I got a tortured mind and my blade is sharp. A bad combination in the dark
The objective was breathtakingly simple: Take out a warehouse full of black market weapons and tech that the bad guys had been using as a cache, but do it to a) leave a message and b) not be traced back to the good guys. Beautiful, direct. It was also much easier on paper than it looked on a rooftop adjacent to said warehouse.

"You know, I'm spotting some actual security on this place, instead of the usual. Cameras, floodlights, hell, even the armed guards look alert. Smart grunts, that's new."

The redhead was pretty specific - the actual goods in the warehouse were penny ante, but she wanted to know who these guys were getting their supplies from. No one moved black market goods into the region without cutting the Kingpin in. Given the level of security though, this wasn't a job for street thugs - so she called Kelly in. Any means necessary - interrogation, hacking records, finding numbers in a cel phone... but figure out who these guys were working with... and otherwise, have some fun with it.

Speaking of fun... huh, who's that on that adjacent rooftop? Looks like someone else is scoping the place out. She gets a running start, barely making it across the wide gap between buildings. Sure, she knows how to roll with the jump and fall just fine, no big deal. But the broken leg from intentionally landing wrong sends a jolt of adrenaline through her, and is healed by the time she makes her way to the brunette.

"You don't look like one of theirs. So, looks like a party, huh?"

Frances was about pack it up and move it when a motion out of her peripheral caught her attention. When the incoming object became a woman that just jumped across the gap, she did consider the handgun tucked away. Brushing off her suit, she smirked crookedly and shook her head at the question.

"Nope, I'm hopefully prettier than theirs," she agreed. This woman was obviously meta of some sort, judging from the landing, and by how she was dressed, probably here for similar intentions. "Well I am looking to light up the place. What brings you to this neck of the woods?"

	"Hey, if you want to go for a drink after this, first few rounds are on me. Your choice of 'my tab' or 'bodyshots' definition of on me. Don't worry about staying out of my way. Shoot with extreme prejudice, I'll be fine, and enjoy the show up close." she replies, catching the com out of the air and putting it on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She whistles and shrugs. "Well, if that isn't incentive enough to finish this up neat and sweet, I can't think of anything. Go play nice." "Where have you been all my ops?" she mutters under her breath and grins, grabbing the rifle case and settling to a prime spot for her half of the deal. Time to drop some bad guys.

	Kelly leaps off the rooftop, rolling with the impact below. Even with the roll, the multi-story drop should be a risk - but she seems to be up and moving again within moments. She's quick and quiet, clearly having had some stealth training as she approaches the front lines. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Frances scans ahead of the package to ensure a quick entrance. She starts with the warehouse's own rooftop pigeons, clearing out the early warning when others start dropping. There's four ahead of the woman, so she picks the furthest off first so the closer ones don't sound the alarm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hm, guns and blades. Frances gives a click back on the comms to confirm she saw the count, then sweeps again. If she drops too many too fast, they'll be onto the two of them. Instead she checks the vehicles, gives a few a flat tire in case there's a retreat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kelly continues to move point to point, trusting the sniper to deal with the watchers from above while she hits sniper points. She sets two more explosives, syncing them with the first, and each time, flashes a quick signal of the time remaining. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well they will certainly be leveling the warehouse, anything within that much plas will be slagged nicely. Shit, motion from deeper inside. "Next corner, eight," she warns quietly and shifts to get ready. That many need to be dropped, fast. She waits just long enough for them to all be away from the corner before she starts picking them off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do it as soon as I hit the truck. Too soon will have guards on me." she agrees. Kelly goes into parkour mode, sprinting the distance, hitting the crates in stride, bouncing from one to the next, and a backflip from the top onto the truck. A short sprint later, she's heading for the window and getting ready to jump. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shifts and waits for the right moment, training on the woman to time this right. Running, crates, truck and coiled for high jump. Frances hits the window with three bullets to weaken and shatter. With the window compromised, she sees a surprised suit reaching for under his jacket. She puts one in his shoulder before the window's occupied with the jumper. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was figuring I'd give you my number, and you can call when you're ready to go celebrate our victory... and massive explosions. Always worth celebrating those. Besides, I believe I owe you some body shots." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Frances grins back, not losing eye contact as her mystery partner gave her a good bye present. "He's not going to be very talkative if I accidentally drop him." "Cross my heart, you'll hear from me soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kelly nods. "Looking forward to it." she replies, talking while lingering in the distinct flirtatious invasion of personal space. Then she hands over her prisoner, officially, backing off, and going running and leaping off the sniping rooftop. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	She shrugs, liking this plan more and more. "And who can resist a body shot offer from you? Alright, I'll get Humpty Dumpty from you then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
