Guns, guns, guns... and hamburgers
A girl needs to eat. After that whole Weapon X thing went belly up, it took her a while to tap into Daddy's contacts to find a job, but Rose Red, whoever she is, pays awfully well. Right now Crosshairs is being paid awfully well to keep track of a meeting between some people working for the Kingpin. Dangerous business, but what does she care?
Sure, odds she'll get to play with her babies on this one are limited, but c'est la vie... that'll come once she proves herself on recon.

And hey, as long as she has to keep an eye out for a particular couple of thugs, she might as well wander across the street to some burger place. Big Nick's - smells good, but she doesn't know the place. Plenty of window seating, anyway. After all, now that she has a source of income, and needs to do stakeout duty anyway, a girl's gotta eat.

Melissa curses at herself under her breath for being clumsy, especially with her guns in a crowded place. Dad would kick her ass if he knew she was packing heat in public, let alone what she planned to do tonight.

But Dad wasn't here to stop her and that was part of the problem.

"Hi." she says, trying to reach for her purse before the other girl can get to it. All she needs is a Regular Jane finding out she's got guns to turn this place upside down. Someone will call the cops and then she's got to call Diane and explain this one.

Diane would kill her if she managed to get arrested again.

"Sorry, but I've got to meet...my friend. Anniversary, you know. Something special to give him." Melissa lies succinctly.

John King isn't her friend, but she does have a couple of special surprises for him.

	She sidles in closer. If she were any closer, Melissa would be wearing her. But its good for not spilling secrets, as she leans in to whisper. "Ooohhh, is that anniversary present .33 or .45 caliber? Can I come along and make it a threesome?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The combination of the closeness and whispering throws Melissa's brain off completely, and she has to wonder if King is already on to her or if she's just come across a random loon who wants to...what? She doesn't know.

A scene will draw attention to her guns and she can't ignore whoever this is, so she's got to play along.

"Dual AMT Hardballers, .45 caliber, course. It'd be a foursome, and I don't share my burger or my toys, usually. You'd have to bring your own." Melissa grins, looking her up and down as space permits.

THAT ought to scare this chick off. Telling people you actually do have a gun usually makes them head for the hills as fast as they can.

Ooohhh, pillow-talk already. She keeps leaning on Melissa, eyeing her for signs of any concealed holsters.

"Of course I'd bring my own toys to the party. Dual Ruger P97, polymer frame, quick load clips, hollow points loaded, but if you're the kinda girl who insists on playing with protection, I got some steel jackets in my coat... and a Python in my pants." she adds, just in case two guns weren't going to be enough for this girl.

Melissa has to work hard to keep the shock off of her face at the mention of each of the guns this girl is talking about. She owns one of each of those herself, but she almost never brings them out with her. Those are the heavy firepower, and she doesn't have them enchanted like her current weapons.

She didn't know if she liked this chick yet, but she at least knew how to keep it interesting. Her lips turn up in a smile at the mention of the python in her pants and she looks down again.

"I bet you say that to all the girls you meet." she says. "But I'll believe it when I see it."

"If you're bringing your own party favors, I don't think my friends will mind. We're a 'more-the-merrier' sort of bunch." Melissa says.

She's not wearing her thigh-holster tonight, but there is a bulge from another weapon inside her coat.

"My best work is done without prying eyes. You getting something to eat, or are we leaving?" Melissa asks.

Crosshairs, on the other hand, has a subtlety score of negative lots, and she knows what she likes - and this girl has a purse and concealed holster full of it. That instantly makes her fantasy material or something.
She turns about, wiggling her ass just a little, and pulling her jacket aside briefly to demonstrate the pistol hidden there, then bends over the counter, relaying her order as she bumps back against Melissa.
"Grabbing some food, since you don't share your burger, then I'm ready to roll. Sounds like a party to me."

What did I just get myself into? Melissa thinks, seeing this newcomer is indeed packing at least some of the heat she said she was. If she wasn't lying about that, then she might be on the level about the other stuff.

Melissa grins outwardly at Crosshairs' bumping against her, as Jimmy at the counter looks at both women as if he's just died and gone to Heaven. He'd probably quit his job now and offer to go soak bullets if one of them asked him right.

She lets her new friend order and considers that she doesn't know her name.

"What should I call you tonight?" Melissa asks.

