"URGENT MEETING AT LEBLANC AFTER SCHOOL VERY IMPORTANT!"
Barbara was sitting inside waiting for the crew to arrive. This seemed like an urgent matter. She feared for the worst, Akira getting arrested, Ryuji making another outburst, Ann being overweight, Yusuke running out of artistic ideas, Makoto having two Ds (hint) or, Morgana running out of tuna. The thought of cranky Morgana made her shudder. Then thankfully Ryuji entered first.
"Whats up? Where is Akira and what's the urgency?"
"I don't know, i was wondering that myself." She replied.
Then one by one the thieves entered the cafe with the same question on their mind. Akira was the last one to enter.
"Where have you been? We been wait? What so important for us?" The group asked.
Akira looked puzzled. "What are you talking about? I haven't sent out anything."
He showed his phone to the group for them to see that he did not make a message. Looking down at their own phones they saw the message that he sent.
"That is impossible" Ann said as she looked a little spooked. Then their phones made another bing sound to see another message sent to all of them. It was an unknown number.
HELLO I AM ALIBABA. I know you are the phantom thieves. I have been watching you.
"The hell?" Barb looked around the room. Then another bing. Don't bother, I have them well hidden, i have a request for you. I need you to change my heart. Do that and I will protect you from the hacker group Medjed.
The group looked at each other. "We have to do this, she knows and she could help, all in favor?" Akira asked the group. They nodded. Akira texted back. Ok, where can we find you?
The message back was pending, Why do you want to know that, just do already!?
Akira- We need to know more about you.
Unknown- I did not know that. Then nevermind, your secrest still safe with me. BYE!
Akira tried to message back but was blocked for some reason. And the number was unknown.
"What the hell was that? I thought she wanted our help." Ann asked
Maybe she is shy. We should try and find her." said Makoto.
"I have an idea." Barbara said, "Akira I need your phone for the night, is that ok?"
Sure, just don't mess with anything, ok i need it back tomorrow ok?
No problem. She said as he handed him the phone. I have a friend that can help."
LINE BREAK
Back at her apartment she went to get her encrypted phone to make a call for help. She could scan the phone and trace it to its origin to find the hacker but she did not have the batcomputer with her. She dialed the number to the manor and let it ring.
"Hello Bruce isn't here at the moment, shall I take a message?"
"Hey Alfred" responded Barbara.
"Oh Miss Gordon hello, sorry I did not know sooner."
"Its ok, are you at the cave now? I need to analizy something. Can you do it remotely?"
"But of course let me head there now." Alfred replied has he hung up on her.
After being on hold for a bit he answered her again.
"I'm here, send me a visual if you would be so kind."
"Here you go." Barbara said. "There was a text message connected to this phone and I need to track its origin. Can you see where the message is from."
"On it miss Gordon, oh dear, it seems that there is a bit of encryption. Someone does not want to be found. Ah here we go, i have an address for you."
"Thank you so much Alfred"
" Your are welcome. Before you go, it seems like you are investigating something, do you want me to send bruce to assist you?"
"No thank you. I can handle this, tell Bruce and the family i'm doing fine."
"Ok madam, good day to you." He hung up. She looked on the phone to see the address of origin. She hoped that we can change her heart in time.
MORE LINE BREAKS!
Barb-Meet up at this address after school. Barb was as usual there first, waiting on the rest. When they arrived they looked over a suburban looking house from the outside. Once the group assembled they planned to enter. "Wired the door is unlocked." Yusuke said as he entered first. The house was dark, hard to see. Inside.
"Barbara you're sure this is the place? How could someone live here?" Ann asked. "Maybe it's haunted, "
"Shut up don't say that!" Makoto said jumping at the word haunted. "I don't do good with scary things."
Then a being popped on their phones
Unknown-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU FIND THIS PLACE!?
We trying to help you, where are you?" Ann said as they advanced through the house.
Unknown-GO AWAY!
They crept upstairs continuing forward. They saw a glowing light from under a room.
"I can't do this, It's really creepy," Makoto said, I'm going home." She turned to see a small little girl with glasses and orange hair. Her glasses glare covering her eyes and arms out stretched. "JUST DO ALREADY" she said.
Makoto just screamed. It was now pitch black. There was a sound of opening and closing a door. Then the lights turned on. Makoto was in Akira's arms and Ryuji hiding behind Ann. Sojiro Sakura looked at the group not knowing what to say next.
What are you kids doing in my house? Why are you guys at her room door?" he asked confused but not angry.
They looked to see a room that looked like a teens room. Get out sign and all.
"Im waiting." He said.
"Well you see your daughter Alibaba.. "
"She's not my daughter technically, her name is Futaba, i came to check on her. Sigh.." He looked more tired than usual. "Get back to the cafe, let's talk, helps me relieve my stress.
ANOTHER LINEBREAKER
"That is horrible." Makoto said. After hearing about futaba's past they felt bad. Barbara knew in her heart that they had to change her heart.
"I'm being confronted by social services to give to a foster home. But she doesn't go out. She has been threw enough." Sojiro said with his head in his hands.
Barbara stealthy texted Akira silently We still have to follow through with this, tomorrow i will keep him busy just find a way into her palace got it?
K akira responded. Everyone, while we have the weekend We meet up back at the house. Barb will distract Sojiro, we still need to help her. Understood?
The chat was filled with nods of agreement. "How to distract Sojiro for the day she thought,
NEXT DAY LINEBREAKER
You want to do what? He asked. Barb was dressed in her tourist fanatic outfit having 3 too many cameras in her backpack.
Come on I may have been here for a while but I want to go look at the cool tourists stops ya know?"
I still have a shop to run."
"Oh come on, I know you were upset at yourself yesterday so maybe going out and seeing the sights could change you mood." she said "plus, you would not want me to go alone by myself, that would be unmanly of you."
Sojiro twitched, "Damn it" he thought. "Fine I will close for the day, but I still want to get back to the shop."
They walk out into the street sojiro giving a history lesson on each of the sights of tokyo. She felt happy as he started to cheer up a bit. She enjoyed how much he know of the city. Near the end of the walk they started to walk near the subway. Compared to Gotham, Tokyo had it on lock.
"Lets enter here, it's not rush hour so it would not be crowded," Sojiro said.
They entered the subway where she was looking out side where she saw a dangerous sight. Just for a moment, she saw the familiar green question mark from Gotham. Just like that it disappeared. Then a hand grabbed her shoulder, grabbing instinctively for a takedown when a voice broke her concentration.
"BARBARA!"
She stopped, she was about to flip over Sojiro over her back. She let go immediately.
"I'm so sorry, are you ok?"
"Fine thank you, what was that? you seem spooked."
"Its nothing she said. As they exited the train. It was later than usual. As barbara walk sojiro home.
"I hope you do better ok?"
Thank you Barb, I needed that. See you tomorrow."
As barbara walked back home she could not get the thought out of her head
She did not know if that was being homesick or for real. She hoped that the change of heart of Futaba was a success and she bought the group enough time. She needed to sleep on this and wait for what tomorrow brings.
MYSTERIOUS LINEBREAK
Meanwhile in the subway ruins a man was hard at work trying to build some form of contraption. The subways were an easy place to acquire a group test. Many people of different backgrounds packed into a small confined space. The ultimate survey of life and death. He laughed as his echo carried through the caverns. No bat to stop him now.
