The PRT report on the massive brawl witnessed deep within E88 turf has finally been released. As it turned out, our city's newest cape was lured into a trap by the E88 and attacked by all of their powered members. She, against all expectations, managed to beat them down and then took out Lung when he arrived during his big assault on E88 turf. You can read about it on their official website.

Chews last dregs of popcorn with slow satisfaction, then swallows.
Someone better get me a telephone, because I fucking called it.

I guess you did. To be frank, I wasn't expecting something like this to happen.

Jesus H. Christ. I knew that Supergirl was tough, but dayum. In one fight she did more than the ENE Protectorate's done in years. They must be nursing their bruised egos at the moment :D

Well, that escalated quickly.

Seriously, that fight was insane. I lived a few blocks away from that warehouse, I could fucking feel the shockwave when she punched Lung into the bay. And according to the report she froze him in a block of ice while she was at it?
Supergirl too OP, pls nerf.

I wonder if she'll be continuing with the hero work, or if she was just some cape who had a beef with the E88 and ABB because they were encroaching on her own activities? God help us all if it's the latter...

I'm going with the former, personally. She seems pretty cool; she did stop the bank robbery some time back and went out of her way to rescue the civilians. Hell, she helped one of my neighbors get her pet kitten out of a tree.

She froze Lung in ice? So far, she seems to be a high ranking Alexandria package with some cryokinetic ability as well. I wonder what other tricks she has up her sleeve?

Maybe she has the same type of package that Eidolon has?

Armsy_&_Halberd: Seriously? She actually helped a girl get her kitten out of a tree? It sounds almost too good to be true.

All we need is for her to beat up the Merchants and we'll be set, amirite?

kharneloever69: Yes, seriously. Not all heroes are self-centered dicks, you know.
OneEyedPeopleEater: If by "beat up", you mean "punch into the stratosphere", then I wholeheartedly second that motion.

Now that Supergirl has established herself as a certified badass, we need to give her a better name than Supergirl. It's a stupid name.

One of the most powerful heroes in the Protectorate named herself after a species of toothed whale, and the greatest Tinker ever called himself Hero. Your argument is invalid.

Besides, it's the Protectorate that gave her that name. She'd have to join or something if she wanted to change it.

I'd imagine that they'd have to play kiss-ass if they wanted to get her to join the team. How old is she, BTW? Would she be part of the Wards or the main team?
Dacor_2004 (New Member)
Posted on October 1st, 2009:
Considering that she's called Supergirl, I'd imagine she'd be in the Wards.
As for new names, how about Juggernaut?

Nah, that seems too brutish. I think Supergirl will suffice for now. Maybe change it to Superwoman to make it seem more mature and respectable?

Considering that she's nice enough to help little girls get their kittens out of trees, I'd go with Samaritan. It's a fitting name, and she gets to keep that weird-squiggly S on her chest.

Nah, Samaritan's the name of some Mover in Los Angeles. Whatever her name is, I'm glad she's here.

"I must say, I am surprised and delighted by this turn of events," Director Armstrong said. "Two of the largest gangs in Brockton Bay, gone in one day."
"I would hardly say gone," Director Rebecca Costa-Brown replied curtly. "Both gangs still have a large number of non-powered members, and the ABB still has Oni Lee."
"Against the local Protectorate division? Not that much trouble," Armstrong said.
"It wasn't the ENE Protectorate that took down those capes," Costa-Brown retorted in a low tone. "It was the cape that Director Piggot has decided to name 'Supergirl'." Her mouth twisted slightly as she said the last word.
"Ah yes, young Taylor Hebert," Glenn said, his eyes glancing over the report. "I don't think I've heard of such a powerful Alexandria package, except perhaps for the originator of that particular moniker."
"That was a foolish thing Director Piggot permitted," Armstrong said. "Uncovering her identity like that puts other lives at risk, not just hers, and something tells me it didn't endear her to us."
"We can discuss what to do about Piggot's lapse in judgment at a later time," Costa-Brown interjected. "For now, the subject is the Hebert girl."
"If you ask me, she's a dangerous liability," Assistant Director Tagg said, leaning forward in his seat. "Someone with her level of power needs to be reined in as soon as possible, we can't just let an independent like her make an embarrassment of the local team."
"How would you go about that?" Armstrong asked dryly. "She's already rejected the Wards, and something tells me strong-arming her will be more trouble than it's worth."
"Strong-arming is out of the question, but I believe the Wards isn't, not yet anyway," Costa-Brown said. "Perhaps we could somehow make it more appealing for her, focus more on the benefits that membership entails."
"That could work," Armstrong said, absentmindedly scratching his chin. "She's already quite popular in the city, so having someone like her join the Wards could lead to a spike in memberships."
"It's settled then," Costa-Brown said, rising from her seat. "We'll attempt to recruit Taylor Hebert again, this time with someone not from the local team. Perhaps we'll have better success if we get her a little star-struck, no?"
"What do you mean by that?" Glenn inquired.
"I happen to know that a certain cape's schedule is clear for next Tuesday," Costa-Brown replied with a slight smile on her lips. "Something tells me he wouldn't object."
