Jester had been sneaking through the mall. She had been restless for the entire week. The house just seem so...small. And kind of eerie. She didn't like it.
So she had gone out to see if there was anything to help her calm down. Maybe actually take a chance to get some sleep. But sleep had not claimed her.
She had a few bucks stuffed into her pants as she scooted across the beam. She was currently over the comic book store, peering out of the vent.

Viper stood in the comic store, propped against a wall, reading a Spiderman comic book. He'd been bored, and he knew the comic store's security like the back of his hand. So he'd sneak in and read every now and then.
Suddenly, he looked around, feeling as though he was being watched. He saw no one, but he smelled someone nearby, though it was faint. Suddenly, he sneezed. He shrugged and went back to his comic.

Joy jumped and kicked open the vent, shooting off...well...she had grabbed a teddy bear a few stores over for no real reason. She aimed it and began firing at the sound of the sneeze. From the bear's foot came cloth-covered stuffing, followed by more white stuffing.

He jumped, his suit suddenly being pelted by...cotton. Cotton assaulting him at high speeds. They did little to his padded suit, but his bare face was cut a little by a stray piece. And his comic was torn to shreds. He sighed. "That was a rare edition..." He reached into his belt and chucked a couple of his special black grenades in the direction of the...cotton-fire.

Joy backed up, letting out a yelp as something landed in the vent. It exploded, causing her--along with half of the vent--to fall on the ground. She let out a groan, coughing. "Oww..." she groaned, rolling to the side. She was lucky that damn fall didn't kill her. Or cause a black out. She didn't feel like dying again. It was always a pain. Dying. She always seemed to wake up with no recollection of what had happened. Or like when she blacked out. But usually that wasn't as...weird.

He looked, just...staring at the girl and the fallen vent. Then he saw the bear. He scratched his head, not noticing that her little fall set off the alarm. "You shot me...with a teddy bear?!?" he asked, more bewildered and surprised than angry.

She shrugged, coughing as she stood up. "Yeah..." She wiped away some of the black smoke. "Well, I could have shot you with a gun, but a teddy bear is much safer." She held up the half-stuffed teddy bear. "You tossed a grenade at me," she added, rubbing her head. Her muscles ached--especially her back. "God...That hurt like hell." She looked up. "We should probably go before the Antidote catches us."

"You scared me," he explained. "Shooting at me from a vent? We're in a little comic store, how would they--" Then he heard the alarm. "Oh...shit. Let's go." He took off running, making sure she was right there. Suddenly, he picked up on someone else's presence. A group, actually. "Hurry...we've got company," he hissed at her quietly.

She ran after him, sticking close to him. Whoever he was, he was a hottie. She nodded, trusting his instincts. She had learned that other Abnormals were trustworthy to a point. She aimed her teddy bear. "Can you tell me where they are?" she whispered to him. "I can try and take some of them down."

"Okay, but we'll need to make it fast. There's a bunch of 'em." He had a pair of smoke bombs ready, motioning to where a few were hiding. He turned the opposite direction, making a noise in his throat that sounded sort of like a snort. In reality, he was extracting from his venom gland. He spit just as an Antidote trooper slipped out, gun aimed, hitting him right in the eyes.
The man fell blinded, and Ty tossed the smoke bombs in two different directions before grabbing the girl's free arm and running. She was hot, but now just wasn't the time.

Joy fired with the teddy bear. Sure, it wasn't a great weapon, but it worked. She dropped it when it ran out of "ammo" and grabbed her gun, firing off a few shots as she was drug along by the guy. She was firing a little wildly when her pistol ran out of shots too. "I'm out," she said quietly to him. "Tell me you have a plan?"

He looked at her as they got outside, and he tossed her his 9mm. "Uh...actually...this is the plan..." He kept running with her, and eventually reached an abandoned warehouse, and ducked inside without being seen.
He sat on the floor. "That was a close one," he muttered. "Name's Viper, by the way."

She sat next to him, panting. "Yeah...That was a close one..." She sucked in a breath, trying to steady her pounding heart. "You can call me Jester..." She held out a hand.

He shook her hand. "Nice to meet you. Well, that was one hell of a ride," he joked, lying down on the floor.

She laughed. "Yeah, it was. Well, looks like you and I are gonna be stuck here all night." She stood up and stretched. "So, good night." She smiled and walked over to another part of the room.
