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

[sonoflongshot]

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.

Okay, she was probably going to enjoy this a little too much. But though her specific recollections of that night were dim, she was fairly certain that this wasn't one of the ones who had attacked her.

A shame really. But she wasn't sure she could have held back if it had been.

Instead, she went for a quick tap on one shoulder and then, when his attention and balance were fully focused that way, gave just enough of a shove to make him stumble.

The man started to trip over something in the dark but caught his balance. Then someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned just in time to see no one there before he was shoved.

He shouted in alarm as he stumbled.

Aiden heard the hubbub in the other room die down. He gave her tail a gentle tug to get her against the wall. They needed to move out of the way before the hallway got crowded.

Angel pressed herself flat against the wall, holding her breath, barely daring to blink.

A couple of the men from the meeting room came out to see what the commotion was. They walked past the invisible couple without so much as touching them.

The yanked wires finally overloaded. Aiden heard the big zapt as the rest of the bakery plunged into darkness. There were startled yells from the meeting room.

He tugged gently on Angel's tail to head that way. Now was the time to cause the most chaos in the dark.

Angel's yellow eyes were perfect for night vision. Even in the dark, she could still see just fine.

She followed the tug. She was really going to enjoy this. God spoke against an eye for an eye, but well, mischief was hardly a beating.
