"You have quite the mouth on you Bumpkin, but I can fix that." Crook said. A portal appeared near the light above them and Sleight's hand came through, he grabbed the light and squeezed it until it broke with a pop and the room was flooded in darkness. "Jump!" He yelled at Thala, grabbing her around the waist with one arm and throwing them both though the window as shots went off. A pile of rubbish bags broke their fall and Sleight was quickly on his feet. "Go! Go!"

Thala got up and checked herself for being shot while on the move. She also checked to make sure if Sleight had been shot.
OOC: Not sure if Thala should have noticed the light. I could go both ways.

ooc: Doesn't matter, she'll figure it out either way soon.
Crook's gang didn't have time to pursue them and even with Sleight's injury they made it quite a distance from the building before he sat down against the wall in a safe alley, breathing deeply as he recovered his breath. His pants were stained with blood almost down to his shoes from the gun wound.

"Dang it." Thala said and immediately put pressure on the wound. She checked to see if the bullet had gone all the way through, "Can I get you to a hospital?" She said, trying to stop the bleeding.

The bullet did go through and the bleeding wasn't too bad, but still bad enough. "There's one a few blocks away." Sleight said. "Let me just rest a sec." He put a hand to his forehead. "Stupid! Why did I think I could do this?"

"Because you wanted something and were willing to do whatever to get it. Neither of us were prepared though." She said solemn as their negative learning experience.

Sleight laughed and he slowly stood back up, mostly using only his good leg. "I guess I'm going to have to go look for a nice box to live in until I can afford another apartment. Sorry about your hundred bucks."

"I'll just let my friend know I was mugged again." Thala said, "First, let's get you to a hospital." She supported his bad side and started towards the hospital.

It was slow going to the hospital and once there the nurse gave one look at him and rolled her eyes. "And what happened to you? No, let me guess, you can't tell my." She said as she cut his pants open around the wound. "And what's this?" She asked taking the hand he didn't put on his forehead earlier. It was badly burned and bleeding from cuts with glass in them.

Thala hadn't noticed it before, too focused on his leg, "We were checking out an apartment. Picked the wrong one, and they didn't like our trespass. We had to escape through a window, though my friend still got shot." Thala lied through her teeth, with a bit of skill in spite.

"Yes, I'm sure." The nurse said not believing her one bit. "And I suppose he burnt his hand when he fell over and grabbed onto a desk lamp?" She cleaned and bandaged his leg and hand. "Wait here, I'm going to get something to help with the pain, you're going to feel it in the morning." She said and left.

"One thing about living in Fin." Sleight laughed. "You get use to the bruises."

"Thanks for taking that bruise for me." She said sincerely before taking a seat to catch her breath. She was still all caught up in the moment.

"Don't mention it." He said waving it away with his good hand. "I guess there's still something left from before I moved here."

Thala just smiled and leaned back in the chair, trying to think on how to grow from this experience.

The nurse brought Sleight a bag of pills and told him how to use it and then they left the hospital, Sleight with a limp. "Well Miss Stone, I guess this is goodbye." Sleight told her in front of the hospital.

"Seems that way." Thala said, "Try not to get robbed anymore." She joked.

"Try not to trust any more strangers you just met." He joked back as he limped away with a wave of his good hand. Heading home to pack up his things.

Thala went back to the precinct, entering through the back door they'd just entered and trying not to be seen. She tried to make her back to her room and change into the overalls again, since her cloths were covered in blood now and she didn't want to have to try to explain it.

ooc: You do remember that Thala is suppose to bring Sleight over to the superhero business right? And so we come to the end of Thala's first day in Fin City! A depressing defeat for our would be heroes. Has Fin already beaten them? Can they recover from a start that hasn't even started. What does the new day have in store for them? Will opportunity knock at the door? Chapter 1 A new day!
There was a knock on Thala's door before she was even done changing into new clothes.

OOC: The best series always start with a two parter episode And they usually lose the first episode. BIC: "Just a moment." Thala said and finished slipping on the overalls. OOC: Going to assume they're patient.

The janitor was waiting for her outside. "I am very impressed." He told her. "You are up early and you didn't make any noise all night." He handed her a bucket with a sponge inside. "I want you to wash the ceilings and walls in all the rooms, including the cells and here in the boiler room and you have to be done by tonight."

Thala grinned quickly, "Thanks and I'll get right on that." she said not letting on how tired she was. She picked up the bucket and left the room.

"Oh, and another thing." The janitor stopped her. "I left some paint at the stairs, the roof has to be painted, there's an inspection tomorrow, so it's very important."

"I'll give it my all sir." she said, not stopping to sigh. Her mind was wracked and her legs still sore, but she knew this would be hard. She tried to think of what preparations she'd need to make to be better prepared for the next fight.

"Now that I mention the inspection." The janitor stopped her again. "There's some broken chairs that needs to be fixed on the second floor. Some broken lights that has to be replaced in the lobby. Inspector Shoe have been complaining about leaky taps in the men's toilets. Also, you need to go fetch the new sign for the roof. Don't worry about the cab fair, I'll pay for it since it's a three hour drive to the edge of the city and three hours back." ooc: I'm warning you, the janitor can think of more.

Thala turned around, "With all due respect sir, that's more then I can do in one day. Can we soured these jobs out over a couple days?" She asked just trying to be calm and respectful about it and barely managing that.
