[IC] Devious Plots and Evil Minds {Private}

[RedBalloon]

Trick frowned, hovering over to him. He shoved him, hard, off of the slid. "I'm going to have to ask to stop what you're doing or else," he growled. "You're hurting and scaring the people and that doesn't fly by me very well." He glanced over to the side for a moment to see Agent before returning his gaze back to Tiger.

[1Hawkeyes]

"I didn't ask," Tiger said, landing on both of his feet. They didn't call him Tiger for nothing- his reflexes and balance was phenomenal. "I think I'm going to join you," Tiger said once he saw Agent.

"Then you would stop," Agent said, " I'm not doing this anymore- I've changed."

"Oh yeah? You'll be back," Tiger laughed. He saw a group of kids screaming and raced over to them. He caught one and flung them hard by the arm. "Who wants to fly next?" he growled.

[RedBalloon]

Trick scoffed. He flew over and caught the kid, gently placing them on the ground. He snapped his eyes back towards Tiger. "Obviously, you do," he hissed. He flicked his wrist out and a queen of hearts card fluttered out and landed underneath Tiger's feet. The hearts on the card blinked then the ground just around him vibrated. Suddenly, he was floating up into the air at a fast pace. "Gravity alteration, best card I have," Trick chuckled, placing his hands on his hips as he watched Tiger float up. "Now. Tell me exactly why you're doing this?"

[1Hawkeyes]

"Does it really matter?" Tiger laughed, flipping in the antigravity. He detached each claw and launched them at a group of kids.

Agent reacted quickly and moved in front of the kids. The claws pierced her costume, but it was able to cut into her skin a bit. Her suit was lined with Kevlar, so bullets and claws were slightly less effective.

"Stop!" she heard a cop call and turned around to see several cops pointing their guns at her as well as at Tiger.

[RedBalloon]

Trick grumbled a few curses underneath his breath as he rubbed his eyes under his goggles. "Ok. Ok!" He called, looking up again. He walked over to where the edge of the altered Gravity was then took out his gun. He pointed it, one handed, at Tiger and pulled the trigger. A high dosage tranquilizer shot out and embedded itself into his neck. Once he was taken care of, Trick shut down the card and returned it to his deck. Then he turned to the cops and Agent. "I need to talk to you," he said, pointing towards Agent. "And you guys need to care of him." That part was addressed towards the cops. He walked over to Agent and just simply began dragging her away from the commotion.

[1Hawkeyes]

"I'll be back like everyone else," Tiger said before falling asleep by the tranquilizer.

Agent backed away from the cops. She knew she was a fugitive, but wasn't she going good? Couldn't they let it go? When Trick dragged her she got a little nervous. "Did I do something wrong?" she asked nervously.

[RedBalloon]

Trick let out a sigh. "No, you didn't do anything wrong," he muttered, releasing her hand when he thought they were a good distance away. "You did good." He had his back towards her. He took a deep breath in then spun around to face her. "I want you to convince me that you've changed, as you said," he told her. "Convince me and we'll see whether or not I turn you back to the cops."

[1Hawkeyes]

"Does this say anything?" Agent asked and showed him her stomach. There were ten claws all along her suit, one even had a bit of blood dripping from the fabric. "It's nothing bad, but it's all I really did in this fight." She didn't know the claws would barely pierce her skin, so her sacrifice was genuine, but she didn't know how to prove it.

[RedBalloon]

Trick crossed his arms and looked down at her stomach. He wanted to believe that she was trying to change but it was hard to tell. He liked to believe that anyone and everyone can change for the better of themselves. The trickster didn't say anything for a moment before sighing. "Alright," he said. "You better leave before the cops come over here, I'll deal with them."

[1Hawkeyes]

The time it took Trick to make his decision tore her apart. Yes she could go back to jail and escape, but she wasn't sure she would be able to escape again without being put on a hit list. "Thank you, Trick," Helena said and raced off. Her all black costume was extremely noticeable in the lush green of the park. When she was finally in an empty area, she changed out of her suit and took the brown sack out of her decoy utility belt. She took a piece of the sweet bread and began to eat, but all she could think was I need my utility belt.

