February 29th, 21CLE.
It was a rather normal day in Piltover. Sun shining, small clouds drifting in the blue canvas up above. A top a building was everyone's favorite mercenary, Xenos. He peered down below to the citizens going about their everyday lives. People walking with bags of food or gold from a hard day's work. There were also yordles going to and leaving from the general area of the Academy.
How interesting it must be to grow up with a normal life. A family, house, loving wife and kids... Real parents... But he knew nothing was that simple. He would have to earn that, implying he would even be a good husband and father.... Or anything else that would pertain to something that didn't involve fighting. He let out a sigh, which came out deep and odd due to the suit. He honestly wondered if anything interesting will happen. Perhaps he'll see a champion and will be able to him/her/it for the day. stalk
From the top of a nearby building, not far from where Xenos sat, there were sounds of a pair of people shouting. A man in bag with a sack climbed onto the roof from a fire escape, dropping the ladder as he came up. Coming to the edge of the roof near Xenos, he threw a rope across, the hook on the other end grappling the edge of the roof. As he climbed across, he dropped the rope, presuming whoever was following him would give up.
As he was about to get away, on the other roof, a young woman appeared in what seemed an instant. Landing neatly on the roof, she dashed to the side of it, seeing the large gap between buildings. Without even pausing, she leaped over it, going high into the air and landing on the opposite roof, right behind the escapee. In one swift movement, she drew the sword from her back and swung it out towards the bandit, and as it flashed green, a visible gust of wind pushed the escapee down onto the ground.
She grabbed him and tied him up with his own rope, dangling him upside down from a nearby fire escape. "And THAT is for making me run two blocks to catch you." She tied the rope securely, making sure to leave him in plain sight. Dusting off her hands, she slung her sword onto her back again, breathing out deeply. "I'd say I have about ten minutes before the authorities come here...might as well...oh."
She had just seen Xenos staring out over the crowds. She came up behind him, relatively quietly. "Lemme guess...you just saw all that, didn't you?"

He was still looking down at the streets, minding his own business. Then he heard the shouting, which instantly turned his head. He rolled back pulling out his gun and one of his blades. With one hand, he aimed his gun towards the source of the noise, and his other hand held his blade upside down, as it was tucked right under his gun. It was always good to have both types of weaponry on him when the enemy was unknown. It allowed easy maneuver from long range combat, to CQC.
When he saw the man come out, he cloaked instantly to prevent being seen by the robber. he'll just wait for the right time, let him on the roof, and when his back is turned he'll spit shoot him in the legs and grab his loot. However, the plan was instantly scrapped as the young woman arrived.
The first thing that caught his eyes was the huge ass sword and the boots she wore. It was obvious that they assisted her in that jump. However the sword was a different story. It was taller than her, yet she ran around with ease. When she got to the roof and slammed him into the ground with the wind, he was blown back a little bit from the wind as well. He kept his ground, but his guard lowered and his uncloaked. He watched everything that was going on, but when she walked to him to talk, he immediately moved his aim to her. "Who are you, what do you want?" He asked rather harshly. His voice was distorted, as he was using something to change his voice. It sounded like one of those deepthroat people.

Elody raised her arms defensively. "Well, I wanted to catch that thief, but I already did that, so I've got a bit of a blank schedule now. Plenty of time to kill for a bit." She edged closer to the rim of the roof, ready to leap off if if this person became hostile. It was only, oh, about ten stories...she could probably land that. "The name's Elody, but people in these parts call me the Windreaper. And, if you don't mind me asking, who exactly are you?" She gave him a small, slightly reassuring smile.

Xenos kept his guard up. He took note of her backing towards the edge, and moved forward slowly. He couldn't run the risk of her getting away and reporting to the authorities. Yet... She gave away her name so easily and casually. Perhaps she could be trusted? Though when she asked for her name, his grip on his blade and gun tightened. "Why? So you can run off and report me to the Sheriff and her bottom bitch?" He said, his tone become more threatening.

Elody rolled her eyes. "Oh, lemme guess. You don't like being known about, then."
She sat down on the edge of the roof and dangled her feet off. "Like I'd go to the police. They'd probably arrest me on the spot. Vigilantism doesn't have the greatest stigma in this city..." She looked off into the distance and swung her feet idly. "I can see why you like it up here. You can see loads. Like that." She pointed towards a troupe of police officers running down the street, probably after the bandit. "They've been on my tail after I sprinted for that bandit over there. I'd say we have...oh...three minutes before they get up here, so if you don't want to be seen, you might want to jump for it." She kept looking at the street below.

Xenos looked at her curiously. A vigilante in a place like this? "Then why not go somewhere else then?" He asked. Once she pointed to the cops below, he leaned over to look. Crap, now he was probably going to get dragged into this. Than he looked at the jumping distance. No way he can make it. Her though... He looked back at her. "I... Can't make it. If you can help me, I'll reward you." He said, putting his weapons away. He then pointed a finger at her. "Though if you backstab me, I WILL kill you. Don't think I won't." He said as he looked around for the best way out.

Elody shrugged. "Hm. Seems like a good enough deal. Do something, and get rewarded; don't do something, and wake up dead tomorrow. Get on my back." She stood up and held her arms out behind her in a supporting fashion; if he was a bit heavy, he'd have to hold on himself, because she wasn't very strong. "Hold on REALLY tight. Unless you like being splattered into red jelly."
As soon as he was secure, she would leap off the building, hurtling ten stories to the street below. She would shift her weight as they fell to make sure her feet were pointed at the ground. The entire time, she'd be laughing maniacally. As they'd hit the ground, however, they'd just come to an abrupt stop, neither of them hurt. "Well, that was fun. You can get off now." She turned to face Xenos after they landed.

Xenos looked at her funny for a moment... She couldn't be serious. Though he needed to get out of here. He walked over to her and stood behind her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and neck, his armor having a cold touch. "All right. I'm rea-!!!" He was cut off as they flew down the side of the building. His grip tightened slightlyas they were falling, mostly to ensure that he wouldn't fall off and not out of fright.
Once they landed, he got off immediately. Looking around. "I know a way out. It's in the direction the force is going. If we stay out of sight behind them, we can get to the safe point fast." He said. "Can you do that?"
Elody looked around quickly. Grabbing a large piece of cloth, she draped it over her back, hiding her sword from view. Adjusting it slightly, she produced a hood, as well. "They only want me. I think you'll be able to move through easily enough. I'll meet you on the other side, if you're still game." With another smile, she bounded away, moving stealthily behind the platoon of policemen.

"I've hunted people down here on multiple occasions, I'm sure they don't appreciate my lime of work either." He said. "I'll see you soon." He said as he went cloaked. He began creeping towards the cops and hid behind objects, just to make sure they don't see him for some reason.

She would be safe for the most part in the area he directed her too.
At least for her it was. On his side of the pathway was a different story. A loud crash could be heard followed by shoutingand gunshots being fired. It wouldn't be long until Xenos was running up to her down the alley. "ime to get moving! Now!" He said as he grabbed her hand and began running. The sound of shouting and footsteps behind them could be heard.
