Flashback - Formation of the TBolts
It had been a long day of enforcing her lord's will and delivering his justice and Lady Mandarin returned to the base and to her lord. She removed her armor and let the servants take it away. Her arms went out and the two women worked efficiently to remove the clothes she wore. Once she was naked, Lady Mandarin stepped into the hot shower that had been prepared for her.

A few days ago: Sarita

Talia hates to get personally involved. Sometimes its necessary. This is one of those times, lest the Avengers do something rash when subtlety is called for.

The Sandman's daughter - she knew of Sarita through her father's contacts in Symkaria... or did the tracing eventually. Good to keep track of that kind of mercenary.

She waits until she can find the Sand girl alone, whatever sort of B&E is necessary for that.

"Sarita?" she asks, quietly.

	"Dios!" Sarita jumped a bit when she heard the voice, scattering the folder of data she had collected on her father. The surprise was only for a second as her body morphed into bio-sand, ready to strike. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Sarita decides to give the woman a chance to talk.

Talia remains still, not even flinching at the threat. "The others I'm making this offer to are being compensated with money. For you, however... I have a file, to go with a slightly lesser amount of money. I need someone rescued with a minimum of fuss. I can make travel arrangements, but I need specialists with few connections to do the job.

Help me with this, and I will give you what information I have that can help you learn what happened to your father."

Elodie LeBeau had done some thiefwork with her father. Talia had taken notice. The girl had talents, she had stealth, she had just the sort of grey morality that endeared her to Talia's sensibilities.

With far more stealth than even the best of mere human thieves, Talia slips in through the shadows, finding her way to Elodie.

"Elodie LeBeau?"

	The sudden appearance of the strange woman sent El's chair falling backwards, designed to make her look more startled than she was as she absorbed the impact to give her some extra power if it came to a fight. Smoothly, she rolled into a crouch. "Who's asking?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Talia's brow raises, but she doesn't otherwise move or appear hostile. "You can call me the Shroud. I'm here to make you a significant financial offer, as I have need of someone with your skillset, and few connections." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

At the mention of an offer Elodie straightened without letting her guard down.

"I want details before I agreed to anything."

She was glad her dad had spent the ridiculous amount of time that he had teaching her how to keep her appearance and voice steady under pressure because internally she was freaking out. She hadn't broadcasted her mutation, though it wouldn't be hard to figure out around her home town if people were asked questions.

	A few days ago: Bea nightspider 2011-09-27 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	There's someone in her chair. That should be odd enough. What is more odd is that Bea has to see her with her own eyes. Her perceptions didn't warn her, and even Kelly didn't notice someone had broken in when she went to go get cleaned up. But Talia makes her presence known once Bea is in the living room by herself. "We should talk. Ideally, just the two of us." (Reply to this)(Thread)

She doesn't even blink at the drawn gun.

"As you like. You can call me the Shroud. I'm here to offer you a significant amount of money for a good cause. Specifically, a rescue mission. A man following the legacy of the Mandarin has kidnapped and brainwashed a girl. Many people will die if she isn't rescued, and he'll gain control of crime throughout Asia and the west coast. I want to hire you for a rescue mission. You have few enough tethers elsewhere, and skills needed for the mission."

	After a moment, the ASP is tucked away. "Okay, we're interested." This sounds serious, so Bea's not going to haggle over price, but... "What are our assets; what are our liabilities?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kelly tips her chair back... and back... and back, until she's balanced just so, and by all rights, the slightest movement should tip her over - and yet it remains on that precarious perfect ledge as she leans her head back, glancing upside down at Elodie. "Hopefully it'd be a lot of lesbians." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lady Mandarin stood under the hot water of the shower and let the heat seep into her. The sweat and tiredness from enforcing her Lord's will washed down the drain with the water. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"How dare...." Lady Mandarin didn't get to finish the sentence. A rag went over mouth and a moment later her eyes rolled and she started to fall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The compound of the Mandarin was protected by patrols of guard and mystical wards. It was quiet and nothing seemed amiss. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	And just when things seemed peaceful, a barrage of hard sand hit the guards like battering rams. Sarita had slid part way through the door in sand-form and slithered the rest of the way in. She busted the door-mechanism, opening it for Bea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	El turns briefly to strike the ground with her staff using the some of the pent up energy she had captured to make the ground behind them uneven and hopefully hinder their pursuers before lengthening her stride to rejoin the group as they make for the extraction point.
