Bad timing
Cassie waved at her son and watched him disappear from view into his school. Family stuff done, time for amateur sleuthing. She hadn't seen Kristoff yet today so he was either busy and didn't want to be bothered or... being Kristoff and didn't want to be bothered but probably should be.

She'd hold off calling him for now. First she wanted to go see her dad.

Ten minutes later and she had parked her car outside of her father's apartment and started walking for the door.

"Excuse me, Miss," said a nondescript but slightly lost-looking man approaching her. "Is this...?" He rattled off the street address.

"Yes, it is." Cassie was torn between helping the man out and quickly excusing herself so she could get to work. Sure she was a super hero but she didn't have to be the good citizen all the time. Even though she probably should be.

The man steps close with a relieved expression. "Oh, good."

Then he says, in a vaguely familiar voice, "Illusion protocol disengage" and one visage gives way to another.
"Good morning."

All the color in Cassie's face drained away. She thought she'd prepared herself for this day and now she found she wasn't ready at all.

"What do you want?"

"Many, many things. Today it would have to be the boy." Now that had taken some finding out.

Nonononono.

"Nate, you can't- you can't have him. Please don't." She could hardly get the words out.

Focus, call for help. Cassie slowly reached into her pocket. Just needed to get a hold of the FF alarm...

A wave of his hand as she does so, and the device in her pocket turns against itself, something clearly wrong with its mechanical integrity and electromagnetic field.

Thank you, Mr. Kragoff, the figure most certainly does not say aloud.

His other hand reaches for her wrist. "I do believe I can."

Cassie tried to get out of his reach but her reflexes weren't just sluggish. She might as well have been paralyzed.

"If you remember anything of what you were like before I beg you please don't take him. I'll do anything."

"Miss Lang, you'll most likely do that anyway."
He twisted her hand behind her, held her very tight, and and lifted his other hand to cover her nose and mouth. Then a sudden pulse of force.

Cassie barely had the chance to struggle. She arched back and "Kang's" palm muffled her cry of pain.

It was hard to concentrate but Cassie willed herself to shrink.

His hands scramble only slightly to catch up before there's another set of concussive force meant to incapacitate her.

Cassandra lost consciousness almost immediately. Her last thoughts were of her son and how his mother had failed him.
