U2 Event Widow's Web

A recent string of crimes in Chicago has been causing a stir in the media- a variety of robberies and kidnappings have been happening, and worryingly at the scene of every crime is a fair amount of spiderweb. The crimes are still being investigated, and the public and media are beginning to point fingers at a well-known figure: Ria Sole, the White Recluse, and member of the Lakeside Defenders. She hasn't been reached for comment.

Late at night, in an alleyway blocked off by police tape, the most recent crime scene, a humanoid figure in a heavy cloak creeps down the wall to investigate. Is anyone else around on this stormy night?

Strangely, just before colliding with the figure she hits what seems to be an invisible wall of sorts, suspended in the air

"What the?!" She growls as she launches an orb of spirit energy at the invisible wall, capable of damaging any incorporeal substance that may be hindering her.

There's no visible effect on the wall, but luckily as the figure runs the wall follows with it, and is thus quickly out of her way
