Thread: Rising Powers (Alvis Alendran & Raina Reader)

Sassa heard the cops kicking in the door. She was supposed to be gone by now but the detour with the other theif meant that she was way behind schedule. It wasn't easy for someone her size to fade away, but she'd manage. She was padding away as quickly as she could while staying quiet. Cops were swarming in, and why not? As far as they knew there was some kind of terrorist or the like in the building that had used explosives to get in. Sassa was looking for an exterior door, something that would let her slip out quieter than a repeat performance of her imitation of the Kool-aid Man. She smiled as she saw an emergency exit. Normally not her first choice, but hey, the alarms were going off, what would it matter? She bumped hte door open, and stepped out. Bright light hit her, adn she staggered back, noting that she was under a spotlight from a police chopper. Drop your weapons, and lay down on the ground! A voice boomed out over the sound of the beating blades of the chopper. Sassa opted for another option. She punched the wall to shatter off a chunk of brick, and heaved it intot he sky. The sound of breaking glass spelled the end of the spotlight. She started to run. Dressed in black on a dark night, it was hard to track her, but she knew that cops would be everywhere in no time at all. The ground was still shaking under her tread, but it was hard for someone like her to move fast and not have that problem. When things had changed for her, her weight had changed. And it was a lot to take in now. She was about to dart across the street when a bullet smashed intot he ground beside her. Freeze! he voice roared from behind her. Sassa didn't hesitate. She wrapped her hands around a nearby parking meter and ripped it out of the ground. There was a sound of choked surprise, but Sassa simply turned adn threw it back at her pursuer. There was a shriek, and the cop dove aside, while Sassa bolted. She hadn't thrown it very hard, not looking to kill anyone, just scare them. She was smiling, going to make it tot he alley that would take her to safety. A car skid to a halt in front of her, and she saw a door start to open, a cop about to jump out to try and stop her, so she ducked, and put her shoulder intot he car. Stopping in front of her like that probably had seemed like a good idea, had she been a normal person. Sassa, however, was not a normal person by now. The car weighed almost two tons, but she hammered into it with enough force to cave in the side and slide it away from her. She heaved at it while she was still in contact, the car creaking and finally flipping onto it's side. Sassa made it into the alley, and vanished, leaving the confused and more than a little terrified police behind. Sassa relaxed in her chair. She'd had it made custom, all tubular steel construction and reinforced to support her. It was nice to have something she could recline in without worrying. The news was on, and she wanted to know if she should be worried. She smiled as they descibed her as what was likely a tall black male wearing a ski mask, considered armed and extremely dangerous. What was more, there was a report that she'd been there with a partner, someone that had managed to fool the security cameras into losing sight of him. The video was played, showing a person being on camera, and then not. Trick it might be, but it made Sassa lean forward. It was a good trick. And it was one that made her wonder. Her...she was reluctant to all them a foe, since there didn't seem to be too much real animosity there, so she settled on competitor, had been skilled, and vanished like that. Was it possible that...there was someone else out there that might have changed like she had? It was something to wonder about. To pay attention to.
