She had answered the call about a sudden bank robbery being committed by the Terror twins. She was familiar with the brother-sister villain duo; they seemed to be a constant pain in her backside.
"What the hell is the point of putting them in a jail that they just keep breaking out of?!" She said, thoroughly annoyed with the situation.
She arrived on the scene to see a police car be flipped over into the air mid drive. She quickly flew after it and caught it in midair before it could smash into the café across the street. The car started dragging her down faster than she could handle until she activated her strength.
"Well, would you look who came to grace us with her presence, Tuppence. It's Rouge Magician." Tommy said, in his thick southern accent.
"It's, Red Alchemist, you hillbilly delinquent." She spat at him, lowering the cop car to safety.
"Looks like someone came for an ass whooping!" Tuppence growled, in an accent just as thick, launching herself at her.
She conjured a fireball and knocked Tuppence backwards into an alley, landing her in an open dumpster.
"I guess that would be you two." She said, pointing two gloved fingers in their respective directions.
He dropped his bag of money before leaping towards her and knocking her to the ground.
"I'll show you hillbilly!" He yelled, cocking his fist back and aiming for her face.
She moved her head to the side just in time for him to punch a small crater in the ground.
"Your aim sucks!" She taunted, before conjuring another fireball to blast him off of her.
He landed a half block away before Tuppence rebounded and tried to drop kick her while she was on the ground. She rolled out of the way in time before another crater was formed where she had been.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you guys were trying to hurt me." She said sarcastically.
"No kidding." Tuppence said, starting to throw kicks and punches her way.
She started to engage in hand-to-hand with Tuppence, doing her best to deflect the blonde's ground shattering kicks and punches. Tuppence had no real fighting strategy except for brute strength, leaving her open to calculated attacks. When she saw her opportunity she grabbed hold of Tuppence's right fist with her left hand before doing a combination of kicks to her inner legs and stomach. Tuppence let her left fist fly, she caught it with her right hand and continued her assault. It worked well enough, though Tuppence's natural endurance made it difficult to truly hurt her.
"If you really think that did much of anything, you're giving yourself too much credit." Tuppence said.
Tuppence "spartan kicked" her in the stomach, knocking her into a moving car. The driver swerved from the surprise of impact and drove into a store front. She got to her feet and looked around to see if anyone got hurt. She rushed over to the store and forced the car door open; the impact had slightly crushed the doors inward.
"Are you alright, sir?" She worriedly asked, helping the driver out of his car.
"I-I think I'm alright." He said shakily.
He started rubbing his neck uncomfortably.
"There should be help coming soon. Try and get to a safe area where the EMTs can get to you, and they should be able to take care of you." She said.
He nodded his head in a bit of a daze, blood starting to trickle down his brow. She instructed everyone else in the store to get to safety and tell other passer byes to get off the streets before going back to the fight.

The battle had gone on for almost an hour; she was starting to feel the effects of using her abilities for an extended period of time.
"You two are really starting to grind my gears!" She yelled, over a barrage of blasts she sent after their long-distant, leaping forms.
The three of them were starting to take the fight outside of the city making her feel more comfortable about not hitting any bystanders who could be caught in their crossfire. After a while of fighting with her the twins had decided to grab the money and run, feeling that fighting was no longer worth it.
"And you think we're thrilled about you being up our asses?!" The twins shouted back in unison.
She had finally grown tired of the chase, she felt like she would have no choice but to descend at any moment. She conjured a flame tornado and sucked the twins up before they could get any farther. She grounded herself and watched the twins go around in their flame tunnel prison. She knew their temporary invulnerability would keep them from becoming charcoal, and decided it was okay to do it.
"It's only a matter of time before you two run out of air!" She called out to them.
"I agree." A male voice said, startling her.
She turned around to see Superman standing behind her. She dispersed the tornado and let the Terror Twins fall to the ground with loud thuds. They could hardly walk straight; Tuppence vomited once she stopped walking, missing Tommy's boots by a few inches; he sidestepped before falling over onto his side and shutting his eyes.
"Stop the world I want to get off." He said, grabbing his head.
"I should have just done this in the beginning." She said, shaking her head at all the time she wasted.
"You did well, there were no casualties, the damage was kept to a minimum, and you kept your targets contained. Kent, has trained you well." Superman said, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"I guess you could say that. He can be unorthodox in his training at times." She said, thinking back to the night he made her fly for her life.
"He means well." Superman said, as he put inhibitor collars on the twins.
"I know. I am grateful for him being in my life, I don't know what I would've done if he hadn't found me." She said, pulling Tommy to his feet.
Superman grabbed Tuppence by her bicep to make her straighten up.
"Y'all, are going to jail now." She said, in a mocking southern accent.
The two of them rolled their eyes at her as Superman hauled them off to containment, leaving her to go back to and help clean up.
"I think I've done about as much as I can on my own for the day." She said, wiping the sweat from her brow after putting another piece of wall in a neat as possible stack she'd been putting together.
"You just saved me a lot of hassle with having to rebuild." The store owner said, extending their hand for as thankful handshake.
"Just doing my job, ma'am. It was kind of my fault." She said, before flying off. "Please let me make it back home without having to walk." She prayed out loud.
