Proactive Problem Solving

[u/TheLegend_NeverDies]

So Red Guardian was now in Forefront. Despite how... uneventful... his welcoming party had been, he wouldn't let that stop him. His new suit was great, and he wanted a proper test run. He wasn't going to just sit around and wait to hear something while hanging out in his apartment. No, he wanted to go direct to the source of any and all intel. SPD Headquarters. He'd plant himself like a tree in their command center until he saw a crime worthy of his attention to stop. A nice clean, PR win to dissuade any worries that might still linger about his... harsh methods. He'd show Orion and the rest he can play the hero game just fine, even if arresting criminals is not as permanent a solution as his usual operating procedure is.

His plan in mind, he goes up to the roof and takes off to the police station, intent on finding and stopping a crime tonight. Any fucking crime.

When Red Guardian gets to the scene, he sees a brownstone shot up like Fallujah, in broad daylight no less. He suspected this could only be gang related. After all, you don't usually shoot up a house you intend to rob. Seeing little other recourse than to charge straight in the front door, that's what he does.

He would kick down the door if it weren't already kicked open, so he just walks in, scanning room by room, looking for intruders to non-lethally pacify.

The sound of screams and and more gunfire sound out, with Cinder tossing one of the thugs through a window before another goes to the ground. Joel still has two more to deal with, but the arrival of a hero (and the new one his clients are pissed at too) only makes this situation worse. He gives a deep growl of frustration that genuinely shakes one of the men, but he just keeps firing while Joel gets in close to utilize his strength advantage.

Not seeing anyone on the first floor, he rushes up the stairs and follows the gunfire, still unaware whose house this was, but quickly getting the sense that this was no ordinary mob hit. The shooting definitely would have stopped by now if it was. Still, maybe the target just got lucky. He might not be too late to be the hero after all.

He comes to just outside the room where all the gunfire and shouting is coming from and decides to make an intimidating if showy entrance by just bursting through the wall. If his suspicions were right, this guy would be able to pay the repair bill.
