"s**t... and I didn't know you drive." Travis said, trying to keep the panic out of his voice.

Aurelio smiled.
"Yeah, I kinda don't. But anyways, all the data on our trackings of Zero is missing! The only person who can do that is me! We need information from the townspeople. Ask someone if they've seen a..."
Aurelio tried to think of a word.
"...Freak of nature."

"Alright... and are you sure it's all gone?" Travis said.

"I'm sure I have a backup somewhere...."
Aurelio searched the computer.
"Here we go! He was last seen in the shopping center. Odd.... That's where you are! Look for him!"

Travis looked around, seeing the roof of the shopping center over some nearby trees, "I have a feeling that he is probably looking for me..."

Aurelio gasped.
"He's right on top of you! Within five feet!"

Travis looked around but didn't see Zero anywhere, "Oh... ******** style="color: brown">Zero was underground.

((We'll need a real, honest-to-goodness superhero before I send Biohazard into the mix. Otherwise he'll just wreck havoc and extraordinarily seem to miss these little people who aren't NPC's quite a bit. I'm thinking of a comic-relief character who is like a really strong, well-built superhero but his actual power is elasticity.))
A young woman, openly wearing her bizarre outfit, strolled down the street, much to the confusion of the common people. She was wearing a long, flowing red cape-thing (it was a cross between a cape and a cloak, and could work as either), and the remains of a tattered red dress below her midsection. A bright, metal breastplate protected her chest, and her entire right arm was armored. Other than this, she was wearing tight, white spandex with some sort of pattern of black marking, on her torso and her unprotected arm, and tall white boots as well. Her voluminous blond hair was held up in a tie, but it fell longer than her shoulders in a thick bush even so. On her right hand, a metal gauntlet. On her left, a comically-thick glove. A whip hung from a small belt hidden by her dress/sash, and she wore it liberally.
Her name was Sheo, and she was a Night Wolf. Although there were bigger icons - superhero and villain - out there, the media couldn't help but dub her lovingly as the "Wolf," and probably because she was a popular figure in the night and besides.
Sheo was bored. She could scale an entire skyscraper with ease, and out-kick even the most brutal thug and the most vicious cheerleader. She was an acrobat and an athlete, though she did not compete in any 'sports,' so to speak - at least none considered that by the rest of the populace.
As she walked, Sheo hummed a little tune from her childhood, the pink panther theme, actually. She thought it befitted her well, and she liked it. Maybe a new costume was in order... red, black and white might make way for a flamboyant hot pink, with white undertones. Her brown leather whip would have to be replaced with black leather, as well.
Then some peculiar movement caught her attention. She could sense how nervous somebody was, and sure enough, she spotted a prime candidate for a would-be mugger hanging out near the entrance to an alley-way. With a devious grin, Sheo drifted her way over, until she was ten feet behind the thug, just watching the cars go by.
Out of the corner of her eye, Sheo saw the thug grab someone and shove them into the alley, quickly following afterwards.
The thug had chosen a spunky woman in her twenties, carrying a dark chocolate purse that matched her boots. The thug was trying to wrestle the purse away from the woman, who was fighting back fiercely as if she had been tug-of-war champion at youth camp.
"Let go!" The thug yelled, and received only screaming in response. Fearing that someone passing by would attempt to discern the source of the screams, the thug let go of the purse and ran towards the opposite entrance to the alley. Sheo stopped him there.
Dropping from the four-story roof above, Sheo landed with grace directly in front of the thug, who backed away with fear. Although it wasn't possible for anyone but the largest fanatic to know every superhero, super villain, masked figure, and costumed superhuman, it was quite understandable to feel afraid of anyone in tight, flashy underwear who could safely fall forty feet.
Laughing, and not giving him the chance to run, Sheo cartwheeled over and delivered a roundhouse kick before leaping up into the air, landing the thug straight onto the ground, and her foot straight onto his neck.
She didn't kill. Never did. But she did enjoy giving these brutish thug-men a chance to reevaluate how weak they actually were, especially compared to women.
After a minute of staring the thug down, Sheo removed her foot and picked the thug up by his shirt, tossing him out of the alleyway. The woman who had saved herself was not present; she had probably left as soon as she had her purse clutched safely in her greedy paws, so to speak.
Grinning with satisfaction, Sheo continued on her way, deciding that a stroll in the park wouldn't be half-bad.

"Any advice?" Travis said as he took a few steps towards the park entrance.

"Well, I can't really think of anything other than 'shoot stuff', but I'm sure you'll figure something out."

 (Oh noes! Al has turned evil! lol >.<)
Lulu was in her cat form. She had a strange marking on her forehead and a bell tied around her neck. She was walking around town, her bell making a slight chime as she walked. She stopped near Travis when she could sense something underground. She started mewing.
