This was a terrible plan Taylor thought to herself, she was a vigilante at her very core not a hero. Villains and criminals were set in their ways and so Taylor looked to draw their lives to a violent end. So far the world semi accepted such behavior out in the world but Millennium wasn't the usual stomping ground. For the past year Taylor had laid on the quiet end of business a few shady deals a few kills there. Let her story fade out of the mindset of the numerous media sources, supported by a religion as just as violent. She though was seen as just a murderer, played apart in a take down of the mob and some still thought she ought to be locked up. Her line of work eventually brought her hear at an opportune moment to take out some leading ganglords and kingpin
Their work had been a simple structure they played the part of business men in a tall building and dressed in nice suits. They made calls to gangsters outside of the city. What this did was create a system of looking legitimate in town, while running illegal business out. Similar to a boss in a prison, just that these bosses had the best security in the world. Perceived as citizens they would likely be defended by every hero side kick and up and coming character around. Someone had to carry on that legacy made by the Rook who was the dragon before Taylor though. She'd applied for an internship a redhead with a name known in business was what she went with. Her past was sketchy but it'd been silent. So she had the chance to open with the "I wish I could have been more like dad instead" line. Hooked them in and now she was in a limousine with the collection of established mobsters.
"You sure you want to do that" the balding older gentlemen spoke into his phone. "Really we're beneath him? Maybe we should move to NYC after all. That's ideal cover." It sounded similar to them to what they had going here if not better. Taylor imagined it was just them being idealistic that they could use big named heroes as a mask against others. All the same Taylor didn't like the idea of letting them explore that idea all the same phone hangs up and fingers move to start dialing another number. Her own fingers move sliding a knife from her belt a flash of silver and the weapon is lodged into the mobster's threat. The remaining five start going for guns, three pistols a shotgun and a uzi to be exact. Usi being closest a knife is drawn from Taylor's bra and flung into his hand pinning it to his leg she moves from her seat drawing a knife from her boot shotgun barrel buts into her head visions a bit blurry not long after her ears are ringing. Hit triggered her to duck just barely missing the first barrel spitting her head open. Instead windows shatter and litter the roads with glass, knife switches hands so the more available one can swat the gun aside while knife comes up beneath the jaw. Tongue forked brain punctured she moves to squeeze the guns trigger, its spread painting a seat with a thug's side.
Hands move to undo hair two hair sticks being pulled free, pony tail turned a scarlet mane she does about as close to a leap as one could get. Closing distance between her and a pistol and uzi, handgun is raising her way. The dragon is swifter however by time the pistol is resting against her abdimin a stick is planted into each of their temples. Struggling with his belt and holster the last of the gangsters tries to reach for the pistol sliding on the floor instead. Flicking her wrist Taylor retracts a blade and sinks it into the reaching hand. She kicks his knee allowing a blade concealed in the sole of her shoe to spring free. Slight reach and she's managed to kick the man and puncture a lung. Window to the driver seat rolls down pistol about to be used against her by then though she's undone an earring thin diamond shaped jewelry it was. Slide it vertically along the wrist that's peeked through, a river of ichor set free before the car collided with a wall.
Head ringing the scarlet haired vigilante did what she could to crawl out of the crashed automobile. Needed to get on her feet and start heading into the city where she'd look more like someone who'd escaped an ass kicking rather then a killer. Needed to shrink back into obscurity if it could be helped made repeating such a fight more probable.
(Taking place in CVU Millennium City if any clarification is needed, open thing just wanted to post with Taylor ATM so)
