Un voleur dans la nuit
It was, in her estimation, not exactly a difficult job, though the security system was more advanced than what she was usually used to. But Adrienne had spent a considerable amount of time staking the place out and watching the comings and goings of the people who lived there. More importantly, the plans provided by her employers, along with a few technological extras (she'd waived a portion of her fee in exchange for getting to keep them, in fact), should have made it easy enough.

More importantly, if she had done her work correctly, there was a slight gap in where the external security cameras covered. But you would have to be able to fly, practically, to hit the spot correctly.

Fly... or leap.

She took a step backwards and then ran forward across the roof, leaping at the last second. The strength in her legs was great and it carried her the distance, the suction cups she'd applied to her gloves letting her cling to the building's side. Small tools made short work of the window latch and the security system, and she was able to slip inside.

She looked around and quickly nodded to herself, moving with all stealth. The nice thing about most security systems was that when people were actually there, they tended to run at a much lower level. Perfect. And there was the lab. And someone had even left the door slightly ajar.

Almost too easy. Carefully and quietly, she began to creep inside.

	One helicopter ride later... The warehouse her employers were using was spartan enough, but perhaps that was how people like that had such money as they were paying her, by not spending it on frivolous things. She kept a careful hand on her pack. No sense in being incautious. Ah, good. Her contact among the group. "I, how you say, have got it." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"You live up to your reputation, Mademoiselle Batroc." The man who hired her stepped forward, an intimidating Asian man close behind him. "Were there any difficulties?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, non," she said. "Zere were a few heroes, but zey were nothing I could not handle." "I assume you have my payment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A few heroes? I'm assuming you weren't followed," Drax replied, a hint of coldness to his tone. "I do. Chang." The Asian man stepped forward, holding out a suitcase. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course not," she said. "I am a professional." She moved her pack slightly and unzipped it, so that the device could be seen. "Open it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chang looked at Drax for confirmation, who gave a nod, and Chang opened the suitcase, showing the money. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nodded. "Good." She removed the device from her back. "Now, just what is zis little bauble for which you have paid so much?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That, madame, is zero point energy within a containment module. Clean, efficient energy, very useful," Drax informed. Chang walks up with the suitcase and to take the module. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A subtle, nagging feeling was beginning to rise up in Adrienne as she took the suitcase. "Industrial espionage, oui?" She shook her head. "I know, I know, no questions. Forget zat I ask." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chang took the module and began walking back to Drax. "Quite alright, Mademoiselle Batroc. In all honesty, we're making a bomb," Drax replied frankly. Drax took the module from Chang. "Of course saying that..now you have to die." Hydra soldiers spring from their hiding places, guns at the ready. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Though he's still feeling a little light-headed and banged around, Martin is still up for teleporting the team to the location Anya's tracking device had the intruder at right now.

In a giant whoosh of blue flame, the Thunderbolts appear, ready for action.

Martin wastes no time picking his target. "You!" The kicker! Not even aiming at the other guys there, with a thrust of his palm, the very disheveled looking mage sends a wave of large blue discs straight at the leaping Frenchwoman. No way was he letting her jump out of the way this time.

	"You're the girl who beat up my best friend and ruined my apology present!" Jack all but shakes a fist over his head, save for that both hands are busy hurling web-lines at the horrible girl. Oh. "Uh... guys... there's a lot more bad guy here than we were expecting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That doesn't belong to you," Iron Girl said and swooped in to grab her ZPE module. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny's ready for action when they get there, though he notices there are a lot more people there. "Plans?" And then Martin, Jack, and Anya attack. "Right, plans, what was I thinking?" He thought aloud as he ran towards some Hydra troops, their bullets bouncing off his armored hide. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Finders keepers, Stark-lackey," Drax replied contemptuously. That's when a Hydra Mandroid appeared, moving to strike Anya. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There was no way Kelly was going to miss this. She was out and about on the town when the theft took place - but hurried back when she heard there was a chance for some reverse theft, and possibly a lot of gunplay.

"Tsk, have you learned nothing? We don't call it 'more bad guys than we were expecting, we call it a target rich environment."

She opens fire. Rubber bullets and all, but they can still do some serious damage, and cover a wide area.

	"Zut alors!" Adrienne yelled, trying to dodge out of the way. One of the disks struck home, knocking her down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bull's eye! Now that the others have lept off the disc, Martin is a bit more free. More magic discs are conjured up and sweeping arm movements send them barreling in the direction of any bad guys that come between him and his target. She had kicked him! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya hit the speed to dodge the mandroid's swipe. She turned and delivered a powerful repulsor blast at the mandroid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack leaps the ceiling, then comes down at the Mandroid after Anya's attack, trying to coat it with webbing to block whatever sensors it has. "You're next... woman!" He glares at the girl who beat up Martin, wishing he had caught her name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kelly lets the others play dibs with Giselle, the French Bitch, or whoever she is. She's having too much fun getting to go full auto on a whole field of targets, to the point of doing her best Rambo impression, pose and all while firing the heavy artillery. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Their attention focused on the bad guys, Adrienne bounced to her feet. Terrorist bombs were not what she had signed up for. "Have at you, you honorless cow-ards!" she shouted, as she launched a jump kick at the nearest HYDRA soldier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny's careful not to hit too hard as he bowls into the Hydra soldiers, knocking them all over the place. He does note that their thief seems to be on their side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Drax curses, but at least everyone seemed occupied. "Come on, Chang. We're leaving." Drax and his bodyguard try to make their exit during the ensuing melee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
