The world really had changed a lot in the past decade, the Scar seemed to have its filthy talons sunk into just about every part of society these days. Nano could see it everywhere she looked, how people always seemed to be on edge. How the times that she was near the borders with the Scar, all people talked about was the Scar. Their voices hushed low as if the place itself might hear and come after them. Then of course, there was the way the media and people out here practically sensationalized what she had done. Surviving in that place for ten years, bringing a group of survivors out of that place. Even more so? That she and the survivors came from a place that everybody had previously thought to be dead within. As if she were some sort of miracle worker and not just a girl with some nanobot enhancements.  Especially given the hero worship and how they labeled what she had done 'The Miracle from Central City', she was starting to become a bit more self-conscious. Between the interviews on news stations and Late Night Talk Shows, Alex was starting to wonder just how different the world had really become. She was starting to feel a bit like a girl out of her own time. One place that did grab her interest, however, was Bludhaven. Most seemed to regard it with some sort of disdain given the effects of the scar were clear as day there, but it was this very fact that grabbed her attention so much. She wasn't used to the normal world anymore, how peaceful it all was or how people got along. She wasn't used to seeing just normal humans living their everyday lives here. Instead, she was used to a much more hostile reality and used to seeing creatures straight out of a fantasy novel walking alongside her. Which, for those living in Bludhaven, was very much their everyday reality. Although even Alex had to admit that the whole place seemed a bit like a shitshow at times. Certainly didn't look like the government really paid it any sort of mind, just trying to willfully ignore its very existence. 

Due to her interest in the place, she often kept a watch for information about the place as an idle curiosity in between spending time and training with her sister. This was made a tad bit easier for the girl when she had a literal computer that made up half of her brain and could directly connect to the internet. Typically it was nothing special on the net, just more headlines about various small crimes and some vigilante calling himself The Hound. Occasionally you could find the odd protest to destroy the non-humans living within Bludhaven, but that was quickly shut down. Usually, by police or the actual creatures, they were protesting against. Her personal favorite was one of those super-religious and also super bigoted (An odd state, in and of itself. Supposedly loving everybody then actually just hating everybody), came into Bludhaven for a protest. Against what? Why the non-humans being allowed to live in the city. This protest, however, was quickly broken up when a Minotaur charged through the crowd while wearing a barista's uniform for Starbucks. Evidently he had been late. That was just one of the examples for the strange happenings within Bludhaven that likened it to some of what she had lived through in the Scar. Although it was alot less comedic there, she still found a bit peace knowing that there was someplace that was similar to what she knew. That she didn't have to try to adapt to and feel like a horrible outsider among the very people she had been trying to reach for so long. The one late night as Alex was doing what most teenagers do late at night, laying on the couch and watching some stupid movie, her typically set up alerts for news relating to Bludhaven came up. Only this time, it seemed to be from Gotham. The headline being a video of some big red armored dude, [i]shouting train noises[/i] slamming into a building in Gotham. Though the poster seemed to believe him to be from Bludhaven, hence the ping she got. Shortly after, more chaos seemed to ensue as Alex's eye shot wide and she pieced together that what was happening was very not good. 

Not even ten minutes later, after getting Verra's permission to go to the city, Alex was out the door and tearing full speed along the roads towards Gotham. She was thankful for the computer in her head, as she had been able to plot a route on google maps to the city before leaving. Not that she bothered to use the navigation, as it would surely not be able to keep up with her, but instead the map served to guide her. Having such a good memory from the computer and speed force inside her body really came in handy at times for the young hero. As she dashed along the highway, Alex allowed herself a slight giggle as she imagined the strange looks she was causing from the cars she shot past. She knew the blur from her mad dash was surely not the color as Verra's, and figured that some of the more nerdy passengers in a car must be flipping out right about now. The emergence of another speedster and all that jazz. However, playtime was soon to be over as Gotham rapidly grew closer and closer. In a mere blink of an eye, she shot across a bridge into the city itself, then was weaving through the streets much faster than the speed limit for certain. She shot past police cars tearing towards the scene of the crimes, through the crowd that gathered outside the police barriers. The hero ziplining in, and the strange woman with alot of guns would be treated to the sight of a black and red blur blasting past them into the building itself. Alex was aiming for the big red idiot she had seen in the video, as he didn't exactly strike her as the fastest or most intelligent of the villains raiding this place. Yet he proved he could do plenty of damage, which made him a big enough threat that she felt it right to focus on that asshole. 

Not even a half-second after she blasted past the two others outside, she was closing in on the large red moron. He had made his way deeper into the building, and if the bloodied mess of a hall was any sign... through a swarm of poor bastards. When she found him, he had a crew of officers cornered. Laughing like an idiot, he seemed to be winding up to end those officers in much the same way their friends had already gone. The poor bastards were cowering behind a fallen pillar while fires raged all around them, truly stuck and certainly thinking their lives were over at this point. Then suddenly, they would find themselves outside and on the other side of the police barrier, with only a black and red blur being a sign of what had just occurred. Then she was suddenly back inside, channeling her nanobots into her legs to provide the force needed for her next maneuver. As she ran up behind the hulking dumbass, still halfway through his punch and starting to realize his victims weren't there... the girl jumped with all the force she could muster. Doing an elegant flip in the air, her tail shot out to grab the top of his armor and yank it down with her. The momentum being enough to bring the behemoth of dipshittery crashing to the ground. The girl continued her momentum forward, eventually coming to a stop just above head level for the man in armor. The girl's metal hands and feet having grown something similar to metallic talons gripping into the wall she was on. Her tail stood ready, aimed over her shoulder as flames licked at the opening between the three-pronged teeth. Her eye focused solely on the opponent before her as something similar to armor seemed to flow out and form over her skin. The result being that the girl's skin was no longer visible as if she were wearing some sort of armor herself. Even her head became enclosed by the silver armor, with hints of red lighting running along the seams, and a single eye glowing red on the front. 

Glaring at her opponent, the girl was satisfied that the nanobots had finished diverting to create the armor around her body. Whether her skin was tough or not, she figured this guy could hit [b]hard[/b], and she needed the extra protection. Her opponent at that moment started getting up, and chose that moment to speak to her. [b]"NA-HA-HA-HOOOW, JUST WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, STEPPIN' UP TO LIKES O' ME? DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM? [i]YOU MUST NOT KNOW WHO I AM.[/i]"[/b] He shouted out, doing an odd little jig as he watched the smaller form, tensed up and prepared for an attack from her opponent at any moment. 

[color=AD0000]"Some juiced up dumbass is my guess."[/color] Came a feminine, yet firm, voice from behind the helmet. The form remaining tense and just waiting for the enemy to make some sort of move towards her.
