With great fame, comes great danger
So, they had agreed to go the charity ball.  Heather recognized a few people, she thought.  The mayor, for one.  Maybe a couple local celebrities.  And sadly, a fair amount of media coverage inside, though the team had managed to escape at least some of the attention.

She was carrying  a drink.  Not because she could drink it, but because it at least gave her something to do with her hands.  She was a little uncomfortable, she had to admit, with this much of an overt display of wealth and power.

But it was good for them and good for the city and, more importantly, good for the people they'd helped.  She just had to keep telling herself that.

Cindy was cutting checks somewhere discreet, although she didn't want Saishu out of her sight

Thankfully, keeping Saishu close is easy. She hasn't gotten more than 5 feet from Cindy all night. She's working hard on her English, and its getting easier... as long as only one person is talking at once in a controlled setting.

In a place like this, its a constant aggravation... and no one, including Saishu, likes her when she's angry. So aside from all the other reasons to stick by her girlfriend, of which there's plenty, she sticks especially close to her translator, just trusting that whatever she is doing is important.

"Okay, money stuff's all taken care of," she says in French. "You look gorgeous."

"I feel like I've been stuffed into this.... thing." she responds, looking down at her dress. "How do you move in this, let alone fight? You, on the other hand, look amazing."

"I never was quite as flexible to begin with," Cindy admits.

"Flexible enough." she teases. Got to make the redhead blush now and then - she can't help it, its cute.

And goodness gracious, is she successful there. Cindy goes from businesswoman to lobster in seconds. "thanks"

"Got it in one," Cindy mutters, still flushed.

"I have been trying, thank you." she replies, unable to avoid grinning just a little.
