A Heist with Markiplier

The Heist Begins

When Alise came to, she noticed she seemed to have been placed behind some bushes; beside them was a big bag full of tools that could've come in hand during the heist, all was ready to be put in motion. They knew they should've reached Mark inside the museum as soon as possible, but they just couldn't... not right away. They instead decided to look around briefly, the feeling of the leaves brushing against their body, the chilly night breeze, the slight flickering of the lights... it was surreal, she truly felt like she was back outside- but that couldn't be... right? It had to be yet another one of Mark's creations, though they had no idea his powers let him replicate reality so closely, if they didn't know better, they would've thought all of this WAS real.

"Gosh... this is beautiful..." they muttered, slowly climbing out of the bushes, carefully avoiding a guard before going up to the doors, which were predictably locked. She looked into her bag to see if they had anything useful for that occasion and found a grappling hook... they weren't really sure of what to do with it, they'd never used one before, but as soon as they grabbed it from the bag, they felt a strange shock in their body and they slowly moved towards the nearest wall, loading the hook into the barrel and shooting it up, letting herself be transported upwards and finally jumping over a glass railing. Alise breathed heavily as they felt able to properly control their body once more. What just happened? It felt like they'd gone into autopilot for a moment... was it because they were taking too long? Was... Mark behind that?

"Nah, he-he could never..." she muttered as she began crawling through the vents, slowly making their way towards the closes exit, which luckily got them right into the museum. Alise looked around, taking in the sights... was that really how the world looked like now? Everything felt so foreign, and yet slightly familiar. They were sure that whatever this adventure had in store for them it was going to be fun and interesting!

Suddenly, they heard a scream coming from above, and before they could say 'what?', Mark fell right in front of them, causing them to jump. "M-Mark?!"

The man hurriedly got back up. He was dressed right for the occasion as well and he too had a bag full of gadgets. He seemed happy to see Alise "Oh hey! You made it in already, great! You know the plan, right?"

"Y-Yeah-" she replied, still feeling a bit unsure, but going along with it "Break into the museum, take what we came here for and leave without getting discovered, right?"

"Perfect!" Mark said, smirking a bit "Everything you need is in your bag, so- let's synchronize our watches on three... THREE!" he added, readying his watch and immediately pressing the button without doing a countdown, which left Alise slightly confused.

"Wha-"

"Now, stick to the plan and you'll be just fine, but if you deviate from it, for even a single moment... I won't come back for you... okay? Good luck!" and before Alise could react, he was gone again.

The district attorney was frozen there for a moment. What did Mark mean with that? He... he wasn't going to abandon her, was he? They felt a shiver go up their spine, they did NOT want that to be the case, they didn't want to make Mark angry, and most importantly, they did not want to be alone again.

"Hey!"

Alise jumped and yelped as soon as she heard someone behind her, and grabbed the first thing she found in the bag to defend herself, shutting her eyes and waving it around. "S-stay back!"

"What do you think you're doing...?" the guard asked, sounding mildly confused.

They opened their eyes again and found that they were holding... a steak? "Uuuh..."

"Oh- oh no, not the old steak trick, I'm not falling for that twice" the guard continued, pointing the gun straight at Alise, forcing them to put the steak down. Her heart was pounding, afraid that they'd failed the heist already, until they saw Mark hiding behind some plants, ready to incapacitate the guard.
