Penny dropped the folder lightly onto Matveev's desk, causing a silent puff of air to clear the other documents away from the manila folder.
"Everything in here?" the Russian mob boss asked, tilting his head in the universal gesture of curiosity. Penny dipped her head in a nod, listening as he grunted in acceptance and shuffled the papers out, carefully skimming through them. No other sounds echoed through the halls, so hopefully none of his thugs were waiting to ambush her. Matveev tossed her a wrapped bundle of dollars, eyeing her cautiously as the spy quickly flipped through to check the amount.
"Go ahead," he said, motioning to the plain wooden door.
Penny smiled under her mask, stashing her payment into her belt and ran- straight to the open window and diving out of it as crashes rang into Matveev's office, the result of multiple gangsters trying to get through the tiny door frame to catch Penny.
Never trust a murderer.
She would turn him into the police soon enough through anonymous tips. She did it with most of her employers, and also to the mobsters that she spied on while working for her employers. Being a small-time spy, not many people actually hired her, but she had quickly gained the reputation of: strictly non-lethal, non-thieving, and con-criminal in general. So she was only hired when the employers were desperate, confident of their ability to contain her afterwards, or unaware of her reputation. Although because of multiple reasons, Penny made a very good spy.
Although, maybe it should be noted that she's currently free-falling from a four-story apartment building.
Penny had about two seconds to act. Not enough time to pulled out a length of rope, and the building wasn't metal, so her gloves couldn't latch on if she turned on their magnetism. The rough landing it was.
She kicked against the wall, pushing towards the building opposite, hindering her fall by briefly grabbing a windowsill- not long enough for her body to get a jolt from the sudden stop, but long enough to release some of the momentum. Penny then kicked off that wall, doing a backwards somersault straight into the other wall right near the ground, stopping her back from hitting the wall by thrusting her hands behind her. This caused most of the remaining impact to coil into her arms, bouncing her off the wall and landing her on her knees in the alley, palms on the ground and head down for a moment*.
Hey, that wasn't too bad, Penny thought, quickly climbing back up the wall, knowing that the thugs would be coming down to the alley in a last attempt to grab her. After all, it looked like it hurt a lot more on TV. Though, maybe the guy had done it wrong. And he did do it from a lot higher building. Once on the roof of Matveev's apartment, Penny had swift travel from that section of Astro City to her house. Of course, she wasn't seen. What use was an invisibility belt when people could see you, after all? Hint: she turned it on soon after departing her most recent employer's residence.
Penny left her payment in her room and, grabbing the backpack she had filled earlier that day, left via window again.
Destination: Happy Harbor.

*I'm pretty sure this is possible
So, a few clarifying facts: Penny/Glance is 16 years old( a little small, and slender, for her age) and lives with her grandparents, her grandparents know what she does, and she is mute. She cannot speak. Just warning you, so in case I accidentally type that she said something out loud, alert me.
Also, shout-out to tysongirl123, to whom I submitted Glance as a character in n syoc: this Penny/Glance is slightly modified, if you read this, don't base the character of Glance off of my story, but rather the oc form I sent you.
Next chapter should take place in the episode: "welcome to happy harbor"
That's all, guys!
P.S. constructive reviews, please. Or you can just say that you love this story. Either way, I'm good.
