Un voleur dans la nuit
It was, in her estimation, not exactly a difficult job, though the security system was more advanced than what she was usually used to. But Adrienne had spent a considerable amount of time staking the place out and watching the comings and goings of the people who lived there. More importantly, the plans provided by her employers, along with a few technological extras (she'd waived a portion of her fee in exchange for getting to keep them, in fact), should have made it easy enough.

More importantly, if she had done her work correctly, there was a slight gap in where the external security cameras covered. But you would have to be able to fly, practically, to hit the spot correctly.

Fly... or leap.

She took a step backwards and then ran forward across the roof, leaping at the last second. The strength in her legs was great and it carried her the distance, the suction cups she'd applied to her gloves letting her cling to the building's side. Small tools made short work of the window latch and the security system, and she was able to slip inside.

She looked around and quickly nodded to herself, moving with all stealth. The nice thing about most security systems was that when people were actually there, they tended to run at a much lower level. Perfect. And there was the lab. And someone had even left the door slightly ajar.

Almost too easy. Carefully and quietly, she began to creep inside.

Not all of the occupants of the Thunderbolts HQ had comings and goings that could be tracked. In fact, Martin had never actually used the front door. Ever. His card probably had access but he had no idea if it worked.

Martin yawns as he teleports into the HQ with his distinct blue flamed entrance. He'd been up late studying some magic at the Sanctum and Dr. Strange had even been there to help him practice some, which was why he was arriving so late. He takes off his hat to put aside and is about to find his bluetooth to do so too when he realizes he kind of fried it when he'd blown up at Jack the other day. Oops.

He should probably mention it to Anya, see if she could replace it for him. She was probably awake anyway. Putting his hat back on, Martin teleports down the the lab entrance and, seeing it slightly open, peeks in.

"Hello? Anya?"

	Adrienne's eyes widened slightly. This one, she did not recognize. And more importantly, she did not know there was a teleporter here! Her employers had mentioned nothing of the sort. His back was turned, however, and she could probably take him out with one blow if she did it correctly. She moved quickly and launched a kick at his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Just before she kicks, Martin leans forward a little to peak further into the lab, not seeing Anya anywhere. Instead of knocking him out, the kick hits him hard in the back of the head and sends him face-first to the floor. Sparks madly fly from his gloves as he tries, and fails, to catch himself. Once his hands hit the flooring, the leaking magic goes straight into it, turning a good section of the floor into some sort of goo that they were slowly sinking into.

"Ow! You hit me!" He turns to the intruder, clearly outraged, while trying to stop the bleeding from his nose by holding it to the crook of his arm. Nobody had ever actually physically hit him. Thrown across the room by spells yes, but kicked? Punched? Never.

	"What? How did you do zis?" she demanded, more loudly than she intended. "Who are you? You are not supposed to be here!" She strained her legs against the goo, trying to pull her feet out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not supposed to be here? You're not! Who are you supposed to be? We already had intruders! You're late! Should've come before." Didn't she get that the intruding party had passed? And he belonged here! He sinks deeper into the goo too and sends out a telepathic alarm. Intruder in front of the lab! She speaks funny and has terrible timing! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I may not be the first," she said, grinning, "but you should know zat I am ze best!" She wasn't sunk much, and a leap actually carried her just outside it. She'd be feeling the strain tomorrow, but it was worth it. "Do not worry, mon cheri," she said, blowing a kiss. "I shall not be long." Now where was... Ah. There. Perfect.

	Anya was heading back to the lab and thinking about the problem she was working on when Martin's telepathic warning came. She dropped the glass of water and ran for the lab. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny had been settled in for the night, just falling asleep when Martin's call came out. Manny yelled in surprise and fell with a loud thud to the floor. Quickly trying to compose himself, he manages to stand and heads out into the hall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack was on his way through the halls with something Very Important when the alert hit him. He starts running and bounding at full-speed, using the walls and ceiling liberally. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The sight they're greeted to outside the lab is a very unusual one. The team mage who left every battle without a scratch and looking exactly as he had entered it, unless a spell went wrong, was sitting on the floor, somewhat sunk in goo, hat knocked off, with a bleeding nose that had messed up his shirt sleeves, and overall looking very disheveled.

"She hit me," he repeated, still outraged. Who hit a sorcerer?!

	The Zero-Point cell was heavier than she expected, but light enough that she would not be completely encumbered by it, as she slipped it into her sack. "Oh, non," she said. "Ze cavalry, she is arriving!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A giant armored, brown ball comes rolling down the hall! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin sees the giant rolling armadillo man coming straight at him and jumps, immediately conjuring one of his magic discs under him to teleport him, and some of the good sticking to him, out of the way.

"You could have hit me!" Oh this was a terrible start to the day. He manages to stand up and extract himself from the remaining goo. Huffing in frustration he retrieves his hat, jams it on his head, and the blood and goo covered mage marches after his teammates.

The weird intruder was going down.

	"Oh, oui," she said. "I zink I am! For a Leap-Air is never caught when she can jump!" She jumped, hurling herself past Anya and towards the huge brown ball. At the last second, she threw her feet out and pushed off against it, firing herself down the hall like a missile. She hit the ground on her feet and was already running to the door.

	There is a crash as she rounds a corner, as someone who really is insistent on the whole 'I am not Spider-Man' thing is left really wishing he did have a Spider-sense. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya's suit reached her and the pieces came together and formed the armor. She took off after the intruder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Adrienne's kick off helps propel Manny into a wall, where he'll just unfurl unceremoniously, groaning as he tries to get to his feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-09-09 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Just when Martin has finally gotten his footing back, Adrienne sends Manny into the wall he's walking by. Martin dives out of the way in time, but only barely, and gets knocked off his feet, landing in a heap not far from his teammate, looking more battered now. More bad luck. Ugh.

	Adrienne was still running, but spared a quick glance behind her. "Zut alors! I am still being chased!" She hit the doors, still running. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack is sprawled out on the floor, an insulated cardboard box smashed against him. He looks at it in shock, then jumps up and runs after the intruder, shrieking in inexplicable rage. He leaves a trail of spattered ice cream and various pieces of chocolate in his wake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya flew after her. She aimed a hand and shot a small tracker at the woman. If she got away they could at least track her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny manages to negotiate his way up, but then sees Martin in a heap. "Martin! You okay!?" He notes the blood, snarls, and then charges in the direction the thief had went. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ze_leaper 2012-09-11 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	Adrienne did not notice the tracking device, but as she made her escape from the building, she performed a vertical leap as she feet hit pavement, snagging the ladder of the hovering helicopter with her outstretched hand. Her timing had been perfect, her escape arrived. She looked back and laughed as it pulled away. "Au revoir, Thun-dare Bolts!" (Reply to this)(Parent)
