[IC] Devious Plots and Evil Minds {Private}

[RedBalloon]

Viper pulled up her arm just quick to block her elbow but she didn't have enough time to block the her fists. But her fists never reached their target as she felt Agent being thrown from on top of her. Taking her opportunity, she quickly jumped to her feet and observe Tiger and Agent. She was surprised, to say the least, at the hesitation Agent showed by Tiger's words.
Trick, somehow, appeared behind the villain. He had a knack, or rather gift, of appearing out of nowhere at the perfect time. He reached up and grabbed her shoulder. Spinning her around, he pinned her against the edge of the building with her leaning like she was going to fall and only staying putting by him holding the back of her collar. If Agent tried to escape, she would fall. If he let go, she was going to fall. It was a sort of lose, lose situation for her.

[1Hawkeyes]

"Do you think I'm scared? I won't die, and when I don't die I'll just keep coming back and coming back, like every other villain," Agent shouted before noticing it was Trick. This was the man who had so quickly offered her money when she was in need. Agent unhooked the nylon bag from her belt and tossed it onto the roof, yelling, "Catch!" She weighed her options. Either way she would fall, but she had a grappling hook in her belt so she wasn't concerned about dying. "Look, I give up!" She took off her whole belt, something she rarely did. "Take it! I surrender!" She figured this was the least she could do in return for the man.

Tiger caught the bag of goods and checked inside for a trap. It was all normal valuables. When he heard Agent's surrender he was shocked. He never heard her give up before. "I don't believe it," Tiger said, "She's right, she'll just keep coming back and coming back. Drop her."

"Go ahead and drop me! I won't die! But I'm surrendering!"

"She'll just escape from prison again!"

Agent didn't argue to this, and waited anxiously for a drop.

[RedBalloon]

Trick didn't move, not even twitched, when she threw over the drop and surrendered. He seemed frozen but he was just playing out ever possibility that he could think of that would play out from this situation. "I don't exactly give chances for people," he muttered. "But I feel you are redeemable." He pulled her back onto the roof but kept his grip on her. "Please, do not make me regret this," he hissed, staring at her.
Despite her trust in Trick, Viper didn't totally agree with his decision to spare her. She had a hand on her hip and one behind her back. The one behind her back was resting on the handle of a concealed pistol. Any move Agent made that she didn't like and she was going to shoot. Especially any meaning to harm Trick, then she was going for the kill.

[1Hawkeyes]

Agent didn't say anything else when she was pulled up off the ledge. She slowly turned around and put her hands behind her head, fingers interlaced. It was true, she was going to escape from prison, but not to do bad things.

"I can't believe it," Tiger said and picked up her utility belt. He knew it was to be taken to the police, but he studied over it. It was light, he couldn't believe so many gadgets could fit in something that felt less than a pound. "You and Trick want to confiscate this? It might be better than the police taking it," he offered and held the belt towards Viper. He didn't believe the surrender and was on his toes. If she tried anything, he would be ready.

[RedBalloon]

Viper looked towards the belt, glanced back at Ace, then took the belt with the hand on her hip. Her fingers curled around the handle, a finger brushing the trigger. "Você tem certeza disso?" She asked, a frown creasing her pretty features.
Trick turned his head slightly to look at his partner from the corner of his eye. "I'm offended you doubt my decisions," he snapped in an annoyed tone. He turned back to Agent. "Stay still." Without anyone else's opinion,he suddenly picked Agent up and hoped over the ledge of the building. Within a few seconds, they were on the ground, and surrounded by policemen and civilians. Somehow, some way, he had gotten handcuffs on Agent. "I wouldn't suggest attempting to escape the cuffs, not even Viper can get out of them," he muttered to Agent. One of the policemen came up, took the key from Trick's hand then began guiding her towards the car.

[1Hawkeyes]

Agent didn't make any moves. She listened to Trick's words and obeyed. On the ground, she was surrounded by police all pointing weapons at her. Getting shot wasn't on her to-do list, so she obeyed every command they had. She smirked slightly when they forced her into the car. She didn't have to worry about the cuffs, the cops would replace Trick's cuffs later out of strict protocol. Once that happened she could snap the cuffs and leave whenever she pleased. Even if they put her in a chair she could get out.

Tiger watched Trick hop down with Agent. "No, this isn't real, something must've happened. Did Trick switch sides?" he knew this wasn't the case, but he still had trouble believing it. "You know what, it doesn't matter, we'll see how this folds out."

