@Sir Knight:Oh, yes, I know what you mean about the martial arts bit. I am saying that from a professional point of view, and she would not necessarily choose to have a similar style, anyway...
For one, she could use her scythe in combat more, secondly, she could use her gun in combat more, using her agility to keep her distance, and honing her accuracy with practice, even with movement.
She could use her water powers more, obviously, and she could also use them in conjunction with tech to improve the offensive capabilities of it. She could also take a route of using even more tech for offensive and defensive capabilities. Those are guesses at what she means to do to improve, btw.
I understand how one would normally think she's quite capable at her level of fighting expertiese, but I choose to criticize it because she both wants to take a similar career route to Gray Silhouette, and the fact that she will almost certainly want to, after the trouncing she recieved at the hands of Agent Boston. And yes, I understand what you mean. Immortality sortof slows your reflexes and you allow yourself to take more hits, because you know you can. I know what you mean there. By her age, though, I think she should have learned to fight better than that, although I suppose it depends on what you do with the time... She still fights quite well, but I merely meant she needs a bit of polish, not that she fights like a 2 year old, or something...
I also see what you mean from a story telling point of view. I know how it could get boring. She still has many different combat routes she could take to differentiate her character from the others, like I stated above.
@Zafara: Good to know.
@Celestin: I do not have sympathy for him, I understand how he could get to that situation. I can see the horrors one might do or be convinced are right in such a situation. That does not mean I condone them. I do not see how that is wrong. He was investigating corruption in the agency. That could have compromised it, and weakened it in future opperations or time of crisis, or even destroyed it all together. He could not have known the nature of the situation, and most of these things tend to be just an individual or a few people, who eventually get cought if they leave a trail, like he did; Sometimes they go higher up. Many agencies would be proud of his initiative in such a situation. It's nearly unknown to have something like this happen where somone of such power is backing such an effort, unless it is the head of another country's govornment or the head of a similar agency from such a country, which would wish to sabotage the effectiveness of their enemies. It was completely his business. He was, of course, in over his head, but it was effectively his duty to investigate anything such as this that might occur, if not his normal job...
Being prepared for anything such as that would imply that he had thought something of it other than simple corruption. It seems he did not expect anything larger. In such a business, there is always a possibility of it turning out to be something bigger, but I am guessing he was just in the preliminary stages of investigation, and may not even have thought much of it at the time. He almost certainly thought he had covered his tracks well enough not to be detected snooping around, as well, or so he would have thought.
As I have been saying, and as with the situation of the trap with Mr. Black, there was probably little he could have done if he suspected anything larger, as well, even if he somehow was suspicious of something bigger, which one normally wouldn't have been. One would have obviously been cautious, and probably would have told his superiors (which he probably did [which may have been how he was found out]). He probably would have suspected the possibility of something bigger, but would have not made any conclusions yet, and would have been in an unsure state of mind; Curious, judgemental, perhaps, but not worried, yet.
Especially if he was in the preliminary phases of investigation like I think he may have been, there would normally have been little to fear.
Oh, and he thinks he's destroying monsters. His frame of mind and oppinions regarding smashers are skewed at best.
