Virus had a knack for eavesdropping.
She would infect all technology surrounding the person she intended on overhearing, and then patiently wait to pick something up. She would take control of all recording devices, and livestream every word said near them straight into her database. Virus had never encountered a system she couldn't seize. The girl was a living, breathing malware— no antivirus or security scan could prevent or even detect her presence.
Talia, on the other hand, as a self-proclaimed reformed villain, preferred to eavesdrop in a much more human manner. By teleporting to the location of the person she needed intel on & listening in on their conversations. Admittedly her means of transportation weren't all that mundane, but her method of obtaining information most certainly was.
The information Talia had gotten on the surviving heroes of Mighty Med had been completely acquired through her own ears, and not one of her many, many viruses. She may or may not have used a virus or two to destroy a local bank's security system & allow another villain to rob it in exchange for telling her all he knew about Mighty Med & who had died in the explosion, but that wasn't important. Talia was only doing bad now so she would be able to do good in the long run.
It ended up paying off, to her delight. Talia learned of the survival of not only two of Mighty Med's doctors, but a hero; Skylar Storm. This was both a blessing and a curse, being the last time Talia saw Skylar, she had been going by her alias Virus, and Skylar wasn't exactly a friend to villains. They certainly weren't what you'd call friends. But Talia was open to repairing their extremely damaged relationship—it had never really been undamaged to begin with. Blasting someone off a building never really gave a good first impression, but the new & improved Talia was far more forgiving than her alter-ego.
Talia wasn't so sure about Skylar, however, but seeing as how the girl's powers were stolen, Talia wouldn't have to worry about being blasted. Then again, it was debatable. She had been hearing rumours the two doctors, Kaz & Oliver, had acquired superpowers from making indirect contact with the Arcturion. No one was able to tell her what those powers were, but Talia wasn't deterred from her search.
When in doubt, glitch out. Talia's life motto came in handy whenever she was shot at. And when that one guy threw a car at her.. It's safe to say Talia would be dead, dead & re-dead without her teleportation. She honestly could not understand how some villains survived so long without it— Talia had hidden & watched her fair share of fights, and she would have glitched out before they even began if it were her fighting the battle.
Speaking of glitching out, Talia was pondering the idea of doing that right now; as she sat atop the tallest building in Centium City. Davenport Tower, owned by the billionaire inventor Donald Davenport, also commonly known as the creator of the world's first bionic super humans. Two of which, were rumoured to be in the city. Why? That was what Talia wanted to find out— she didn't doubt it was to find out whoever blew up Mighty Med.
