So far, Starlight's first patrol in Baltimore was a raging success compared to her first patrol in Fandom!

After a fair amount of waffling, she had ultimately decided to try her luck across the causeway rather than attempt another dimension. Not that she had any lack of faith in Portalocity or Summer's directions on how to use it - it just didn't seem like the kind of thing one tried for the first time without...you know, witnesses. Maybe a buddy. Like skydiving.

However, Starlight knew she was taking a risk by heading to a city that didn't normally have heroes. Discretion had been the name of the game, and she'd done pretty well so far. She'd managed to stop a guy who was tailing some other costumed girls coming home from a Halloween party by blending in with them for a couple blocks, and by the time the guy caught up, the pack of girls had drunkenly stumbled ahead, and all that had been waiting for him was a very unamused, very sober Starlight.

She'd left the creepy guy's creepy, unconscious body amidst some trash (where he belonged!) before calling in an anonymous tip to the BPD. With that accomplished, Starlight retreated into a dark alley and reached up to yank down the ladder of a fire escape. Creaky and rusty, yes, but if she could work her way up on top of a building, she'd be able to see for several blocks and would minimize the risk of someone spotting her before she was ready.

[expecting one!]
