Tiger and bunny: Lucky to be a lady tonight

Chapter 4

The next day was to be Kotetsu's debut as a woman. God only knew that both she and her partner were scared out of their wits, but with the plan that was to be followed, everything would be alright as long as no one slipped up.

Barnaby was getting into his under suit, a call just being announced to all the heroes. A robber was on the loose, just a normal activity for each of the heroes, but would prove to be difficult for Kotetsu as her first call as a woman.

Kotetsu was nervous, already in her under suit and skirt, hesitating on the armor. She took a deep breath and pulled on the armored boot she was holding. "This feels like my first day as Wild Tiger had felt..."

The blond looked over at Kotetsu and smiled. "I'm sure everything will be fine. Just perform like you normally do and you should be golden." He put on the boots of his suit and stood up, feeling them hug his thighs tightly.

"...I...didn't call my mother to tell her, yet... I should have done that last night. She watches the show, my family will all find out after this."

"You're going to raise a lot of questions, you know that?" The rest of his suit was put on, excluding the helmet.

She pulled on her other boot and stood up, grabbing the chest plate. "Tonight will be...busy."

Barnaby nodded. "Can you handle it on your own?" He grabbed his helmet and held it under his arm.

"I should. It's my family, after all."

"I can help in case it doesn't go over well. But if you're sure, I'll only help if you ask."

"I...wouldn't mind it if you were there with me." She admitted with a slight blush.

He smiled and put his helmet on. "I'll be there then." Barnaby headed out of the room to ready the motorcycles.

"Wait!" Kotetsu pulled on her chest plate and arm armor before grabbing her helmet and rushing after him, planting a kiss on his lips while they were still hidden from public view. "Thank you, Bunny." She whispered before sitting in the green sidecar.

The blond hopped onto his motorcycle and revved it to life. "You're welcome, Kotetsu," he said over the intercom in their helmets. Off they went to the scene of the crime, meeting Sky High and Rock Bison at the bank where they robber had committed his crime.

"Remember, Tiger, don't take action until I say!" Agnes' voice commanded over the com. "And I mean it! Be a hero after I find the perfect opening for your reveal! Until then, make it look like Barnaby's going solo."

Kotetsu sighed, "Yeah, yeah, for once I'll listen...could use the time to get mentally prepared for going out like this..."

Barnaby climbed off the motorcycle and spoke with Keith and Antonio a bit. He returned shortly to go over the situation with Kotetsu. "Looks like the robber is trying to hit all the major banks in the city. He's gotten two already, his estimated place of attack next is in East Silver."

She nodded, "Go on, I'll be waiting for my queue."

"Okay." He lifted his face mask slightly, just enough for the microphone to not pick up his voice. "I love you," he spoke softly. He took off running towards a bridge about a mile ahead, needing a clear vantage point to survey the area.

"Be careful out there without me..." Kotetsu sighed under her breath before speaking normally, "I'll keep an eye on things and tell you if something changes, so you better not tune me out just because I'm not next to you on this one!"

"You know I'd never do that, Tiger." Barnaby smiled under his helmet as he kept running. He soon reached the bridge and hopped up to the top. Once at the top, he tapped the side of his helmet to gather information about his surrounding area. All seemed calm except for a tiny glimpse of a man running. Barnaby could see his hands were full, undoubtedly full of money from the banks.
