Hammerhead has posed:
Eastchester is not exactly the worst neighborhood in the Bronx, but it still has it problems. Hammerhead, while currently trying to expand to Metropolis and Gotham, has not neglicted his "home turf" and has been trying to expand his operations deeper into the Bronx. The small neighborhood you find yourself walking through hasn't had any ciolent crime recently, but rumors of a syndicate moving into this area has spread around. You are walking down the street when you suddenly hear a violent crash coming from a small Mom and Pop Antique Store. If you were to investigate, you would see a group of five men in pin-stripped suits standing near the counter and a old woman cowering before them. At the corner of the counter is a old man lying on the ground with a bleeding gash on his head and a pair of broken glasses nearby.

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl walks strolls into the antique store like she's stepping in for a casual bit of window shopping. She stops and looks at an old rocking chair and pushes a finger against it to set it to moving. The young woman is quite a sight, gray skin and eyes which lick with infernal flame. But still she seems to completely ignore the thugs and the robbery and continues to look around.

Hammerhead has posed:
The head thug, a tall, muscular man with a mustache cracks his knuckles and says to the old woman," Listen here. You will pay Hammerhead protection every month or else! Capiche!" The old woman just nodded and let out a scared noise. The head thug then proceeded to open the cash register and look through it while the woman's husband just groaned on the floor. Meanwhile, another one of the thugs, a medioum sized man wearing sunglasses and with a scar on his cheek notices Zombie-Girl and starts to walk up to her, not noticing her flaming green eyes. He goes up to her and says in a thick, Bulgarian accent," Beat it, we are doing business here. You can shop later!"

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl puts picks up a Norman Rockwell snowglobe and gives it a shake. "Business? Is that what you're calling it? Did you all flunk of of business school or something? Here lemme show you how the capitalist system works." She walks past the goon that appraoched her and strolls over to the register and places the snowglobe on the counter. She then reaches into the pocket of her jacket and lays a ten dollar bill on the counter. "Hello there," she says to the old man. "I wish to purchase this snowglobe, for which I intend to exchange legal tender."

Hammerhead has posed:
The old woman just nodded fearfully, now more scared by the presense of the seemingly demonic looking young woman and grabbed the money and placed it in the cash register. Meanwhile, the thugs at the register did nothing, byt looked visably angrey at the smart-ass movie Zombie-Girl has did in front of them. Meanwhile, The Bulgarain, who at this point, was seething in anger, picked up a fire poker and rushed up at Zombie-Gilr and swung at her while saying," Take this smart-ass!"

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl turns on her heel and places her arms in front of her in an X position, intending to catch the poker in front of herself. It wouldn't be a very smart move for a normal person, but luckily she is all but immune to pain. "Oh, I'm so gonna go John Wick on all of you Godfather wannabe assholes," she says and wrinkles her nose into a snarl.

Hammerhead has posed:
The Bulgarain man's wise widened when the swing of the fire poker seemingly did nothing to the now absolutley demonic looking young woman. At her threat, one of the thugs, a shorter man dashed out of the store, not wanting to get invovled in a fight with somoene immune to pain. The Bulgarain, in perhaps not his smartest move, tried to swing the fire poker at her again while another thug tried to to punch her in the face with brass knuckles.

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl pulls grabs hold of the poker with one hand and tugs on it. She doesn't put all of her prodigious strength behind it, but enough to provoke the Bulgarian into a tug-of-war with the poker. Once (and if) the man gives a good hard tug on it she intends to let go, and teach him a valuable lesson in Newton's laws. "Okay. So I'm guessing that you mooks don't have the brain power to organize a bake sale, let alone a gang. So I'm guessing that you have a... boss..Don? Whatever. Anyway. When you see him again you're going to tell him that da Bronx belongs to the Zombie-Girl. Capiche?"

Hammerhead has posed:
The Bulgarain, as predicted goes flying with from the iron poker tug-of-war and lands flat on his back. Two more of the goons run out of the area, among them being the one who punched her. The head thyg just lets out a snarl of anger and pulls out his pistol and starts to shoot at Zombie-Girl, with the Bulgarain following shortly after.

