Crime Fightin' In The Dark

It had been a couple of hours since you had gotten home; you were now well-prepared to go on patrol. Now to see if your sidekicks were online...

✧✦✧

Tech Master: 10:49 pm

Tech Master: 10:49 pm

(d/un): 10:49 pm

┐('∀｀)┌

I'm about to start my patrol, hoping for a calm night tho

Tech Master: 10:50 pm

Have you sent out the drone yet? I can nearby buildings for heat signatures and signs of break-ins

(d/un): 10:50 pm

Doing it now

Ok done

Tech Master: 10:52 pm

Ok, I'm still logging in. Make sure the drone is on and I'll connect to it.

Stay nearby so I don't lose you, but you should scout the area

✧✦✧

After using your grappling hook to 'zoop' out of your bedroom window, you sent out the drone and waited for Techie to start flying it around. You took to quietly rambling to yourself as you waited.

"Just Techie, then. Looks like I won't be able to get boosts... But he's more helpful than just boosts, right? I mean, heat signatures and analyzing what you can see is pretty fuckin useful to me.."

You'd started walking towards the edge of the roof as you mumbled to yourself. However... You weren't paying attention to where you were going and slipped off the edge.

"SHIT!"

You knew you were being loud. Anyone who heard you would probably look outside to find you falling off a roof like you misstepped and plummeted into a pool.

You were quick to aim your grappling hook back toward your roof; you heard the hook lock onto the gutter, abruptly halting your descent. You yelped as the harsh stop jerked you around like a ragdoll. Your heart beat loudly in your ears as you rushed to press the retract button and clamor back onto the solid roof.

How embarrassing...

"Yoo-hoo~ I caught that on video~"

"Techieee," you fake cried. Gods, you just feel your cheeks getting warmer by the second. "Why didn't you warn me!?"

"Zero is gonna love this! And she's gone so we might as well give her something to show her what she missed, right?" Mitch laughed in reply. "And I didn't warn you because I didn't even see you until you were literally stepping off the edge."
