Panic in the Streets (Open to Street Types)
With the giant citadel that had appeared in Central Park and the vast majority of the city's super-heroes fighting against the being protecting it, it had left the streets largely watched.  Already, many fires had been set and looting was running rampant.

Abigail did not consider herself a super-hero by any means.  She was a private eye and sometimes bounty hunter who occasionally did things that could be considered vigilantism.  But her father had instilled in her a belief in the power of law and order.  And the power of civilization.  Out in the barely tamed west, people had to be able to rely on each other as a community, keep common decency, or fall into chaos.

This wasn't any of that.

She stopped in front of an electronics store, where three man were trying to juggle various high end and high priced devices.  Her hat was low over her face, obscuring it slightly, and her colts were in her holsters.

"I'd put those back if I were you," she said.

"You gonna make us?" one demanded.

"I reckon I might," she replied.

They found this funny.

Her guns had cleared the holsters and bullets had just missed taking their heads off before they could blink.  "Want to reconsider? she offered.

A woman dressed head to toe in black crouches on the side of a nearby wall, entirely unnoticed until she talks.

"I'd do what the lady says, if I were you." comes the cold voice of the Shroud.

Leo didn’t consider himself a hero, most of the good work he did, Leo did for money as a part of his job as a PI. But given the situation with the city in crisis and thing he could do to help control the craziness seem like the right thing to do. Which is what he was doing when he came across the small standoff at a small electronics store.

“If I were you guys I’d listen to the ladies,” Leo said with a handgun drawn and pointed at the looters.

Abigail showed no surprise at the presence of a wall-crawling shadow-dweller. She'd met plenty of super-folk before, after all.

"I missed before," she said. "I won't a second time. You get it?"

Two of them did, but the third didn't seem to get it. He was also the least burdened, only carrying something in one hand. His other reached into the waistband of his pants and pulled out a gun.

Crack!

He let out a cry of pain as she shot the gun out of his hand.

"Okay, okay..." he winced, cradling his injured hand. "I give up..."

"Nice shooting." Talia offers simply, before leaping from the building side across the street in search of more trouble. She had no time for babysitting a situation that was well in hand with so much else to do. Time to look for more trouble and let the others deal with clean up.

Damn she was a great shot, much better than he was and Leo was not that bad a shot either.

“Smart move,” Leo says lowering his gun. He had noticed that the other woman had left but decide that that could wait till later.

Abigail nodded briefly to the man who'd provided back-up as she holstered her Colts.

"'preciate the back-up," she told him.

“No problem, anytime,” Leo says as he tucks his gun behind him, “Name’s Leo by the way.”

He held out a gloved hand for he to shake.

She took the hand in her own and shook it. "Abigail."

She looked in the direction of Central Park, from where all kinds of flying figures and energy beams could be seen around the citadel. "Any idea what in tarnation's going on over there?"

“Not in the slightest, but I might be able to find out if we can find one of the former battle fields,” Leo says looking out at Central Park where most of the real action seemed to be happening. “If we can find something from the battle I’ve got a trick that should get us a lot more information.”

She frowned. "Got to get more dangerous the closer to it you get," she said as she looked around.

"And plenty more out here to wrangle."

“Very true,” Leo said, “That type of fight is not my kind of thing anyways and besides with all the capes busy fight whatever it is someone has to take care of these low lifes. Besides the basics of whatever happened will be on the news by tomorrow. So if you need any help I’ve got nothing better to do right now.”

Done with the next nearest conflict, the emotionless voice comes from above them, once again from the woman clinging to the wall.

"If you both have bullets left, and aren't hurt, there's news of a gang fight building two blocks up."

Abigail took a moment to reload her guns. "Looks like we should be heading that way then," she said. "Let's go."

“Sounds like a plan to me,” Leo says, then to the woman clinging to the wall, “Do you know any details, like around how many or what they are up to?” Leo wanted to be as prepared as possible before charging into a fight.

"Not yet, but I'm getting some further information as we speak, so far, I'm getting somewhere between eighteen and twenty-five people, light armaments, a few guns, so far mostly tough talking - turf war, probably, but may get ugly fast if not broken up. I missed the introductions, but watching you two so far, I'm guessing you're with the good guys. I'm the Shroud...we can take care of the rest on the way."
She bounces to another wall, since she can't websling, but can make some impressive jumps, moving wall to wall in the right direction, close enough they can follow, and she can hear them.

"Abigail Hawk," she told the Shroud. "Though I reckon if its this kind of business, you can call me the Two-Gun Kid."

She began moving to follow the Shroud.

“I’m Leo Hall,” he says to Shroud as they start running. Leo draws his gun to have it at the ready. This turning out to be quite the event though with whatever else was happening most people would probably never know what they were going to be doing which suited him just fine.

"Good to know. If either of you need connections with any existing hero teams, or a source of income for doing what you do, I'd love to talk to you when we're done. For now, business calls."

She launches herself ahead and upward, peering down from a fire escape at the growing conflict, some two blocks from where they stopped the robbery.

Technically, Abigail had some Avengers connections, only they didn't know that yet. As near as she'd been able to figure out, even though she'd met them several years back in her personal timeline, they hadn't yet met her. Time travel was a bigger headache than just about anything else.

Everything else though, all on her own (plus some funds left just in case she ever found her way to the future--good planning, Dad).

Her guns at the ready, she kept up a steady pace following.

Leo wasn’t all too worried about a job or money since despite his young age Leo was running his own business as private investigator which had been very successful. While not rich by any stretch of the imagination he did make enough money that he wasn’t too worried about funds most of the time.

As to the joining a superhero team, Leo felt that wasn’t for him for two reasons, one he didn’t consider himself a superhero, and two he liked his independence to much to join a team. Still he wasn’t about to turn down a good source or contacts either.

Leo kept pace with Abigail, and had his gun out ready to go if he needed it.

Talia leaps into the midst of the gangers, immediately taking down one of the toughs in front.

"Stand down and back off." she hisses, from a crouch.

Unfortunately, despite the show, there's still an awful lot of them. "Get 'er!" shouts one of the others.

Abigail arrived on the scene moments later, her Colts at the ready. "I wouldn't, if I was you," she said coldly.

Within moments of Abigail getting there Leo was on the scene his gun out and ready. “Really bad idea buddy," Leo says eyes scanning the area.

Between the three heroes, the gangs back away from the guns, throwing up gang sign and acting tough, but not willing to challenge people with the drop on them.

"Thanks for the back up."

"No problem," Abigail said. She looked faintly disgusted. "Seems like tonight is bringing out the worst in folks."

“It’s how quickly some people go savage once they think they no longer have to worry about the law,” Leo says coldly, “and it was no trouble at all.”
