Anger Management [Open to All]

[Deleted]

"Why couldn't you save us?"

Elodie sat up in her bed, gasping for breath as she struggled to calm herself down, feeling her heart beating at what seemed like a hundred miles per hour. Moe glanced up from his doggie bed near her, his eyes looking at her before he got up and on her bed, laying down next to her and licking her hand. You're okay, you're okay. Elodie thought as Moe whined, trying to comfort his owner. Finally, after what seemed like hours, Elodie felt herself calming down and she gingerly petted Moe's head, thankful for his comfort. Sleep often eluded her, but the rare times she was able to get some sleep was plagued with nightmares.

I have to get up. I have to go out, Elodie thought as she got up and out of bed, running a hand through her hair, debating on what she needed. Did she need to steal something? Or did she need fresh air? Either way, she knew she needed something to make her forget. She dressed in street clothes, with her catsuit stuffed into a bag, and grabbed her motorcycle jacket and helmet before heading to the garage, Moe following her. "I'll be back Moe, I promise." Elodie said as walked past the collection of cars - her parents collection - to get to her motorcycle. Moe whined, as though to tell her to stay, but Elodie couldn't.

She left the MacKelter home, a lavish house that wasn't all that surprising, her motorcycle purring as she reached the city and sped down the streets. She wove in and out of traffic, speeding down them as she tried to collect herself. The faster she drove the calmer she became. However, her calm turned into anger, which may of been why when she saw something that caught her eye she turned into an alleyway and quickly changed into her uniform before climbing up the fire escape to get a better view. From the rooftop she watched the museum. There were people in there, using bright flashlights to make their way around inside. Amateurs, Elodie thought, waiting for the right movement to spring on them. It was known throughout the villain community that the Titans, due to the influx of membership, were a bit disorganized and not on top of things

Which was quite soon, for soon the goons escaped from the building and were already congratulating themselves when they ran into her. "Hello boys," Elodie purred, before attacking them. Faces were punched, people were shocked, and one of them landed a blow to her ribs.

This was what Elodie referred to as anger management.

Don't you hate when you stay up late, only to suddenly remember you had an assignment due the very next day?

Well, that's what Caustic had to put up with. Her Intro to Robbery assignment was due in under twelve hours. Her mark today was an ancient Atlantean artifact, a really beautiful mask, worth thousands. Of course, it was heavily protected. Caustic disguised herself. First she applied liberal makeup to her face, disguising her green skintone. She also had a security guard uniform perfect for this museum. I just hope the dress code there hasn't changed in the last, like, 3 years.

It wasn't long after she arrived that she realized she wasn't alone. Just as she was arriving, she saw a few goons making their way out with stolen stuff. Their backpacks were loaded and they were giddy with excitement. Caustic dropped out of sight, because it would be bad if she was seen by them, especially in her security guard uniform. She made her way deeper through the museum, doing her best to look like she was supposed to be there as much as possible. Finally, she made her way to the Atlantean exhibit, where she found absolutely nothing. Those goons made off with her quarry!

Caustic immediately turned around and stormed to the exit of the museum. Just as she escaped, she briefly saw the goons in a fight with some meta-human girl as she ducked right back behind the door frame.

Those goons were getting their butts kicked out there.

"Darn! I'm exhausted, I have class in a few hours, and now my quarry has been snatched from underneath me!" She hoped she could grab it fast, so that she could at least slip in a few hours of Zs before class...

Being a pickpocket wasn't always fun. There were moments where the marks were far to easy or didn’t even give her a good chase. Unfortunately to night was on of those nights and Charlie was hanging out in an alley disposing of plastic cards and depositing the cash into her pocket. She sighed when the last card was thrown and the last dollar was counted. With an adjustment to her goggles Charlie slung her backpack onto her shoulders and exited into the streets. Perhaps she should get in on some bigger thievery schemes. From what she heard through the thief grape vine, there was supposed to be a big robbery going down at the museum tonight. That sounded like fun, maybe she could watch it at least.

Charlie turned into another alley and took off running. Although she’d only been in Jump for maybe a month, she was still well versed in the streets and alley ways. Nightly walks like this one was how she had managed that. Up ahead she could see that the alley was ended with a small building. With a grin her steps turned into leaps and when she was close enough she jumped. Now the building wasn’t at jumping height for normal people but Charlie wasn’t a normal person. When her feet left the ground she kept going up and up and up until she safely, albeit unsteadily, soared onto the building roof. Yet she didn’t stop there and soon took off again heading towards the museum.

So far Charlie had managed to get a handle on her super jump, and ‘handle’ really just meant she crashed less than she usually did. Now only if I could get my flight under control, she thought when she landed on top of the museum. Carefully she peeked in the skylight in time to see them fumble between their haul and the flash lights. “Seriously? Can you be anymore suspicious?” Charlie rolled her eyes. That and they were using the ground exit, that was just plain boring. Personally she would have gone through the very skylight she was peeking through.

She continued to watch the idiots leave the building from the ledge and was about to leave when a fight apparently broke out. Curious Charlie tried to squint at the tussle to get a better look but gave that up and dug through her backpack. She pulled out a pair of night vision binoculars and put them up to her own goggles. It was a fun fight from what Charlie saw and occasionally she gave a little cheer when the girl landed a punch or shocked them with what Charlie guessed was a taser. Well the idiots deserve it for their sloppy work, she thought with a grin. Getting more comfortable she sat on the edge of the building swinging her legs and wishing she had brought popcorn. She was unaware of the 'security guard' that hid in the door frame right under her.

Elodie finished off those goons with ease , looking down at them with narrowed eyes, kicking one of the downed men before grabbing their quarry. She looked into the bag, take a quick inventory of what they had grabbed before closing it up. This will make up for things. Bet the old man would enjoy this, Elodie thought, thinking of Brother Blood, her mentor whom she affectionately called 'Gramps' or 'old man.' Elodie was about to leave when she paused, catching some movement from the corner of her eyes.

Someone in the doorway and someone above it on the roof, Elodie thought, rolling her eyes. "Either you can come out willingly, or I can shock you so much that your nervous and muscular system will be shut down for 5 to 15 minutes. Take your pick," Elodie said, a wolfish grin on her face as she looked up at the girl and then towards the doorway.

"Unless you want to flee, which is probably for your better interest, for I should warn you now that I am one of Brother Bloods favorite students." She purred, for that was what it had seemed to her. After all, she went with what he said and did his orders without question. She would fix him up whenever he got injured and never once had he needed to hypnotize her to get her to do what he wanted. After all, he was the one who taught her how to use her abilities and trained her to kick the butts of the Titans and anyone who generally pissed her off.

Example A, the goons that were on the ground before her.
