A Girl, The Maffia And A Superhero Or Vigilante

I thought there could be a story about a girl, a journalist, being chased by the Maffia. At an early stage she would find out something fishy directly or indirectly involving the Maffia.

She would also feel under great pressure because her tenant has been asking here to move out of her kind of small apartment. She was aware she had rights and would defend them to the very end. Sadly a burglar broke in and stole a few apparently insignificant belongings and not much later the tenant grew really impatient and kicked her out of the apartment. For a weird reason some other belongings were missing while taking everything to the moving truck she hired for the job.

At that point she really wasn't a journalist, not a well known one at least, but she later learns all about what actually happened back in that building and somehow convinces a sort of insignificant editor to publish her story. The problem is that this is the moment when the Maffia starts stalking her anywhere.

As a plus in this story a maffia boss (Romolo Damiani) and a superhero could also share a love interest or a passion for anything, perhaps classic cars, I don't know. Well, if we keep it as some original world then instead of a superhero it could be a vigilante or some retired sniper, a former soldier that was discharged after any specific incident. These people, having different viewpoints about life, soon become enemies. The superhero or the vigilante meets the girl but regrets it because he pretended to stay in the shadows where he could work unseen by the authorities. I would like to state that this superhero or vigilante wouldn't be like Batman but more aggressive and doesn't care about shooting down his enemies.

Later on the journalist might also become either a supervillain or antihero depending on her connection with the superhero / vigilante at that moment and some supervillain she was tracing to write an article about him or her.

Just to get things straight I'll say that whenever I mentioned a superhero or supervillain it could also mean a common hero or villain in a world that doesn't have any relation to any comic book / fantasy story.
