Kill of the Night || Cadence & Jax
After a long day of dealing with a particularly rough case, Cadence needed some stress relief. And what better way to achieve that than with a night out as part of her extracurricular activities?
The moment she could free herself from the District Attorney’s office, she texted Jaxon to see if he was free for a bit of vigilante justice. One of the perks of her job was knowing where to find suspected criminals – particularly Metahumans – that she felt needed to be cleaned off the streets. Cadence’s phone buzzed with a response before she even made it to her car and she smirked, glad to see she’d have a partner for the night. Looks like that quiet evening with some wine and leftovers would have to wait until H.A.M.E.R cured some more Metas tonight. She sent the other human a location and time to meet her and headed there, already having her gear stuffed in the trunk compartment of her car.
Cadence parked in the abandoned lot where she’d asked Jaxon to meet her. It was only a quarter mile away from the warehouse she knew a certain Metahuman would be tonight thanks to a tip from one of the DA investigators. Eric Crosby, otherwise known as “Storm” on the streets, had enough evidence to arrest him for trafficking human slaves to a quiet group of Meta extremists. A few years in jail didn’t seem quite fair in Cadence’s opinion, hence why she asked Jaxon to bring along a couple vials of that handy cure H.A.M.E.R made.
The young ADA rolled out of her car in the dark, dressed entirely in black with her hair pulled into a ponytail. Not an inch of skin showed save for her face for now, her mask currently in her hands. She saw Jaxon pull up and greeted him with a smirk. “You got enough vials in case he gives us some trouble?” she asked, wanted to be prepared for the worst. They got lucky capturing the first few subjects, but now that H.A.M.E.R was known in Pansaw, she wanted to avoid any potential issues. “I doubt he’ll be an easy target, but I’m sure that’ll make it all the more fun for us.”
Jaxon had spent pretty much all day with his feet up watching TV after his morning gym session. He did contemplate going for a run just to give himself something to do, but when he received the text from Cadence, he suddenly had other plans for the evening. Jax smiled to himself and shot her a text back to tell her he was in. Getting up from the sofa, he turned off the TV and got changed into his usual all-black outfit which he donned when he went meta-hunting. As soon as he received the time and place, Jaxon got in his car and set off to meet Cadence. She had even picked out their target for the evening, and Jax was more than happy to help her out. He sounded like a real piece of shit, one that Jaxon would gladly take off the streets for good.
Pulling up next to her car, Jax got out, greeting her with a grin. “Hey, beautiful,” he chuckled, pulling a few vials out of his pocket to show her that he was well prepared for the situation. “I’ve got these.. I’ve also got spares in the car just in case,” he reassured her, giving her a little smirk as he leaned against his car, grabbing his mask and a few choice weapons. “It’s no fun if it’s too easy,” he said with another little laugh, pulling the mask on. “You ready?” He asked, his voice distorted by the nifty H.A.M.E.R mask.
