The Girl in the Gang (GMW)

Dropping Bullets

I entered the little white room with a big window to see the people on the other side. They shut me in and it sounded like they locked it many times. I could see Lucas pounding on the door, wanting me to get out.. but I just stood there. The speaker in there suddenly buzzed to life.
"We will see how you preform with no gun and no hand to hand combat." It said.
Suddenly, a huge gun came out from the wall with someone behind it. They were behind a wall, so I couldn't hurt them. Lucas was pounding on the door even harder now, and they had to pull him away and sit him on a chair and calm him down.

The man by the huge machine gun took aim at me and pulled the trigger. From then on everything moved in slow motion-just like that one movie (terminator, mafia... somethin like that). I ran away from all the bullets for a while then I considered trying to grab one.. one was speeding past my left hand, so I reached out to grab it. I grabbed it and headed for another. I did this until he stopped shooting, then I collapsed on the ground into a fertile position- overwhelmed with what just happened. The gunner walked out and about 10 minutes later I stood up and regained my composure. A few seconds later, the Boss walked in. He walked to me as if he was inspecting the damage to me. And I held out my hand and dropped all the bullets I caught. The Boss kept walking around me, and I could hear Lucas being held back from me. The guards finally let him go and he burst in the room and picked me up.
"Maya!!! Are you hurt? Are you ok? Any broken bones? You're alive!!! Oh my goodness Maya, I thought you'd never make it out!!" He was talking so fast-overcome with worry. I giggled, it was cute when he did that. The Boss cleared his throat and Lucas put me down.

"Blondie, that was impressive. I will construct a team of scientists to study you to find out how in the hell you did that. And I would like to ask you to join us." He said.
"That is way too dangerous- she could get hurt!" Lucas said.
"Cowboy, it is up to her to decide."
"Sure." I said, "I'll join, but what are you?"
