"Uh oh, Batwoman made a swear! What'll the commissioner say about that?" Afterburn laughed, unaware of the second meaning to her implication. "He'll be fine, I was only using a fraction of my abilities, the worst he'll need after this is a little skin therapy courtesy of whoever's paying him. Not to mention it makes the process of intero-... what," she cut off mid-sentence upon seeing the criminal smack the fireball back at her like a tennis ball. "Well I'll be damned. We're chasing after a meta," she said actually somewhat impressed as she defused the fireball into air with a motion similar to that of a parent telling her child to hush. "Things just got interesting Batgirl, let's mosey!" Afterburn said practically leaping out of her heeled shoes to give chase, and for the first time actually using Batgirl's proper name. They were almost like friends, how cute. As she descended the steps as fast as she could, Afterburn cursed the fact that she'd left her suit on her cycle since it meant no using her Revenant form or the full capacity of her flames. Had she known Joe Dark here was a meta, she wouldn't have left herself with only her martial arts and acrobatics to take him down.
Seeing an easy opportunity, Afterburn jumped from the third to the first floor easily being able to handle the blow on her legs and easily closing the distance between her and Royce. Once again taking advantage of her practiced aim, she formed a plan to trap the would be deal maker where she could take him on Bruce Lee style. At this moment, she gave a quick thank you that people always made the front doors to apartment complexes sturdy for some reason. Trying to give the impression she had fired a missed shot, Afterburn gave a fake stumble and fired a fireball at the door handle of the front door, melting the lock mechanism and rendering the handle both inoperable and far too hot to the touch to try to work it regardless. Now unless this guy felt like taking a shortcut through the two adjacent apartments, it was just between him and her. At this point, getting the briefcase back was a secondary objective. She was curious who in Jump had the money to be paying a meta to do their dirty work. She was gonna make this punk squeal whether he liked it or not.
