Jace Reed looked down over Ilecen City. He could see the Lower Ward from his apartment. He had just gotten his degree in criminal investigation, and was looking to put it to use. He knew the local police force would probably hire him, and then train him, but with the crime rate still spiraling out of control while the police force grew, he knew that would lead to only one end. He didn't fancy ending up six feet under, to be replaced by a cop that was even more wet behind the ears than he was.
Instead, he had looked into a few cases that had been opened up, but then closed due to the hero, or more accurately masked vigilante, that ended up bringing justice to those criminals. It was effective, but what surprised Jace was that the police force seemed to be okay with it. Then again, while the so called hero had been prowling the streets, the crime rate was down, and the Lower Ward actually seemed like it was going to straighten up.
Then, mysteriously, the hero disappeared. No one knew what happened, other than the fact that he hadn't died. The only clue left was that his sidekick seemed to be active for a little while longer, before also disappearing. That was where Jace would start looking. As much as it seemed to go against the nature of his degree, he knew that the only way to make a difference in the Lower Wards where he grew up would be to become the masked vigilante.
Jace turned from the window before opening up his computer and pulling up the files about Nighthawk, and his sidekick The Raven. He had it narrowed down to a few names now, but knew that the only way to figure it out would be to see each woman and verify that they were The Raven, before getting them to train him.
