[color=DC143C]The darkness of nightfall cast itself over Oldcity like a looming danger. The good folk huddle in their homes and bolt their doors; preparing for the worst the city had to offer. Not Skarlet Avenger though. She was in the thick of it; fighting the rings of crime even down to low level robberies. She was there, fighting til her knuckles bloody and her body sore. Every night she tirelessly bashed against the seemingly endless waves of crime. Tonight was no different.

From roof top to roof top a streak of red danced through the air; her black attire blending with the night sky. Emerald eyes scanning the city for threats to squash. As she ran her keen ears seemed to pick up the distinct sound of the butt of a gun hitting flesh and bone. Following the sound Skarlet Avenger entered the building through a broken window near the roof. She slipped in, quietly creeping through the rafters. Getting closer to observed the situation in silence. She was a bit surprised to see RiotBliss as the one tied up. It was bound to happen after all as no one is safe in Oldcity.

Watching as another strong hit across her jaw she knew she needed to act before things escalated. Given their weapons they weren't amateurs and the perimeter would be guarded. So she couldn't attack the man in the center of the room, not yet. Stepping across the steel beams she silently stalked around the room, taking note of each target. She quickly assessed her first strike; a guard near several large crates. The Perfect first step to descend down without being scene. Patiently she waited above in the shadows until the guard had walked past. She then slipped off the beam expertly, landing nimbly without a sound. Turning to face the guards back she stalked forward. The man was much taller than Skarlet, seeing as she stood at  a mere five feet and six inches.

To level the playing field Skarlet kicked hard into the back of his knee forcing it to buckle and making the man collapse on himself. Before he could let out a yell Skarlet quickly put him in a choke hold; closing his windpipe and holding firm til he lost consciousness. When he seemed to black out she slowly let him fall to the floor without a sound. Around the room she went to each guard and disposed of them one after the other til all she could see left was the man in the center of the room with RiotBliss. The center of the room was to clear to sneak the entire way. Surely she would be heard or seen on approach. So she needed surprise him, take him off guard and exploit that.

Grabbing a loose pipe from off a crate she took a deep breath, preparing herself. With a quick dash out of the shadows she ran directly at the man. Hearing her steps the guard turned to the sound, swinging his gun to point at her. Before the barrel could line up with Skarlet she powerfully threw the pipe through the air at the man. As planned the pipe slammed hard into the mans hand on the grip of the gun along his fingers, breaking a few and forcing him to recoil and lose his hold. As he was processing the pain she was closing the distance. Using her momentum she kicked forward into his knee cap, hyper extending the tendon and kicking the one leg out from under him. Planting her foot she torqued her hips and sending a cross kick into his side and throwing him a couple feet back; falling into a rolling tumble. He was groaning but quickly trying to regain his standing, but Skarlet gave no such luxury. She was quickly at his side, cocking back a punch and unleashing a devastating blow down across his jaw hard enough to throw his head into the concrete and knock him unconscious.

Satisfied in his state of unconsciousness she sighed and relaxed her stance. Turning on her heels she faced RiotBliss back at the center of the room. A smooth, elegant stride brought her to the girls side. Bright emerald eyes looking down at the tied RiotBliss curiously. Somehow she still couldn't wrap her head around how she had been caught. Reaching behind her back and under her trenchcoat she produced and butterfly knife. Expertly unfolding the blade she began to cut the ties around RiotBliss' wrists; though her eyes cautiously watched for anything treacherous.
