Aki surveys a gang's warehouse. She glances down at her phone and reads the time. She sighs. She's been here for three hours, and there's been little movement. Now it's dark; on the plus side her all black outfit makes it easier to sneak in. Her black gloves stop her from leaving fingerprints behind; villains with identifying quirks wouldn't be able to trace her. She sees a car pull into the warehouse and sneaks in to get a better view. Hiding behind some crates, she sees a dark green haired man carrying a briefcase getting out of the car. He orders some thugs around and walks into a room. Aki steps to the edge of the crates and taking note of four guys built like tanks guarding the room. She sighs softly.
Her eyes wander back and forth, searching for anything she could use for a diversion. Her eyes stop at a barrel of oil on the other side of the crates. She creeps over to the barrel and punctures it. Then she steps back and lights it on fire. Aki rushes back to her hiding place and watches the men run to the fire and try to put it out. While the men are distracted, she dashes to the room and cracks open the door. She looks in and sees the sharply dressed green haired man shake another light haired man's hand.
"Pleasure doing business with you." The light haired man says. The sharp looking man nods in response.
Aki waits until the dark haired man reaches the door. She slams the door in his face, sending him stumbling back. She swiftly goes after the other man, taking off his tie and slamming him into his desk. She takes his tie and wraps it around his wrists. She proceeds to slam his head into the wall. He's knocked out instantly.
The dark haired man runs away. Did this thug think he could run away from her? She bolts towards him; she creates a fire wall around him and her. He gasps and steps back from the flames.
He turns around to face her. "Welp, you trapped me. What do you want?"
She rolls her eyes. "You."
The man smirks. "Sorry I'm taken." He darts into the fire and flees.
Aki growls and blue flames flare around her slate colored eyes. She clears the fire wall and searches around the building for him, but she can't find him. She huffs and takes out her phone, calling the local police. She leaves the warehouse and scouts the ground around the warehouse. She wanted to make sure none of the punks fled downtown; soon, she finds herself on a busy street.
A thief runs past her, shoving his way through the crowd.
Aki huffs, her eyes narrowing as she runs after him. Did he think he could shove her without getting beat up for it?! She chases him down the street, yelling curses as she goes. She feels her flames, but she silences them due to the crowd.
She nearly grabbed the bastard when a certain cape wearing asshole flies down and nabs him. Said asshole parades the criminal around before posing for the onlookers. Aki marches up to the man and punches him in his perfect face. "Captain Celebrity, that was my perp! I know you saw me going after him. Why the hell did you intervene you glory hogging showboat?!"
Captain Celebrity gives a bright smile to the audience. "Please give me a moment to discuss with my colleague. I'll be right back for interviews."
He takes Aki and the perp up to the rooftops, out of sight of the cameras. Then he knocks the guy out, turning to her with a death glare. "Look. See those cameras down there? They're here for me; not you. You stick to shiving guys in dark alleys, and I'll save the people that need it." He gives Aki a nasty smile. "I'm going back down there. Have fun getting off the roof." He wakes the guy back up and floats down to his crowd of loyal fans.
Aki looks down at the rickety stairwell. "Ugh, kill me now."
Aki's gaze shifts back and forth between the collapsing stairs and the edge of the rooftop. She walks over to the ledge and sighs. She narrows her eyes at the playboy bastard. She walks backwards until she got a good enough distance between her and the ledge. Then Aki bolted off the building.
She locks her eyes on the captain of assholes in the middle of the crowd as she fell. Right before Aki hits the jackass, she takes a deep breath and concentrates all of her fire to her feet, just enough to break her landing. She lands on the fool who thought he could just leave her up there without getting an ear full and punched in the face again. The whole crowd gasps at the sight of her falling on their hero.
Aki lifts herself off of the hero and brushed off her black clothes. "Sorry, Arrogant Celebrity. I didn't see you there." Her sarcastic voice echoes through the crowd of reporters.
He picks himself up off the blacktop. "Look half pint, it's Captain Celebrity! Not whatever you said, and if you can't fly then don't jump off buildings!" His voice was filled with anger. He looks around at the reporters staring him down, about to ask questions he didn't want to answer. He quickly adds to his statement. "Or you will get hurt."
Aki rolls her eyes at the bastard. "Ohh so jumping off buildings will get me hurt, but not rickety old staircases!" She glances behind him and sees the perp escaping. She groans. "And next time don't let the perp you steal from me get away! I think that's called being a bad hero, right?" She walks away, leaving him with a runway thief and a sea of reporters wondering why he was a fool.
