				<strong>David Van-Alden</strong><br><strong>Gone Fishin'</strong><br>It had been a relatively normal day for the employees and customers of the privately owned and operated 10th Street Bank...that was until two men wearing ski masks and armed to the teeth entered through the front door. One of them gaining everyone's attention by firing his weapon directly into the bank's ceiling the other subduing the bank's guard before the guard could even draw his weapon. <br><br>Within seconds the gunmen &nbsp;(http://www.imfdb.org/w/images/thumb/c/ca/44akm4.jpg/500px-44akm4.jpg) had total control over the interior of the bank. The customers and employees alike had been made to lay face down with their hands on their heads. One gunman guarding them while the second forced one of the bank's tellers to begin filling up a large sack with all the cash the teller stations had on hand. <br><br>The men didn't use names, they didn't waste any time, and they handled their weapons well. They were professionals.<br><br><hr><br>David had tried several methods of tracking down the heroes who had risen to take Starman's place. He'd attempted to guess where they'd be before they got there but that had ended in total failure. Next he'd simply gathered up every report on every sighting that he could find and tried to use them to work out a pattern, find what areas of the world were the territories of what heroes. But as he had sifted through the data no patterns had arisen. His lack of success wasn't that big of a surprise to him. He'd always been the one to figure out the puzzle, not the one to find it in the first place...that had been what Alice....<br><br>"Not now" he said softly to himself as he forced his mind to stop thinking of his now deceased wife almost before it even started to do so. Instead he re-focused on how frustrating it had been to try and find one of the hero's' location. It had been like hunting down bigfoot or some other mythical creature! Then again he'd never much enjoyed hunting. But fishing on the other hand, now that was something that made sense to him. And that was exactly what he was doing now, fishing.<br><br>As he sat in the car (http://media.motortopia.com/files/16772/vehicle/4b1d0e9a2a4a3/DSC_0221.jpg) he'd rented for this part of the job he heard the gunshots from inside the bank but even if he hadn't he'd have known what was going on considering that he was the one who had hired the two jackasses in the bank to try and rob it. He couldn't help but smile as he thought of how screwed these two wannabe bank robbers were... Even though they'd never seen David's face or even heard his real voice they had believed in his 'plan.'<br><br>&nbsp;According to the plan all they had to do was get control of the inside of the bank, get the money into the bags, and stay on schedule. Then he'd show up on time and pick them up in the getaway vehicle and they'd be gone. He'd assured them that they wouldn't have to deal with supers or even cops because he was going to block off the silent alarms. He'd also made sure they knew that if anyone got hurt it would be coming out of their cut, and he was quite sure that would keep the two from doing anything overly stupid...besides by David's estimates the cavalry should be arriving any second. Considering he'd picked a bank in an area that had never failed to have at least one of the supers show up to stop any major crimes and that he'd used a disposable cell phone to call in the robbery to the authorities about&nbsp; 3 minutes before it even started. Now all he had to do was wait and see who was going to show.....<br><br><br>

				<strong>Monica Yen<br>Enter The Yatagarasu!</strong><br><br>Monica had been patrolling near 10th when the audio sensors in her goggles picked up the sound of gunfire. They scrolled information across her field of vision; direction, number of shots, the probable model and make of the weapon. The lines scrolled across her view and before they even disappeared, she was off. The Yatagarasu smoothly drew her grapple gun and latched on to a nearby building. She lept from her perch and glided smoothly, silently, through the air, a dark shadow against the cold, black sky. Her cape furled out behind her, the slice partway up the back and feathered design on the bottom making it look like two black wings partially unfurling behind her. She flipped gracefully as her hook let go, shot it again, hit the bank and continued to glide.<br><br>In mere moments she was off again, flipping through the air and crashing through one of the massive side windows of the bank. She was tucked into a ball as she came through, her costume protecting her from the shards of glass that sprayed as she burst through the window. Flipping, she landed in a crouch on the bank floor and slowly raised her head, her goggles briefly flashing, flicking over to analysis mode, making her eyes briefly gleam. <br><br>Yatagarasu's goggles quickly picked out the two criminals and inside her cloak she was readying her weapons to take them down, but everyone deserved a chance to surrender. She spoke in a husky voice, trying to disguise her own. You never knew who was listening in or watching. "..Surrender and I won't have to hurt you. Put up a fight and I'll make you wish you never got out of bed this morning, boys."

