WHO: Alyssa Kenworthy and Thomas Taylor
WHERE: An alley in NYC.

WHAT: Coming back from a little recon, the two get ambushed.
WARNINGS: Violence. A character's going to get seriously injured.
It was amazing how fast the world could go to hell around you. It felt like in the blink of an eye Alyssa had gone from flying proudly around the city saving lives, to slinking around dark alleyways with a baseball cap hiding her face from the world while most of the superhero crews were locked away or dead. She hadn't seen Jen in so long that it felt permanent, an ache fresh in her gut that dimmed the enthusiasm she was once trademarked for. The government had been sneaky, hiding the news of their plans until they struck.
The reincarnates were in a war with the mundies and they hadn't even known until it was too late.
It would be safer to hide and try to ride out the storm, but that was never really the Johnny Storm style. Nor, it would seem, was it Spidey's. If Alyssa really thought about it--and she did at night sometimes when insomnia got the best of her--it was probably why so many of their friends had gotten picked off. They were all meddlers in the heroic sense, discontent with just sitting and waiting for good to happen.
"If we cut through on 5th we can get off the streets quicker," Alyssa muttered under her breath to her partner-in-crime of the day, hand moving up to tug her baseball cap down further. They were hiding in plain sight in the crowds of the city, both with necessary information in their brains for the rest of the team. And despite being dressed--in shorts and a t-shirt rather than the Fantastic Four suit she hadn't touched in weeks--she'd never felt more exposed.
"We're getting some curious looks. Somebody's going to recognize us."
