plot two

Active underworld:
since there are now active Heroes in this city (rather then just passive ones) and now the police are working with them. The underworld is shifting, everything is more risky now and so the bosses start to take notice.
This starts when several shipments and dealers are taken out. The bosses put out the word that anyone who sands a message to the YHA will be rewarded. They're just kids and at first they didn't merit much attention, but now they've proven to be a pain and need to be taken care of. Adam gets a lot of undercover work during this time. The Capes and masks are refined and the badges are invented. Adam and Dylan clash a bit because he's always thinking action and She's always thinking about the process and evidence and such. Ben begins to act as the negotiator/mediator. At first Criss doesn't talk to her much but then she and Dylan end up working a case together. Dylan asks Criss not to tell the others and in the future they continue to work as a team. Without the knowledge of the rest of the team.
During this time the basics of the relationships within the team are defined.
Adam is the hotheaded action oriented leader who takes the rest of the team for granted.
Ben runs around trying to make sure everyone's happy. He's also the only one who is concerned with his family, and there's a subplot during which he tries to hide it from his
Criss at this point is the shy one she tends to hesitate a lot since none of the others need to be taken care of. She has a crush on Adam at this point but he never seems to notice.
Dylan is a bit of a know it all. And within her sphere of influence she does know a lot. Adam manages to get her out of her comfort zone a few times and Ben shows her a less cynical POV.
