Chapter 4: Caped Escapades and Dates

Chapter Text

Date: April 25, 2011

I still couldn't believe it, Eve, my little sister…. She had a love for me that I now realized was far from familial, and I also realized that I had a similar set of feelings developing for her. It wasn't normal, it wasn't right, but it was still true, I wanted that kiss as much as she had, even if I didn't know it till she had already left my apartment.

I decided that it was probably unwise to dwell on those thoughts for long, lest I pull my own hair out in indecision and worry so I choose to distract myself with more cape shopping. While last time I had got the bare minimum this time I planned to expand on my previous purchases and get a more filled out kit. I had decided it was probably best if I could take a taxi instead of walking the whole way, after all I had lots of stores to go to and only so much time in the day.

The first thing I ended up buying was a second phone, data included, it was a cheap android with porn functionality outside of phone calls and texts, which was exactly my goal. I hadn't been particularly keen on letting Glory Girl get my Civilian identities phone number, which this would help me circumvent so I figured it was worth the 90 dollars I spent on it.

The next thing I ended up buying was a set of high end binoculars, they were small and sleek, easily fitting in my side pocket after I bought them. Based on their packaging I figured they were probably for bird spotting or something along those lines but they would work perfectly for all sorts of other purposes, like spying on capes for instance.

I was currently waiting in line with the day's last planned purchases grasped firmly in hand, the fat lady in front of me finally getting her coupon to work as she vacated the line with her 8 liters of soda, what a sad creature.

Stepping up and setting my three items on the counter I noticed the clerks' eyes dart between my face and my purchases, as if trying to figure out what I was buying a roll of duct tape, a pack of zip ties and a snickers bar for.

"That will be 16.95, cash or credit?"

"Cash."

His worst fears of what I planned to do with the items were probably correct but I simply smiled and handed him a twenty out of my wallet. Acting as if there is nothing wrong is the key to getting away with anything, and he seemed to buy it as he smiled back at me and handed me my change, suspicious look long gone from his face.

"Have a good day sir." He passed me my receipt and bagged kidnapping supplies with a smile which I returned, wishing him a good afternoon as I made my exit.

I had also planned to buy a Kevlar vest and a taser but those would sadly be online purchases, which while traceable, would still be well worth the risk. Though I doubted that it would even look that suspicious, this was Brockton after all, who wouldn't want a Kevlar vest if they could afford it?

—————————

After arriving back at my apartment I went ahead and placed those orders, both would arrive in four to six days which honestly was better than I had assumed. Doing a quick bit of mental math I figured I had spent around a grand, which while steep for my current finances, was well within what I was willing to spend on my cape outfit and equipment.

Finishing setting up my new phone took the better half of an hour, and having spent my time doing it I figured I might as well use it for its intended purpose. Fishing out the now slightly ruffled note I entered the number into my contacts, though at this point it might as well be called my contact since it only included one lone number.

>'Hello there Glory Girl, guess who?' I went ahead and sent her a text, I expected to have to wait some time for a response but I was pleasantly surprised by an answering vibration.

>'Tall, dark and speedy?'

>'You got it in one, don't get a lot of random texts from unknown numbers?'

>'Not on my work phone, though I am surprised you reached out so fast, normally your type are all flighty and mistrustful of authority figures, it's not an unpleasant surprise though.'

>'What do you mean by "your type"?'

>'New capes with ideas of grandeur and a fear of commitment, though who knows, I have been wrong before, as rare as it is 😏.'

>'Not as far off as I would like you to be, anyway I have a bit of a favor to ask you, before you pick my personality apart further.'

>'ohh? Do tell Blitz, what is it you want from everyone's favorite hero?'

>'I was wondering if you could show me the metaphorical ropes, maybe go on a patrol together, if you have the time of course.'

>'You want to learn from one of the best? I would be glad to, what time works for you Blitz?'

>'Anytime is fine, my schedule is open for the next week, especially if your involved Glory Girl 😙.'

>'I'm going on patrol tonight if you're interested, Oh and Blitz just call me Vicky, everyone knows my name anyway.'

>'Well if you insist Vicky, tonight works perfectly, I'll be at the roof where we last met last time at midnight, will that work for you?'

>'Yep, I'll see ya tonight then speedy, and come ready to learn because I'm going to show you how it's done.'

