Major Story Arcs
Carnage Reigns
As part of a prisoner release program, Hightail joined a anti-superhuman task force called the Cape Killers under Agent Gao. They are called into action when Cletus Kasady uses the Extrembiote, a combination of a symbiote dragon and the extremis virus, to turn New Yorkers into his puppets. They find themselves allied with Spider-Man (Morales) and the new Red Goblin (Normie Osborn), who can absorb symbiotes.
Unfortunately, their combined might was still not enough to take on Cletus. The rest of Hightail’s team were taken out, leaving her as Miles’ only back up until Iron Man arrived to help them. Reunited with Scorpion and joined by the new Red Goblin, Hightail and the others kept a bunch of Carnage zombies busy while Iron Man rigged an EMP to take out the Extrembiote Cletus was possessing.
Bad Blood
After Miles earned some time from Agent Gao for helping with Carnage, Gao instructed Hightail to stick on Miles and keep him under observation. Miles figured her out and decided to loose her. Embarrassed that Miles got the best of her, she finally tracked him down to the subway, where he was hunting vampires with Blade and Bloodline. She interrupted them during an incantation to magically trap an energy vampire named R’ym’r. This gave R’ym’r the opportunity to escape but not before he infected Hightail, turning her into one of his soldiers.
As a superhuman, Hightails connection to the master vamp gave him a superhuman boost. Bri and Blade did their best to fight him off while Miles attempts to stop Hightail. When convincing her to give in doesn’t work, Miles overloads her with a venom blast knocking her unconscious. With the master vamp’s power levels dropping exponentially without Hightail, the trio are able to trap him in the magical vessel, curing all his goons, including Hightail.
Gang War
When Hammerhead incited a gang war hoping the gangs would take each other out and the Maggia could swoop in and take over the city, Agent Gao sent the Cape Killers into the field to keep the peace in Brooklyn with Hightail leading this assignment. Frost Pharaoh and The Bumbler were leading gangs against each other, and they have already gotten the attention of Miles Morales. Because Miles was deputized by the mayor, the Cape Killers couldn’t arrest him, so they reluctantly worked with him. After defeating Frost Pharaoh and Bumbler, they turned to the Enforcers and their new leader, The Prowler, who were all upgraded with mysterious new tech.
