Trying that outside life thing...
With the summer stretching ahead of her, Sammy had to do something other than help clean the hydrobase and train. She told her parents she wanted the summer to relax and suspected relaxing meant a little more than wasting a few thousand rounds at the shooting range. A girl didn't get a life with a pair of noise-canceling headphones on.

She found her first outside activity in the paper. Rooftop Films seemed like it might be fun, and it was something she didn't need a date to see. The open bar afterward would be decided on when the time came.

This had to be some sort of publicity stunt, but ... pies?

What kind of pie? No, stop thinking that.

"You, uh, stay here." Sammy grabbed onto Qamar's elbow to steady him and help get the pie tin off his face. "I'm going to push that guy off the roof." Or freeze time, yank his pants down around knees, push his face into the floor and tie his hands behind his back with his own mask. Maybe.

	"I've got it," he replies, pushing her back from helping him. "You go to work." He begins to make his way to the bathroom amid the people running away from the pies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They were running too. Like cream pies were dangerous. Since the guy was having so much fun from way up there, Sammy grabbed a couple of bottles as she made her way though the crowd, and pitched one at him to get his attention. "Hey!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh she had his attention alright. He saw the bottle and turned it into a butterfly.

He was still singing.

"More swift than lightening can I flye,
and round about this airy welkin soone,
And, in a minute's space, descry
each thing that's done beneath the moone;
There's not a hag
Nor ghost shall wag,
Nor cry "goblin!" where I doe goe,
But Robin I
Their feats will spye,
And feare them home with ho, ho, ho!"

He threw two pies right at the woman.

	She stopped time as the pies were flying, and moved around to a position behind him and out of his view. She let the timeout go and threw another bottle. "Hey!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He was hit with the bottle and turned to see where it came from. "Now that wasn't very nice. You could have hurt me." He waved a hand with a flourish and the beer bottles in her hand turned into more butterflies. He waved his hand again and her clothes were turned into a clown suit. Big shoes, red nose and face paint were all there.

"If any wanderers I meet
that from their night-sports doe trudge home,
With counterfeiting voyce I greet
and cause them on with me to roame,
Through woods, through lakes,
Through bogs, through brakes, --
Ore bush and brier with them I goe;
I call upon
Them to come on,
And wend me, laughing ho, ho, ho!"

	Thank you, God, the crowd was gone. Sammy glared up and swiped the rubber nose off her face. Sirens in a distance said they'd have company soon. "If you wanted to do Shakespeare, that's not until next week in the park," she shot back, reaching down to her boots...oh hell. No boots. No knife. "How about you come down here and we'll talk about it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_rgoodfellow 2009-06-22 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Shakespeare! That wasn't Shakespeare! Fool!" He threw a pie at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The pie explodes before it can strike. Nightingale leaps down towards the combat, having just flung a small white metal moon-shaped crescent towards the pie to shatter it before it could find its target. "Pies? Truly?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Saved the indignity of a pie splattered clown outfit, not much better than the costume itself, Sammy tripped over the oversized shoes getting out of the way. Growling, she began to strip it all off. Her underwear and camisole were still the same, so that helped. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Would you rather have me throw bottles like the clown over here?" he said and motioned toward the woman.

He threw a pie at the woman in white.

"From hag-bred Merlin's time have I
thus nightly reveld to and fro:
And, for my pranks, men call me by
the name of Robin Good-fellow:
Fiends, ghosts, and sprites
That haunt the nights,
The hags and goblins doe me know,
And beldames old,
My feats have told,
So Vale, Vale, ho, ho, ho!"

And he disappeared.

	Nightingale turns her blank face towards Sammy for a moment... apparently missing the incoming pie, which strikes her in the face. She removes the pie and tosses the plate aside, turning to look at Sammy again. "What was that?" she asks. She tears her small cape off her shoulders and offers it to Sammy.

Sammy was glaring at the empty air when Nightingale's voice diverted her focus. She took the cape, folded it on the bias and tied the ends around her waist. "Thanks. I don't know what he was, if it was even a he. Time to hit the files to see if he shows up."

She blew out a sigh. "Glad you're here. I don't suppose you have a cell phone on you? My phone and wallet disappeared with my clothes."

	She pauses. "I can get you one quickly. Are you hurt?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just my pride." Enough with the Dad glares. It was over and done. "I need to call for a ride and get the teasing over with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-06-23 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	She nods. "Stay safe." She dissolves into mist and vanishes into the night. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Uh.... a phone?"

Now Sammy could hear sirens. Well, one of them would a phone. That was probably what Nightingale meant. There would be police, slow as they were when no gunfire was involved. It wouldn't exactly be her finest hour to be found half naked and decorated like a clown.

Maybe somebody left a phone behind when they ran. She started looking around for one.

	Qamar comes out of the men's room, his face soaking wet and yet still smeared with pie cream. "Sammy!" He averts his eyes when he sees that she's shirtless, and he slides out of his jacket and hands it over. "There's a phone in the pocket." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-23 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks. That's scary, huh?" she joked as she took the jacket and put it on. "The villain was kind enough to leave my unmentionables alone. Have you been in there the whole time?" Pocket search. There is a phone! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-06-23 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "I was trying to get the pie off, and I wanted to stay out of your way." He keeps his eyes averted until the jacket is on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-23 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	She punched in a phone number. "Whatever it was seemed to just be looking to cause a little trouble." When the other end picked up, Sammy gave her location and asked for an immediate pick-up. She closed it and handed it back to Qamar. "Are you all right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-06-23 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm fine," he nods. "Can I help you get somewhere to get cleaned up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Her eyes crossed as she tried to look at her face. All she could glimpse were patches of white and red. Why couldn't it have been HYDRA?

"If you have any secret teleporting powers, now would be a good time to come out of the closet. I'd really like to be in my shower before anybody sees me." C'mon, dammit, smile so the night isn't a total loss. "I'll make at stop at the ladies' room before my ride gets here and sneak out before the cops see me."

	He gestures to the door across the hall. "I'll wait here. If he comes back, I'll warn you by having my clothes changed into a squirrel-costume or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-23 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	After the entire evening, it would take the mental image of Qamar in a squirrel costume to make her laugh. "Kinky. Okay, I'll only be a minute." Pause. "Thanks. For staying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
