Vin | Mistborn

[If she'd had to discard her status as an urban legend, this was not the way she had hoped to do it. "Mistborn," the independent Super that had become a sort of Robin Hood-esque figure, stealing from the overly wealthy of the city for the benefit of the less fortunate. It wasn't her usual M.O. to emerge in the light of day but these robots were also threatening the people she'd promised to take care of too.

One Deviobot goes down, circuitry sparking from where she'd yanked it free and she spins, tassled mistcloak whipping around her, and sends a second crashing into a wall. Still, numbers are numbers and soon she's being harried by laser fire as she leaps and flips through the air to avoid it.

And, naturally, there isn't an Omegafriend in sight. They're never around when you need them.]

[As mentioned, she isn't normally fighting off hordes of villain-built robots. Tonight, she's up to her more usual habits: breaking into the upper class apartment of one of Venture City's corporate moguls with a wife famous for gaudy jewelry. And that's her target. Whatever overpriced, unnecessary bit of flashy nonsense that can be sold for the cash that could help somebody who needed it.

Window open, she's hard at work, burning zinc to throw off waves of calm and security just in case anybody woke up to something going bump in the night. She'd undoubtedly tripped a silent alarm so she needed to be fast. Get what she could carry and make her escape back out the window in less than five minutes. Easy. What could go wrong?]

[What could go wrong? Supers, that's what. It's always supers.

A shadow passes over the moonlight filtering in through the open window - a masked figure, floating in midair.]

Mind if I ask you a few questions?

[Of course it was Supers. It was always Supers.

With a faint sigh, "Mistborn" straightens from where she'd been crouched over a cracked safe. She's... perhaps not as much of an imposing figure as her reputation might have hinted. Just about five feet tall and rail thin. The cloak's pretty neat though, and she turns to eye the floating hero from beneath her hood and domino mask.]

Actually, I would. I'm kind of busy right now.

[bun_bun_maru]

[That puts her at about the size of her foil of the night! What the Super lacks in cloaks, she makes up for with a cape and a feathered masquerade mask.

Tengu leans into the room, resting her elbows on the windowsill as the rest of her floats outside.]

I'm not with the Omegafriends, you know. Are you a Super, or is this just what you do for fun on Friday nights?

[doomedtheworld]

[Well, that puts her somewhat at ease and she quietly pockets the coins she'd slipped into her hand. She goes back to her work, opening up the safe, but doesn't take her attention off of Tengu. Just because she's not an Omegafriend doesn't mean she won't try to get in her way.]

Something like that.

[What could go wrong? Well... in this apartment, there happened to be another man breaking in, using his invisibility to look for valuables.

But when he sees this other person - they weren't an Omegafriend, were they? Tsk. And here he thought he'd gotten away cleanly.

And that's when his invisibility broke down. Letting out a tsk, he knew from a glance he'd probably need to fight his way out.]
And I thought I could wait to repair myself.

[doomedtheworld]

[Mistborn's sharpened senses picked up that the apartment wasn't quite as empty as she'd hoped. She turns just in time to catch the breakdown of that invisibility equipment.

Damnit, was she caught? She shifts into a ready stance, slipping a few coins into her hand. Except, wait... why would an Omegafriend be skulking around in the dark? That was a little out of the ordinary.

She lets the comment about repairing himself slide, since it's hardly immediately relevant. For now.]

Who are you?

[skylesspirate]

Who else? [heh] I'm Strahl - and I'm here for a bit of treasure.
[His guns armed, his wings unflared, he's giving an overconfident look.]
