Normally when somebody's on electrical, power lines, they don't stay up there for long. They're lucky to get off of them and remain in tact

Jinx was on her way back to her hideout, and for once, she had actually been behaving. No robbery, no destruction, nothing. However, some cops had decided to give her a hard time.
"Hold it right there, you!" one of them yelled, leaving his car to approach her.
Now what? "Is there a problem?" asked Jinx, her voice flat.
"You need to come with us. You're wanted for robbing Meltzer's jewelers and a dozen other jewelry stores, banks, departments sto- HEY!" the cop decided to radio for backup to follow her, and his partner tried to chase after her. She made her way up one of the electric poles, and the cop fell on his ass as soon as he tried to keep up with her.
She stepped onto the wires, thankful for wearing her platforms today; the thick rubber-like material would keep her feet from frying. She darted down the electric lines with the grace and balance of a professional performer. But of course, she used to be one.
Lightning didn't notice anything going on at first. When he felt a different weight on the wires, he glanced up -- and saw a familiar, pink haired monster he disliked so much. Knowing her, she probably just got done robbing some place and didn't want to get caught.
Not like he really cared. He enjoyed fighting monsters and bigger criminals in the city rather than stopping stupid bank and jewelry store robbers like her. But since it was Jinx, and since she insulted him the last time they met up, he could make an exception.
He scowled a little bit, and put his hands on his hips. "You."
She stopped with ease, balancing on the wires as easily as most people stand on solid ground. She looked at his feet first, sort of curious. Well, his name was Lightning, so it sort of made sense that the electric current wouldn't bother him.
"Oh. Crap." She cocked her head over her shoulder, hearing sirens not too far off. "Let's make this easy, shall we?" She stepped a little closer, hands out, as if to say 'no funny buisness.' "I'm just going to hop on this wire over here," she stepped over to the wire next to the one they were standing on, "and just be on my way. Aaand you.. keep doing whatever you're doing up here."
Chances of him agreeing? Not very good, but it was worth a shot.
The loud, shrill voice of a tall, well-dressed, blue-skinned man in a top hat suddenly rang out, followed by him running past the power lines that Lightning happened to be practicing on.
But that wasn't the bizzare part.
That would have to be the bounding horde of gigantic white rabbits, with saber-like incisors, chasing after him.
