A pretty young woman, out jogging on her own at night in LA? Well, that was just a recipe for a mugging- in fact, that was just what Kitty had in mind. She'd been feeling a bit restless after a day spent monitoring hacked security feeds, so she threw on a pair of shorts and a tank top, and gone to pound the pavement a bit for an impromptu bit of patroling.
It only took her a few blocks before she heard a group of young men following her. They were laughing, elbowing each other as she slowed down, pretending to stop for a drink from a sports bottle. "You lost, baby?" one of them asked her as his friends circled around to surround her. "We can help you get home... for a price." More laughing, and one reached out to grab her in a choke hold.
When she simply passed right through him to stand facing his back, the guy cried out in shock. In a few quick, precise strikes to a few nerve clusters, she forced the man to the ground in a crumpled heap. She took out two of his friends in a similar fashion, using a mix of traditional Japanese techniques and Krav Maga. The last two ran for it- she let them go, shaking her head. "Maybe you should consider a new career path!" she called after them, picking up the knife that one of the fallen thugs had dropped. "You tried to mug me with a Swiss Army knife? Seriously?"
