Willow figured she should probably investigate this lead she got. Sure this Caesar wasn't going anywhere, but the sooner she got this done the better. Using her skills at browsing, Willow looked through a few sites she had made a note of on the dark web. Without much luck, she sighed a mechanical sigh as she began to search the dark web. Eventually she found what she was looking for, purging the sites she saw that would make her question humanity. Going on a hunch based on this drug site she found that had a Roman theme, she figured that this Ceasar guy ran it, or was at least affiliated with it. With a hunch in mind, she was off.

Willow made her way to the docks following her idea. Even if nothing was here, it'd scratch off a big part of her search. After all, no cop would want to go through every warehouse on the docks, so it was a great spot to set up illegal business. But that also worked against Willow, because searching every warehouse would take a considerable amount of time. Then she had another idea. Reforming on top of a high point overlooking a bunch of warehouses, Willow began looking for electronic communications. A warehouse full of drugs would at least have a few guards stationed there, maybe even a wifi signal, so it was worth a shot. 

And wouldn't you know it, after her scan she found a few nice hotbeds of phones. There were the dock workers of course, dotted around the place, but there were also a few groups of people in 3 warehouses. Turning into her cloud form, Willow made her way to each one that she had scanned. The first was a Lexcorp warehouse, so no luck there. The second was, of all things, an electronics warehouse where a couple dock workers were playing with a few of the products stored there. Willow giggled a bit at this, and moved on to the last warehouse. There she found what she was looking for. Willow reformed and entered the warehouse.

Upon entering the third warehouse, a few lights switched on. Willow was then greeted by a few armed goons who didn't take trespassing all too well. One was on the ground, while three were overseeing the warehouse from the catwalks. And much like any armed goon would do when faced with an intruder, they opened fire. Willow dived behind a shipping container that was by the door in order to dodge the gunfire. While she wasn't too afraid of guns, she didn't fancy having to wait for them to run out of ammo before she could get any real work done. And if they saw bullets didn't work so well, they'd probably pull out guns that did work on her, and she really didn't wanna have to deal with that. 

Taking another page out of Batman's book, Willow turned a corner of the shipping container she was around into a shielded gun, noting the drugs inside. Forming a tentacle, she used this to fire the gun at the lights above. Willow was a bit annoyed that she couldn't just use this gun to shoot the goons directly, but the Justice League brought people in, not killed them. Plus there was more fun to be had this way. Using the darkness as cover, she moved closer to the goon on the ground, hopping from crate to crate. When she got into a good position, she took a chunk out of the floor and threw it behind the guy on the ground. He turned to investigate the sound, his buddies above watching him with flashlights attached to their guns. With everyone in place, Willow ate a bit of the nearby shipping container, turned her arms into grapples, and fired her grapples at the goons on the catwalk. Snagging two of them, she pulled them over the catwalk towards their buddy on the ground. After a fairly satisfying sound of the three goons hunching over each other in a pile and getting tangled up in the grapple cables, the final goon spotted Willow with his flashlight and fired a few rounds at her. 

Noticing this, she used more of the nearby shipping container to make a haphazard barrier in front of her, and using the free cover, sent out her nanobots in a goopy trail towards the goon. The goon moved to get a better position, but was grabbed by the catwalk itself! Panicing now that the catwalk had formed into a metal hand that was now holding him, he dropped his gun. Willow swung up to the catwalk and said [color=ec008c]"So buddy, whatchya know about this Caesar guy?"[/color] At first the guy didn't wanna speak, but after Wlllow formed a bunch of nasty looking spikes on her arms and hissed at him, he was a bit more chatty. Of course he didn't know anymore than the street dealer and only repeated what that guy had said. She expected this, and muzzled the guy so he'd stop talking, still in the hand's grip.

All the commotion got another goon to come out of the management room of the warehouse. Apparently this guy was sleeping, as he was still partly in his pajamas. Willow made a move for him while he was looking at the scene unfolding before him, and as Willow got close, he got a solid shot on her face with his shotgun. Now, this probably would've been fairly damaging for a normal robot, but thats not what Willow was. And instead of seeing robot bits fly off her, there was just a metallic hole where the slug had hit her. Annoyed by being shot in the face, she jumped at the guy as a wall of metallic goo. He tried another shot but it was in vein as Willow covered him and reformed, the man now in her grasp with his shotgun being eaten by Willow. Willow said, annoyed.[color=ec008c]"Rude. You and your buddies were all rude. I'm just here for Caesar."[/color]

After having just been attacked by what he thought of as a goo robot that dissolved both his cloths and his weapon, and had him in a tight grip, he let slip that he was the one called Caesar. He then made some remark about how his boss wouldn't stand for this and blah blah blah. At this point, Willow was happy she found her quarry, tying him up using the catwalk below and hanging up the guy like the other one to hear the rest. Laughing out of joy due to finishing her little case here, she tried to get a bit of information out of this Caesar guy about his boss, but all she could get was the same threat in a different form as if the guy didn't even know his own employer. Considering he was just a hired goon more or less, that was expected. 

With the goons in the warehouse all tied up and under control, Willow dialed up the cops and gave them the warehouse location, then got to work looking through the containers. Like she figured, some were full of drugs, but most were just full of normal things. A bit sad she couldn't find anything else, she left the warehouse and made her way back to League HQ. All in all, for an improptu mission she found on the streets, it was pretty successful. No doubt the cops would be happy having a bit of a narcotics ring shut down. Plus this would make for a fun blog! Well, if Wonder Woman would let her post it anyway...