				The gunman guarding the main floor was busy taking stock of the situation, both he and his partner had managed to get the money ready and keep anyone from playing the hero. But thing's weren't running smoothly, their getaway ride should have been here already! <br><br>But, he didn't have much time to think about this fact because mere seconds later their was a loud crash of breaking glass as something came through the bank's window. "Fuck" he said under his breath as he quickly turned to face the direction of the noise, his rifle drawn and his finger ready to pull the trigger. <br><br>From the teller stations the second gunman also had his weapon drawn up as he took cover behind one of the individual desks and tried to spot what had come through the window. <br><br>The first gunman and his partner had talked about the planned robbery the night before, they both knew that the boss didn't want anyone killed. But they had agreed that if it came down to a choice between getting caught and killing someone they'd just do what they had to do and take the cut in pay. <br><br>With this in mind Yatagarasu barely had time to finish her ultimatum before the first gunman gave his response. "Ventilate her ass!" he shouted to his partner as he pulled down hard on the trigger to his weapon. The automatic rifle kicked hard in his hands as it began to spray it's ammunition in Yatagarasu's general direction. The gunman at the teller station followed the lead of his partner and also began to fire as they both tried to down the hero.<br><br><hr><br>David had barely seen who ever it was crash through the bank's window. Seconds later he'd heard the roar of two automatic rifles firing on full auto. It wasn't an entirely alien sound to him, it brought back memories. Without a single thought of self preservation David quickly grabbed the small camera that he'd had sitting in the car's passenger seat and got out of the car. <br><br>He crouched down as he ran, not wanting to go down to a stray bullet or some other such&nbsp; bad luck. As he got closer to the bank he moved so that he was at a good angle to watch what was going on. He moved the camera to his face, took aim, and began to snap off pictures.... He needed as much information as he could get, and at this point pictures were a good start.

				Yatagarasu was off running as the gunmen started firing at her. They were using automatic rifles and just firing a steady stream of ammunition at her, meaning that the rounds weren't exactly hitting their mark. Burst fire would've been more accurate but, they didn't need to know that. She rolled smoothly behind a column and reached into her belt, pulling out a little throwing star that had three points resembling the talons of some kind of bird. <br><br>As Monica rolled out from behind the post, she tossed it in one smooth flick of her wrist. The star sailed silently across the room and knocked the first gunman's weapon from his hands. Or at least jarred his aim enough for her to have time for her next move. Nearly as soon as she'd thrown the weapon she'd taken off again, heading straight for the bank robber at a surprisingly fast clip. As she moved, she reached behind herself and withdrew her tonfa. One in each hand, they fully extended as she pulled them from the small holster on her back. The tips crackled faintly with electricity. As she neared the stunned man she lashed out at him, thumping him once soundly in the ribs, then turning, striking the back of his neck and unleashing the electricity within the stun baton. It would more than likely send him to the ground and incapacitate him for a while.<br><br>The whole thing only lasted mere seconds, the Yatagarasu's planning, athleticism, and weaponry unrivaled for taking out garden variety thugs like these. As soon as the first man was dispatched, Monica disappeared behind another column, slipping from the view of the second robber.

				The gunshots rang out as Yatagarasu launched her counter attack, but neither gunman was a good enough shot to hit his target as she moved from one place to the next. The first gunman didn't even have time to react properly before he went down with a grunt and the clatter of his now silent rifle striking the bank's tiled floor. <br><br>The second gunman never stopped shooting, any regard for his partner's life obviously falling short in comparison to his own desire to avoid capture. He continued to fire on Yatagarasu. Nearly all of his shots missing widely, with only the occasional round passing close to the woman. <br><br>As soon as she had dived behind the second column the gunman realized this was his best chance. Moving as fast as he could he made a break for the window, dropping the bag of money he'd been carrying in order to gain more speed. <br><br><hr><br>David had seen Yatagarasu take down the first gunman, and that action alone had already helped him to learn at least some things about her, for one he was now confident that Yatagarasu was a woman. As he saw the second gunman making a dash for the window that Yatagarasu had entered through he quickly put his camera in the pocket of the overcoat he was wearing and reached towards the shoulder holster he had strapped under the coat. He was willing to bet that the hero wouldn't let the gunman get away. But if she didn't stop him, David fully intended to put a bullet in the man to keep him from escaping.

				Yataragasu peered around the column, watching as the second gunman made a break for it with total disregard to his partner's life. Cowardly, but a smart decision in this case. Monica strolled casually across the bank floor, in no obvious hurry. She could catch up to the runner in a heartbeat. She moved between panicked citizens and over to the downed man. Monica knelt by him and turned him onto his stomach then tied his hands behind his back with plastic zip cuffs. Reaching into her belt, she withdrew a little business card with her symbol on it and tucked it into the man's pocket. <br><br>"When you get to prison, tell them Yatagarasu sent you." After her parting words, she turned and shot her grapple out the window. As fast as she came, she was gone. It didn't take Monica long to track down the second thug as he ran panicked through the back alleys. Using her grapple gun and acrobatic skills, she quickly built up speed, then released and let herself go. She flipped through the air and stuck her legs out, her boot heels crashing into the man's back and sending him into the dirty pavement. It was more than likely the fall would knock him out, but just to be safe, she zip-tied him to a metal pipe, gave him one of her 'business cards' and left him.<br><br>The whole bank robbery had been over almost as fast as it started, all told. The bank would get it's money back, the criminals arrested, and all present would have seen quite a display of ability from the relatively new heroine. The only trace she'd left were the cards she'd deposited on her captives and the throwing stars, still embedded in one assault rifle.