[RedBalloon]

Viper snapped her eyes towards Tiger at his question. She didn't retort though. She pulled out the gun she had her hand wrapped around to check the cartage. She had a sneaking suspicion that it wasn't loaded. Surely enough, she was right. "B*stard," the snake woman cursed under her breath. She roughly shoved the gun back onto the holster then turned towards the ledge. "I'm going, see you later," she said to Tiger. Then she left.
Trick just silently watched as Agent was taken. He crossed his arms before just spinning on his foot to leave the scene. He wasn't needed anymore.

It was almost ten at night and the Snake Bite was booming with life. People of different types were dancing, talking, eating, drinking, etc. Lacy was perched in her usual seat at the bar in a very short, very tight dress with a black mamba draped around her shoulders. She was conversing with one of her usual customers who was a young man that owned the local bakery in her area. Ace worked as a server and occasional pianoist at the club. He wore a nice vest with the white collared shirt and bowtie and a pair of nice slacks, thought he had his fancy, sleek and black prosthetics on instead of his usual green and red ones. The ginger boy was milling around with a serving tray with either full drinks or empty ones. Loud music radiated throughout the building that matched the bright, pulsing lights near the dance floor.

[1Hawkeyes]

Helena entered the bar. The windows she broke were all replaced and new. She went to the bar and waited for the owner's attention. She had caught with the owner before, though as Agent, and figured Lacy was Viper since they both fought similarly. Helena, however wouldn't bring this up. When she had Lacy's attention, she put five hundred dollars on the table, "I'm not here for drinks, I'm here to apologize." She rehearsed this over and over in her head, but it came out a lot differently. "I don't think I have a lot of time, but I was the one who destroyed your bar, as Agent. I know this isn't enough to cover the damages, but it's all I have. Don't worry, I didn't steal it," she added in case there was any suspicion. "You can call the police right now, but they're hunting for Agent, not Helena. Agent is gone." She ran her fingers through her dark brown hair and sighed, "I would appreciate it if you didn't tell the world who I am. I'm going to turn my life around. I hurt a lot of people I shouldn't have." Sirens blared by the bar and she cringed a bit.

[RedBalloon]

Lacy had finished talking to the baker then turned, only to see Helena come up to her. Her dark eyebrows rose as the money was placed on the counter. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out, so she continued to listen to her. Once Helena was finished speaking, she said, "The money is appreciated...and I won't tell anyone." She took the money without saying anything for a moment. "I wish you luck." She had no spite against her (other than slight bitterness for breaking the window) especially since she herself had done a lot worse. "But if you want to turn your life around, I suggest finding a job," she told her, looking back up at her and smiled. "It helps with the whole money issue."

[1Hawkeyes]

Helena raised her eyebrows at Lacy's comment about a job. "W-who said I needed money?" Helena asked. "I do have a job," she said and flashed her contruction authority badge, "I have one, it just doesn't pay enough. You know?"

[RedBalloon]

Lacy laughed, nodding in agreement. "Oh, trust me I get it," she said. "It took me some time to get this place to be mine." She suddenly perked up as she thought of something. "Oh! If you do need some extra cash, you are quite pretty," she chuckled, winking at her. She didn't need to say anything else for the context to be clear. And she was genuine about it, seeing as she used to work in such services for a while (and still occasionally indulged in it).

[1Hawkeyes]

Helena laughed heartily at Lacy's suggestion. "Thanks, I've done things like that already, it'll take a lot to make me go back." She thought about how strange her sentence was for a moment. She wouldn't do those kind of things anymore, but she was willing to steal and hurt people? Helena shook her head at herself. "I'll be seeing you around," Helena said with a smile and turned towards the door. She was still worried about the cops, yes, but it felt good to be doing nice things. I guess I'm not eating tonight, though.

[RedBalloon]

Lacy gave a little wave as Helena walked away before turning towards another customer. All the while the two were talking, Ace had left the room to go to back room. Now Trick was out and about, and casually walking around. The only commotion he could hear on the police scanners were petty crimes that he wasn't needed for. Besides, he had something he wanted to do in mind.
As Helena passed one of the alleyways close to the club, Trick cleared his throat to get her attention. "That was quite a lot of money you have miss Riberio," he stated, grinning underneath his mask. "What was the occasion?"

