Falling Down (TWS)

>"Who are you" and "what do you want from me" come to mind.

"Fine, I'll bite. Who are you and what do you want from me."

"Hmm," she replied, "Well, not goin' to give you my real name partner, but I have a few nicknames. I guess my favourite one is Iron Misha. I got that from a Russian, and it caught on.

"As for your second question, it's not what I want, I'm just... a courier of sorts. But what I do know is that you've got a secret pal, something they really want to know more about."

Okay, now I can panic. Somebody heard about my amnesia then, that or there's another way to track whatever we are. I try to discern from her that might give me a hint, but she was the same as before. She was taking off her hat and scarf, and as she moved onto her overcoat noticed something.

When her shoulders were free from the coat, I could tell that somehow, she had became shorter. Not enough that I could say that the coat was what caused the height difference. She had a layer of some grey material covering her clothes, and I could recognise the marks left by gunfire.

"So not only are you bulletproof, but you shrink too. You're full of surprises lady."

"Well actually buster I'm not bulletproof. What my ability is, see, is being able to change my muscle density. I'm taking suggestions for catchy name for that by the way.

"What I'm wearing is, uhh, well it's got some technical term but all I know of it is it stops bullets. Mostly. So no, when you done shot me I wasn't unharmed. I got bruises in more places than I'd like to mention. But that alone wouldn't stop me getting killed, it's not that effective, it just stops the bullet piercing into my body. That's where my power comes up. I get bigger and tougher. Not really a girls best trait, so I prefer to keep covered up. You follow?"


This woman is strange. Misha? Muscle Density? Not that I'm very good with nicknames. But someone wants me for my power, a power even I don't know about. Guess I should help her out first, maybe trick her into getting these cuffs off.
