Why So Jaded?
Syndrome tried to take a calming breath as he continued to work the safe, inside was gold and jewels and other things he could care less about. But in the far corner, in an unassuming box was the nanochip to end all nanochips. It would give Syntech all the edge it would ever need on the market.
"I figured I would find you here," Invisigirl accused as she dropped her invisibility, she leaned her back against the wall next to the safe and folded her arms, watching him closely while putting on an air of amused disinterest.
"You shouldn't sneak up on people like that Invisigirl," Syndrome chastised as he stopped for a moment, seeing if she was going to stop him. In a decade she had gone from little girl to fully realized Super but she wasn't always walking in her parent's footsteps, in fact very few people even knew where she really stood on the Super/Villain line. Besides, she wasn't even supposed to be here, she was supposed to be half a world away. He would have to fire his trackers, they were completely useless now.
"Actually you technically sneaked up on me, I've been here the whole time, and that thing you do with your tongue when you're really concentrating is kinda cute," Invisigirl countered in dry sarcasm as she examined her gloves, looking for imperfections.
Syndrome took that as a sign that she wasn't going to stop him so he continued working the dial, trying to crack the safe.
"You know, I never thought you would ever be the kind of guy who would do his own dirty work," Invisigirl started as she looked at him, refolding her arms across her chest. "It sounds like you haven't tried to crack a safe in about 20 years, are you even trying to break it or will you keep twisting that thing until your fingers fall off?" Invisigirl teased.
"I don't suppose you know the combination?" Syndrome drawled, getting annoyed.
"Of course I do, the combination is your birthday, the creator is a big fan of yours, but I'm sure if you simply asked him for the nanochip, he would have given it to you rather than stealing it from him," Invisigirl answered.
"I didn't know your boyfriend was the sharing type," Syndrome quiped as he turned the dial with deft fingers, opening it now with ease. Invisigirl snorted a laugh and shook her head.
"Well at least my cover is intact," She alluded as she pushed off the wall and stretched a bit. "By the way it's the box on the left, not the right," She added as she began to walk away.
"Wait a minute, you're just going to let me get away with this?"
"Yeah, it's not my fault you broke in on my vacation when I'm supposed to be in..Barcelona? Madrid? Is that where your goons think I am? By the way, you need to get new ones, they don't blend in at all and their loyalty is flimsy at best, they report to HIM before they ever report to you." Invisigirl divulged as she continued to lazily walk away.
Syndrome narrowed his eyes at the contents of the safe, it would be something he would deal with later. "Wait, so he's not your boyfriend?" Syndrome inquired as he stowed the nanochip safely away and locked the safe up again before catching up to her and walking beside her for a bit.
Invisigirl gave him a side glance. "Not even close, he has a thing for plastic model types, uses them faster than Kleenex," Invisigirl answered flippantly before turning a corner and opening a door to an office and walking over to the window, opening it and getting ready to jump out.
"You're jumping?" Syndrome inquired knowing that his exit route was eerily similar.
"Again. Not even close," Invisigirl coolly replied as she tapped on her ear, a sliding door to a small hover craft opened. "You don't think I'm the only thing capable of disappearing are you? I would offer you a ride but, something tells me you already have one, see you around Syndrome," Invisigirl cooed as she hopped from the window sill to the waiting door before it closed and vanished again. Syndrome could hear it fly away and felt his stomach collect a few butterflies. Jaded Invisigirl was a sexy Invisigirl and she knew it. Perhaps he would pay her a more personal visit soon.
Author's notes- This is an unbetaed thing that was prompted by something on tumblr and I thought I would just share it here. Let me know if you want to read more or if I should just stop it here.
