[The city is under attack. The Devibots are running rampant through the streets and everywhere in the city and where is Augustus? He's sitting on top of a building, watching. He has out his laptop and is typing away as he watches the battle taking place across the city. The heroes are out as is Dr. Devious and who knows what other villains. It is the perfect time to get some data.

The P.I.'s tail twitches as he takes down further notes. Little does he know there is a Devibot behind him until he spots it in the reflection on his screen. He scoops up the computer and grabs his trusty metal bat and dodges as it strikes. He smirks and slides the laptop into his trench coat.]

Didn't your owner teach you about not looking over people's shoulders when they're typing?

[The robot isn't listening and moves toward the feline.]

Where is a hero when you need one?

[The Siamese sits in his small office. Augustus P.I. A private investigator is a great cover for his own goals. It attracts people who need help and allows him to gather information from a large number of people here in Venture City. He leans back in his chair as he watches the door. A small red and yellow squeaky hammer is in his hand as he turns it around. It is one of his favorite things.

He taps it against his hand and listens to the small squeak that comes out. He turns in his chair then looks at the door again. Today is a slow day. He hopes someone walks in soon. He would enjoy having something to do today.]

[With a literal fanfare being played on the various woodwinds and brass comprising the arm that just crushed the Devibot to bits, Big Band lets out a little steam, the wind from the altitude flapping his enormous trenchcoat around him.]

They're around. You just gotta learn how to be patient.

[The fur on the catboy's tails stands on end with the sudden crash of the woodwinds and brass arm crushing the robot. The PI looks Big Band with side eyes before he smiles. He did ask...]

I always forget you heroes have to make an entrance. Good to know I can count on you at the last second.

It's all a part of the job description. [The massive arm folds in on itself, becoming compact enough to fit underneath the trenchcoat.]

Any particular reason Devious is sending his little lackeys to track you? There's a whole bunch trying to get in the building below.

[Big Band tilts his head with a slight mechanical whir.] Well, they were. Now they're probably trying to figure out how to put themselves back together.

Not a clue.

[So the good doctor is after him too. Seems Dr. Devious isn't planning on playing nice with anyone today. Augustus is going to make sure to remember that. And he has a hero right in front of him.]

Perhaps the doctor thinks I know something? I wouldn't speculate since I'm not sure anyone can truly guess how the mind of a mad man works.

Far as I know, Devious tends to live up to his name: ain't no madness without method. [Birdland was a detective in a past life, and Big Band can already smell something fishy about this cat.]

You one of those hacker types, buddy? [He motions to indicate the laptop that Augustus is carrying. The insinuation isn't hostile, more... inquisitive.]

Me? Oh no. [The feline chuckles.]

I only had notepad open. I was writing something for a client, that's all. Taking notes on all the fighting. I do a little freelance journalism.

[It is a valid excuse. Though if this guy is going to guy it or not is another story.]

Hmm... tracking down journalists? Bet you started a pretty big spat on the rags, then. [Either that, or that's not all. But digging deeper isn't really priority here; what is is cleanup. He can file away the shady cat for his own sort of freelance work.]

Either way, I-- oh, hold on. [With barely any hesitation, a giant saxophone pops out of Big Band's back and blares a low note... which sends an airborne Devibot crashing to the rooftop.] Persistent little guys, huh?

[The doctor isn't giving up it seems. Five more airborne Devibots are flying toward them.]

I think you might be attracting their attention more than I am. We might want to stick together.

[One lands by Augustus. He ducks under its claw and delivers a one armed blow to the robot's head with his bat. The head spins around a few times on the Devibot before it stops backwards. The poor thing looks confused. Until the cat smacks it in the chest where that convenient energy core it. It falls over and deactivates.]

Yeah... suit ain't really geared for stealth. [What it is geared for, though, is combat. Big Band leaps into the air with a blast of steam underneath him, getting in front of two Devibots. He hovers for a split second before a massive pair of cymbals opens up from underneath his trench and crash into each other, conveniently destroying the robots between them.

When he lands back on the roof, it's not without some significant cracking to the material.] Three down, two to go... I don't think I can get airborne without taking this whole building with me. Any ideas?

[Two in the air. He smirks and looks to the hero. Of course he has a plan. He just might need a little help pulling it off.]

Throw me at them and get ready to catch me. Think you can do that?

Well... if you're sure. [Two massive mechanical hands emerge, one standing by and the other waiting for Augustus to step on. Once he does, he lets out yet more steam (along with some errant musical notes) as he flings the catboy high up, straight towards the last two robots.]

[The feline doesn't hestiate to step into one of the hands. He ducks down and gets ready. As he soars through the air, he brings back his bat laughs.]

BATTER UP! [The first swing connects. It hits the power core of the first robot and it does down. He is grabbed by the second, just as he planned. He raises the bat and smacks the elbow joint.]

It's a fly ball! [He grabs the arm just before he falls and swings up onto the robot's shoulders. He reaches down between some of the plates and pulls wires. The robot spins and begins to fly erratically. It goes right for the building but is going too low. Augustus jumps just before it hits the building and reaches out for the hero.]

[Well that's... somewhat impressive. Seems like there's way more going on here than just some journalist getting caught up in the supers mix. Ben leisurely catches Augustus, setting him down on the slightly damaged rooftop.]

Nice play, kid.

It wasn't a home run but it was a good double play. Nice catch, Mr. Hero.

[The cat chuckles. He probably showed off more than he should have but he is going to let it slide. Might not be a bad idea to let some rumors circulate. Could get him more business and with that, more information.]

We might want to vacate the premise though. I don't think this building is going to take too much damage and still be covered by its insurance.

Sounds about right. [Using... some kind of tripod, he makes his way to the building's edge and looks down.] I'll be sure to get in contact with you later. Gotta go see somebody about these attacks.

[With that and another jazzy fanfare, Big Band steps off of the building edge... and slowly makes his way down with a set of rockets. Yep. Not geared for stealth in the slightest.]

Augustus?

[Tails' voice comes through the door just before his knock does. The fox sometimes decides to hang around at the office with his "foster parent" after school...but usually that's for some specific reason.]

Are you seeing anyone or can I come in?

[But he's polite enough as always to make sure Augustus isn't too busy for him.]

Edited 2014-05-24 21:25 (UTC)

[Augustus blinks. Tails is here? He sits up in his chair and puts down the toy. He stares at the door for a few seconds. Why is he here? He usually isn't interested in coming to the office. Except when he's wanting to snoop. Which is an interesting occurrence. The young fox never finds anything truly of interest. Augustus makes sure of it.]

I'm free. Come on in.

[Well Augustus isn't a terrible person, but something about him just makes tails want to investigate. He opens the door and walks in, giving a sheepish smile.]

Hi, Augustus. Can I ask a favor?

[Augustus smiles and leans back in his chair.]

Of course you can. What do you need?

[Rubbing the back of his neck, the fox walks over to the desk.]

Well, in class we got assigned a report on our...parents.

[Augustus's face falls and he sits up more. Well, he isn't expecting that.]

Oh...I see. I'm not sure how I can help with that one.

Well right now you're my guardian. So...can I use you for it?

[Augustus's eyes widen for a second.]

...Me? You want to use me? I'm not that interesting. You sure you wouldn't want to do it on someone more interesting?

Even if there was someone more interesting, you're the closest thing I have to staying in line with the assignment.
