Sorry Travis, she doesn’t know the Avengers.
There was never a dull day in Hive City. Even when things seemed peaceful, the place seemed to have a way of finding that peace and absolutely shattering it. Quiet had been spacing out a bit, mind running through a million thoughts of how she’d gone from... Aabe Shifap to here. And it was that inattention that kept her from reacting properly to oncoming traffic. A car was coming right at her - no hope of stopping. Normally the One that Covers would make such an encounter easy to avoid, between speed and the ability to alter her density, but... Hive City had taken those abilities from her. Retained regeneration wouldn’t do much if she died on impact. Just as Quiet readied herself to attempt to jump out of the way, she felt it. A rush of sudden force knocking her back, harsh enough to have stolen air from lungs, if hers were still functioning. When she opened her eyes, prepared to face whatever broken bones she might be facing, instead she saw...
“...Travis?” How had he done that? What was he even doing here? He had her effectively pinned down, but she was able to sit up on an elbow, free hand rubbing the back of her head to check for any injuries she may have taken during the fall. She felt a bit sore, but no worse for wear. More importantly - “Are you alright?” She asked in Navajo, eyes full of a mixture of concern and confusion. The hand that had been running through her hair moved to Travis’s face as she looked into his eyes past sunglasses. He seemed fine, if a little out of breath. Whatever he’d done, he’d saved her from a lot of pain. Potentially saved her from death. Quiet sat up slowly, resting a hand on his shoulder to support herself as she managed a small smile of relief. “Thank you, hero.”
