Well, that might be a little petty for her... but she followed.

Near the back of the alley you could see a heavy door and two large men who were probably bikers sitting beside it.

Odd.  Victoria approached, waiting to see what they'd do.

One of the bikers looked up as you approached.

"Whatcha want, girlie?"

"Oh, I was wondering what the pickpocket who came in here was up to," she said.  "I'd feel bad forcing my way in, though.  You guys don't look strong or important enough for what I can do."

"I don't like they yer talkin' to my buddy here," the other one said as he stood up and walked towards you. "you'd better apologize."

"...Well, I apologize if that was too forceful," said Victoria.  "But threatening me is really pointless.  This sort of thing isn't what I generally do, but I'm afraid that I can't choose to simply ignore this kind of activity."

You notice one of the bikers take what looks like  blackjack from his pocket and prepare to swing.

(OOC: Since they're just thugs, I'll let you take the first action.)

Victoria simply reached out and took the blackjack away from the man with blinding speed.

"I don't want to hurt any of you," she said.  "Please don't make me."

OOC:  31 on an All-Out Disarm.

"Screw it, let's get outta here," one of the biker's said as they both fled.

Victoria went to see what was beyond the door.

It seemed to be the back of some club. There was the sound of very loud techno music playing and two doors. One that surely leads to the club in front of you and and another down a flight of stairs to your right.

The club was probably not that interesting.  She went for the other door.

The door was locked.

Well...

No, she couldn't go just breaking down doors for no reason.  She knocked, instead.

You can hear some muffled voices from downstairs.

Well... that would do as an excuse.  Someone might be in trouble.

She opened the door, trying to not make it too obvious that she was, in fact, breaking it open with her vast strength.

"I told you, hit wealthier targets. This guy had fifty bucks and maxed out cards!" an angry male voice said.

"Excuse me," said Victoria, walking in.  "Normally, this kind of petty crime is really beneath my notice, but under the circumstances..."

She scanned the area as well as looking around.  Who was in charge?  Who else was here?

There were three large bikers and several children that looked to be in the twelve to fourteen range in a large open basement.

"You don't get to exploit children," said Victoria.  "That's the rule here.  If you were stealing on your own, I might not bother, but I have to draw the line at exploiting children.  Let me strongly suggest that you give up now."

She rose about a foot into the air to make the point.  Hurting ordinary humans wasn't really something that she wanted to do.

"It's her!" one of the bikers said.

"Heh. This is gonna be fun," another one said, an aura of energy appearing around his hands.

"...Ah," said Singularity.  The threat was clear enough.  She opened up with a microwave beam at the one with the glowing hands.  Not her strongest attack, but better to work up to that, since these were humans, and humans could be tragically fragile.
