Everyone seemed to agree that they were ready to hear Ditch's plan. Ditch grabbed her backpack and propped it up against her knee, moving to unzip it when Wraith spoke.
"You know, as much as I appreciate the posturing and all, before we get into plans I'd like to know who I'm working with. Hopefully without any more of this bickering. I'm sure some of you have done your research and all, but I've got no clue who half of you are." Ditch stopped. "Hmn. Good call. Alright." Ditch put down the backpack.
"Graffitti. Air Pressure manipulation. Raven Tale. Story book summoning. Omega, gravity manipulation. Turn Back, Kinetic Absorption and Redistribution. Gorgon Eyes, Devolution. Ecto, Ghost Psychology and such. Tank, certain invulnerability and strength. Reaper, darkness manipulation. Black Rose, accelerated mind." As she spoke, she pointed towards every person in question. "Levi just left. Obvious electricity manipulation. And you, Wraith. Density Manipulation." Ditch said everything without even so much as a stutter. "And then there is, of course me. Of course, that's all bare-bones, but I'm of course not going to start barfing personal information." Ditch brushed her hands together as if wiping off dust before picking up the backpack again. "Now. Down to business. I've been waiting for this."
Out of the backpack Ditch pulled out a laptop. A few bills floated out as well when she pulled out the laptop, but Ditch paid them no mind. They were hundred dollar bills, yet she didn't care one bit. The vigilante used the stage as a table and placed the laptop there, opening it up and pressing the start button. The device whirred to life and she began to pull up photos and videos.
"Scarlet Shifter and Wall Walker, both well known rogues. Shifter is known to go after shiny stuff; Walker’s robbed nearly all the banks in Millennium City without being caught. Despite both their abilities being immensely powerful, they've never killed, which leads me to believe they aren't half as bad as the media is making them look. I've looked through the security cameras at the locations of both of their last sightings, and I found this.” Ditch stepped back from the laptop and let a video play.
A woman with a red cloth draped over her face covering her nose and mouth, as well the brightest red hair, was shown walking down a dark alleyway before she went out of sight. “Wait for it.” Ditch said. A good thirty seconds later, a hooded figure entered the video the same way Scarlet had come. Ditch expertly paused it at a moment where the figure’s clenched fist was shown. On his wrist was a black wristband, and when Ditch zoomed in, the following symbol was engraved.

“Umbra’s mark. He carves it into the foreheads of his victims. Another figure similar to this one also followed Walker. They’re going to attack them, and I bet it will be soon.” Ditch closed the laptop. "I'm hoping we can split up into two teams; one goes after Walker, the other goes after Scarlet. Umbra probably won't do this deed himself, he'll send some men in, but that's no reason to underestimate the power of his soldiers. And if he manages to snatch these two, we're on a whole other level of "fucked"." Ditch muttered.
"Walker was nearly caught at his last heist, and Scarlet was injured just yesterday during a police chase, so I suspect they'll be laying low for a few days. That means we have time to strategize, decide on who's chasing after who, and such." Ditch gave a nod, signifying that was it.
