"Hey Adam...wanna go out on a patrol together? It'll be fun."

Boy, was Lily really starting to regret those words right now.

A little nightly patrol on New York City, looking to maybe stop some muggers had take a drastic turn when Lily and Adam happened upon a little villain group called the Pack pulling a heist on a local LuthorCorp Facility.

A few muggers they could have handled? A group of villains with high-tech armor? They were in a little bit over their heads.

Troia went slamming into a wall of crates, and they fell down around her. She climbed out of them, throwing on of them at Coyote, who had sent her into that wall of crates.

Any number of things had been going down recently, but the rash of various thefts from Queen, Wayne, Luthor, and Kord Industries' west coast branches (the last one made it personal), also had to be dealt with.  Dinah had done some investigating on her own, the clues being relatively simple things, since the robberies themselves had largely been smash and grabs and the like.

What had been surprising were the culprits involved: the Pack.  The mercenary team was relatively well known within certain circles, operating out of Zandia with impunity from the laws.  This seemed a bit below their usual standard, but it probably meant someone even higher up on the food chain was working an angle.

And the next theft, based on what she had pieced together about just what had been stolen, was going to be in Gotham, at one of the Wayne Industries warehouses.  Even with the Scarab, she knew she couldn't take them all on on her own.  She needed the Titans.  But with the team decimated of late and time being of the essence, she'd only been able to get Pippi, Mitzi, and Ash to come with her.

Fortunately, they'd been able to pick Riley up along the way.

She brought the Bug into hover mode, closing the faceplate on her armor.  "Okay, I briefed you all on these guys on the way over.  They're very nasty and they won't hesitate to kill you if you get the chance.  No fancy heroics.  We play this like a team."
