Put on Your Shades 'Cause I'll be Dancing in the Flames

Ever since Angel had been beat up by some bigots, Aiden had taken to patrolling of sorts. Just to keep an eye out for organized gatherings. How he had managed to squeeze it in between working as a popular bartender, training with his fellow New Mutants, and keeping Angel company was beyond his ability to consider. He just did what needed to be done.

Like tonight.

He had gotten a good idea on where a local chapter of the Friends of Humanity liked to hang out. The Mojoworlder knew about the chapter at Sara and Angel's school, but this was encroaching too close to home. While he could tell the others and they could go be proactive about it, Aiden decided to do this with sneaks and stealth.

He had on his black-lightweight hoodie as he sorted through gear on his side of his bed. While he could produce whatever hand-held weapon of hard-light, he needed help for anything at a distance. Sabotage was the game of the night, so he was carefully choosing projectiles that didn't scream ninja.

He gave Angel's hand a squeeze. The New Mutants hadn't been out and about properly for awhile. He had been doing things like harassing bigots and spying on them to stay sharp. Angel'd get back into the swing of things. He was positive.

He took a breath and concentrated. He had to think a little harder to extend his invisibility beyond himself. It really wouldn't do to have Angel be seen being led by the hand down New Jersey streets.

Once he covered them both, Aiden gave her hand a tug in the direction they needed to go.

One thing Angel was still very good at was being light on her feet. She kept up with Aiden easily. Which did remind her that she needed to call up the Institute and have another pair of boots manufactured for her. These were getting a little worn, and it's not like she could just buy off the shelf.

She felt her heartrate rising, anticipating the action to come.
