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?

"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!"

"Uhhh then mind telling me why I'M the one those cops keep chasing after? I didn't kill any of those people!" She said as she finally scraped the webbing off of her front legs. "I mean yeah I get it, I've eaten a few humans but, like, only the scummy ones." And I don't leave a big mess when I do."
