These guys were different. She got the impression that these people might actually be serious. Which meant more in getting in good with the right people."We'll have our hands full, alright." The thug reaches out and gives her ass a squeeze before she leaves.

She thought about her partial rivalry with Finch who she knew loved gadgets. Obviously her powers over poison only worked on things that could get poisoned. . “I might have a special guest to prepare for soon. I might need the kind of gear to take down drones and disable electronics. Things that work well against machines or heavy armor would be nice to have.”
