RP POST: Gotham at Night

Phoenix hasn't felt this good in a while.

A successful date with a wonderful woman. He hasn't been in the dating market for years; had been afraid to put his toe back in ever since the fiasco with Dahlia. But tonight? Tonight he's had a terrific time, and there's a definite possibility of a repeat visit. He feels GREAT.

He should be tired and yet has energy to burn, so he decides to check out Gotham some more. He's not stupid, mind; he keeps to the well-lit streets with lots of people, and his PINpoint is in his pocket in case of emergency. So far, however, Gotham doesn't seem to be living up to its reputation as a place of danger; on the contrary, it seems very normal and citylike.

It's getting late. But... a little longer couldn't hurt.

It took the clone a while to learn where Phoenix was headed off to, but when he did, he immediately went to planning on his scheme. He can't off his 'double' if Phoenix was around to be suspicious, and of course the two-tit tessie had to go for that light. The teen zipped up the ill-gotten varsity jacket as he glanced out the Gotham Alleyways - waiting for the right girl to snatch.

Once a selected target was within reached, he quickly snatched the petite blond from the street and into the alley, not bothering to even clamp his hand over his mouth. "Keep screaming, missy, if you know what's good for you." He hissed into her ear as she thrashed, and kicked at him, unable to do more then give glancing blows to the inhuman attacker.

If he's right, Lawyerboy will come running right into trouble.

Phoenix freezes as he hears the scream, looking around. Didn't anybody else hear that? If they did, they didn't seem inclined to do anything. Some were even rushing faster.

Goddamn city apathy. He was never good at developing that sense.

The screaming continues, the sound of a woman in distress. Damnit, he can't just stand around doing NOTHING. He dashes into the alley he heard the scream from. "Hey! Hey, I don't know what you're doing back there, buddy, but I'm calling the cops on your ass!" he shouts angrily. He looks around, hoping to find something he can use if the guy decides to do anything untoward.

The girl ran past Phoenix, and nearly tripped as her heel broke. "Help me please!" She called out as she turned around to see if the attacker was following her.

A figured approached, slumped over, hands in pocket. "Heh, I just wanted a little fun, missy - don't quite out on me." He sneered, or least was probably sneering in the dark alley.

Phoenix goes to help her. "It's okay, ma'am don't worry. Just keep running. I'll keep him busy." He nods to her and turns back to the alley.

"You've got a nasty sense of fun, buddy. Maybe you should considering looking into something that WON'T land you in jail." He stares down the alley. He's not sure what's going to happen, but he keeps his hand hovering over the pocket with his PIN in it. Once the girl's well out of the way, he definitely is going to have to think about his own butt.

He can't make the guy out in this light, though. Come on, just a little closer so he can identify him...

"Everyone's a critic, you should remove that Sequoia out of your ass."

The figure crouched, and immediately flew at Phoenix, moving to slam the man either against the wall, or floor - to knock him senseless before he can pull out the flashlight or pen.

Phoenix is flat on his back before he even realizes what's happened. Winded, he tries to catch his breath as his mind reels to catch up with what's just happened. How could anybody move that fast?

Even as his mind slowly processes what a world of shit he's in, he can't do much else until his breath comes back.

The grin on the clone's face grew wider as he hoisted the stunned lawyer over his shoulder. "Let's see... I can go Sicilian and cut your finger off to show people you're missing... but I hate blood." The teenager's tone was undecipherable. "Maybe I can hack off your hair, or hang that stupid light of yours out to dry."

"First you, then blubber boy, the two-tit tessie, and my disgustingly weak donator, then I am free to go my own."

Phoenix feels like a rag doll as he's suddenly slung over the clone's shoulder. It takes a minute for his words to sink in, and when they do his heart sinks into his stomach.

[No... NO! He can't use me for that!]

His movements are slow and muddied, but he still tries to get to his pocket. He's got to get OUT of here. He can't handle this guy on his own, he's already established that!

With that, he quickly flew them to the nearest portal, wishing 'Final Countdown' as he did so. "Don't even think about PINing out, or I will zap a finger off."

Phoenix's hand stops moving. He wants to cry right now. How could such a perfect evening end like this...
