Two Shadow Widows were sent to James Smith's apartment to gather any information and bug his devices.
Cassie was dressed in her Shadow Widow uniform for stealth, she was the extractor of information from James appartment. Oksanya, who had met James the day before and placed a tracking device on him, was dressed in a short skirt, knee high boots and a bustier, she was dressed to kill if needed, though she tried to seduce and befriend James instead.
Both Shadow Widows were no experts, they were only a few months into their Arachnos service. So mistakes were made such as when Cassie knocked over a cup, which alerted James to someone else being in his apartment while in the bedroom with Oksanya. While Oksanya tried to do her part, she came off far too strong and James was not falling for her ruse.
Cassie suggested they kill James before they left but Oksanya wanted him to live. Perhaps she had plans for him later, perhaps she wasn't that cold blooded. The two shadow widows finished their mission and left the apartment. Upon returning to the base, would they find enough information about heroes that James had interviewed in the past? Would their bugs they planted all over James apartment lead them to more information?
Or, would James turn to heroes himself and turn the tables on the Shadow Widows?
Arachnos was getting stretched thin by the growing number of enemies. There were only so many expert Night Widows and Blood Widows to go around, so a new division of Arachnos was created called the Shadow Widows. A large recruitment program to lure hopeful women with false promises. What the women got instead was re-education training and long hours to fill the petty jobs for Arachnos. Make no mistake however, the Shadow Widows were deadly in the right situations.
