"Make sure those weapons are unloaded within the next half hour," D-Back ordered in his thick Latino accent, "Roach gave specific orders, and I intend to follow them." he shouted through a bullhorn as the members unloaded crate after crate filled with weapons. His phone began to ring and he picked it up, knowing it was Roach who was calling him.

"Boss we are over halfway unloaded, it will take us at least another hour to finish." the Latino informed his boss.

"Excellent," Roach said over the other end, but he had not just called to check un the unloading of weapons, "D-Back, inform Sitcom to check the map of Los Angeles again, want to make sure we find the right point to unleash 'Carnation' for we need to find the right place for it to cause the most damage in the long run." Roach informed his weapons man.

"I'm still confused why we don't just use the water supplies boss, spread it to as many people as possible right off the bat." D-Back said to his leader, and that caused Roach to sigh.

"We don't want to do that, there's no fun in that, besides, we want to see the city tear itself apart, which is why causing panic is only step one as you know." Roach informed his weapons man.

"What is step two, boss?" D-Back asked his boss.

"That will be revealed when the time is right, after all, good things come to those who wait." Roach said simply as he hung up the phone, leaving his weapons man to ponder what step two was.


"'Carnation,' I don't like the sound of that." Jim said as he took off his headphones, the LAPD had received another tip that the gang leader would be making a phone call to his weapons man, and even though the call couldn't be traced to a location, they overheard the conversation, and what Jim had heard made him worried, and they could currently could be found in the LAPD's communications room, listening in on the conversation.

"I agree, whatever 'Carnation' is, it don't sound good." Moss said as he took off his headphones as well, "we as well should take a look at the city maps, if this gang leader has assigned this 'Sitcom' to look over maps finding the right place to unleash, whatever the hell this thing is, then we as well should be prepared." Moss said to his captain, and that made him nod his head in agreement.

"I'm going to inform Squirrel Girl, she should know about this, that way she can prepare." Jim said as he stood up form his chair and walked back towards his office.


-Two Hours Later-

"Boss, I found the perfect location to showcase what 'Carnation is capable off," Sitcom said as he, D-Back and Roach sat in Roach's office of the gangs warehouse, "there are several news studios not to far from our location, if we broadcast what this thing can do, it spreads fear, just like you wanted." Sitcom said with a smile on his face, which made Roach smile as well.

"Excellent Sitcom, spreading fear is step one, and what better way to do that than to show what our little project is capable off." Roach said as he rubbed his hands together.

"I agree boss, but the question is, when do we want to show what this is capable off?" D-Back asked his leader.

"Like I said previously, let's let the LAPD and Squirrel Girl think they've won, and then we squash the flames of hope with the flames of chaos," Roach said with a happy sigh, "after the cities heroes fall, the whole city will fall shortly there after, for fear is a dangerous weapon, and we have weaponized fear." Roach said with a sadistic smile, and that caused his subordinates to smile sadistically as well.


-One Hour Later-

"What's taking her so long?" Jim said out loud as he stood on the police station roof waiting for the arrival of the squirrel tailed heroine.

"Had to stop a car-jacking," the heroines voice called out from behind the police captain as he turned and saw the grinning heroine, who was in a good mood from stopping a car theft, "sorry I'm late." SG apologized a she rubbed a thin red line on her left arm, and it was easy for Jim to tell that the car thief had gotten in a hit with a knife most likely, but he had bigger things to worry about than a minor injury that a healing factor would take care of.

"Squirrel Girl, we've received a tip that one of Mayor Anderson's aids is connected to the gangs, and I've got myself a warrant to search his penthouse." Jim informed the surprised heroine.

"Where do we keep getting all these tips from?" SG asked with a suspicions tone in her voice.

"Don't know, it's always a mechanical voice on an untraceable line, but so far every tip has been good, so we've learned to trust whoever this is." Jim said seriously, but that didn't ease the heroine suspicions.

"One thing I've learned is to never lower your guard, so make sure you always keep your guard up." SG advised the captain, which caused him to nod in agreement.

"Regardless, we want to raid his penthouse tonight, and I want you to lead the op in case things go south." Jim said to the heroine, and that caused her to nod silently in agreement...


"Remember, radio contact at all time, and don't move in till I give you the signal." SG ordered the task force that was currently positioned outside the aids front door. Without another word SG kicked the door down with a powerful kick and lunged into the penthouse, where the mayors aid was standing there holding a glass of wine, and also having a very shocked look in his face.

"What is the meaning of this?!" he demanded as his shocked expression turned to pure anger.

"Got a warrant to search your penthouse, so stay out of the way," SG ordered as she walked past the aid, and snapped her fingers, and two of the officers walked in, "please keep our host company while I search every room." she ordered the two officers, who nodded and pulled the aid to the penthouses kitchen.


"Found anything?" an officer asked the heroine over the radio.

"Not ye-," she paused as she heard something hollow as she patted a certain spot on the wall of the aids billiards, and quickly punched a hole in the wall and the whole section came crumbling down, to reveal huge sealed crates, "jackpot, send someone into the billiards room." she ordered over the radio, and a minute later, a strong looking police officer entered the room, and helped her pry open the crate, revealing AK-47's, and tones of hundred dollar bills.

"Call Jim, tell him we found our evidence." SG ordered as she exited the room and went to the kitchen to confront the mayors aid.

"Hope you got a get out of jail free card, cause otherwise your going down for a long time." SG said with a smile as she left the room, as the aid was cuffed and read his rights, he muttered three words that her enhanced hearing heard perfectly, "We shall see..."
