[b]Wednesday - Friday
Out in New York City[/b]
 
After acquiring her devices from Alex, she had spent the next few nights getting down her tactics and her powers, taking down thugs that decided it was okay to rob and rape. At first they were arrogant, thinking she was just a little girl looking for trouble, but word got around quick. She wasn't perfect and got grazed here and there by bullets, but something about her powers allowed her to nearly missed them - it was reading signs on their arms and hands and being able to see when they'd pull that trigger. Not to say it was an easy task dodging gunfire behind various objects, but she needed to do this.
 
New York had become too corrupt with crime and dirty cops and she knew her father had the majority of it under his thumb. How could she stand by and let it happen? She, who had the best position to know what her own father was doing. No, she would regret it for the rest of her life if she didn't try and now with these powers, she had a chance to do just that.
 
By the third night it had become rather common that people knew of her, though many still didn't believe she was real and felt shocked and nervous when she appeared. Ranae kept with minor crimes for right now, deciding to work up the chain as she gained a reputation. She wasn't just helping out a young couple or an old woman - she was fighting a war against crime.

Ranae's Apartment[/b]
 
She was ready for her third night out on the town as 'Red Widow.' She had originally come up with 'Red Canary,' but on her second night she was ambushing a thug and a reporter had caught the tail-end of the fight. The punk had told her she was like a red black widow and apparently it had stuck as a minor page in the paper. Honestly, it was a better name she had come up with anyways and decided to stay with it. It still related to comic books, though not so much with the DC Universe anymore but rather with one of the Marvel S.H.I.E.L.D. agents named 'Black Widow.'
 
She adjust her bracer a bit as she stood in her costume next to her apartment window, checking to make sure her gadgets were snug and tight. Ranae had modified her costume to hold the small round discs that Alex had made to stay put even when flipping around, but would slip out when pressure was applied in just the right place so she could take them out. Everything was ready for her fourth night and she had her eye on a particular midnight meeting she had heard about in the back of a store...
 
... something interrupted her thoughts though. Narrowing her eyes a little bit, she glanced back at her front door and held her breathe. Was it a shift in the air, a small creak that seemed out of place, or just a gut feeling? She wasn't sure, but when she saw two shadows outside of her dark apartment, she knew that something was going to happen - and fast. She needed to get out.

"...3, 2, 1."

With a nod, the squad leader motioned for his team to barge in. With one member of his squad entering from the back, he and the third was entering from the front door. From the files he read on the Super his team was after, she might have an ability that enhanced her combat abilities, which could be troublesome with her recent vigilante streak as well as her prior martial arts skills. With guns raised, agent Sanders thrusted the previously unlocked door and followed his partner into the apartment. "We're in" Sanders said followed by a crash from a window as the third member of his squad entered the apartment from another room, hopefully trapping the woman in the front room.

[i]'Knew it,'[/i] she thought to herself quickly and slipped one of the devices from it's sleeve. Not many common people knew who Alex was or what he did, but he was a genius when it came to small-arms devices and weapons. The only reason her father had even fired him is because the man had morals and that never sit right with the company, so instead he spent his time designing her gadgets, knowing they'd do some good in cleaning up the streets.

As the man came flooding in, she flung the small disc at the middle of the floor, to which it attached itself using some amazing gravity-oriented technology that Ranae had trouble understanding. It only flashed three times before finally exploding into a bright flash that most people would relate to looking straight into the sun, but Ranae was already crashing through the second windows by the time it went off.

She hit the side railing of the fire exit staircase before jumping over it and flinging herself across the alleyway onto the adjacent ladder, forcing it to derail and slide down along with the woman on it. It hit the ground with a heavy thud before Ranae hopped off and looked down the alley to see who else was there - she was sure there were more than just three of them. They were professionals.

"Shit, we have a runner." Sanders said as he tried to make his way towards the window the Super exited. He was having trouble seeing but he could tell that the woman was still in the alleyway. "We need the support vehicles to block the alleyway." Sanders said as he motioned for his men to head towards the woman. Following the woman out the window, Sanders stood on the platform of the fire exit staircase and aimed for the woman as he heard a vehicle screeched to a stop at the front of the alleyway and a few more men piled out of the SUV. 

His first shot was off his mark by over five feet. "Careful guys, her abilities might be more than we thought." Sanders said as he shook his head harshly as he tried to clear his vision before shooting again. Luckily by that time, he could see that the two other men in his squad was almost in position on the other side of the alley. There won't be an exit route this time. 

The dart went whizzing past her as her eyes shot up towards the shooter. Still dazed, but that wouldn't work for long, this guy had some hardened discipline, which didn't exactly surprise her. With the introduction of the SUV and four more men ... well, this was likely a losing battle, but she had to try. She wasn't sure if this was a crime organization trying to get at her already or some sort of undercover S.W.A.T. unit. She slipped another device out and threw it hard towards the SUV, the magnet carrying it the rest of the way. It ticked once before suddenly flashing into an EMP pulse that put the car out of order. She ducked behind a dumpster that hide her from both parties and muttered about not having more of those EMP ones. She only had a flash and stun one left - she hadn't expected all this.

The only reasonable way to do this though was exactly what she did. She popped out from behind cover and flung the stun disc at Sanders before darting to the alley's wall, hoping she could climb over it before under going too much fire, but her only chance was that either their guns were affects by the EMP or they were surprised enough to not hit her. She doubted either of those cases were true.

"Watch it guys." Sander said as he saw the woman ready herself to throw an object towards his men. Luckily there wasn't a flash of light this time but from chatter on his earpiece, he could hear that the vehicle was down. "Headquarters, we'll need another vehicle for transport." Sanders said as he aimed for the woman but the metal clank from the dumpster confirmed his anticipation of missing. 

As the woman darted out from behind the dumpster, Sander aimed to shoot the woman but she was faster as she threw another disk but this time towards him.

"Sanders!" One of the men from the SUV yelled in his mic with concern as he saw the man collapse. He could hear the tranq guns go off beside him as the others aimed for the woman as she tried to escape. 

"Worry about him later, we need to get her." The woman besides him said as she tagged the target on her leg. 

With a nod, the man ran towards the target, followed by another member of the squad as the two stood by the vehicle, shooting until the woman was down or once one of the members of the squad reached the woman. Off in the distance, another vehicle could be heard approaching the scene. 

Another tranq reached the woman as she fell towards the ground. Reaching the woman, the two quickly disarmed her from any weapon or tools that they could find before working together to move her towards the vehicle. Once the woman was in the vehicle, the car quickly made it's way towards Headquarters as the rest of the team worked to clean up the situation and to check on Sanders.
