Kill him

The man had a gun, and could kill the poor girl at any moment. This was not a time for fancy tricks.

And maybe Thunderbird was right. The bastard had killed two people in cold blood, just to get his hands on his daughter. Perhaps he deserved to die.

Summoning a long, sharp tanto, Cad aimed it right at the murderer's neck.

"Now, your gonna repeat after me," he shouted, raising the gun. "'I'm a -' shtick!" He barely had time to react as a 6-inch blade imbedded itself in his throat. He dropped the gun as the daughter screamed, looking away. He looked at the blade in awe for a second, gripping the handle, before he collapsed. He gurgled for a few seconds as he succumbed to his ****.

Emerging from the shadows, Cad approached the girl. "Are you hurt, ma'am?" He asked, offering her a hand. She looked up, seeming to recognize the costume, before taking his hand. Her breasts jiggled as she got up, and Cad thanked his hood for obscuring his staring.

"I'm good, I'm good can we just..." She glanced over at the body. "Can we go to another room?"

Cad nodded, leading her back into the living room.

"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 stared right at Cad. "But don't apologize for killing him. I'm glad you did and I'm glad I watched. He was a monster and a scoundrel, and he can rot in hell!" Cad remained silent for a minute as she regained her composure. "Sorry, I got a little carried away there. I'm Gabrielle, by the way. Gabrielle Goldsmith. I... I know who you are."

Cloak and Dagger just nodded. "I'd advise calling 911. You'll want to explain to a police officer what occurred. Don't want you to get in any trouble."

She nodded, though she seemed to be more focused on her hero than on his instructions. "So, is there any way I can thank my hero face to face?" Cad shook his head. "A shame. I guess this will have to suffice..." Without another word, she plunged her hands into his hood. interlacing her fingers around the back of his neck, she pulled him in for a deep kiss. Cad reciprocated, holding her by the waist and bringing her closer. She was an amazing kisser, definitely having a lot of practice, and she was really into it. Her tongue snaked into his mouth as her breasts pressed against his chest. Cad's hands began drifting towards her ass, which was small but juicy.

Sucking on his bottom lip, she pulled back until the lip popped out of her mouth. "I hope that kiss was worth my life," she purred, letting him squeeze her ass a few times before taking a step back. Looking down, she seemed to remember that she was topless and let out a hearty laugh. "I guess I should put on a shirt before I call the cops, huh?"

"I apologize, Gabrielle, but I-"

"Oh, yes, go save the city, I'll be a good damsel and phone the cops. Just remember that my life is worth way more than that kiss. I still owe you!" Cad nodded, giving her body one more appreciative lookover before escaping out the same window he entered.

As he entered the night air, he saw a drone buzzing around the corner. From the looks of it, it was one of Swarm's drones. She was another young hero looking for fame, using her drones to patrol and fight crime. Cad decided to let it go, having bigger fish to fry.

If Phantom's tip meant anything.
