The Heist
Edge City was home to one of the few Wayne Enterprises technical depots in the American Northwest, and Damien knew that the Grand Design would need parts of the best quality for maximum output. The machine is nearly completed, but so much remained to be done. Tonight, he would kill two birds with one stone.

He would obtain the parts needed for the machine and test the loyalty of the League of Assassins' newest member. Lian Harper had made herself indispensable to him over the past week, but Damien was still wary of her. Morgaine still advocated murdering her (in her sleep was Morgaine's favorite suggestion), but Damien could not yet drop the hammer.

He hoped that Lian would prove up to tonight's task and handed her the binoculars so that she could see the their target from the top of the cliffs several miles above the facility. The pair of them, along with seven others, would rappel down the cliffside and into the valley to infiltrate the building.

"Once we have procured our items, we will exit the building and head for the chopper. It will be here on time. We will spare no civilians who stand in our way. Do you understand our mission, Lian?" Damien asks his Head of Security.

Lian had been keeping things strictly professional with Damien. No more private dinners, no more dancing in underground gardens, no more chocolate rum pie.

Though chocolate rum pie wouldn't be so hard to live without.

Still, she'd only met with him to discuss business matters. And while that was a lot, she made sure never to meet with him for longer than needed.

"Understood," Lian said, making sure that she had everything in order.

She seemed colder to him, more distant, and while it was somewhat annoying, it was also exciting. She seemed to go out of her way to spend the least time with him she could.

He was affecting her; he could tell.

"Excellent. We communicate with hand-signals from this point forward. We move in two minutes." Damien says. His raises a hand and repeats the message by gesture. As one, several shadows melt up from the rocks around them, checking and readying gear and zip lines.

Damien pulls on his black mask and checks his weapons, while admiring Lian's form in her own gear out of the corner of his eye.

	Lian nodded, pulling over her own mask, making sure that her hair wasn't going to be in her way. She was aware of Damien looking at her out of the corner of his eye. Actually, she might be doing a little looking of her own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damien has already set the lines. He motions to Lian to proceed him down. She will be the first person to enter and give the rest of his soldiers their directions. There are twelve people inside the facility tonight. There will be twelve less when they leave. Damien slinks about like shadow, waiting for Lian to give the signal for everyone to move down the cliff. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lian has had some experience in leading teams. The Titans, the Outsiders, so this shouldn't be much of a hassle for her.

And stealth? Well that comes almost like a second nature for her. A perk of having a former Bat-prodigy for a godfather.

Lian used her binoculars to see if there was anyone in the facility to see them coming. No one around the premise. No one watching through the windows. Lian doubled checked for security cameras, seeing two positioned right near the door. They wouldn't have to worry about those until they were ready to move.

Double-checking to make sure that no one would see them coming, Lian signaled for the group to move down the cliff, being the first to rappel down the cliffside.

	Damien follows her down, expertly following her movements down the cliff. He would let Lian lead until she either failed or succeeded. He hoped again that she would pass, because it would remove much of the suspicion that had begun to grow around her. Stealth is second nature to him as well as they move into position to take the facility. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When they got into position, Lian made a motion to the two security cameras near the door. They'd need to take them out quickly and quietly. She wanted to avoid them getting noticed as long as possible. She made a quick check for guards, and not spotting any in her line of vision. Still, she had her throwing knives at the ready.

	"Are you all right? Do you need anything to eat or drink? I can have it brought for you." Damien says, leaning in to kiss her again. He found the taste of her lips addictive, and he couldn't stop kissing her. "If you wish to sleep, you may. I will watch over you." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later That Evening... rightontarget 2010-09-14 01:37 am UTC (link)
	And Lian didn't mind that he couldn't stop kissing her. Not at all. "I'm fine. I don't break easily," she said with a smirk. "Though I wouldn't mind some more wine. And maybe some tiramisu. Which you've gotten me addicted too." "Maybe in a little while. I'm not tired yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later That Evening... headofthedemon 2010-09-14 01:41 am UTC (link)
	Damien smiles at her requests. "Wine and tiramisu coming up. I wasn't really sure how much you enjoyed it, but I'm glad you do. I'm sure that we have some readily made for you." Damien tells her. He pours her another glass of wine, and several minutes later, the tiramisu arrives. He brings the pie to her, in the bed. "I have never done this before." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's chocolate rum pie," Lian said with a grin, "I think something would be wrong with me if I DIDN'T enjoy it." Lian took a sip of her wine. "Never done what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't think I've ever met a woman who can resist chocolate, though I suspect that you could only love that pie more if it had bacon in it." Damien guesses. "I have never done this. Simply enjoyed the company of a woman in chambers for talking, and eating, and just...being. I like it." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Chocolate and bacon actually go very well together. I tried it, once. I was out nearly out of food and the grocery store was closed." Yes, she was serious. Lian took a bite of her pie. "There's a first time for everything, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damien's dreams are strangely peaceful when he does fall asleep. The image of Lian resting is soothing to him and he wakes early to watch her sleep. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Lian stirred next to him. She didn't want to wake up just yet. For all she knew, she could have dreamed the entire thing...and she didn't want to have dreamed it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
