"What? But you said you're staying inside tonight?" Sleight asked confused.

"I know, I was planning to stay inside, but I can't turn down this opportunity to make a difference. And it's a small matter, so we shouldn't be getting in over our heads." She said, truing to tie him in.

"Small matter? It's a hostage situation!" Sleight said. "What if something goes wrong? I'm sorry, but my superhero costume got confiscated when I didn't pay my rent. This is just a little too much."

"I'm going anyway. I feel this is my calling and I'll not ignore that. I'll be back, good or bad." Thala said and grabbed a small black bag that she slipped over her head and synched tight to her side. She turned to the door, "Please don't call me out. I've got to hurry and I would like to keep this job." She said before rushing out of view.

"Fine, do as you like." Sleight said to himself as he headed back to his own room. "Don't come crying to me if you get shot, I did my part, I told you not to go." "Is Thala in her room?" Came the janitor's voice behind Sleight who jumped a foot high and spun around. "Oh! Uh, yes, yes. She's in there. Sleeping like a log, very tired from the whole day I suppose." He lied nervously. "That's good." The janitor said. "She's a nice kid. Rare to find in this city. It's not every day a person helps another off the street, makes sure he has a room and food. Nope, I would never even consider something like that. Glad she's safe. Child could use a break, glad she has a friend watching her back. Not every day you get that either." He said as he limped away sweeping the floor with his one hand. Sleight pointed a finger at the janitor's back before throwing it down and storming to his room and slamming the door shut behind him. He hit the door two more times with his head before he turned to his box and opened it. Inside was the magician's costume he wore at Vegas, a reminder of his quick raise and fall.

Thala had slipped out the back and slipped out of her Overalls, not dressed in black pants and a black long-sleeve shirt with the cape she'd bought around her neck. The cap portion was tucked into her shirt and pants and over all that was the bullet proof vest, still damaged, but looking nice. She pulled the hood from the cape over her head and pulled out some makeup, smearing black around her eyes and on her cheeks. She looked tactical as could be. She was even wearing a pair of black boots. She started walking down the alley and was wrapping her hands with extra fabric from earlier, completing the look.

"Can I just say: You look downright scary." Sleight told Thala from an alley to the side. "I mean, not really the 'hero' kind of look that I thought you'd go for." He was wearing his magician outfit that was dark blue and covered in glitter. He had a short cape hanging from his back and was wearing thick rimmed dark glasses to hide his eyes. All in all he looked quite snazzy, even if it was a bit too flashy, but it suited him in a strange way. He looked almost natural in it. Except for the glasses.

Thala spun around, caught off guard, "Oh, and what do we have here? I think you know a normal hero will only be laughed at. I think I'll need to teach villains fear first." She said, punching her fists together. She wore a big grin, "Seriously though, what brings you?" she asked a little confused.

"Let's just say my conscience overwhelmed me and I was worried about you." Sleight shrugged. "Also, my hooded cloak and scythe is at the dry cleaners so I had to make do with what I had."

Thala laughed, "Well, we best be off or the trouble will get going before we do. Come on." She said, and started down the alley and towards the shop with a good deal of haste.

"Wouldn't that be a shame." Sleight said a little sarcastic as he hurried after Thala to the store.

Thala stuck to the darkness and tried to keep out of sight. Once she spotted the store, she noticed there three cop cars parked outside and the police seemed busy with this and that. "We'll need to cut around back. We don't want to be seen or we'll get arrested." Thala said, trying to see a path to do that.

"Probably a good idea." Sleight agreed. "I think I can get us close."

"You see a way around the cops?" Thala asked, looking more intensely in case she missed something.

"There's a passage you can get to in the back." Sleight said. "Where staff usually enter before everything opens up, you know? We should be able to get there mostly unseen."

"Alright, you know this mall best so lead the way. I'll be right behind you." Thala said, slipping behind Sleight and pushing him forward.

"Okay, okay, I'm going." Sleight said. "I'm not completely sure how to get there, but how hard can it be? Right?" It took a while for them to find the right corridor, but finally got to a passage didn't exited not far behind the store.

"Sweet, we're practically in." Thala said excited. "We'll cut in the back and take the perps by surprise." Thala said, sneaking up to the back door and checking it before going in. It was left unlocked.

"Did I mention that I'm not very good in a fight?" A\Sleight said as he followed after Thala

"Don't worry, I've got enough fight for both of us." Thala said. She then stopped at a a long open hallway, "Ever get the feeling it's too easy?" She asked, putting her fists to her hips.

"I might be thinking for once, but wouldn't the cops have come this way since the door was unlocked and the hall is clear?" Thala said and when she turned around the door slammed behind them.

"I don't suppose the door was on a spring when you opened it?" Sleight whispered.

"Nope, it practically opened itself." Thala said and jumped to push on the door but it wouldn't budge. "We're trapped... Well dang."

"Okay, don't panic." Sleight said. "We were going in the other direction anyway, so let's just keep going, carefully."

"Guess we just need to know our exit seems to be blocked." Thala turned around, "Let's get going." She added with a new dark fervor. She had a serious look on her face as she braved the hall.

"I've always been able to find me way out of a tough spot." Sleight said following after her. "There's always an exit if you're creative enough."

"I like the confidence." Thala said, walking along. It was quiet thus far and nothing of note spare of hum of electricity. The source seemed to be the outlets though. Like they were overcharged. Thala stepped carefully, making sure she didn't activate the trap they were obviously in.

"It's more determination than confidence I'd say." Sleight said following Thala's lead. "Don't loose your cool until there's nothing else to do, kind of thing. Saved my skin a few times."

"Good, you're dependable." Thala said half sarcastically,. The squeak of a speaker turning on froze Thala in place. "Who are you?" Came a slow and low voice over speakers built into the cieling. The two were near the other side of the hallway where a door was waiting and hopefully not locked.
