Mali jogged through the city, dodging around potholes, people and other obstructions without paying them too much mind. While the construction was a nuisance for most, she actually liked it for the purposes of jogging. It spiced up the routine by making her have to think and move a bit differently than just going straight. In her ears [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azdwsXLmrHE]music[/url] blared from her headphones. It was kind of relaxing, just running without having to think too much about the rest of the world. Yeah, there were assholes who insulted her as she passed, but this was a morning ritual, the rudeness had stopped really bothering her after the first couple weeks and by now she was into Year 2. She would do her best to flex a bit when catcalled by workers. 

One thing Mali learned really quickly after getting into bodybuilding is that people tended to feel pretty strongly about it. When she started putting in the work to bulk up it became apparent that women didn't really notice the work she put into her body, other than that she was big and muscular. It was really the men that would notice the results of her work and they would either really dislike it, or really like it. Although the feelings weren't reciprocal, Mali really did appreciate when people gave attention to her physique, why not show off a bit to her biggest admirers?

The issue was when she spotted a kid getting beat up by two thugs a smidge younger than her. She stopped for a bit and considered going to help him. She was no stranger to fist fights, and had had one against a man back in her delinquent days (although she lost, the other guy's face took weeks to heal, and even then there was scarring for months afterward). But there were two guys there and she probably wouldn't be able to take both of them at once in a straight fight, even though she was several times stronger than she was back then.

Right as she was about to start her job again, when she noticed the song had become the chorus of [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw3izcZd9zU]Save Me.[/URL] Goddammit Freddie, why do you have to chime in now with that shit? Mali ripped her headphonesout of her ears and turned around to the alley, to see what the hell she could do, despite having set out with no intentions of helping people.
