What does he do?

Disarm and Incapacitate him

Cloak and Dagger was not judge, jury, or executioner. The man would pay, but not by his hands. Cad began to slowly creep around the room as the bastard yelled at the poor daughter.

"Now, your gonna repeat after me," he shouted, raising the gun. "'I'm a little cunt tease.' And say it like you mean it!"

"I-I'm a little... cunt tease," she sobbed back.

"Fucking great. Now say 'I'm just a Jewish b-' AHHH FUCK!" The man screamed in pain as a small 2 inch knife penetrated his hand. He dropped the gun, which fell right in front of the daughter. She hesitated for a second before lunging for it. Enraged, the murderer gave her a swift kick to the face, causing her to yell out and cover her eyes.

Cad had to act soon, before he got the gun agian. Emerging from the shadows he threw another small knife into his foot to disorient him. It worked, and a few swift punches later the man was ****. He wouldn't be getting up for a long, long time.

The girl stopped covering her face, a large bruise forming on her left eye, and scowled at the man's body. Cad approached the girl. "Are you hurt, ma'am?" He asked, offering her a hand. She looked up, seeming to recognize the costume, before rubbing her bruise. "My face feels a bit kicked in but..." She sighed, taking his hand. "It could have been a lot worse. Thank you."

"I'm sorry you had to see that, ma'am," Cad continued, "And about your parents. He was truly an awful, awful man."

"Thank you for your sympathy. And yea, today has really sucked hard." Her face became darker as she looked down at the prone form. "But you should have killed him. His family has money. The thought of him getting off on some Affluenza bullshit sickens me."

"It's not my right to decide his life."

"I see all the right you need right there," she says, gesturing to the knife in his hand.

"You should call 911," Cad said, changing the subject. "You'll want to explain to a police officer what occurred. Don't want you to get in any trouble."

"I should probably put a shirt on before I do that," she giggled, before wincing and grabbing her eye. Taking her hand away, she stared long and hard at her hero.

"Thank you," she whispered, stepping closer. "I don't want to even think about what that bastard would have done." Leaning in, she gave him a quick, soft kiss on his hooded cheek. Stepping back and blushing, she looked down at the floor. "I'm Gabrielle, by the way. I... I'm sorry I can't thank you more right now. I'll... do more in the future, I swear."

"Don't worry about it," he replies. "It's all part of the job.

Before he leaves, he ties up the assailant in case he tries to escape. Gabrielle calls the police while places the call, describing Cad with particularly flattering details. As he exits out the window Cad came in, he comes face to face with a drone. From its design, it looks like one of Swarm's drones. She was another young hero looking for fame, using her drones to patrol and fight crime. The drone hovered for a second before buzzing around a corner. Cad decided to let it go, having bigger fish to fry.

If Phantom's tip meant anything.

What's next?
