A/N: Sorry about the short addition. This is only meant to be an interlude scene in the story, but a very important one.
As the lightning crackled across the sky, a heroine in a purple, dark blue and black uniform swooped down on an attacker in an alley, who was trying to rob and assault a young woman. As she hit the ground, long blonde hair cascaded down her back and her staff sliced across the night air. The thunder crackled and rain began to patter down on the scene.
"If you know what's good for you, buddy, you'll back off of her right now," the costumed heroine growled. Sapphire blue eyes glittered behind a black mask, lending fierceness to her expression. The perpetrator turned and pointed the gun at her, but the last thing the thug saw was the swoosh of a dark blue cape and the glint of a staff as the heroine laid him out cold on the ground. The young victim was nearly speechless.
"Oh my God! Oh, God thank you!" she stammered, searching for what else to say.
"I'll follow you home. From now on, it may be prudent to get a ride or take the bus," the masked heroine replied, disappearing into the shadows.
"But wait!" the girl cried. "What is your name?"
"Just call me ShadowFox," the crusader replied.
"Thank you, ShadowFox! Thank you for saving my life!" the girl called after her.
