Synopsis for "Safeguards"
In the morning in Shadow Hill, Marta got ready for work and took a bus to the City Center and on the way to work, she and the other passengers witnessed Winged Victory flying away. When Marta entered Bidnerbeck Plaza, her boss Darcy Conroy, fiancee of Nick Furst of the First Family, was being interviewed. When Marta was greeted by her co-workers, one named Jenny asked if she wanted to be her roommate in San Francisco.
Later, Marta returned home to her family before sleeping and dreaming. After waking up the next morning, she repeated her routine but this time, the Hanged Man looked at her and she said nothing to Mister Irons. When she arrived for work at Binderbeck Plaze, the Unholy Alliance appeared outside and Darcy summoned her fiance while the villains caused destruction. As Marta and other civilians evacuated, she was injured when the First Family arrived. When Slamburger of the Unholy Alliance grabbed her, she was saved by Nick Furst. After the battle ended, Marta's injury was treated and Darcy offered to let her stay at her home, although she turned down her boss' offer.
The next morning, Marta got food from Vasiliu's Butcher Shop before thinking of renting a nearby apartment.
