Katie was just your ordinary average kind of girl. She had left her home in Tim buck Too Kansas to explore a career on the stage of Broadway. Well as things go it wasn't a bad dream just a little out of her reach.

Katie was working as a waitress at a downtown New York café for nearly 2 months now and she had gone to every theater in New York but still she had not been called her for a second audition but Katie never gave up and just kept trying.

Katie had read a lot of books on acting and had went to some acting workshops at The New York Film Academy. () The work shops had helped make her a better actress. She'd gotten a few parts as an extra but no line only a visual part.

Despite not getting any real parts Katie was happy living in New York. Yes, it was busy and crowded and some people were rude but she loved it. She worked two jobs by day a waitress at a local diner and by night tending bar at a dance club. The only thing was tough is when she had a morning shift at the diner after a 1 am night at the club but 4 hours of sleep for a 25 year old was plenty.

She had Sundays off and occasionally a day or so during the week when she needed to do day time errands. The girls at the diner were always happy to swap shifts. It worked out for all of them.

Then he came and destroyed the diner she worked in and left the dance club in rubble. What kind of luck did she have that both places would be left in ruins and a loss of two jobs. Thank goodness her apartment building was far from downtown. Katie had a lot of saving and she was able to find a good job doing receptionist work for Stark Industries. It was a good paying job and the got both Saturday and Sunday's off.

Her new job allowed her to explore night classes for acting but something had changed in her. Her heart didn't seem to be into acting like it was before. She started taking a Karate class at the YMCA a couple of times a week and was getting very good at it. Her instructor was recommending she sign up for classes at qualified Dojo.

Katie had found a Dojo just around the corner from her little one bedroom apartment. Her Sensei said she was a natural and Katie advance very fast. Katie while working at Stark Industries also had use of the fitness club within the building so worked out after after work and sometimes on her lunch hour.

Soon Katie was noticing that she had changed her whole body to was stronger and leaner than ever before. Perhaps is was the fear of the darkness that had fallen on the city and did so much destruction so much lost fear can be so debilitating. The more Katie learned the stronger she became inside and out.

Now when Katie would walk through the building in her sleeveless blouse she would get several double takes form her co-workers. Even the delivery guy would ask her from time to time if she was working out and what she was doing because she looked tough.

One day on the subway ride home from work she caught a group of youths bullying an old man. When she asked them to stop or she would inform the deputy on duty they came at her and she had to defend herself. The young boys were taken into custody and sent off to boys school from troubled teens.

The whole issue had gotten the attention to Mr. Stark he had his President of the company call me into her office and speak with her about it. Mrs. Potts was very impressed with my heroic deed. She offered me a promotion as a personal secretary to one of her vice Presidents. The job came with a lot of perks and Katie was able to afford a better apartment closer to work.

Everything seemed to be going in her direction until she accidentally bumped into the old man she saved in the subway. Katie had been given a driver to pick her up at home and take her to work daily. Her boss really enjoyed all that she did got him organized in a way no other assistant ever had but he worried for her safety so convinced Katie to accept an escort of a car and driver. Katie wasn't sure at first but she began to think that her boss had her watched and something was wrong. She hadn't noticed she was being followed but she knew now the truth.
