File 2: Before the Case: 2 YEARS Prior

Jenny (A.K.A. Omni): The Lancer

Ansbury was a small town located in the middle of almost no where and to many, it might seem to be almost a ghost town. Few people lived there and even fewer would regularly be seen outside of their homes where it was safe from the criminals that plagued the city. As it was nothing that could possibly draw in tourists, it would always be odd to see someone new in town, especially a young woman who appeared to be alone. She didn't seem to be bothered by the eyes that bore into her, in fact she seemed to be daring them to come and attack her. It was nearly impossible to see her face with her purple hoodie covering it, though it wasn't difficult for anyone to follow her with the shiny metal water bottle hooked to her belt buckle.

The soft ringing of the doorbell woke the clerk at the small video game store from his slumber, him looking up to see the girl.

"Can I help ya?" he asked, looking her over quickly. Why a stranger came to his crummy little store he didn't know, but there was something off about her that he needed to see.

"Yeah, I heard that you guys have this game called Earthshatter," she said. She had a rather bored sounding voice, making her sound utterly disinterested in everything that happened around her. "I've been looking for it everywhere but no one else seems to have it."

"We don't got it," he stated, eyeing her suspiciously.

"Aw man, that sucks," she said. "I called earlier and you said that you had it. Is it sold out or somethin'?"

"You Jenny Toda?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's me," she confirmed with a slight nod. Before she could say anything else, she suddenly found a pistol pointed to her head. "Whoa dude, take it easy. Sorry if my name offended you."

"You know how much money's on your head kid?" he asked. "It's enough to get me outta this hellhole town and into some place that'll actually let me make some damn money."

"Look dude, I can leave if you want me to, I just wanted-"

"The only way you're leaving here is in a body bag," he snapped.

"Y'know, you've really got a flair for the dramatic, have you ever thought about acting?" Jenny asked, one hand going down to unscrew the water bottle at her side.

"Shut the hell up," the clerk said before firing the gun. It went straight through her head, though no blood splattered against him, in fact she just blinked as if nothing happened.

"Sorry man, did I mess that up for you? Kinda turned intangible for a second, my bad. We can have a redo if you want," Jenny offered.

"You- you're a frigging freak," he said, his eyes going wide.

"Now that's just rude," Jenny replied. "Do you want a redo or not?"

"I don't need a damn redo whore," he said.

Before he could even touch the trigger, with a slight hand movement from Jenny, water burst out from the bottle, whipping his arm and causing him to drop the gun, the girl easily swooping it up from the counter. With one deft motion, she spun the gun and pulled the trigger, the man's body collapsing to the floor to reveal a game behind him.

"All I wanted was to know where you had it," Jenny said, picking up the case for Earthshatter and pulling some worn looking dollars from her pocket, placing it in the counter. "We didn't have had to do any of that."

Taking the keys from his pocket, she turned the open sign in the window out and locked up shop before walking away in the night, leaving with her game and a touch of red on the front of her hoodie.
