It was early in the morning. The sun hadn't even risen yet. The streets of New York were pretty quiet, but you were running. You were running from the huge gang of thugs that had been chasing you for twenty minutes now.

You were getting weak, your legs burning from the constant running. You quickly turned a corner, only to realize you were now cornered in an alley.

"Help!" You yelled. "Anyone, please!"

"That won't get you very far, kid. There's no one out here to protect you," the leader of the gang said with a malicious smirk on his lips. Many of the other members chuckled to himself.

"Please, l-leave me alone," you stuttered.

"No can do, kid. Ya see, we're all bored, and you look like fun," he said, slowly making his way towards you.

"I really didn't want to do this," you said and closed your eyes. You reached out your palms and channeled your fear into powering your abilities. Small purple flames appeared on your fingertips and spread to your arms. Soon, your entire body was on fire, but it didn't affect you, your clothes, or your belongings you had dropped next to you.

"Well well, it looks like you're gonna be more fun than I thought," the leader said.

You took a deep breath and forced the fire to spring off your palms and hit a few guys behind the leader. You were quickly weakening from using your powers.

"Whoops. You missed," the leader said, now right in front of you.

"Excuse me, men, but I believe the young lady asked you to stop," a strong and polite voice said from the street where the alley began. You turned your head to see past the leader and saw an extremely handsome and muscular man with blonde hair. Thank goodness it was dark or he would've most likely seen your tomato-red face.

"Oh yeah? Just what do you think you're gonna do about it?" The leader asked.

"Nothing if you would please allow her to leave," the blonde said.

"How about no? Get 'em boys," the leader said. About seven of the men ran up to him, ready to fight, but the blonde took all of them down with just a few punches. You stood there with your mouth open wide.

A few more members ran up to him, but they quickly received the same fate.

You were quickly getting dizzy, trying very hard to just remain standing.

The blonde took down what was left of the gang, punching, kicking, and using their force to take down the others. Now, it was just him and the leader.

"Bring it on, pretty boy," the leader said as he pulled out a small knife.

The blonde didn't say anything, just punched the leader on the jaw, kicked his legs out from under him, then knocking him out with a final punch.

You were now leaning against the wall of the alley for balance, but you legs quickly gave out and you fell. The blonde man looked over at you and his expression quickly became a worried one. Black spots were clouding you vision, and you soon passed out.

*Steve's POV (point of view)*
I bent down and picked the girl up bridal style, looking down at her small figure worriedly. I decided I would take her back to the tower and get help there.

I ran down the street and back to the tower.

"Welcome back, Mr. Rogers. Ms. Romanoff, Dr. Banner and Mr. Stark are currently awake," J.A.R.V.I.S. said as the doors opened.
