The Case of the Cleaning Lady and the District Attorney

Whiteboard. Edit at will.

Okay, then. First draft written by Talos

Cleaning Lady

• Infinity contacts Raven, claiming to have "future knowledge" of the attack of Maria Ramirez by the Southside Slasher. (Servant might be less risky)(T) (Fair enough, could claim he got his info from his angelic servants)

• The Servant summons a spiral guardian angel to follow and protect her. (T)

• Packrat (or what other name she's using at that time) is observing from above with a nocturnal animal (an owl?) (T)

Yes, I'll probably use an owl for night vision. May take turns with a few bats, so it's not always the same animal. Also, I can see in the dark pretty good (well?), too. (P)

• Then Slasher is taken down (by who?)(The angel/Servant), others assisting if needed.(T)

• Shouldn't Raven be contacted after, not before? (that could work, otherwise she could mess up the plan)

I think it's better if Infinity contacts Raven first. There's some risk, but the Slasher's attack on Maria will support his claim to knowing the future. If he contacts her after, then it's just him saying, "I knew this would happen. Really, I did. Honest." (P) Though I guess there is a danger that Raven might think, "This guy Infinity was working with the Slasher, or hired him, just to make it look like he can tell the future, so I'll believe him later when he tells me something. It's a set-up." (P)

• The risk, I guess, is that if you tell someone the future, and then prevent it, there just isn't anything left to demonstrate what you've done. So the solution might be to warn, but then have someone follow her to protect her-- perhaps via bats or rats or something. (F)

District Attorney

• Need to contact D.A. (Infinity, through Raven again?? It would help if we contact her through an established hero that she may have worked with in the past, but, then again we might not want to overdo that; maybe Infinity could, this time, be passing on a clue he supposedly had, maybe from Hellhound). (T)

• I (Talos) take on D.A.'s shape to act as bait. (T)

• Once Sinister Four have made their move I change to Talos' form and surprise attack them. (T)

• And then others join in to back me up (who?) (T)

• I've got your back. And if necessary, I can get the DA clear very, very quickly. (F)
