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.

Angel dropped from the ceiling as she took his hand.

She gave it a little squeeze to let him know she was ready.

With a known body part in hand, Aiden willed his invisibility power to cover them both. They weren't safe yet, but he thought it was kind of nice to have a mission go off without a bodily injury happening.

He gently tugged on Angel's hand to get her closer so they both could go out the door. He would drop the invisibility when they got back to his bike.

"Almost there," he mumbled.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Angel could hardly keep the smile off her face. That had been entirely too much fun and, if she was forced to admit it, extremely therapeutic.

She gave his hand a reassuring squeeze as she kept up with him.
