Job 1x5 - Maze Showdown

"STAY AWAY EVILDOER!"

The Avenger was long gone as you reached zero. Bonnie was up top watching, though not focused on you or The Avenger. Something else up top had his attention. For now, it was just to search.

While you walked down corridors and corners, ears out for the Avenger's ambience or any feathers poking up your mind was on Sun and Moon. It had been about a week since you last checked on them though the last check they didn't act that much out of the norm. You heard reports of strange behaviour but during that checkup they were fine. They did act more subdued, but you chalked that up to low power. You assumed at the time they just had some anxiety and either needed a break or to have some support staff in the daycare. Perhaps their condition worsened in the past few days?

Seeing a yellow tuft poke up from one of the dead ends you grin. Walking nonchalantly, you start to head to the row next to it, wondering how to go about catching her.

With how much she taunted you in the last round you wanted to scare her as well. But how to scare a super-hero exercise instructor? Teasing about eating crappy food would've only pissed her off and make it her mission to get you healthy.

Couldn't make any predatory jokes about chickens. Wolves eat chickens and Roxanne and Chica were close. She probably wouldn't understand the joke. Or worse, relay it to Roxanne would be very angry that you insinuated you were a wolf. After all, she was the best wolf.

One idea did stick in your head though, causing an ear-to-ear grin. "You know, uh, Avenger, you talk so much about exercise. But can you even run? I mean, are you even that agile?"

You turn a corner, grinning still. "Eating all that food must really slow you down. How can you even stay fit with all the garbage you eat?"

She was behind the wall, and you could hear her gears within her grinding louder. It was getting under her skin. Grabbing the pull up bar next to you hoist yourself up. Your eyes meet the Avengers, she was expecting you to leap up there.

"Let's see how fast you can run." You say wickedly.

Her eyes narrow in anger as she turns and bolts off, leaping over the wall next to her. "Hmph! I'll show you!" She shouts angrily.

You let go and ran after her, keeping pace. She wasn't as fast as you but far more agile. This was her domain after all.

Gotta cut her off.

While jumping the walls may have been a challenge before you felt emboldened now, practically leaping atop walls you previously could not have. You hear Bonnie above cheering her on. Dashing, you make a left as she goes right, knowing the layout would force her to the same direction eventually.

The Avenger kept running, focusing on what was in front of her, knowing her leaps and acrobatic moves threw you off. As she grabbed the side of the wall, practically sliding past the turn you cut her off, ready to tackle her.

Smirking before running into you she jumped to the side, using the vertical wall as leverage, talon hitting the wall and she grabbed the top of hit, holding herself up. With a leap she jumped to the opposing wall, even twirling as she did, grabbing the opposing wall and gliding over it.

The Avenger did not have a cape, instead having wings beneath her arms. Perhaps if she rocked a cape, grabbing it would have been possible. Instead, she escaped your grasp, landing gracefully a row over.

"WOOOO!" Bonnie shouted, hitting the glass, the bunny practically screaming in awe at the move.

"You can't catch me! This is my home. I know this place better than you know nuts and bolts!" The Avenger declared.
