Live a life less ordinary
Big Nick's was one of Tim's favorite places for a burger and some beer. Sometimes he got pizza with the works instead. Tonight was a burger day with a glass of Guinness. It was on the late side of the night, but that was one of the great things about Big Nick's. It was open late to satisfy beer and burger cravings.

He sat in a booth and drank his beer while he fooled around on his computer tablet. His burger would be coming soon.

Life had been pretty busy for Etoile these day. Being part of the X-Men kept her on her toes and going to University as well proved to be challenging.

She decided to make a stop at Big Nick's for a quick bite to eat. She lugs in her bag big full of books from the library, into Big Nick's...thank god she enough upper strength to haul around a heavy school bag.

She orders a burger and chocolate float, she moved towards one of the free tables waiting for her own order.

	The place was relatively empty and it was the perfect time of the day. An armed man wearing a ski mask entered and pointed the weapon directly at the man standing near the register. "All of it! Now!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim stopped in mid-drink and put his glass back down on the table. Really? A robbery now? He very slowly pulled a small device from his pocket. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She jumped a little when she heard the sudden yell out. Great, a robbery. Today she thought her day would go normal...nothing would happen. Dead wrong.

Etoile sighed out a heavy sigh. She let out a strong firm exhale, repaired for whatever is going to happen next.

She started to fuse a plan together to bring this man down without harming anyone else in the establishment.

	"Hurry up!" the would be robber said and waved the gun at the guy at the register. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim looked around at the other people in the place before making any move. He didn't want to do anything rash and get someone hurt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Good thing she brought her Bo with her. She slowly pulled out of her bag (the beauty of having a two piece Bo staff).

She had to do something before he did anything else. She immediately goes into spy mode (aka extreme stealth mode). She moved slowly in a perfect crouched position, making sure to remain out of the guys view. During this time, she had reached Dugan's table, she made a 'shh' motion up to him.

	Tim flashed her the small weapon looking device he had in his hand. He would have shown her his SHIELD ID, but it would have taken too much movement to get his wallet out of his back pocket. "Together," he mouthed the word. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Etoile's brows knit together when she noticed the small weapon. She guessed he was either a cop or something else. Whomever he was, she couldn't deny an extra hand to take down this guy. Etoile nods her head when he mouthed the words "Together," (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim put his left hand on the table and put up one finger. Then another. Finally a third. He took aim with the weapon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The robber sensed something was wrong and turned around just as Tim and Etoile were making their move. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-01-09 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	Etoile waited for Tim to make his move. With quick motion she slides across the floor, trying to make a connection with the robber by bringing him down with her legs. She wouldn't resort to her power, basic combat maneuvers would do just fine, at least she hoped they would be. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim aimed the small device at the guy and pressed a button. A small sphere of energy flew out of the device and hit the robber. He started convulsing from the energy and the shock. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The robber wasn't expecting an attack. The girl slid across the floor and hit his legs. His legs buckled and then the ball of energy hit him. He started convulsing from the shocks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Etoile quickly averted back once the ball of energy hit him. She was rather surprised by this said 'ball of energy'. This man wasn't any ordinary man, that is for sure.

Etoile slowly stood up, glancing around to everyone present in the restaurant."It's okay, everyone. Just remain where you are and stay calm." Etoile said reassuringly. She glanced over to Tim."Nice shooting."

	"Thanks," he said. "That's the first time I've ever heard that." Now he did pull out his wallet and showed his ID to the woman and to the staff. "Call the police," he ordered the guy at the register. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Welcome.." She nods her head, offering a friendly smile."Really? That's hard to believe...you were brilliant." She offered another smile. Etoile leans over to glance at this ID. SHIELD, Tim Dugan.

She knew about SHIELD fully. She couldn't let off about her previous life as a spy. She'd have to pretend on barely knowing of the organization."I've heard of it...I don't have an ID. I'm with the X-Men...Professor Xavier's school, heard of it?"

	shield_legacy 2013-01-10 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm a labrat," he said. "My weapon skills lay in making them, not using them." He smiled. "I've heard of Xavier's." Uncle Nick said it was a thorn in his side, but Tim couldn't repeat that to anyone who hadn't hear him say it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Either way, he showed some decent skill."Well, either way you did great." She nods her head, and smiles. "Who hasn't really, right? It's a good place..we have one purpose in mind. Saving the world and a bunch of fancy words I'd rather not repeat." She laughed lightly. "So, I'm guessing you don't lead a very normal ordinary life either, eh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-01-14 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	Tim nodded. "I lead a life less ordinary. Though ordinary would be a nice change of pace. What about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-01-14 02:55 pm UTC (link)
	"You and me both...this is actually normal for me. I wish it wasn't, but it comes with the title of being part of the X-Men. I can't really complain.." She said, rubbing the back of her neck."It's what I know/do best. Being ordinary would be nice once in awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-01-14 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	"It would," he agreed. "How about when this is over, we sit and eat our food and pretend we're ordinary?" The police arrived and Tim showed his ID and explained what happened and gave his report. The police took the robber away and started to interview the other witnesses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-01-14 03:09 pm UTC (link)
	"You, my new found friend...are a genius. Let's do exactly that." She lightly pats his shoulder. Etoile stood by as Tim did his thing and nods her head to one of the police officers."Want to bet that something like this or worse might occur in like...an hour or so?" She said jokingly.

	"I actually am a genius, but I don't want to brag or anything," he joked. "Odds are we may actually get through a meal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Etoile blinked a bit...he's sharp and fast on his responses."Do I sense a little bit of sarcasm there?" She wiggles a finger at him, smiles lightly. Etoile wouldn't be surprised if this man was in fact a genius. If he created weapons like the one he used, he most likely is.

"Well, enjoy the rest of your food. Let's me nothing else happens.." She reaches to out knock on wood (table near by). Etoile waved a little at him and moved towards her table.
