Bianca noir: Badflower

Coffee and Ladders

I woke up brimming with excitement. I put on a Scarlet lace singlet and some leather pants. I grabbed the cleanest leather jacket off the rack and pulled it on. I checked my hair in the mirror and when I was happy with my waves I headed down to the kitchen. Of course, it being 6 a.m. no-one was up... yet. I put some weetbix, almond milk and some frozen berries in the blender and turned it on. It emitted a loud whir that could have woken up a whole apartment building. Suddenly the lounge was buzzing with activity. Everyone was bleary-eyed and wondering what the fuck was going on. I slowly dialled down the speed to a stop. 
"It's alright everyone it was the blender. Besides, all of you have work today so I would use this time to freshen up and have some breakfast." Peter let out a loud moan and walked back to the hallway. Everyone else followed suit. Josh was the only one left.
" What are you making anyway?" he said rubbing his eyes.
" Well, I'm making my self a vegan berry smoothie. Want some?"  I said pouring a glass.
" When I get dressed." Still rubbing his eyes he walked back into the hallway. I chuckled to myself. I don't normally do smoothies in the morning. I was just testing everyone's reaction times in case of an emergency. 

Once Josh and I were ready to go we walked along the docks to the car park. To decide whether we took my Hyper bike or his car we flipped a coin.
" So you take heads I'll take tails," I said with a mischievous grin. He flipped it. It came sailing down but I caught it just in time. I quickly covered it with my hand. I lifted it to reveal tails. Boy was he in for the ride of his life. I found a spare helmet under the seat and tossed it to him.
" To be honest I think you cheated in the coin toss. There is no way I'm getting on a Hyper bike." He said backing away.
" Bro, are you seriously insulting my handiworks and my company?" I said with an eye roll.
" Fine" Reluctantly he sat behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. 

A soon as his finger intertwined I pulled a wheely and we were flying through the car-park and onto the highway. 
"Woop Woop. This is so fun!" I could hear Josh yelling.
"Alright let's see if we can go faster. Just like that, I gunned the motor to 200km. He almost fell off the back at the sudden speed. I dodge cars and ran red lights knowing that no cameras could catch my number plate. I think I scared Josh a little when I scathed the side of a lemon yellow cab. The little joyride was over so soon as we neared the coffee cart. But first I parked the bike in my normal covet parking space between buildings.

We walked around the front talking about music. Turns out we both like Highly Suspect. Then I surprised him by telling him Highly Suspect lived with me.
"Oh my god seriously." He exclaimed. He almost spilt his coffee down the front of his shirt.
"Yeah, I'm not lying." We were both beaming with smiles until a flash of light caught the corner of my eye. I looked around and saw a photographer trying to do something with his camera. I grabbed Josh's hand and pulled him away from the coffee stand.
" Wait. Where are we going?" He looked at me confused so I pulled him into an alleyway.
" Well, I have a little beef with magazine journalists especially gossip ones. They particularly like following me around taking photos of whatever I'm doing. They will have a field day with the fact that I'm grabbing a coffee with you." I hissed in his ear. "Oh" 

Staying hidden I peered around the corner to see if the pathway was clear to dash to the precinct. A soon as it was safe I signalled for us to move out. I felt the wind pulling my hair from my bun and I could hear my feet slapping the pavement. I whipped my head round to see josh coming up behind me. just behind him was someone with a camera and a journalist holding a phone sprinting behind us so I ducked into another alleyway. I flew past trash cans and squeezed past parked cars and I launched my self onto the lowest rung of the ladder beside me like a cat leaping to catch a bird. Once I was on the platform I grabbed Josh"s arm as he ran past and hoisted him up onto the platform and then scrambled to raise the ladder. I knew we couldn't stay long so I continued to climb. 

If any of you read my first Bianca Noir story you would understand that this was the ladder that I used to break into the precinct through an apartment block. 

We finally reached the top. Luckily the top apartment was empty since they were at work so I pulled the key from its secret spot and unlocked the sliding door. Quietly we let our selves through the front door and into the stairwell and down to the basement. "how do you know about the key?" Asked Josh. He looked really confused. "well I own the building so I know where all the keys are." We walked up the staircase as I was explaining about how I would make a good cat burglar. 

A soon as I walked on to the floor Captain Holt told me to stand up. He began yelling at me.
" What do the press mean when they say you disappeared on the roof of the building next to us? What were you doing pulling a celebrity into a dark alleyway? Do you know how bad that sounds? Why is the government after you? Why are they saying that you are superhuman?" I stayed silent. The last 2 questions stumped me. Why were the government thinking that I was superhuman?
"what do you mean they think I'm superhuman?" Now I was the really confused one.
"the press saw you jump 20 feet into the air and then pull up a fully grown man into the air with 1 hand. That sounds like superhuman strength to me." as he said that he was using hand gestures. 20 feet was a hand raised above his head. When he mentioned the superhuman strength he motioned to Josh.
" what's your name boy?" He pointed angrily at Josh.
" Me? Hi, I'm Josh Katz. I am the lead singer for a rock band named Badflower." Suddenly all the police officers to a step forward. I looked at Amy. She was deeply disapproving. Rosa was looking like she would kill someone on command as per usual. jake was sitting on his desk trying to figure out what was going on. Hitchcock and Scully were too engrossed in their meatball subs to notice. Charles and terry were giving me dirty looks. Well, things were about to get serious as 

Amy checked the system for Josh's name.
"computer says that the government classify him as an emotional support beacon for Bianca but that isn't possible because he lives in LA."  Suddenly all the officers closed in on us.
" oh well we will just have to take them both." said holt with his hands placed on his hips above his bland brown leather belt.
"What...?"  Before I could say anything else one of the officers electrified me until the world went black and I fell to the cold floor.
