Taylor actually knew the location of the bank, so instead of walking she just Apparated us to the bank.
We arrived with the loud bang the spell made startling a few people around us. They just gave a look before they ignored us, except the children who just at us, specifically me with adoration in their eyes.
They probably thought I was the coolest dude in existence, I just gave them a smile and a wave before we went into the bank. And just as a courtesy I had Balmung dematerialize, cause taking weapons into the bank was a bad idea and gave the wrong image.
We to a place in the cue and now waited for it to our turn, but as we stood and waited, we got more looks and some whispers about us. Like why there was Capes in the bank and if we weren't ones who took down Victor.
The cue moved slowly, giving me the feeling that an eternity had passed, but in reality, only fifteen minutes went before it was our turn.
"Hello, what can I help you with," The male bank teller spoke in a nervous tone, guess he wasn't used be servicing Capes in costume.
"I'm here to cash in some checks," Taylor said, as she reached into her bag and pulled out the envelope Piggot had given her.
Taylor gave the envelope to the teller. "They are in there."
The teller opened the envelope and took out the checks and gave them a look over. "I need to authenticate these, I will be back in a moment." The teller stood up and went deeper into the bank.
We had waited for about five minutes before he came back. "They have been authenticated. So, how do you want the money."
"Can we get two thousand now and have the rest put on an account," Taylor asked.
"Sure, thing ma'am, we have several offers for Cape bank accounts." The teller provided. And so for the next twenty minutes, I participated in boring legal nonsense before finally Taylor was given her card.
"Well, I feel like I aged five hundred years," I said as we left the bank.
"Come now it wasn't that bad," Taylor responded. I just gave her a look that said. Are you sure? "Oh, okay it was pretty boring.
"Glad that you agree, so now that you got money. Can you buy me one of those phone things, I want to see that internet thing."
Taylor looked at the ground for a moment like she was thinking it over. "Sure, if I'm going to be a hero, I need to, to call the PRT or the Police. Come we can buy one at the Board Walk." Taylor said as she grabbed me and proceeded to Apparate us.

The Boardwalk of Brockton Bay was a rather nice looking place, and it didn't look so worn like the rest of the city did.
There were a lot of people walking around the place even during a rather cold day such as this one. And like at the bank, we were attracting all the attention as people looked at us, and especially again the kids. We had even signed a few autographs and began to understand what some celebrities felt like now. Cause if they had to deal with a greater amount of fans than me, it was miracle most of them weren't insane by now.
Now though Taylor and I were sitting at a Café enjoying lunch, I had a sandwich and a cup of Hot Coco. Cause that was the only hot drink I would ever do, Tea and Coffe could go fuck itself in the ass. And Taylor had switched out her full mask for a half mask was eating things more on the sweet end, along with a cup of Tea.
While I was playing with my new smartphone, it wasn't an LG, but it would have to do.
I was currently checking out PHO, trying to find the video of my fight with Lancer. I did, and boy were the replies both depressing and hilarious. I didn't post anything, but I was tried then I read some of Greg's comments about Taylor.
I made my way out of the cancer and onto the Protectorate's official website and tried to find a picture of Myrrdin. Cause I wanted to see if he actually dressed like a Wizard, I found and I.
Huh?
That really shouldn't have surprised me, I thought as I looked at the picture of Myrrdin.
Now I wondered how the fuck Merlin got out of Avalon along with Fou, yeah could see little critter on his shoulder.
I really didn't know what I thought as I sent an E-Mail to him. Asking how he got out of Avalon, and to make sure he took me seriously I added the sentence. Holy Grail War in Brocton Bay.
I sighed as I put my phone down and went back to eating.
"So, do you like your phone?" Taylor asked me.
"I do, it is a great wonder of the modern age I wish we had something like this during my time," I said as I took a bite out of my sandwich, delicious ham and cheese.
"Glad you enjoy it," Taylor said, as she went back to her food.
We were just about to finish then a woman of African descent came over to our table looking rather nervous.
"Are you the ones that killed Victor?" She asked us.
Taylor nervously swallowed. "I am." She answered.
The woman gave us a quick bow and said. "Thank you for avenging my husband and letting him rest peacefully." She stood straight again and left us.
And Taylor looked like a fish.
"Congrats hero," I said. "You just made someone's day, how does that feel?"
"It, it felt great," was all Taylor gave for an answer before many other people came over to us and thanked Taylor for ending Victor.
By the gods, this would mess with Taylor so much. Thankfully the thanks were stopped by a loud booming voice that traveled across the Boardwalk.
"HELLO PEOPLE OF BROCKTON BAY, THIS IS UBER AND LEET'S GAME SHOW." I looked over the place to try and find them but, with no luck. "TODAY WE'RE PLAYING GEARS OF WAR, AND ITS HORDE MODE. AND TODAY WE ALSO HAVE SPECIAL GUESTS THE CAPES SIGURD AND SALEM. NOW THE LET LOSE THE SWARM."
And just like that Locust began to appear in flashes of light all across the Boardwalk. I leaped off my chair and summoned Balmung back onto my back, and unsheathed it. I attacked quickly and destroyed five Locusts, that was about to attack a woman that was holding a baby. I quickly turned my back to her to protect her from the Locusts that were coming.
"DEAR PLAYERS YOUR JOB I SIMPLE DEFEAT THE SWARM AND THE BOSS YOU WIN THE GAME. BUT YOU BETTER HURRY BEFORE WE FINISH ROBBING THE PLACE."
I gritted my teeth as I spoke to the civilians while cutting through the digital recreations. "Everyone please hide inside the shops while we take care of this!" I shouted. "Salem, can you put some barriers up to protect them?" I asked Taylor.
"I can do that," Taylor responded as she pulled out five gems from her bag and threw them behind us.
The gems landed in five different places before the spell stored inside them activated and created a wall sealing off most of the Boardwalk from the Digital Locust.
"Everybody, the monsters can't go beyond that wall so hurry!" Taylor shouted. The civilians obeyed her and ran through the force field.
I readied my blade and charged the horde, and I started with a mighty swing that went faster than sound.
I was so going to put my fist up Leet's and Uber's ass.
