Scrawl Banditta
Lord Zee
Isabel slowly stepped away from the others, of course not leaving the building, but all the noise about blowing up all of the room and killing everyone made her want to be distant from the crowd.
At one point Ditch started to name each Vigilante and their power, it was a bit awkward to have her name be the silly one from internet creepypasta but it was what she got, and she would never have the patience (or creativity) to come up with one of her own.
"Scarlet Shifter huh? Sounds like my kind of lass, plus I really think Wall Walker will be a bit agiler than what I can deal with."
And that looked like it, the crowd started to disperse and Isabel was more than pleased in leaving the madhouse that was this HQ.

The next day was a normal college day, but Isabel had set herself some plans, she had two theories about ScrltS (At first she just abbreviated it to SS but that didn't sound right) either she was tapping into a power like hers or she was using the odd energies her family would call "Magic". The idea that maybe she was a mix of both never crossed her mind.
"Hey, Isa, what are you thinking about," said Rosane, one of her close friends from the college
"Yeah like, you have been away the whole day, even more than normal, are you into a boy perhaps?" mocked Christine, another friend.
"Don't be a fool, Chris, anyway, I'm actually thinking about ways to capture a cat or a bird"
"Oh wow, animal abuse much? What is next? Will you buy a rifle, go hunting deer and then vote for Krump?" jested Chris
"Geez, you two are quick to judge" and the conversation sidelined, she liked her friends but they were not the most useful allies.

"Oh, how are you doing Miss Millenium? Why are you calling?"
"Uh, sis, I think I might be up against a witch, can you help me with some info?"
"Up against huh? Doing hero works now huh? Wasn't that why you left? Because I and mom were too silly with our magical girl clothes and all that?"
"You are silly. And this is a bit of an odd situation, a one-timer"
"Okay, what is her tradition? Classical Druidic? Antigone Thracian line? Yukhagir Siberian shamanistic tradition? Amazonian Pajé? Neo-Hermetic? True Wicca? Japanese Post-Sally Shamaness?"
"Calm down, I have no idea about what you are talking about. It's the one about taking shapes of animals."
"Oh great, let's see, the myth about shapeshifters is present on all continents excluding Antartica, yeah that narrows it down, we know she is not a penguin for example."
"Geez"
"Sorry sis, you don't know enough to let me help, but you will do well, just do your fossil thing, you theoretically should know more about beasts than her right?"

Trough 6 pm to 9 pm Gorgon Eyes chased animals across the city, silly, but she wanted some experience. She was in her full transformed form and had left her backpack and clothing back into the headquarters.
"For now, this is enough"
She jumped across a few more roofs before crawling back into the old warehouse. Once again it looked empty, not that she cared that much about modesty. Transforming back into her human shape she was quick to dress again, this time, she was not even on her typical tracksuit but on her casual "home wear." She opened a can of beer and started to chill on the place, she wasn't in the mood to go back to her apartment with all the noise and lack of space. Plus, you never know who might show up.