[RedBalloon]

Trick watched her leave. He pushed his goggles into his forehead and rubbed his eyes. Looking around without his thick lenses, everything was extremely blurry and misshapened. "The things I do for people," he grumbled. He pulled his goggles back over his eyes. He did enjoy helping people because it made him feel less useless to the world. But the feeling only went so far. Taking a deep breath, he crossed his arms behind his head then walked back to where the cops and Tiger were.

[1Hawkeyes]

Helena wondered where she would go. As she told the old man, she was wondering a bit today. Her work was done, she had no more hours to work, nor would they give her more, and she didn't want to go home. If she went home she wouldn't use electricity to make the bill lower. Without electricity, she wouldn't have much to do besides read and think. The reading part was nice, but if she got to too much thinking, she might start going off the "Path of Good." So, Helena finally decided to go to the bar. It took her a little while to walk there, but she didn't mind since it would get her stronger in the long run. Besides, she had to talk to Lacy, well, Viper, about something.

[RedBalloon]

The bar currently wasn't open, the doors were locked and no one was inside. Lacy was busy with other business. In fact, she had just finished with her 'meeting' in her apartment that say above the Snake Bite. She opened the front of her apartment that was on the opposite side of the bar's entrance. A woman with long Ruby hair and pale, freckled skin left the apartment after handing Lacy some money. The snake woman was dressed in a silk robe that stopped above her knees that exposed a lot of her chest, between her breasts, and the top part of her abs before being tied off. "A pleasure doing business with you, gorgeous. See you later," Lacy said as the woman left.

[1Hawkeyes]

Helena peeked through the bar windows. It wasn't open. "Shoot, where would she be?" she questioned herself. When she saw the pale woman come from the back with a smile, Helena understood the situation. She followed the path the woman came from and went up the stairs. "Lacy?" Helena called. She hoped to talk in private rather than at the bar.

[RedBalloon]

Lacy was heading down the hall, away from the door when she heard her name. Turning on her heel, she padded back to the door and cracked it up. When she saw it was Helena, she swung the door open fully to smile at her. "Well hello there, sweetcheeks!" She chirped in greeting. "Do you need something?"

[1Hawkeyes]

Helena was slightly surprised by Lacy's extremely greeting, but considering what she just did, Helena wasn't surprised Lacy was so happy. "Hey, there's something I need to talk to you about. Would you mind if I came in? It's about... Agent."

[RedBalloon]

Lacy blinked at her before nodding. "Of course," she said, stepping to the side to let her in. Once she was inside and the door was closed, she raised an eyebrow at her. She led Helena down the hall and towards the living room. The interior design was tribal chic with traditional Brazilian décor. There were pictures of her, a woman that looked almost exactly like but older with a gray streak in her hair, and Ace on the walls or on some shelves. Lacy walked over to a bar that was set off to the side to pour herself a drink.

[1Hawkeyes]

Helena looked at the interior of Lacy's home and was frankly impressed. This woman was able to acquire such a lovely home after living lowly? Helena watched Lacy pour herself a drink and said, "Your home is really nice." She was trying to think of how to bring up Agent, but decided to get straight to the point. "I saw Tiger give you my belt the day I surrendered. If I'm to do any good, I'm going to need that belt back. I don't know if you heard or if you were... busy, at the time, but Tiger went rogue today. He started attacking kids at the park."

[RedBalloon]

Lacy finished making the drink then turned towards Helena with a glass with a bright blue liquid in her hand. "Thank you," she said in response to the compliment. She sipped her drink while she kept talking. So she knew she was Viper? Not surprising, considering it wasn't hard to figure out. "I did not know that, but I don't have it. Trick does." That was a lie, she still had it. But Lacy wasn't exactly the easiest to get to trust, neither was Trick but he saw the good in people better than she could.

[1Hawkeyes]

Helena let out a sigh of frustration. "If I would've known that I would've asked him earlier," she muttered, unaware of Lacy's lie. "Tiger hurt about two dozen kids, not including any of the parents. If I had my belt those numbers could've been lower. Tiger is in jail now, but who knows how long he'll stay there. I'm sure he'll be returning sooner or later."