	Crosshairs orders her burger, turning about to brush up against her, happy enough to play up to the poor counter guy's fantasies, feeling up Melissa's... holster. "You can call me Kelly all night long." she replies coyly, leaning in to whisper again. "Long as you don't run out of ammo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Crosshairs will feel the slender firmness of a...knife against Melissa's ribcage as she brushes up against her.

"All right, Kelly. Call me Jane, and I've got enough ammo for both of us. Try to keep up. Find me in the alley across the street in ten minutes." Melissa grins...then turns and saunters toward the door.

Just because she's already hamming it up enough, she turns and offers "Kelly" a parting gaze, then leans on the door and walks out of Nick's, heading toward the alley in question.

If nothing else, Kelly's presence makes it twenty on two, instead of twenty on one. Could be worse, right?

Kelly casts a longing gaze back, even licking her lips and playing it up for the guys, or something. Ooohhh, guns /and/ silverware, and she was nice enough to let Kelly feel up her hardware.

She turns back to get her food, quickly asking after who the girl is, since the counter guy seems to know her. Armed with food and suitable information, she skips back out. Ok, no, so its not subtle, so?

As soon as she's outside though, she's all business. There's no thought, just a moment to get moving, hit the cover of the shadows, and she's free running. Across the street, just beating out the garbage truck running her over, bounce onto a car hood, swing off a lamp post, flip onto the fire escape, then a few more bounces up to the rooftop. Time to see if she can see the gang she's expecting, then try and locate the chick with the guns. Couldn't be an accident they're both right here and so well armed, right?

She was originally just going to observe the drop, try and pick up some information, but hey, if someone else starts the shooting, its not her fault if she's dragged into a gunfight, totally not her fault.

While Kelly was making her way over to the rooftop, Melissa ate her burger, then pulled off her long coat reveal a crimson cape underneath. She adjusts the sheathe for her knife, then starts checking over her guns. King isn't smart enough to have real underworld help, but it helps to be prepared.

When Kelly does get to the rooftop, she'll see "Jane" there, already checking her guns.

"Nice to see you made. If you want to back, now's the time. Oh, and what are your views on murder?" she asks, as if she just asked who she voted for in the last election.

Crosshairs wolfs down her burger, finishing the last mouthful while she's apparently disassembling her belt buckle, then her shoulder pads, then fishing through her multiple concealed pockets, assembling something that looks like a Power Rangers accessory as she goes, until she's loading the clip into her pink sniper rifle.

"Eh, it gets boring quick if you don't have some variety. Now mass murder... there's a hobby."

"I'm not usually a fan of pink, but you might have just won me over." Melissa says, looking at the sniper rifle.

"And yes, all but one of these mouth breathers needs to die tonight...so don't hold back on my account." she says, finishing the weapons check.

Melissa then pulls up the hood on the cape and Kelly will notice a change come over her newfound acquaintance. As Jane's face disappears into the shadows of the cloak, her eyes become a glowing crimson and she seems to stand a little straighter.

But the biggest change is in her voice, which becomes several octaves deeper and more distorted, as if two people are talking at the same time...through a bad phone connection.

"Ready?" Jane asks, lifting both her guns.

"I was born ready... except... see, we got the same targets, different objective. I was sent to get some information off these guys. Its fine if I pull it off their corpses, but I got strict instructions not to shoot first... my boss knows me." she pouts.

"But as soon as the ammo starts flying, baby, I'm allowed to defend myself in any manner I see fit... so kill whoever you want, I'll keep an eye on things til someone issues my personal invitation to the party." she agrees.

Crazy? Yes. Professional enough to follow instructions, even if she bends them? Also yes.

"John King is in there, and I want him dead, but I think he's got info on Kingpin's next shipment schedule. I'm going to need that, too." she says, wondering who Kelly is working for.

"If your boss has any openings and needs an extra gun, let me know. I got no problems sending Fisk's people back to him in body bags." Melissa says.

"And don't worry. I'm sure you'll get to join in when you're ready."

"Aside from strict orders from someone you don't say no to, I was ready back at the restaurant." she coos playfully. Flirting and gunplay, two great tastes that should totally get each other's chocolate in the other's peanut butter.

"I'll talk to her... later... maybe much later. We can talk after we ventilate... whasssisname... King. This a personal thing so I should let you do it, or can I put holes in people indiscriminately? Well, aside from you, of course."

Probably.
