As he seemed to give she began to relax, reaching towards her waist where a pair of hand cuffs were hidden. They were a familiar enough item that criminals seemed to fear them less and would cooperate with them more then anything she could create. Just as she had taken them out and started to say to put his hands behind his back she would find he had tricked her. The cuffs fell to the floor with the victims blood as she felt the room go dark. He was fast....

She raised her staff, transforming the end of the staff essentially to a ball of fire. It could only last ten minutes or so but it was her only real bet. She also assumed her metallic form since even the white fire light could not penetrate far enough for her to see where she had gone. She moved to his victims, her movements slower then before as being living metal had it's consequences. She would transform erh fingers back to normal to feel each man's pulse.It didn't matter to her who they were, murder was murder... Besides he was probably sent by other dealers to take out the competition anyway, that was what usually happened.

"Murder is still a crime in New York State, not matter who the victim and I will uphold those laws. Come peacefully and no one else needs to get hurt." She said with more confidence then she felt. She stood in a defensive position then and transformed her fingers back to normal. They had always said the long disappeared Superman had stood for truth and justice, her tone and conviction indicated she was just as much a goody too shoes as he had been.

For herself, she could be no other way. She fought to restore the lines of right and wrong in a world that even the government...perhaps especially the government seemed to have forgotten them. She would not back down just because it was a little dark or hard. So instead she waited for him to show himself as she could still sense him somewhere....somewhere in the dark. Being so connected to magic as she was sensing the ethereal was only natural, if basically useless due to her lack of ability to focus it to more specific then 'in the building'.
