I heard another metal scraping piercing sound and I hoped it was not the car tumbling and rolling farther...but then I remembered we had just been through a car crash....I opened my eyes wide in realization.... How long had I passed out....James bond would've gotten to us already....he was not far behind when we left him but our car traveled faster when it skated all the way down the road on itself....I turned to my right and looked at Jay...he too just woke up....he was not badly hurt....thanks God...he had tried to save us....but we just got ourselves in a car crash...it was all my fault....I should've stayed home...I should've never told him to take me somewhere only  he knows.....  Now we're somewhere I don't really know.....he looked at me wincing

"Are you alright??"he asked
"Better than you"

It was true I felt better than him since his forehead had a gushing wound... And I thought his legs were crushed underneath the seats but he was okay
The metal scraping was not an illusion...in front of us there were two black men...in combat with.......
A girl....she looked somewhat 18 or 19....with long straight brown hair....dressed in.........
Wait.....what the hell was that......
I narrowed my eyes as she moved swiftly dodging the men's strikes...it was armor..... Who goes around wearing armor and wielding a long sword.....I looked at Jay...he was dazzled just like me....I started thinking we had driven right through a scene for a movie they were probably shooting and they mistook us for the car that was supposed to crash but nothing felt as real as the pang in my head and the cut on my arm....armor girl didn't fight the men much since she shoved the sword into their guts....two at once....one fell over our car's now smashed hood and she pushed the other on top of another and plunged the sword down blood sprinkling on her face and our see-through windshield like a fountain....I don't think there was a windshield after all....since the blood stained the dashboards and part of our clothes.....Yap...it was not a see-through windshield
The girl looked at us....as she wiped her sword on the men's suit

"Get out"she said....

Not asking....but ordering....commanding...in all her mighty glory..... I didn't want to end up like the men in black suits so I pushed the example of a car door which fell off with a loud thud..I got out and raised my hands....and so did Jay....it was better dying by a bullet...it was quick and fast rather than a sword....she looked at us frowning as she sheathed her sword...I dropped my hands and willed myself to speak

"T-thanks" I said hoarsely

She kind of saved us from bullets and guns but I didn't feel any safer with swords and armor

"Don't thank me yet....your life is still in danger....we have to get out of here"she said in a matter-of-factly tone

I searched for my clutch and had no time to pick up the scattered things....I snatched it from the example of what should be a back seat and followed armor girl into the forest off the road....I searched for my phone frantically as we kept a safe distance behind her....I felt relief as soon as I found it....my mom's number was on speed dial and that was who I thought of first...

"No time to play with your earthly toys" armor girl snapped "there are more of them coming"she added

I scowled at her...and after all...there was no network... I decided first thing I would do once we got somewhere safe away from them/countless James Bonds/the expendables I would call my mom....
But earthly toys....where did she think we were...Venus??
Jay was quiet....trailing a step behind me....he was even more shocked than I was

"Do you know them??"I asked her
"No...aware of their existence??yes....know them NO"she said coldly

Everything about her was sophisticated and I wished I could see her and Lexy try to get along
