"Whoa, whoa, whoa, just hang on a second!" Nick pleaded, noticing Isobel reaching for the weapon. "Ok, look, I don't know who you guys are, what any of you are doing here, and frankly I don't care at this point. What I do know is that if we stay here we're all gonna get arrested. So if it's all the same to you, I say we just turn our backs to each other, go our separate ways, and pretend this whole fiasco never happened, what do ya say?" He suggested, but before anyone could answer, the alley was illuminated with the swirling red and blue lights of a police car, three officers emerging and aiming pistols at them.

"Hands up!" One ordered to them.

"Oh, no, no, no, officers, t-this is all a misunderstanding, you see o-only she..." Nick frantically tried to explained, but was just ignored.

"I said hands up where I can see them, you're all under arrest!"

"Gah, jeez, damn it!" Nick cursed as he obeyed, raising his open hands in the air.

It was very surprising to her when she heard all the sudden commotion going on not too far from her. She immediately jumped off of the building, arms stretched out to her sides. The blackness of her costume suddenly morphed and grew wings, then the helmet became the head of a pterodactyl...

---

Once she had glided enough of a distance, she spotted the causers and participants of the noise. some appeared to be cops, at least as far as she knew...and others appeared to be other people she wouldnt know what to call. The young heroine swooped down into the confined area and morphed her suit back into a normal person's just in time to land.

Isobel back up slowly, taking her hand off the dagger handle. Even she would have a hard time taking on this many people. She slowly raised her hands but had no intention of being captured. A ball of light blue light grew in her hands and she threw it at the ground, where it only grew brighter and brighter, blinding everyone nearby. She didn't waste any time after throwing the ball of light. Immediately after, she shed the hoodie, freeing her wings. She took flight, her wings silent.

Now there was something you didn't see every day. Andrea took notice of the flying girl leaving the scene, and against her better judgement decided to take flight after her. She returned into the form of a pterodactyl and flapped massively in order catch up with the very mysterious person. What she would do, she didn't know yet, but hopefully this wasn't a criminal. "Hey! Wait up!"

Isobel felt much better up in the air, but of course she had to be followed. "Jeez, I rob one store of a few clothes and suddenly I'm America's Most Wanted." She grumbled. She did slow down and alight on the top of a building, but not because the girl following her had asked her to.

The rooftop was littered with food wrappers in one spot and a collection of blankets in one corner. Isobel picked up her staff and breathed a sigh of relief. She was alright fighting with just a dagger but really the staff was her specialty. "You shouldn't follow me." She said to the girl, guessing she was still nearby. Now that Isobel's arms were bared and she wasn't on the run anymore, the tiny needles scars covering her arms were clearly visible.

"Oh shit, the Silhouette." Nick said, barely above a whisper. Nick's eyes widened to the size of saucers at the sight of the dark clothed vigilante, this was the last thing he wanted to happen, he has seen what she could do and had nowhere near enough confidence in his abilities to fight the seasoned veteran. However, he was brought out of his thoughts by Isobel's blinding light, he turned away to shield his eyes and when he looked back both females were gone. However, he heard Silhouette call after her, causing him to look up and see them both fly away, shocking him. "Whoa, she really was an angel?" Nick said in astonishment.

"Should we go after them sir?" One of the cops asked who Nick assumed to be the lead officer.

"...Nah, if The Silhouette's after her, she'll be dropped at our doorstep soon enough, let's just haul in these kids for questioning." The officer said, reigniting Nick's concern.

"Whoa, wait, hold on, I swear I'm innocent!" Nick insisted, but was just ignored as he was cuffed and lead into the cop car that also held Duuk.

"You shouldn't fly in public." The Silhouette pointed out with a shrug and tilted her head. "It really makes you stand out. Not that I'm saying that's bad or anything. Most adults will say stuff like that anyways."

If she could've, Isobel would've rolled her eyes. "Ok Mom. I didn't have much of a choice. I was cornered." Isobel strapped her staff into its harness on her back, right between her wings. She was facing away from the girl's voice as she took her sunglasses off and pulled out a bandage wrap, which she proceeded to use to cover the area of her eyes. "As you can see, I don't have any adults in my life." At least none that weren't trying to capture her.

Athens looked at Nick and the others, "good luck kid..." The officer went to take Athens in but with a snap of his fingers blue fire consumed him and he was gone! Who knows where, but certainly not after the legendary super hero and her anti-Christ prey... The Immortal dragon man would bide his time and wait to see what would happen next!

Duuk and Nick got loaded into the back of a squad car together and the other criminal was loaded into a separate card. "Man this day sucks, of everyone arrested they only get the two innocent guys huh..." Duuk was currently preparing to judge Nick's character, not in a bad way, but if Nick seemed like a good guy Duuk had enough money on one of his debit cards alone to post both their bail and feel no big loss financially.

( anti-Christ)

"Well, of course I can see that..." The Silhouette crossed her arms nonchalantly and took a brief glance at the sky. "So, just to clarify since I'm a superhero and all...you weren't being harassed back there were you? Cuz that wouldnt be very nice and I would have to have a word about it."

Isobel laughed and turned around to face the girl. "No, if you're a superhero then you'd think I earned that harassment and more." She crossed her arms. "I needed clothes so I took them. And then I lost them."

She need clothes and stole them? It was a saddening story, yet still breaking the law. The girl tried a different approach to the matter though, and said: "do you still need those clothes?Cuz there are ways tp get them that are easier than just taking them."

"Not for me." Isobel shook her head. This girl, this self-labeled superhero...she would never understand. "Doing things legally leaves a paper trail. Not to mention the government would love to get their hands on me."

"No kidding, my parents are going to kill me!" Nick lamented frantically, lowering his head with a sigh. "I should've known better than to walk down a strange alley, that's where all the superhero shit goes down... well, better the police got to us than The Silhouette, at least she's tracking down the real criminal in all of this." He was mostly talking to himself, before turning his attention to Duuk, recognizing him from the alley.

"By the way, sorry about ditching you in that alley, I had no idea what was going on and the police freaked me out, guess I choose the wrong person to stick with. I'm Nick by the way, you?" He introduced himself, just for the sake of politeness.

"Wait, you think I was gonna buy you clothes?" She laughed. "Sorry, but my allowance is nowhere near that much!"

Isobel shook her head. Though she had to admit the idea had occurred to her. "No, for me to be able to actually go out and get things legally. I'd have to steal the money first, since I really doubt there's anywhere hiring a blind winged girl. Then trying to buy food and clothes with stolen money...well that would just make the whole thing redundant don't you think?"

It truly was redundant, but that wasn't really what happened to be the plan in Andrea's mind. Much different in fact, was her plan. "Yeah. It is. That's why I have more clothes and food than I need. Also shoes, if you like that sort of thing. This suit works as clothes good enough. Bra, socks,shoes, shirt and all."

Isobel was so surprised she didn't say anything for a moment. Then she snorted trying to hold back laughter. She, the only one who had committed a crime, was being offered clothes by the superhero while the other three who'd had nothing to do with the crime were probably being escorted to some police station for several hours of questioning before finally being released. Still grinning, Isobel finally responded. "If you've got some to spare, I won't refuse but are you sure this is good for your reputation?"
