Advanced Criminal Justice, Monday, Period 3

"Your final shouldn't come as a surprise," Batman said. The Danger Shop had a familiar look. They were on a rooftop, there was a table with weapons, grapple lines, and - if you looked past all that - dark red cell phones. "Despite certain events that interrupted the cohesion of this class, I think you all have a handle on how to best use your skills and knowledge to handle problems."

"In this case, the problem is simple. Bane, a bruising mercenary with genius intellect and a system to pump a drug called Venom into his body to increase his muscle mass, strength, and durability, has kidnapped the mayor's daughter and you've tracked him to the house just below us." It was a two-story house. Investigation would show there was a crawlspace, and no full basement. "You've discovered that he's in that building just below us. Bane has some number of guards with him in that house. Use your strengths. Do your job. You'll be graded on how well your choices pan out."

Yeah, Karina was getting the 'using the powers thing'. On the other hand, this was one case where he using his meant she could probably get away with not using hers.

Karina warred briefly with her scruples--this was sort of underhanded, even if only she knew it--and caved.

"Okay," she said reluctantly. "I can cover for you, just in case someone--"

She paused.

"Did Batman say we couldn't just call the cops?"

Didn't that count as doing their job?
