Elsewhere....

A large gang of criminals broke into a mall at night. The light's were out.
"Hey, you sure this place is empty?" One of them asked.
"Just a few guards, nothing we can't handle. We take them out fast and take what we want and get out."
"I still don't get why we didn't hit the bank."
"Because everyone goes after the bank and you know how that always ends." The leader of the gang said. "None of the heroes ever expect someone to rob a mall. Now the power's been cut so let's get going. Everybody split it into groups of two and then meet back here in an hour."
The gang nodded and split up into groups.

Group 1
The two women of the team opened up the door to a jewelry store and looked at them all. "Got some good stuff here. S-t, you see how expensive all this is?"
"Looks free to me." Her partner joked and busted the glass with the butt of her rifle and reached in and began grabbing diamonds and rings at random. While she was doing so, her partner walked through the store and began grabbing necklaces. She stopped in front of a mirror to admire herself and try a few on when she heard something hit the ground. She turned and walked over carefully and held her gun at the ready. She found her partner unconscious on the ground. "What the f-" Was all she had time to get out before someone grabbed her from behind and pressed a cloth against her face, she had time to see a red glove before she passed out.

Group 2
"Hey! You're not supposed to be here!" The security guard yelled at the two criminals. They looked at each other and then one of the men fired at him, missing deliberately. "Come with us and be quiet or we put one between your eyes." The scared guard dropped his light but did as he was told. They stared leading him away. "So where we gonna stash him?"
"Let's beat his arse and lock him in a backroom somewhere." They grabbed several sunglasses, 500 and up each. One of them kicked the guard from behind and knocked him to the ground. "Hey! Get up or I'll shoot your knee out!" The man laughed. The guard started picking himself up when something flew over the head of the guard and hit the thug hard enough to knock him over. "What just happened?" The man turned to look at the object when someone leaped over the guard and tackled the thug and pummeled him before leaping over the side and vanishing. The security guard slowly got up and looked around. Both of the thugs were out cold and no sign of the hero. He looked at the object on the man's face and tried to lift it up. It was heavy whatever it was. He turned it around.....it looked like a pie of some sort...but it was fake...it was hard like a weapon.

Group 3
"What was that?" A thug asked as he finished tying up the security guard.
"Probably the idiots wasting ammo again."
"Didn't boss say no killing?"
"Well....it sounds like they didn't kill him at least. But still, a waste of ammo. These ropes good?"
"I think so."
"Cool. Stash him in the back." He said and began grabbing DVD's and Blu-Rays off the shelves and stashing them in a bag.
His friend nodded and dragged the security guard. "Hey, don't look at me like that, you're being spared after all." The thug pointed out and kicked open the door to the back room and threw in the guard and then locked the door.
As the thug was tying up his bag, he was tazed from behind and then hit against the counter hard enough to knock him out.
His partner saw him go down and something dash behind the shelves. "SONNUVA!" The thug opened fire on the shelves and ran over to his partner. "Hey! HEY! Dammit..."

"Haha."

The thug turned and sprayed gunfire on the shelves. "What the hell is going on?"

He heard laughter from the entrance and turned around. "Where....what....WHERE ARE YOU?!"

He was answered with a tazer from behind, dropping him.


The others heard the gunfire from before and all headed to the Video and Comics Store. The two thugs were tied up together in the middle of the room. Both of them were out cold.

"Jimmy, Mitt!" Two of the thugs ran inside.

"Wait don't!" The leader yelled out but it was too late. As the two thugs were running inside after their partner, their feet hit a trip wire and there was suddenly a small explosion and purple gas blew out at them from the entrance, dropping the thugs except for the leader who was already running for it. He slipped and fell and hit the floor hard.
As he was getting up, his gun was kicked away from his hands. "Now now, little kids shouldn't play with guns. You could hurt somebody."
The thug looked up and saw a most bizarre sight: A young woman dressed like a jester with what seemed to be white makeup and a gas mask on. She was also wielding a bat.
"You....what are you?"
"I'm Jape The Clown! Batter Up!" She smiled beneath her mask and swung the bat.

The guard, who had been untied by her earlier, looked out from the second floor. "Woah....I don't believe it, it's you..."
Jape looked up and waved. "Hey! Can you call the Police for me? Tell them that there's some bad guys for them to pick up! Bye-bye!"

She said and carried out the bat as she danced out of the mall.

Arriving outside, Jape took off the gas mask. "Ahhhhh that's better. It's been awhile since I wore one of these things."
She looked up at she saw Lightspeed.
"Yo." Jape said to him.

Lightspeed zipped to her" Sup Jape. I see you've been keeping busy"

"Yeah, beating bad guy butt and having fun doing it. How's the team?"

"That reminds me. The teams recruiting some new members and I was wondering if you like to join?" Lightspeed asked

"You had me at new members. So I'm in. Who else is in the team so far?"

"From what Psylocke told me, Captain Scotland, and Brunhilde" Lightspeed explained
