long time, no see
She'd arrived in New York 2 days ago, wearing a wig & using an alias. The only person she'd kept in contact with over the last couple of years was Alfred & even he didn't know she was coming home that month. (Well, not "home", but back to America). So she was free to do as she pleased for the time being, & she did. Unable to just sightsee or sit in her room all day, Jayn took to the streets & found out about a shipment of human beings coming in Friday night. All she'd brought with her was her Frostbite gear, her money & some basic essentials; she had more than enough to do what needed to be done.
The people working the operation didn't stand a chance--not that she pitied them. She sprinted & flipped through the dark with ease, stalking each person in the shadows. Her powers allowed her to sense heartbeats & with some effort, she could prevent a handful of people from using their trigger fingers when she decided to step in & take them out. Those who resisted were usually just knocked out, but if they kept resisting & made too much noise, they died. She'd left a few alive so they could welcome their friends to the docks. All there was was getting those poor people out of whatever storage container. Then, their captors would die.
But while she was sitting on her perch, she sensed a heartbeat that she hadn't accounted for. It was higher up than the rest & remarkably steady compared to those that still remained.
