[No fucks left to give]

The Undersiders were just inside a alley peaking out to check the area. The whole city had gone to shit with Bakuda bombing everyone and everything in sight. There was no rhyme or reason besides causing destruction, and to feed her ever expanding ego. Doesn't matter where you are in Brockton Bay it was just as dangerous now as walking down the street. Well almost, hence the peaking out.

"I don't see anyone around, we still heading towards the PRT?" Brian asked with a light coating of darkness around him to hide better. The idea seemed insane but it would give them more rep to work with which was always a plus. And if they didn't at least try that rep would also go down the toilet as not responding to a attack was suicide.

"For the hundredth time yes. Bakuda from what I can gather is hiding out somewhere in the general area. Come on lets get going again." Lisa replied annoyed with the constant questions. What were they to do? Just give that intel to someone and let them have the glory of taking the bitch down? Hell no, they, well she, tracked her and she was damn well going to get the prize. Just had to be very careful because she didn't want herself or the others to get fragged.

Sighing with a nod Brian stepped out of the alleyway only to stop dead in his tracks and gathering more darkness around himself and the rest. Leaning around him what Lisa saw caused her to pale and mutter a curse.

It was a teenage girl kitted out in a bullet proof vest, helmet, pads on her limbs, gloves and steal toed boots. She was power walking down the middle of the street with a gun in each hand, a single knife on her waist and seemed to be on a mission.

"Well shit, Tattletale any thoughts?" Brian asked over to the groups thinker as this didn't look good. Who the hell would be so brazen to do this now of all times?

"She's a parahuman, probably just triggered a few hours ago in all this madness. What she has on and those guns? Stolen from the looks of it, probably a gun store or the like. Judging by those dried tears on her lower face my guess is someone close to her died and she is now out for blood." Tattletale responded with a light grimace. This new trigger wouldn't stop for anything and anyone that got in her way would be dealt with harshly.

There was a very real and valid reason to not target capes when the mask was off. And why there was allowances for what a new trigger does shortly afterwards, rarely was there ever a happy ending for those around the new trigger that day.

Relaying that to her team they watched as a ABB member stepped out from a building. This caused the new trigger to quickly raise one of her guns and shoot the guy in the arm. There was no pause or hesitation from the shot nor when walking over. Tilting her head the new girl kneecapped the guy and once he was on the ground stomped the bullet wound.

Ignoring the new screams she leaned down. "Where is Bakuda?" She asked. The gang member spat at her before cursing some more. Still calm she presses the gun against his groin and cocks back the trigger. "Last chance, where is Bakuda?" Asking her questions a second time though now with some grinding as well on the bullet hole.

"Shi-i-iT! Fine! By the PRT HQ damnit! I only know we get supplies from around there. I don't know shit else I fucking swear!" The ABB gang member finally spat out between groans of pain. With a gentle nod she stands up straight from where she was bending over. As she does so the gun follows her arms path and once it was even with his head she fired off a final round.

Splattered in blood the teen turns around and looks directly at where the Undersiders are. "Well? Are you going to cause trouble for me or not?" She calls out.

Lisa starts to move forward but is grabbed by Brian. "Wait! Are a seriously going to go talk to her? After that?!" He whispers sharply.

"Yes, as long as we don't get in her way or threaten her we are fine. Besides, despite wanting the honor of taking down Bakuda if we did that would firmly put her on our asses. She isn't taking any second places or disagreements." Lisa said back fairly calmly though there was a even worse grimace under her face mask. Looks like she wouldn't be getting her prize after all.

Jiggling her arm Brian has a hold of he lets go as she walks out of the darkness. With a light breath when really wanting to take a huge one she nods at the other girl. "We are after Bakuda not only because of all of this but she tried to kill us earlier. If you want we can team up? I'm Tattletales and we are the Undersiders. Small time and only steal from gangs or corporations, we don't hurt any civilians." She said all that because she didn't want any communication errors here. Yes they are villains, no they don't hurt people, yes they are after the same person and yes they were both attacked by Bakuda. Simple and hopefully won't set the other girl off.