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl Stumbles back from the punch to the face. A bit of a luminous green fluid leaks from the corner of her mouth in lieu of blood. "Oh hey. That wasn't that bad. That was a solid six out of ten. I'm serious. But now I'm thinking. If you all run out of here without a scratch on you. Then your boss might not take me seriously." She cracks her knuckles and looks to the man who punched her. "You just volunteered." The shots easily tear through her clothing and flesh. She's not Superman after all. But despite now leaking puddles of that fluid from the new holes in her torso, she otherwise doesn't react. She holds her arms straight out to the side, like she's getting ready to take a bow, before flashing an almost demonic smile.

Hammerhead has posed:
The two gangsters remaning just stand there in horror as the bullets do absolutley nothing to her. The Bulgarain immediatley dashes out, saying swear words in his native language. This only left the lead gangster, who immeidaltey dashed for the old man, who was still lying on the ground and pointed a gun at his head and said to her," Leave, or i will kill him!"

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl shakes her head. "Now let me tell you exactly why that's a bad idea. As it stands, you're probably just going to leave here with a few broken bones. But if you would do something so incredibly stupid then you will never walk again. You will need someone to feed you and wipe your ass. I'll leave you blind and stuck in a wheelchair. Then I will do everything in my power to see that you live a long LONG life like that. Then when you do finally die and go to Hell, and trust me you're well on your way, I'll return there and show you what I learned in my own stint there. Put down the gun, and call the cops. NOW."

Hammerhead has posed:
The Thug immediatley pulls the gun away from the old man. But, instead of putting it away and calling the cops, he threw the gun at Zombie Girl's face and tried to dash out of the store, following after his own men.

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl feels her nose nearly break when the gun collides with it. She shakes her head and runs after the man. Super strength means leg strength, means she isn't a slouch in the running department. As she runs she starts yelling out the sound effect from the Friday the 13th series when Jason is stalking his victims. "Ch-ch-ch-ch! Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Hammerhead has posed:
The final thug starts running even faster once he hears the Jason's sound affects. He turns his head around and saw Zombie-Girl closing in on her. He eventually starts gasping for air and slowing down. Realizing that he was about to get caught, the man dashes into the alley and jumps up onto a nearby fire escapes ladder, which was a bit off the ground and started to climb it,

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl grabs hold of the fire escape ladder in both hands and starts to violently shake it. As the woman is about strong enough to lift a car over her head, this isn't a small shimmey. Instead it would be more like being caught climbing a ladder in a very energetic earthquake. "Red rover red rover, let the dumbass goon come over!" she shouts up at him.

Hammerhead has posed:
The man falls to the ground with a heavy thud. The man groans in pain and holds his back. He then looks up at Zombie-Girl with a face of horror and says," Alright, i get da message. I will split from here. Just leave me alone!"

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl grabs the man by the ankle and unceremoniously begins to drag him back down the street and back to the antique store. "No. I already told you what was going to happen. You're calling the police. Your cooperation is directly proportional to just how many bones get broken." As she walks down the street with the man in tow she tosses a few friendly waves at pedestrians and motorists. When she gets back to the store she leans down and slugs the man in the side hard enough to crack a rib. She looks to the owners and says, "This man wants to talk to the police. Right?"

Hammerhead has posed:
The man groans in pain as he is punched in the stomach. He then nods at the mention of calling the police. The old woman immedialtey goes out to call the police. Meanwhile, the old man, who was at his feet at this point, weakly walks up to the man and kicks him at the cracked rib, making the thug cry out even louder.

Zombie-Girl has posed:
Zombie-Girl barks out a laugh when the old dude kicks the goon in the cracked ribs. She pats down the goon to make sure he isn't hiding any more weapons. When the sirens get close she turns to the shop owners. "Right. So as I'm supposed to be dead, I really don't feel like giving a statement to the police. They'll be here in under a minute or so. If he gets up..." She looks up to the counter where the gun is. "Shoot him in the leg or something. But he won't run, because I'm going to be watching from the alley. If he wants his knees to only bend in one direction, he'll stay put." With that she picks up her new snow globe and heads out of the store.
