It was finally done. One of the heroes was now completely out of the fight, to the point where he couldn't even be a nuisance anymore. Another would likely be experiencing some technical failures now. The clone...she wasn't quite sure what was up with that thing, or how mechanical armor could get blisters, but it didn't seem to really know what it was doing to begin with, so Aurora saw no reason to pay any attention to it. She had one, so now it was just a matter of how to play the rest of this out. After a moment's thought, she began tearing into the building again, as well as gathering up any remaining jewelry she could see. Her cloud grew thicker, and followed her as she went downstairs.
She didn't intend to stay on the other floors for too long. She was just doing a quick pass to grab as much extra jewelry, and everything else that was convenient to take a chunk out of. Aurora was getting closer to the hero that fell through the hole, but she wasn't too worried. If he tried anything all she had to do was drop one of the large chunks of wall she had in her particle stash between him and her, and he'd likely hit it like a bug on a windshield. She just needed as many shiny objects as she could get in order to pull of the stunt she wanted.
After the slight detour, she started racing up the stairs to the roof. As she did this, the particles that had been following her settled on the floor of the scene of the battle rather than following her up the flights of stairs she took. Once she was on the roof, the particles began seeping out of every hole she created in the building, and began gathering around her at the top of the building. She dispersed the cloud, making it easier to see through, but letting it take up much more space. The sky shimmered in shades of red, purple and blue as her aurora began to stretch across the sky.
"Listen up peons!"
Aurora glanced down at the crowd that had gathered. She was pretty sure she saw a video camera or two down there, but it was hard to tell from this distance. It was times like this that she was glad she had a naturally loud voice and knew how to project. Once she had their attention, she began rematerializing the jewelry she stole, causing it to rain down on either side of her. There were also a few small glass shards included in the rain, mostly to make it look like she got more than she did. They were shiny enough that they could probably pass for rings from this distance. Before any of her metal rain hit the ground, she turned it back into particles and returned it to the aurora to begin the process again. She could keep this up for as long as she wanted to talk, creating an endless rain of finery. During all this, she had her particles swirl. Not only did it create interesting light patterns in her aurora, but it also kept her tench coat billowing as though there were a strong wind for extra dramatic effect.
"Let this be a warning to any of you that thinks of us as freaks of nature or sub-human! I, Aurora Disicio, will find you, and there is nothing that can protect you!"
The rain of jewelry suddenly stopped, and piece by piece each piece returned to the cloud. As she spoke the last sentence, she began tearing chunks of of the nearby buildings and the road itself, each chunk about as big as she was. She began scattering these chunks, letting them land on the road and nearby buildings, demonstrating just how quickly she could dismantle even the toughest of buildings.
"As for those of you hiding powers...Stop allowing these weaklings control you! They can't do anything to stop you in the end!"
Aurora took a few more chunks out of some of the nearby buildings. The roof she was standing on lurched, as though that building might collapse if she did too much more. With a flick of her hands, she sent her aurora over the crowd, the particles swirling around like an angry tidal wave. Several chunks of building rematerialized over the crowd and began to fall. All she could do was smirk as they started to scatter. She wouldn't actually let anything happen to them, but it was always satisfying to see them wet themselves. She waited until the last minute, right before the chunks would start hitting the taller people in the crowd before turning them back into particles and allowing them to rejoin the aurora.
"They live and die at our discretion. They only have anything because we allow them to. If we all decided to do something about it, there wouldn't be anything they could do! Even the turncoats that would defend them can't do anything against those that actually have the will to fight!"
With that, she leaped of the edge of the roof, removing a few more chunks so that the top floor would cave in on itself. It shouldn't affect anyone that didn't try to follow her onto the roof, she was careful to make sure that the main floor where the fight took place, and the one below it would stay standing. And just like when she arrived, she started spawning things under her feet to jump on so she could stay in the air as she made her escape. This time though, she didn't turn her makeshift footholds back into particles, instead letting them litter the street and buildings below her.

Grabbin all that extra notoriety! If this doesn't get her famous nothing will.
