The Thief

7: Too awesome

Ember's P.O.V.

My feet thud continuously on the concrete. Swerving around corners and down alleys. Mr. Morality is barely tired by this and I know he's trying to herd me towards a partner of his.

Ducking under another thrown shield, I sprint onto a main road. It's time for the fun to begin.

No more shields are thrown my way as there are too many civilians for him to accidentally hit. I squeeze myself through gaps in the crowd, somehow doing better than him. I guess this is because I'm smaller, but great things come in small packages.

I frown and in my head search for a suitable shop for my plan. M&S looms over me and I smile, this should work.

My feet take me into the shop and up the staircase as he follows close behind. Mr. Morality speeds up, obviously imagining that he has caught me. Fool!

I take a sharp right down towards a different area of the shop and run straight through the bras section. Laughing hysterically in my head , I look back to see how the goodie two shoes is doing. He slows awkwardly, pretty much unwilling to enter. I pick up a large frilly black bra up and throw it straight at his face, giving me a gap to jump from a window without him noticing.

Back in the streets, I pick a random lady on her phone and walk next to her, pretending we are related or whatever. I glance back to see Mr. Morality looking out of the window then turning and searching frantically elsewhere. One down, God knows how many to go.

A few minutes of walking later and I am back on full energy for another run. I keep searching the crowd for a recognisable face when I notice a man heading straight towards me, using the same intercept method I first used on Carrots.

Giving up the advantage of stealth, I sprint off. Scanning through what I know about the avengers, I think that this is the Falcon.

I keep running until we reach the local football club and I run through. Bird Brain now has his wings out to follow me, not that that will help if all goes to plan. I keep running until he swoops over, attempting to grab me.

I quickly swerve and run into the girl's changing rooms. I've been in here before so I know it leads to multiple exits. Taking a glance behind me, I grin. He hasn't followed.

The female football players look at me strangely but I smile and wave then run off again. I'm beginning to enjoy this, but that might just be the adreneline pumping through my veins.

I take off at a sprint once more on the crowded streets, getting as far away as possible so I'd lose Bird Brain.

After five minutes I suddenly get grabbed from behind in an alleyway. I should have been paying attention. Cursing myself I turn. The person behind me has an unrecognisable face but his hands are reddish. I think this might be the Vision on disguise.

He is going to regret that disguise I think to myself. "Rape. RAPE!" I scream at the top of my lungs. I feel him get yanked off of me and I run again, acting like a scared young girl.

Taking a quick glance over my shoulder I see him getting dragged away. His face is the most hilarious thing I have seen in a long time. He'll explain who he is soon but I'll be long gone.

I start heading towards a station to get out of here. It shouldn't be too far and I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.

I hear a loud engine sound and I sigh knowing the most boastful asshole in the history of the part has arrived.

I come to the end of the alley when a certain red and gold figure drops down in front of me. Surprisingly, this encounter is the one I was least worried about.

"Sorry little girl but you can't trick me, I'm too awesome." He says in his most patronising tone.

"I wouldn't try, you have no morals to play against you." He looks at me confused and I grin widely.

Taking a deep breath, I sprint right at him. Bucket Head begins to raise his arms but he's too slow, I slam the device Alex made earlier onto his suit and he freezes as it shuts down. Unable to move I give him a massive smile and the temptation takes over. I lean down in front of him and shove him over.

Once again running I frown. This shouldn't be so easy. Maybe the avengers just look way more awesome on TV. I've avoided most of them already haven't I?

Continuing towards the station I avoid all sight. I can do this, I tell myself in my head.

I almost make it, in fact I'm a few feet away from the entrance to the station when he knocks me over. Picking me up, the man I assume is Thor begins to fly towards a rooftop. I struggle but he sticks something in my arm and I feel myself drifting into unconsciousness. I didn't make it.

As the world goes black I hear a mocking voice "I guess you knocked her off her feet there Thor."

I hope Alex and Ghost got way...

A/N Sorry I'm not updating as often now, I have tests at school at the moment. As cheesy as it sounds, I'd like to say thank you for the support I'm getting to continue this story. It really motivates me. What will happen now Ember has been captured and did Alex escape? You'll find out soon.
