"Uh, me saving your life? You aren't bulletproof but my suit is," she said logically.
"You know why you aren't supposed to fight right now!" Christian argued. "That was really dangerous, Avery! What if it hurt the baby?"
"All I did was a few flips! Those bullets never touched me. I saw a video a while back of a woman who was nine months pregnant doing a backflip on a trampoline and she and her baby were both perfectly fine. I have another checkup next week and you'll see for yourself that nothing happened."
