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.

"You dare to insult my hon-air?" Adrienne drew herself up to her full height, putting a hand to her chest.

Kelly eyes where Adrienne's hand went, and shrugs. "Those are nice, sure. Almost nice enough to forget that you're a twit with no professionalism."

"I," she said, somehow managing to keep her composure, "am a Batroc. I am not twit!"

Adrienne's features twisted up in rage and she took a step back, before launching into a jump kick.

"Have at you, mademoiselle!"

If all else was fair, Adrienne would win. Kelly is no slouch - in fact, highly trained in a variety of martial arts, but her training also went into her guns, hand to hand weapons, demolitions and a handful of other things. Adrienne is more focused, and has one of the finest in the world as her trainer.

That's if all else was fair. Which its not.

Kelly not only has the enhanced reflexes, which might normally help even things out - but the whole baiting-to-predictable-anger-responses runs as much in her blood as savate in her opponent's. She knew it was coming. Jump kicks also leave one fairly open - hit lick a truck, if they hit, but leave one open.

As such, she dodges by about a whisker, if that. Under different circumstances, or if she was a different person, she might even learn some respect for an opponent who does exactly what she was expecting, and still almost hits with a jump kick... but its Kelly.

So instead, she tries to take advantage of all that openness to duck, roll, and come up swinging a hand... not to injure, but to give Adrienne the best spank she can.

She figures it'll be unexpected - and how many chances is she really going to get at this.

"Anyone ever tell you you're adorable when you're angry... even from behind?"

"...is she flirting with her, or is she taking vengeance?" Jack inquires, finally rejoining the group, fazed from the plummet, but not harmed.

"I still totally need to take revenge on her for humiliating and beating up my best friend. And ruining my apology gift to him.

And the whole stealing thing. That too."

The dodging, that was always a possibility. The slap on her rear, however...

"Zut alors!" Adrienne shouted. "You are... flirting?"

Kelly grins. "Well, let's see here, you stole from us, attacked a bunch of superhumans in their home, failed to do the research to know who you were working for, and then, best of all, blamed the fanatical evil organization for your own failure to do the basic research that should come with mercenary work...

BUT, you have a great pair of hon'airs. So, you know... yeah, tits win."

And Manny will just gape for a moment.

"This...this...," He tries to find words. "...this." He gives up.

"Wait!" Adrienne said. "Wait, s'il vous plaƮt."

She held up a hand. "I have wronged you all, and shamed myself. Hon-air demands I make amends."

Martin just stares at Jack. Part baffled, part sheer confusion, and part 'I'm not sure if he's crazy or just a different sort of off in the head'. This was a perfect example of why Martin found Kelly crazy but Jack would always be Baffling to him. Like many of Kelly's comments, the less savoury implications go mostly over his head. It made it easier to put things down to general craziness and just appreciate the fact that she liked explosions too.

Jack on the other hand he understood. Both the individual words and the meaning and intent behind the phrase. But the logic behind them was so foreign to him that it messed with his head even more. He couldn't quite put it down to insanity like Kelly, which left him at a loss. How on this and many other dimensions did he get Best Friend?! He had stolen His Hat.

Clearly he was missing something huge. Because poor Martin can only stare even more.

Advanced Magical Rune Theory studying made more sense than this.

Manny, trying to keep this on some level of sanity, turned to Anya. "What do you think, jefa?"

Martin gingerly rubbed his bloodied nose. "I won't touch her," he promised.

What a silly thing, of course he wouldn't touch her. He didn't touch anyone. Besides, didn't need to touch her to win.
