Audrey doubted she would be able to afford an apartment in California. Even with the prize money from her most recent martial arts competition, it seemed that California was just too expensive for her. Jump City, however, was strangely less expensive to live in than everywhere else in the state.
She later learned the reason behind this was due to the villainous activity. Oh well. At least there were heroes to fight against it.
Though it would seem criminal activity was not limited to super villains...
As Audrey sat on a park bench, a man lurked nearby, eyeing the purse just beside her. Thinking it an easy steal, the man darted past her, grabbing her purse in the process.
“Hey!” Audrey yelled as she bolted after him.
Even with the head start, he was unable to outrun her. Instead, the robber pulled out a knife and pointed it in her direction. Before he could use it, however, the redhead kicked his hand and sent the knife flying.
The man hissed in pain as he held his hand, leaving him oblivious to the kick about to leave him writhing in pain on the ground.
“I advise you stay down,” the woman warned as she reclaimed her purse.
