Stay put and wait for backup (neutral path)

"We have nothing we can do without endangering ourselves too. We stay here and wait for backup" I said to Lydia, she agreed, there was nothing we could do to better the situation. An attack to intervene would only endanger those who are still alive and us, and might cause more harm. We continued to watch them from our hiding spot.

The man to the left of the shooter was yelling at the kneeling men, it was too far away to hear it, also he was holding his hand to his heavily bleeding nose. The bigger guy to the right of the shooter looked like he tried to soothe the situation and convince his "colleagues" to stop.

The next thing we heard was a scream coming from the gunman as he held his, what used to be, right arm in pain with his left, his severed right palm lay on the ground in front of him still holding the gun. A black figure appeared out of nowhere and crashed hard on the bigger man on the right. From the other side another figure appeared jumping over the kneeling men toward the skinny guy, as they fell head first after being hit by something she shot.

"Shit.. Batgirls" Lydia cursed. "Fuck, where's the backup?" She cursed again. We could hear sirens coming from afar, but they were still few moments away. I started running towards the clearing as Lydia shouted behind me. I was late, the two figures finished and were now retreating with a big bag. They grappled away too quickly for me to catch up.

"Fuck!" it was my turn to curse, as Lydia caught up to me. "Don't worry, we weren't a match for them anyway, we'll catch them in the future" she said while panting. "Come let's check for survivors" she pointed towards the men laying in the clearing. As the police officers approached, Lydia managed to bandage up the man with the severed arm with a torn cloth from his shirt.

As the ambulance came, and the men were taken to care and custody, apparently all members of some gangs. Lydia and I sat at a bench after giving our statements, "So my brave boy saw how it's like to grow up in my neighborhood? Don't worry, I'm glad you didn't catch up to the Batgirls, I would hate it if anything would've happened to this pretty face." she said as she gently caressed the face in question with two fingers. Her lips were glistening in the light of the ambulance, and as she ran her fingers through my hair and pulled me closer to her face I could taste those lips. It took us a few seconds to break apart, and once we did our eyes met. "So... My place or yours? Keep in mind mine is about five minutes away" She asked with a smile.
