Amy left the diner and headed to her first class. She considered giving Lucy a call, but she wasn't to sure what to say. "Hey, did anyone ever tell you that you kind of resemble grainy photos of super villian Lucy Diamond? And how funny you have the same name? Oh, and if you are actually Lucy Diamond, do you think I'd be able to ask you some questions so I can better write my thesis?" She laughed at herself a little. She then walked past a poster "Security Starts at Home, Only You Can Spy on Your Neighbors!" which she was the star of and began laughing even harder. Sometimes she really didn't know what she was doing here. That thought made her want to call Lucy again. She was just going in circles today.

There was a note taped to the door of "Capes and Capers: Gender Reconstruction and the Criminal Mastermind." No class today. Amy sighed. This was a once a week class so it was 3 hours long. Looks like I have a lot of free time on my hands. Before Amy fully even realized what she was doing, she had looked up Lucy in her contact list and hit the call button.

Lucy looked down at her phone and smiled. "Hey you. I didn't think I'd be hearing from you today." Hearing from Amy really made her want to cancel her blind date. The whining she would have to hear from an already hurt and whiny Scud changed her mind. She heard Amy respond, "My only class today was cancelled. I have some time to kill and I just wanted to say...well, say 'hi' I guess."

Lucy could hear the smile in Amy's voice. She hoped it had more to do with the fact she was talking to her than the fact her class was canceled. Ever the confident one, Lucy asked. "So, do you sound so happy because you have no class, or because you are talking to me?"

Amy smirked. "My class." The grainy picture from her briefing flashed across her mind and she grew slightly serious. "I gotta run Lucy, but maybe I'll see you soon?" "No maybes about it. Call you tomorrow?" "I'll be looking forward to it! Bye!"

Janet caught up with Amy after seeing the note on the classroom door. "Were you talking to Bobby? You look all girly-blushy-happy." Amy looked over at Janet. "Is that the look you see on my face when I'm talking to Bobby?" Janet blinked and surprised Amy by chuckling. "No, I don't think I've ever seen you look quite that way where Bobby was concerned. No chance, huh?" Amy smiled. Finally. "Nope." Janet nodded. "So...who was that then?"

Amy really didn't know how to answer, but she was saved at that moment by Janet's cellphone ringing. Janet froze as she reached for it in her small purse. "...if you want to destroy my sweater, pull this thread as I walk away..." She looked at Amy, alarmed. "I hate this song!" Amy grinned. "Payback's a bitch, huh?"

It was about 7 pm that the Debs arrived at Les Deux Amours, a restaurant that dubbed itself "Trendy, Yet Discreet." Amy wondered exactly what that meant. She also wondered why the restaurant was four floors and had cathedral ceilings. They were perched in their surveillance swings, high above everyone dining. Amy looked over at Dominique. She had the new listening device Debs HQ had come up with, but it looked somewhat ridiculous on the French-Asian beauty. She was listening to random conversations going on far below them. She, of course, had a cigarette dangling from the corner of her mouth. "Um, Dom, where are you ashing that cigarette?" Dominique smiled at Amy. "Best I can tell, onto ze toupee of ze man below me!" Janet couldn't contain her laughter. "That's the man that grabbed my ass!" Amy, Max and Dom all looked over at Janet slightly surprised. They all shared a laugh.

Janet's cellphone began playing "The Sweater Song" again and she turned bright red. Max actually snorted and teetered on her swing she was laughing so hard. She answered and looked over at Amy. "It's Bobby." Amy shook her head. "I don't want to talk to him." Janet relayed the message. Dom looked at Janet. "Just hang up ze phone." Janet shrugged and ended the call.

Not ten seconds later Bobby repelled down from somewhere above them. "Babe, we need to talk." The Debs looked up and around the restaurant. It was then they noticed several other government agencies staked out through the restaurant. Better late than never.

"Why do you have to be such a jerk about everything?" Bobby looked confused. "Well when my girlfriend breaks up with me for no reason after eight months, you'll excuse me if I'm a little hostile." Amy was surprised. "It's not for no reason." "Well then gimme one!" Amy thought of all the times she had given him all of the reasons, but when he asked this time she simply said, "I just want more." "More what?" Bobby was really starting to frustrate her. "I don't know." What Amy really wanted to say was I think I finally know. But you would never understand. "Is there somebody else?"

Amy almost said maybe. "No, there is nobody else." Bobby didn't even seem to be listening to her anymore. "If there's somebody else I swear to god..." "I just..." Amy began. "Speak!" "I'm not in love with you." There it is. "Well. I guess nobody's good enough for little Miss Perfect Score." "Shut up!" Bobby had finally said something that hit home for Amy. "Oh yeah, you'll be back." With that, he ascended further up into the rafters. Amy thought what he had said. She was tired of the Perfect Score label. She reminded herself that her relationship with Bobby just hadn't felt right. It didn't feel the way she thought love was supposed to feel. However, she had other things to deal with right now. It was time to work.

