Unlikely "help" after a rough landing

"Hey, lady! Are you all right?" said a voice.

Valerie moaned, annoyed at being disturbed.

"Dude, she moved! I told ya - she's alive!"

"Unngh", she groaned, irritation growing as the voices became louder. Why were they not letting her rest..

Suddenly, Valerie's eyes sprang open. Her mind began to race. Fuck fuck fuck,_ she thought. How long have I been out?_

She tried to get up, only to be reminded of the pain in her body as she tried to move. A small cry of pain escaped her lips, and she stopped moving while trying to examine the damage. Thankfully, she was lying in a patch of moist soil. There were bruises on her body, likely from where she had hit the branches, but thankfully the wounds seemed only skin deep. Likely, it was those branches that had broken her fall just enough for her to not be seriously hurt.

She put her hand to her ear, but didn't find her earpiece. She cursed under her breath - it had likely come loose and fallen off during her fall. She didn't have an easy way to contact Iris and Hawk. She needed to find-

The sound of a camera flash interrupted her thoughts. She suddenly remembered her nakedness, and turned red. She covered her boobs with her hands and braved through the pain, sitting up and taking in her surroundings. It was still dark out, which was good - it meant she hadn't been out for long. The park was dark and completely deserted - except for two teenage boys standing in front of her. Their phones were the only source of light, making her squint as they had trained them directly onto her.

"Ethan, what the hell!" one of them said.

"Shut up, Jake." the other one said. "We found a naked chick! I'm recording no matter what."

"Dude, we have to help her. What if someone-"

"You're too cringe, man. If you don't want to go viral, be my guest. I'm about to light up my socials with this bitch-"

Valerie decided to intervene, for the exchange seemed to be headed into dangerous territory. "Wait!" she interrupted. "You have to help me." She got up on her feet, gritting her teeth through the pain.

As soon as she spoke, the boys shut up, as if surprised she could talk. They regarded her with caution, before she saw one of them - Jake, most likely - began to take off his t-shirt - only for the other one to stop him.

"Stop." said the much larger boy - Ethan, apparently - in a commanding voice. Jake hesitated but obeyed him.

Ethan turned to Valerie, an evil sneer plastered on his face. "Why should we help you?"

"Please. Help me. I just need to make a call. I was-" she pleaded, using her sweetest voice, but he cut her off.

"I'm recording you right now. All I need is to tap a button, and you'll go viral, naked in front of the entire world." he said menacingly.

"Dude, what the hell-" Jake began to protest, but Ethan simply punched him hard in the stomach. The small, bespectacled boy fell to the ground, reeling in pain. Valerie's eyes widened while she stood, frozen in place. In another situation, she could have tried to take down the big guy, but her body was screaming in agony. It was taking all of her strength just to not collapse to the ground.

"What do you want?" she asked through gritted teeth, trying her best to cover her exposed body.

Ethan simply grinned.
