Scene
With a gymnast's grace the vigilante dropped and swung from ledge to rail to ledge until he was almost directly over the club. He paused for a breath then launched himself into the air, performing a reverse gainer.
With a resounding crash the vigilante landed on the roof of Raphael DiSantiago's Aston Martin DBS. The roof caved in dramatically, shattering the side windows and spraying glass several feet away. There was a collective scream from the crowd as Nemesis slowly stood from his crouch. He twirled his staff once and leveled it at Raphael.
"We need to talk."
The pop of the window breaking sounded like a gunshot. Raphael took cover, pushing the woman he was with to the ground, in front of him. After a moment of hesitation, he pulled himself back up and looked at the vigilante who had just ruined his car. He opened his mouth to speak, but – at first – nothing came out.
"OK. You need to get the fuck off my car." He said with as much moxy as he could muster.
He pulled himself together fully before he spoke again. "The roof of HarpCorp Tower B in 15 minutes?"
Nemesis nodded once, reached to his thigh and brought up what could only be described as a mutant crossbow. There was a soft pop immediately followed by a hiss, and suddenly Nemesis was flying back up the way he came. In moments he’d disappeared into the darkness above.
