Sting of Justice

A couple walks out of the movie theater on a humid summer night. The streets are damp from a rainfall they avoided by seeing the movie.  They argue over the significance of the plot without a care in the world. Young love blossoming over a discussion of what the end really means. Lost in their thoughts they don't see the shadow emerge from behind them. 

A tall dark thin figure moves swiftly behind them, his intentions no good , he reaches in his pocket and pulls out a switchblade. The couple stops waiting for a light change, as the figure gets closer, but the night is about the oblivious as a small dart is shot out into the villains neck. Confusion turns to sleepiness as he passes out and collapses to the floor, only to be dragged into the nearby alley. The couple turns around hearing the thud but see nothing behind them, unaware of the danger they were in. The light changes they cross going back into their world, being watched by a figure who gleams a goldish yellow under the moonlight.

The figure sighs as they pick up the perp and tie him up to a lamp post. Turning on their visible headset the figure speaks. 
"Data, drop a pin on this guy and send it out to the cops, he won't be awake for at least 40 minutes". 
The figure makes their way to a rooftop looking down at the couple walking off, sighing to themself. Lifting the steampunk style glasses of, the figure reveals her face. Brown eyes, light tan skin, she bites her bottom lip looks down at her watch. Sirens are heard in the distance, as her watch sends out an alert.
"Data".
"54th and Lex,  jewelry shop, looks like Stylin's guys are at again". 
"Gotcha" she says as she puts down her goggles and makes her way to the edge of the roof. She notices the cops picking up the mugger, and prepares to jump. She jumps, expanding her arms revealing her wing suit as she glides off into the night. 

..........
The police untie the unconscious perp, the dart being removed from his neck and placed in an evidence bag.
"Looks like the bee?" 
"Yep, look is time she left a card." The officer holds up a card shakes his head and throws it to the floor. 

It reads Your Welcome, The Sting of Justice.