>'Im counting on it, ttyl Vicky'

For a while I was pretty pleased with myself as I closed my phone and leaned back in my blue recliner. While I still wasn't sure what path I wanted to take as I cape I was sure that having Brockton bay's junior Alexandria as my friend would never hurt, especially since she happens to be one of my little sisters best friends.

My mind wondered back to Eve, our shared moment of passion still fresh in my mind, not that it ever wouldn't be. She was breathtakingly beautiful and now that I thought of her that way there really wasn't any going back. I'd have to talk to her about it at some point, but not now, I had a patrol to prepare for after all.

Date: April 25, 2011

I was waiting on a very familiar roof, feet dangling off the ledge as I hummed a song I had long forgotten the words to. I had gotten to the agreed upon meeting spot a good few minutes early, never could be too careful.

"BOO!!"

I nearly fell off the roof as I spun in place, the world already slowing around me as I faced my assailant. I flicked my power back off as I saw Glory Girl floating behind me, a look of pure self satisfaction spreading across her face.

"And there's your first lesson of the night, never let your guard down when you're in costume, even if you're waiting for a really awesome teacher to show up."

I don't think my deadpan stare came across due to my helmet but my hands resting firmly on my hips hopefully send the message.

"Well good evening to you as well Vicky thanks for taking a year off my lifespan."

She giggled back, completely unfazed by my pout.

"You know this is now the second time I've flown in behind you on this roof, it's becoming a bit of a habit."

Before I could snark back she stuck her hands in the air in mock surrender, as if to placate my annoyance.

"Alright alright, that's enough teasing for one night, even if it's a little too much fun. Jokes aside, it is nice to see you blitz."

"Nice to see you too Vicky, though I'd prefer if you did your future greetings from the front."

"I'll keep that in mind, so I was thinking of doing a shallow pass into Empire territory, do you think you're up for that or would you prefer to stay around Boardwalk?"

I immediately nodded, if I'd been alone I may have been a bit more cautious but with Vicky with me I was confident there weren't many fights we could lose.

"Sounds good, I'll stick close to you, I assume your talking point?"

She gave me a confident grin

"Of course, now try not to fall behind!!" With a smirk she was off, flying away while looking back at me, as if to gauge if I could keep up, which I did, following just behind her going from roof to roof. Her grin widened as she slowly increased her speed, and as I continued to keep up with her she only grew faster, this was a race that I didn't plan to lose.

Date: April 26, 2011

My breath came out a bit ragged as I overlooked the edge of empire territory, Vicky stood beside me on the building's edge.

"Everything past this point is going to be dangerous, so make sure to tread lightly, and don't attack first."

I nodded my head in affirmation, making sure she knew I was listening.

"We are just going to be going a few streets in and out, nothing major, if you see or hear anything important make sure to tell me, and don't wonder from my side, okay?."

"I hear you Vicky, no unnecessary danger, no agonizing the resident Nazi's, it sounds like an average Sunday night in Brockton Bay." That got her to crack a smile, her authoritative facade crumbling to the wayside.

"Take this seriously Blitz, I can't have you getting hurt on my watch, it could ruin my teaching prospects."

"We can't have that can we? But seriously, all jokes aside, if we aren't here to fight the empire then why not just patrol one of the other areas of the city?" No matter where she had chosen to go I would have gladly tagged along but I was still curious about why she would choose an area that we weren't going to do much in as opposed to somewhere else.

"Well as you probably know, the Prt would prefer if all capes stayed away from the docks due to Lung, and the trainyard is basically lawless at this point, hell I figure there's a different gang every few blocks, I figured that would be a very good teaching environment" She made some fair points, but I wasn't really worried about any of the cities so called rougher areas, you can't fight what you can't catch after all.

"And most importantly I didn't want to waste my night doing another boring boardwalk patrol, that bust you watched me do was my first one in almost a week!" Vicky was a girl who loved action. I could tell that just from a handful of conversations, I could see how the idea of flying around in circles all night would probably bore her, which was fine by me because I wasn't in the cape business for the scenic views.

"Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into this patrol, I see why you're such a successful cape." That got a big grin out of her, her back going a bit straighter as she ever so slightly puffed her chest out, which did interesting things to her breasts, the slight jiggle definitely drawing my eye.

