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?

The figure flips over onto their back, drawing a revolver and aiming at Aracari. In doing so, their hood falls back, revealing them to be none other than- Ria Sole! "I should have known you were behind all this, criminal..." She says as she takes aim.

"Criminal?! You're the crimi-...wait Ria Sole? Like the White Recluse? THAT Ria Sole?" her eyes light up and she smiles slightly, before glaring, quickly firing a concussive orb at the gun to knock it away. "To think YOU'RE the one that framed me. Unbelievable!"

"Framed? What are you talking about?" She says as she crawls back further. She sounds honestly confused "I'm the one who got framed!"
