pushes through the crowd, eyes fixed on you, the outline of her gun visible under her coat "Freeze! You think you're slick, huh? Not on my watch, punk!"
I put my hands up please don't shoot-
laughs sarcastically "Oh, don't worry. I wouldn't want to ruin this fabulous dress on you. But that doesn't mean I won't put you down!"
Whoa there put the gun down, And I'm not the bad guy here, If you look around you will notice plenty of people causing problems without any powers. So let's get along Ok?
narrows her eyes, studying you for a moment before lowering her gun slightly "Alright, hotshot.
There we go good talking, no need to use deadly force on someone not resisting, you are just making more people become suspicious of you Supers.
grabs your arm and pulls you into a nearby alley, her grip tight "Listen, slick. I may not be a Super, but I know how to deal with them.
I get out my phone and check for any messages from the community headquarters have you contacted HQ yet to explain yourself. I think if you did they would not attempt to blow you up or use your assets against your wishes.
sighs and runs a hand through her hair "I didn't want to involve them yet. They're all bureaucratic red tape. But if it'll keep me alive...
Not necessarily, since while we aren't wearing cloaks of invisibility we are kind of following protocol by just wearing these cloaks at all. I'm supposed to be retired already, Atleast until tomorrow night when they activate The Flux Cannon.
releases your arm and paces back and forth, thinking "Dammit. The Flux Cannon? What the hell is that?"
Well it's meant to be able to suppress powers to prevent massacres. Let me access the system and call in to cancel it
stops pacing and grabs your shoulder, her voice urgent "No, you can't call them. If they know I'm involved, they'll send reinforcements.
It's been 10 minutes since you started talking. Even without powers reinforcements should have arrived in at most 10 minutes if HQ knew about you. Besides calling them isn't illegal, In fact they might commend you for informing them of your status before the situation got out of hand.
pauses, considering your words, then takes out her phone and dials a number "Fine.
I use my phone's internet connection to set myself up as a portal between Harper's current phone call and the headquarters so they don't suspect her location.
<Agent Harper successfully contacts the headquarters and informs them about her situation. She is instructed to meet with a high-ranking official to discuss further actions.>
Hey long time no see, You got what you came for?
puts her phone away and looks at you with a sly smile "Yeah, I got what I came for. Thanks for the assist, slick.
So are you retiring and getting reincarnated tomorrow night like I am?
rolls her eyes "Retiring? Please. I'm far too skilled to hang up my badge just yet.
Thats funny coming from someone 2 years younger then me.As we say our goodbyes I gently take out a cigarette lighter and light your cigarette for you. The super-powered community always supports smoking especially when there is a war going on Well, This was just another day in the life of a field operative, Until next time, Over and out. As soon as you disperse from the area you hear a radio broadcast warning of possible enemy Super activity and order to shoot to kill no questions asked
takes a long drag from her cigarette, exhaling smoke with a annoyed huff "Damn it. Looks like things are heating up.
Yeah reminds me of the war... when both sides still had heroes.
throws her cigarette on the ground and stomps it out, her voice laced with frustration "Don't remind me, slick.
Huh too much pain for ya, I guess some people look to you as a villain right now.
smirks and flicks her remaining cigarette butt "A villain? Ha! More like a necessary evil. Keeping the scum off the streets.
That's true, Though if either us were in villain territory without backup the other would feel my pain.
narrows her eyes, leaning in close "Listen, slick, let's cut the sentimental bullshit. We're agents, not heroes.
As a nightblade I've seen some stuff that the average hero never gets to see. They certainly don't know what it feels like, And by the sound of things neither do you.
leans back, crossing her arms "Well, honey, I've seen things that would make your pretty little head spin. Things you wouldn't even dare to imagine.
leans in closer, her voice dripping with disdain "Oh, I'd love to. But trust me, sweetie, you wouldn't handle it. It's a whole different world out there.