_____________

It wasn't long after that we finally did start out patrol, quiet laughter and grins set aside as we both stalked through the edge of empire territory. It was quite, sure every so often we saw a swastika or a large E88 tag on the side of a building, but in terms of crime or violence there wasn't much to find. The few people we passed definitely took note of us, well mostly Vicky, I was pretty low profile being dressed in all black and moving between the rooftops.

The night continued on without incident, and after nearly a half hour of nothing but mostly empty streets we turned back for the border. It was on our way back that we encountered our first sign of trouble, loud shouting drawing both me and Vicky's attention. Making our way over, we both peered down into a small alley, a pair of obvious Empire gang members kneeling over a prone man's body.

Watching the scene unfold below I couldn't help but scratch my head, it seemed someone else had been here first.

"What the Fuck do you mean call an ambulance?! John has a crossbow bolt in his head, an ambulance isn't going to bring back the fucking dead!" The man on the ground seemed to be another empire member, and based on the large pool of blood forming around his prone body that would be past tense membership. The other man was sobbing lightly, hands grasping at the dead man's clothes as he said something I couldn't make out from this distance.

"Look I know he was your cousin, but we need to get out of this alley and call in some backup, before one of us is next." I pulled back from the ledge alone with Vicky, she motioned me away and shook her head, as if telling me this isn't our problem to deal with, which I agreed with fully.

Once we had put some distance between ourselves and the murder scene, which was, funnily enough, the second time I had done that in two days, we stopped to chat.

"Well of all the things I was expecting tonight that certainly wasn't one of them." She managed to take the words right out of my mouth. We'd either stumbled across the aftermath of gang violence or a possible cape murder, both of which weren't really in our wheelhouse, especially due to the victim.

"You going to call it in?" She nodded, taking out her phone and having a very brief phone call with what I assumed to be the Prt.

Finishing her phone call with a muttered "typical" Vicky led me fully out of empire territory, telling me on the way that the Prt had told her that it was, to put it bluntly, not their problem and had further gone on to say that Vicky should stay out of Empire territory. This was as good of an example as any for why I had less than zero interest in joining that red tape lined nightmare.

"Hey Vicky!!"

We had just managed to cross back into the Prts oh so precious territory when I heard an excited shout from my right, whipping my head in that direction I took in the approaching cape.

The first thing I took in was her green armor and the short skirt which overlapped part of her armored legs, the next thing I looked at was her helmet which obscured the upper half of her face. She was short, and definitely younger than most capes you'd see in the cape scene, of course I already knew all of that, Vista was a cape most bay residents had heard of at some point or another.

She had a large smile on her face as she approached, which she seemed to school into a more neutral look as she saw me standing off to Vicky's side.

"Oh umm… who is this?"

"Hey Vista, this is Blitz, he's new to the cape scene and I was just showing him the ropes." I stepped forward along with her introduction, giving the new arrival a friendly wave.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Vista, as Vicky said I'm Blitz, I just started out as a cape and Vicky decided to give me a few pointers." Vista nodded along but still maintained a practiced frown on her face, as if trying to make herself look more mature, which was definitely hampered by her dress covered outfit.

"Well hello Blitz, I hope you've had a good start to your cape career." Her greeting seemed a little forced, probably still a little caught off guard by my presence, something that would hopefully change given time.

"It's been exciting, and I've definitely been luckier than I had hoped, meeting two cape veterans like you and Glory Girl in a few days is certainly more than most new capes can brag about."

She froze, obviously not expecting the compliment, though as I watched her face I saw as her earlier smile made a tentative reappearance, obviously happy to be recognized. Soon we moved on from introductions, Vista seeming much less stiff now that we had gotten them out of the way.

"So are you out on a patrol as well Vista? We were just finishing ours up when we ran into some trouble over in E88 territory." Vicky quickly explained what we had seen, Vista nodding alone with a slightly perturbed look on her face.

"Crossbow bolt you say?"

Vicky nodded, sharing a look with Vista as if that meant something, I simply watched on, completely lost as to what significance that held.

"You think it may be…. Vicky trailed off glancing at me as if she just remembered I was there. She quickly corrected herself, obviously deciding that whatever she was going to say was probably not something I should hear.

I coughed to pull Vista's attention also on me as I decided that it was better to not make it awkward by staying past my welcome. I bid both the heroines a swift goodbye, even managing to get Vista to give me her cape number before I departed, moving off towards where I'd stashed my civilian clothes. Overall I considered it a decently productive evening, any night that I got a capes phone number I considered a success, especially such a cute one.

