They usually couldn't meet under normal circumstances and, sometimes, neither party knew any personal details about the other, even something as simple as their name. But there was a relationship, a connection, an intimate understanding of the others' person, and that was all that really mattered, at least in Phoebe's mind.
Phoebe glanced down at her phone, wincing when she saw that she was almost forty minutes late. She wasn't too far away from where they agreed to convene, but she had found herself getting stuck on the last few problems on her Physics homework and, knowing better than to try and prioritize her night work over her real life—if she could help it—she had finished up everything first, only then getting into her suit and climbing out her window, heading off towards the rooftop where they agreed to meet.
"You're late," was what she was greeted with as soon as she dropped onto the flat landing of the rooftop.
She sighed softly as she adjusted her bandana, her eyes scanning over the three figures that were shrouded in shadow, her eyes quickly adjusting, allowing her to see them clearly. As clearly as she was allowed anyways, what with all of them similarly dressed and hidden as she was, though she knew one far more personally than the other two.
"Blue said it wasn't urgent and I had some personal matters to attend to, but I'm here now," she reasoned, glancing over towards the only boy in their group who was standing amongst a few computer screens, his hands glowing a faint blue.
"But you told us we had to be here at exactly ten," Dragonfly exclaimed, shooting an accusatory glare at Blue Screen whose gaze barely flickered from where he was concentrating on the screens, his fingers twitching as he focused on controlling whatever technology he deemed of use.
"Yeah, because even if one of us is late, the rest of us can still work," Blue Screen explained, his hands still glowing but his attention fully placed on the scene in front of him, "There was a lot of physical recon that you and Fish did, and it was really helpful and exactly what would've happened even if she was here."
"You're lucky we're good at our jobs, Boss," Infinity Fish called from the edge of the building, looking down at the poorly lit street.
Phoebe hummed as she stepped towards the girl, peering down to see the same empty sidewalk she did, knowing that she was only looking down to buy time, that there wasn't anything of note down there, because that was just what Infinity Fish did.
