Description
Savage, Daddy's Little Girl
FBI Agent Kassidy Sage was introduced as the best record for finding serial killers. She was shown a video where two agents begin to interrogate Vandal Savage, but he managed to escape his cuffs and overcome the two agents, killing them. Sage traveled to Belle Reve, where the facility was on lockdown while searching for an escaped convict. Sage was brought in to see Vandal Savage, who is also her father. She tried to remain professional while he tried to establish a relationship. She explained the serial killer was following his killings as a copy-cat killer. With another victim kidnapped and time being short, she sought his assistance. He agreed, on the condition that he be allowed to visit the scenes. His motives could not be understood by a mere copy-cat and he wanted to see the details to get a better understanding was of the differences. The escaped convict had not actually escaped, and was hiding in the ceiling above. "Red Death," as he liked to be called, attacked Agent Sage and she defended with a gun, though not to the degree she wanted, with his electrical powers. She threw coffee on him while charged, and then pumped the gun into his head. Savage re-stated his offer about needing to be free to see the crime scenes to assist.
