Alyson leaned back against the alley wall with frustration in her eyes, the sky was a dark indigo above her lit up by the city lights.

She tapped her fingertips against the wall as she waited.

Barely twenty minutes ago she'd been stopping a bank robbery downtown, she was living back in Queens now and was officially an avenger; trying to mostly hide her second name to protect her family, but the people that knew her knew the truth.

It would have been hard to keep her identity a secret anyway as her face had been plastered all over the news along with the rest of the Avengers after Sokovia.

Movement overhead caught Aly's eye, she spotted a web sling past the top of the alleyway, with a huff she stuck her palm out and sent an electric bolt towards it; she knew it wouldn't hurt him, he was a lot stronger now.

Peter tumbled into the alleyway with a grunt, he stammered to the ground ready for an attack but swallowed nervously as his eyes landed on his sister.

"What are you doing spidey?" she asked, crossing her arms.

He rubbed the back of his head "nothing" he mumbled but Alyson huffed "I told you to stay home while I dealt with it!"

Twenty minutes ago

A man dressed fully in black smashed through the window of a bank, holding up a gun at a security guard who'd unfortunately been the only one on shift that night.

"Show me where the cash....ugh"

He stammered forward suddenly as a bolt of electricity pierced the back of his skin, then fell to the ground revealing Alyson who stood behind him.

"Electra?" the security guard asked, Aly looked at him defeatedly; the nickname Electra had sort of been given to her by the public.

"Sure" she sighed, then told him to get out of there whilst she cleared the building; she'd seen more armed men sneak through a vent near the back moments before they'd tried to distract the security guard.

Alyson had been following the group after seeing some news footage online from a previous robbery; she was the city's official avenger now so going after guys like this was basically her full-time job; plus she was 18 now and no longer a high school student.

She crept through the building towards the sound of muffled voices, arming her fingertips with blue electricity as she pushed open a door. The group stopped what they were doing after hearing the sound of static energy in the air.

They pointed their guns at her and she smirked in response, "think you missed a couple of dollar bills over there fellas" she pouted then held up a force field as they shot at her.

Alyson threw the forcefield at them with a grunt as bullets ricocheted around her.

The blast from the force field knocked two of the men to the ground, but still left one guy standing, she huffed out impatiently.
