Aaron was still trying to process what he had just seen when the blood stained girl vanished in a cloud of smoke, ruining any chance of figuring out what exactly happened with her and that one thug. He flinched a bit when he saw it, but then straightened his posture in his best impression of a much more heroic man. He deepened his and answered the remaining girl. "My line of work is a dangerous one, and it is a good idea for a man like me to keep his identity secret. I'm still getting established, so I don't have fancy things like "gadgets" or a "costume". I was waiting to rendezvous with a comrade, but he was delayed, so I went on a strategic patrol of the surrounding area." He tried to use as many big words as possible, hoping to sound intelligent and hide his utter confusion. He examined the bodies of a few of the thugs, noticing heavy bruises on some of them, while others were seemingly untouched. Aaron wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but even he could tell that there was something off about the scene. He even recognized one as a someone from his block, the guy had a pretty bad drinking problem but was decent enough when sober. Discovering bite marks on the man's neck and a gun by his side alarmed him. He asked the girl another question "Miss, there is definitely something strange going on, especially now that your friend has disappeared. It would be very helpful if you could give me some more details of how exactly these men 'fell down' "
