Seriously, it's like she's trying to make Deus look good in comparison...
I dunno, it's kind of understandable if we assume Sciona is the competent hyper-planner this arc has made her out to be.

She gathered a team of like-minded monsters who all wanted to loot the vault, as well as a ridiculously-bigoted anti-monster human, all of whom were also vital to entering the vault and getting what she wanted and whom she at least had contingencies for betraying, while she was also planning to exterminate the monster council to make sure everybody would be too panicked to go make sure the vault was still locked up tight, giving her time to use the things she got her hands on. The plan has to have been very long and complex, and from what we've seen it had every right to succeed at every step but for some giant coincidences that screwed her over: her ambush of the council was defeated because one of the people in the council meeting was 1) kicked out of the meeting, 2) found their way into a secret room that Sciona's minions wouldn't see her in, 3) that the person hiding could also see magic through walls and was genre savvy enough to know what she was seeing was a problem, and 4) had Superwoman on speed-dial (who happens to be in the next room). The ambush ends up killing none of the council when by all rights it should've decimated them.

But the rest of the plan is still solid, it just means she needs to work even faster on the "break into the vault" part. Maybe the betrayal of her comrades near the end was only a contingency for if the ambush failed and the vault would get investigated, and she needed to eliminate all witnesses as part of covering her tracks. But the breaking into the super-vault part of the plan goes off without a hitch, and she manages to get one of the things she came for...and then this douche steps around the corner with a ****ing shopping cart. This dude she wasn't even aware of, with a superhuman bodyguard, who has previously hired one of the dudes she hand-picked for this team, and suddenly the possibility of all those earlier coincidences not being quite as coincidental starts lining up. She isn't sure who she can trust, she isn't sure what they're capable of, and she's apparently so caught off-guard that she straight-up forgot some of the stuff she's spent months planning to steal.

That's not the kind of thing the master planner types tend to forget. Generally the "what you're hear to steal" list is burned into your brain about halfway through the months-long planning of the heist, you would think. Maybe she assumes she forgot maybe, and goes to confront him about it since he's almost certainly got it. When she gets there, he smugly replies "oh, did you forget something important? I tend to have that effect sometimes", and suddenly it occurs to you that maybe the hyper-successful superhuman-employing CEO might have powers of his own...and might have ****ed with your memory. That's the kind of thing that pisses people right off.

Even if there's been no mind-****ery, though, everything that could've gone wrong with this plan has gone wrong, and it's entirely possible she thinks she just got out-planned by this smug ****ing *******, and she wants to punch his face in...and he probably doesn't have powers, so that'll get him out of her hair.
