the gun and cuff me.

I know there's no point in resisting, but as I start being pushed towards the police car, lights still going, one of the survivors runs overs

"They're innocent officer. He's the shooter. She saved us!" The kid says, he looks like he's only 14.

The officer doesn't believe him at first.

"That true?" He asks the other boy, who nods in response.

The cop quickly un-cuffs me and heads over to the shooter.

"You really didn't have to do that kid." I say, rubbing my wrists.

"Are you kidding? You saved our asses! Your like Black Widow!" He says, his eyes are full of hope and happiness. It's kind of nice to be compared to an original Avenger, though if she had heard that I'm sure she'd be insulted.

"What happened here?" The officer asks. It had been a bit since the conversation with the kid, and they needed some information.

"I was camping." I say pointing over at my sad excuse for a tent. "I woke up to some gunshots and saw him shoot a few of the boys. I have a- uh- martial arts background and used that to disarm him."

The officer writes something down in a notepad before thanking me for my time, and leaving, taking the other 2 boys with him.

I head back to my tent and grab my last soggy sandwich out of the cooler. Splitting it in half, and giving one to the chocolate lab that couldn't be bothered to wake up.

"Rocky you really couldn't be any lazier could you?" I ask as we both wolf down our sandwich halves.

He glares at me a bit.