[1Hawkeyes]

Helena instinctively put her fists up when she heard a noise from the alleyway, but quickly relaxed when she recognized Trick. "I broke her window," Helena admitted, "when I fought in her bar. And I broke tables and glasses. I know it costs more to fix that, but it's a start." She leaned against a wall and sighed. "I guess I had some sort of grand idea the moment I stopped stealing and fighting all of my problems would be solved. I forgot how hard real life is," Helena chuckled crudely, shaking her head.

[RedBalloon]

Trick gave a sigh, crossing his arms. "Trust me, I know it's expensive," he grumbled. "You'd be surprised how many times I've broken something in there." He shook his head slightly, eyes watching a couple pass by. He turned his attention back towards Helena when she spoke about her thoughts. "Well, hey, ideas aren't a bad thing," he stated. "Life f*cking blows, that's just how it is. You just have to try to accept that fact and make the most of what you have." He snapped his fingers. "At least you have both of your legs." He chuckled at himself for the last bit.

[1Hawkeyes]

"You don't have...?" Helena began and looked down at the prosthetics. She chuckled a bit, "I guess that's why you're so quiet." Helena pushed herself off of the wall. "I need to get home, I'll see you later, Trick." With that, Helena was off through the streets. She could feel her stomach growl, but tried to think of something else. Perhaps her neighbor could spare a bit of good. She shook her head slowly. Willpower is stronger than any muscle.

About a week later, Tiger stood in the center of a park. Many parents had their children. He chuckled a bit. Everyone was happy. People glanced at him but overall didn't pay too much attention. It wasn't like he wasn't a known hero. The only difference today was his costume. Rather than a mostly orange costume, it was black with orange stripes. "They don't know what's coming." He laughed and ran to the playing equipment. The claws on his gloves were slightly longer and sharper now. Kids climbed up ropes to huge pirate ships. Tiger chuckled and climbed his way to the top. People smiled at the right of him, despite his new costume, and the kids were delighted. Some of the younger ones even called out, "Kitty!" He chuckled and cut the rope, letting about six kids fall on each other.

[RedBalloon]

Ace was leaning against a tree with a notebook of his homework on his lap. He had decided that since it was a nice day outside that he would do some of his at the park. The shade of the tree was just right that he didn't have to worry about his pale skin becoming burnt. He glanced up, adjusting his glasses, only to see Tiger with a new costume climbing the pirate ship ropes. He raised an eyebrow, somewhat confused as to why he was out. Stuffing his notebook and pencil into his bag, he stood up and brushed himself off. Calmly, he walked over to playground to get a better look at what Tiger was doing.

[1Hawkeyes]

Tiger chuckled as the kids fell. "I wonder how many of you are brats to your parents." About ten parents stood and rushed to help the children. Immediately phones were out recording and calling 911. Children started running to their parents, but some people weren't even aware of what was going on. On a loose bridge that connected two platforms, Tiger cut the chains, letting about three more kids fall. On the monkey bars, Tiger shoved kids, hard, sending them flying about ten feet.

Helena was at the panadería, picking up a few pieces of break. "Adonde vas?" the old man asked.

"Oh, no sé." The breaking news alert directed both of their attention to the television. It showed Tiger attacking children and parents at the park.

"Voy a ir al parqué," Helena muttered and said, "Gracias!" She was off with a small brown sack of bread, racing to the park.

[RedBalloon]

Ace's widened slightly as Tiger continued on his rampage. "What the h*ll is he doing?" He murmured. Turning quickly, he ran past all of the families over to the more densely wooded area of the park. No one was around, luckily, since all of the people were either rushing to the scene or out of the park. He hid himself then changed into his Trick attire. He hid his bag underneath his cape before flying out of the woods and over to Tiger. "What are you doing?" He called, obviously irritated by his tone.

[1Hawkeyes]

"What does it look like?" Tiger laughed and hopped on top of the monkey bars. "I'm having fun for once!" He flipped across the bars and landed on a slide. A kid slid down and Tiger shredded their jeans, giving them thin cuts.

Helena got to the park and pulled something out of her purse. It was a black capsule. "You'll be good this time," she murmured and pressed it. Her suit came out and she put it on. No one was paying attention to her since Tiger was the more shocking story. She raced to the scene and saw Tiger flipping. Her heart raced. Once the police got there they would be chasing her too.
