My arrival in the park went unnoticed by the three groups of shooters… that was until I decided to make myself known. I rapidly conjured two Lightspears in my hands and immediately hurled both of them towards one of the groups. Two shooters went down as my spears struck true. I repeated this two more times until I had taken out two people from each group.
“Marco! Miguel! They are dead!”
“Comrade Ivan! Comrade Boris! No!”
“Dammit Sarge! Lieutenant Alvarez is dead. So is Private Westly!”
All three groups shouted out at my sudden interruption. The first two groups seemed to be Latin American and Russian. The third is what confused me, though. They were referring to each other by military ranks. Were these soldiers? Shooting up their own people? I supposed it was possible they were remnants of Hydra. I should probably capture them instead of taking them all out… but my points.

'Thanks system.’ I should capture at least some of these guys alive to find out what was going on.
“Alright, you assholes. You've all caused enough damage here. Lay down your weapons and surrender, or I will take you all down!” I declared loud enough for everyone to hear me. I was currently floating 30 feet in the air between all three groups, so it was no wonder they hadn't yet spotted me.
“Oh, fuck, Sarge! It's the Angel we've all been seeing all over the news! What do we do!”
“Dios mio!”
Two of the groups stopped and seemed to hesitate upon realizing I was here. The third group did not. They opened fire on me.
“Avenge our comrades. Kill the mutant freak!” The Russian gang cheered as they all raised their guns and started firing on me. Most of their bullets missed completely, but a few struck me and bounced off. I felt nothing from them. There were about 10 of them remaining in total. After a few seconds, all of their AK-47 clips were empty as they ran out of ammo.
“Fuck! That did nothing!” One of them cursed loudly. “It must be a trick! Reload and keep shooting her!” The others proceeded to try and do just that.
I let out a sigh upon figuring this group wouldn't be coming quietly. I dove rapidly towards the ground and landed between them. What proceeded was a high-speed beatdown. I admit, I don't really know anything about hand-to-hand combat–but when my strength stat was at 25, it didn't matter. All it would take was a single hit to each of them, and they were sent flying. Grunts and screams rang out as I rapidly delivered blow after blow upon the gang until they were all lying on the ground in pain from the numerous broken bones I had delivered upon them. That was awesome! I felt like Batman beating them all with my bare hands!

I knew I was still on a tight timeframe with the civilians though. Many were still on the verge of bleeding out, and I had to act fast. I took back off into the air before glaring at the two remaining groups–
“Aw, dammit, they're running away,” I said. The Latin gang and the military group had taken off through the trees. I could chase them all down, but frankly, I didn't have the time. I still had to save all of the innocent people hurt by them. At least I captured all the Russian’s.
I didn't waste any more time as Twilight Healing’s rings manifested on each of my hands, and I flew down towards the nearest civilian that still had a heartbeat. It was a man who looked to be in his mid-20s who had been in the park jogging. He was riddled with seven bullet holes. It was a miracle they hadn't hit anything immediately vital. I crouched down and started healing him. I didn't have time to heal him completely, but I did enough so his life wouldn't be in danger. Following him, I proceeded to go from person to person and do the same. I had saved seven other people at that point before a man called out to me.
“Please, Angel! Save my children, please! They're dying!”
I rushed over towards the man and saw he was cradling a young boy and girl who had both been shot. Nearby, a woman who I assumed to be their mother was lying still. I immediately placed a hand over each child and started healing them at the same time. The healing was slower this way, but neither of them looked like they had even a second to spare. It was an agonizingly slow 30 seconds before I started seeing the bullets ejected from their bodies and the bullet holes closed up. Their father next to me was completely silent as he watched on.
Once I was finished, I let out a sigh of relief. Including these two kids, that was nine people I had managed to save. Unfortunately, the three groups had killed a lot more… That was something to dwell on for later though.
“It's okay, they're out of danger. I'm sorry about your wife though…”
The man, who looked oddly familiar now that I saw him, grimaced but still looked at me gratefully. “I know, she was… shot in the head. Our children though. I'm just so glad that they are alive! Thank you so much! I promise you that I will pay you back!” He said.
“You don't have to pay me back for anything,” I said back to him. “You should get your children out of here though… I don't know if the shooters will come back.”
He nodded to me before grimacing at his wife's body. “You're right… My kids are the most important thing right now. I'll see you again, Angel. I promise.” He still had a determined look in his eye that told me he would try, and I would be seeing this man again in the future. As he picked up his young son and daughter, I used observe on him.

Woah… I just saved the Punisher’s kids.