At about 7:30 pm, Ninotchka Kaprova arrived. "Wow, she's early," Janet noted. Max looked at her and said, "Well if I were an assassin, I'd want to check the place out, make sure I wasn't being set up." Janet shrugged and Max shook her head disappointingly at Janet. But Ninotchka did no such thing. She was seated at a table, and she just...sat there. She didn't remove her coat, she didn't sip her water. At exactly 8 pm, she picked up her menu and looked at it. Then she put it down. And picked it up again five minutes later.

Scud and Lucy pulled up to the 'Trendy Yet Discreet' restaurant about five minutes before the date. Lucy was still very reluctant to go. They sat in silence out front of Les Deux Amours. Finally, Scud couldn't wait anymore. "Luce, you realize this is the first of three dates." He put his fingers up, one at a time, counting to three. He waggled his three fingers. "Why is it I can hold the whole world hostage, but I'm scared to go on one stupid blind date?" "Because...love is harder than crime. Ok, now, knock em dead." He decided he might actually need to clarify his last statement. Just to be sure she didn't kill someone if this date went badly. "But not really!"

At 10 minutes after 8, Lucy walked into Les Deux Amours. Amy closed her eyes. She knew by the way she walked to the table that the Lucys were one and the same. Plus she doubted anyone else could look that good in a leather coat. She just needed the extra confirmation the binoculars would bring. Janet talked to Amy about sweaters while Amy tried to patiently wait for Max to pass the binoculars. Suddenly the binoculars were in her hands and Amy wasn't sure if she really wanted to look. She put them up to her eyes. Her first thought was My god she looks good. "Wow. Lucy Diamond. She's..." Amy stopped what she was about to say. But Max forced that issue. "What?" "Real. I-I never thought I'd see her in person." Amy realized she had a lot to think about. Including the fact that she was incredibly attracted to a supervillian.

Several minutes went by. Amy watched Lucy and Ninotchka place their order with the waiter as she sat on her perch high above them. She listened as Dominique shared what was being discussed at the table. "They are talking about killing, and how to kill, and who to kill..." Amy was becoming slightly distressed. She saw Kaprova make a strange broad sweeping gesture with her arms. What was that about? She asked Dominique, but she cursed softly in French and mumbled something about not being able to hear what she had said.

Bobby repelled back down to Amy at that moment, asking Amy for his father's bracelet back. Amy had forgotten all about it. Looking down at her wrist she realized she was still wearing it. Amy was slightly exasperated, but started to unclasp it. Bobby grabbed her wrist and also tried to remove it. Before either of them could do anything about it, it fell off of her wrist and out of the grasp of either of them, tumbling down to the table below. And it landed right in Lucy Diamond's soup.

Partially relieved that her conversation with Ninotchka had been interrupted, Lucy looked up and wondered why it was raining bracelets. She saw four Debs agents up on surveillance swings, with what looked like a SWAT agent or possibly Homeland Security with them. Her relief changed to annoyance, and not even the fact that she could see up the short skirts of the agents above her was enough to squash that. She reached for her gun, but did not pull it out of her jacket. She had no desire for any innocent people to get hurt.

Then everything went to hell. Someone fired a shot, she wasn't sure who, and the vase on her table exploded. It all happened so fast. She fired shots back and dove behind the bar. Ninotchka followed. Lucy was in no mood to chit chat with her anymore, and she decided that this date had to be worse than Scud's. She tried to placate the woman, who seemed to be getting more and more upset at her. This is unbelievable. She went through the it's not you, it's me line, finally telling Ninotchka that she just wasn't interested. The assassin didn't take that so well, saying something about Lucy dying alone. The only thing preventing her from rolling her eyes were the gunshots still being fired in her direction. Ninotchka apparently saw a clear path to an exit and took off out of the restaurant. "Shit. Shit shit shit." Lucy looked quickly over the bar and saw a Deb walking...no strutting towards her. A Deb that looked an awful lot like Max, strangely. Lucy needed to make her own exit. She grabbed a metal table off of its stand and ran across the restaurant toward a side exit, holding it in front of her like a shield.

Amy took some half-hearted shots in the general direction of Lucy, not wanting to hit her, but not wanting any crap from Max either. She sighed in relief when Lucy finally slipped out a side door. I guess we are going to have to talk about this. She shook her head slightly and realized Max was giving orders. Janet was questioning them. She loved Janet, but improvising was not her strong point. Any second now, Max was going to bring up Janet's stripes, or lack there of. Amy was not disappointed but she was growing impatient. She began tapping her foot and looked up at the ceiling. We need to find Lucy. Well. I need to find Lucy.
