There was a horrible fire at a tall building and Toria was in a helicopter trying to save the trapped office workers.

"We can't get in any closer, the fire is too big." the pilot said.

"There's a water tank down there!" Toria said. "We can use that."

Toria then jumped out of the helicopter on to the building.

"Toria!" the pilot said.

Toria tried to make it to the water valve but the ground under the tank gave in and caused the water tank to begin to fall on top of her but luckily the Masked Vigilante came in at the last second and destroyed the water tank causing water to go all over the buliding and saving the people.

The incident was all over the news in the aftermath.

"Whatever. This masked man doesn't have jack-shit on me." Takato Sai said.

The Next Morning:

TJ was flying off to school in his Masked Vigilante persona when his little sister Mya caught up with him.

"Big Brother! Wait up!" Mya said.

"Hey sis, what's up." TJ said.

"Say you'll be safe." Mya said.

"I'll be safe, Mya." TJ chuckled.

"Okay, good." Mya smiled. "See you after school."

"Bye Sis!" TJ said as he flew off.

As TJ made it to the city, Toria spotted him as she was flying in her plane on the way to school.

"Ah crap." TJ said.

"You've got to be kidding me." Toria said.

"Damn it! Gotta move!" TJ said.

TJ then began flying away from Toria, but she gave chase.

"You're not shaking me." Toria said.

"Get a hobby already." TJ said.

"I will unmask you." Toria said.

TJ then stopped in the middle of the street and vanished as Toria almost crashed into him.

"They whole point was not to be discovered." TJ said. How am I going to-"

Toria then surprisingly found him.

"Good job of tracking me down." TJ said.

"Don't play that with me." Toria said. "What's that mask hiding?"

"That's classified information." TJ said. "I'm just a masked vigilante."

"Yeah. With superhuman powers." Toria said. "You're not a normal guy."

"Look over there!" TJ said.

Toria turned her head and TJ took her plane and put it on top of a building.

"Hey!" Toria said.

"See you later." TJ said as he flew away.

"I will expose you." Toria said.

"Now I'm late." TJ said. "Aw man."

"So, you were late too?" Aika said.

"Yeah.... wait what do you mean "too"? Toria said.

"TJ was late as well." Aika said. "He came in just before you did."

"That's odd. The masked man was coming in this direction." Toria thought. "This doesn't add up."

Two criminals were causing trouble in the streets.

"Stop it you two." TJ said.

"You better watch it boy." one of the criminals said.

"You better watch out for me." TJ said.

The criminal punched TJ but flinched back in pain.

Toria then stepped in and kicked the criminal in the face.

"Ah shit. She's here." The other criminal said as the criminals flew away.

"Hey are you okay?" Toria asked.

"Yeah, I'm good." TJ said.

"Sorry I didn't jump in sooner." Toria said. "I got this thing where I believe you're the masked vigilante, so I waited to what you would do."

"Interesting." TJ said.

"Clearly I was wrong." Toria said. "I'm just glad I stepped in when I did."

"Phew, that was close." TJ thought.

The Next Day at School:

Toria got a call about the city's mayor being held hostage.

They had the mayor at knife point.

"Just shoot him already." the mayor said. 

Toria then dashed out of the classroom to the scene.

"Let the mayor go!" Toria said.

The crime boss named Rok then walked up to Toria.

"Hmph, your father won't be able to recognize you when this is over." Rok said.

The two then began fighting.

"Whoever Toria is fighting has her outmatched." TJ thought. "Now, how do can I get out of here?"

TJ then began aggressively tapping his foot which began shaking the school.

"Everyone! Under your desks!" The teacher said.

TJ then ran out of the classroom to the roof, transformed and flew to Toria.

"You know how to handle yourself." Rok said.

The Masked Vigilante arrived.

"Who the fuck are you?" a goon said as he pointed a gun to TJ's head.

TJ then bent the barrel of the gun and proceeded knock out all of the goons and freed the mayor.

But TJ then looked over at Toria who was held in a chokehold, but she managed break free and knock Rok out and defeat him.

"Thank you." Toria said.

"No problem." TJ said.

"But this doesn't mean you're off the hook just yet." Toria smirked. "I will find who you are."

"Best of luck with that." TJ said as he flew away.

The Next Day:

"He ditched again?" Toria said, causing TJ to take interest in eavesdropping.

"Yeah, after the earthquake he was gone." Aika said. "He showed right back up before you did."

"I fucking knew it!" Toria said as she turned around but TJ was gone.

"What? where did he go?" Aika said.

"Dude is a boss." Bilal said. "Houdini has nothing on him."

TJ then slipped away back home unnoticed.