"I don't care if you are after her or not, you can follow me but don't get in my way of her. Now, do you have any better information on where she is?" Was asked back to Lisa who after a moment nods and adds that Bakuda's base was within a few blocks at most of the PRT.

Turning and walking away the Undersiders hesitate for a moment glancing at each other before moving after her to follow. Brian speaks up now and introduces each of them before asking if she has a name just yet.

"No, once this is done maybe I'll think of something but for now I just don't care. Call me whatever you want." Was the answer he got.

A short time later we find them outside of a building that between the new girl with her unrelenting violence to coerce answers and Lisa managed to figure out was the base Baduka was operating out of. With a wave of her hand to back off to the Undersiders she walked forward and started calling Bakuda out. Curse words, saying how she is a coward without Lung, how she couldn't do anything besides hide in a hole.

She kept on going until there was a response, which happened to be a grenade being thrown at her from a window. Arm snapping up she shot the grenade off course and away to let it detonate without danger to her or the Undersiders.

"Truly pathetic, is this the best I can expect? You have ten more seconds after I finish talking to come out and face me or I will start setting the building on fire." This said she walked over to a car and started opening where the gas goes in.

"Fine you skinny bitch! You want me here I am! But what are you going to do? These people have bombs in their heads and are forced to do this. Will you let them die or kill them just to get to me?" Bakuda called out gloatingly in a circle of a dozen armed conscripts, and everyone was loaded for some heavy duty work.

There was no pause just the teen snapping her arms up once more and shooting those in front of Bakuda. With those bombs they were already dead so despite knowing it will haunt her for life she still mowed them down ruthlessly.

As they opened fire and Bakuda used a grenade launcher she became what seemed to be a flash of light zipping from her spot to another in the air twenty feet up and upside down. Pausing there to kill a few more for an instant as gravity started to effect her once more she shot one of Bakuda's hands then the cape zipped again until they were behind the group.

By this time everyone but two were dead and she finished those off quickly. Now inside Bakuda's personal space she grabbed the knife on her hip and forced her head back before driving it forward. With the blood flowing out she ripped it out to cause a gaping wound, but Bakuda unpinned one last grenade and grabbed hold of her with her one good hand.

Just before the blast could go off the cape seemed to do the impossible and time reversed itself on her yet nothing else is touched. It was weird watching it, as if someone hit the rewind button on a video for just one thing.

Now back to where she was by the car the teen watched as life quickly fled Bakuda's body before the explosion rocked the area. She just stood there watching, and once it was done explosions started to blast out of the Bay from all over. Small ones yes but you could still tell there were dozens of them.

Letting out a quiet sigh the girl slumped ever so slightly in posture and turned to the Undersiders. Said Undersiders were torn between gawking at what was done, and horror knowing someone that can and will kill capes in such a way was now on the scene.

"Tho..Those explosions. The bombs she implanted inside people! There must have been a kill switch." Lisa called out to everyone in grim sickness as her powers now filled her in on how many were being murdered. This in turn caused the one who just killed Bakuda to pause before shaking her head and moving on.

"I doubt anyone could have removed those bombs safely. And with how that must have been rigged it means no matter what Bakuda was probably going to set them off as one last grand fuck you before losing." She called out turning away from them now and leaving.

"Oh, and as for a name? Call me Tracer." Was the last thing the now named Tracer said before going around a corner.

Well that is it for this particular one shot. Taylor triggers not form the locker but when her dad dies right beside her from Bakuda. Taylor got homeschooling and took martial arts class between the locker incident and now. Her life was looking up and her relationship with her dad was better than it had been in years.

She has all of Tracers powers but is more ruthless and I added good hand eye coordination. So no spray and pray here as this girl, unlike the original, can truly shoot.

I don't really have anywhere else to take this at the moment, no how did the Undersiders get away from Lung or anything else. Nor where this could go in the future besides maybe a PHO interlude about this. Anyone wants to take this and run with it by my guest.