Date: April 26, 2011

Waking up after another night of patrolling the streets I started the day with yet another cold shower. I'd rather commit another back alley murder than have to wake up at the crack of dawn, which luckily for me I didn't have to.

I had just finished my breakfast when my civilian phone rang, taking a peak at the screen and seeing Sarah as the name on the caller ID I went ahead and answered it. moving over to my sink to wash my plate with my phone held to my ear with my other hand.

"Edward?"

"The one and only, how are you doing Sarah?" She let out a barely audible sigh of relief, as if she was happy I had actually given her my real number.

"Oh I'm doing great, so I was wondering if you were free today?" Ohh?

"Yes I'm free, why do you need some help with something?"

"Nothing like that, I was wondering if you would maybe be interested in getting lunch, there's this great Italian place I know just down the road." Now this hadn't been what I was expecting when I woke up today, but I certainly am not complaining about lunch with my beautiful neighbor.

"That sounds great, what time would you like to go?"

"Around one would be good, so I'll see you there then?"

"Of course, it's a date." I could just make out a quiet gasp over the line before I hung up, leaning back in my chair with a grin on my face, what a pleasant surprise.

__________

I admit I had dressed up for the occasion, having worn a white polo shirt and a pair of nicer dress pants, I had also taken the time to comb my hair into a less messy state. I had also planned to arrive early, making it to the restaurant with several minutes to spare.

What I had not expected to find upon my arrival was Sarah, already leaning against the restaurant's outside wall, dressed to impress.

Well atleast I assumed she was dressing to impress because it certainly worked on me, my eyes taking in her long shapely legs and her burgeoning breasts. This woman was my date? What the fuck had I been thinking not talking to my neighbor sooner?

"Edward, I'm so happy you came." I was drawn from my thoughts as my date's eyes met mine, hers lighting up ever so slightly as if she had seen something particularly pleasant.

"Why wouldn't I? But if i'd known you were going to dress up id have worn something better, you've caught me at a bit of a loss."

"Oh this? It's just a little thing I've had laying around for far too long, I was just looking for an excuse to wear it. Not that you need to feel bad about what you are wearing, you look great!"

I give her a wide smile as I make my way to her side, wondering if it would be more proper to go for a hug or just to wave her my greetings.

Date: April 26, 2011

Sarah was warm, and her dress, the thin silky thing that it was, left little to the imagination as I pulled her against me for a quick hug. Her head fit comfortably under my chin as I drew her up against my chest.

I could hear her let out a quiet breath of air but she made no move to stop our embrace, though soon I ended it myself, stepping out of her personal space and giving her a grin.

"Shall we go in and eat?" She nodded in response, a blush having covered her face as she let me lead her through the doors that had stood behind us and into the restaurant.

I had never actually been to this particular dining establishment, Italian places were a dime a dozen and this one was a bit pricier than what I was normally comfortable with. Of course with my date walking by my side as our waiter led us to our table I was quite happy paying any price for a meal that came with such fine company.

I pulled her chair out for her before I took my own seat, Sarah sitting across from me at our small table for two as the waiter handed us our menus. We both ordered our drinks and the waiter left us alone, something I definitely didn't mind.

"Sorry for asking you to come with such short notice, my professor canceled class today and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the time." My date decides to open, leaning forward slightly in her chair as she addresses me.

"I'll have to remember to thank your professor for doing me a favor then, I had been meaning to ask you out for coffee one of these days so it seems to have all worked out." Sarah giggles lightly as she leans a little bit further forward, a decent bit of her cleavage now on display due to the way she's now sitting.

I have to drag my eyes away lest I make a fool out of myself, instead choosing to look her in the eyes to resist further temptation. What I find in those eyes is a look of poorly hidden self satisfaction, she must have caught my wandering eyes and, from what I could tell, didn't seem that displeased about it.

We made a bit of small talk till the waiter returned, bringing us our drinks and taking our food orders as he once again left, leaving me in very pleasant company.

From what I'd gleaned so far Sarah was a sophomore at Brockton university, studying finance. I also found out that she was an only child, much like myself, and had moved to Brockton bay, to go to college, from a nearby small town.

"So what do you do Edward?" Her words drew my attention back to her, now that was hard to answer wasn't it? I, without much thought, activated my power so I'd have longer to think, debating on how I should answer my inquisitive date.

————

I give her a only partially faked awkward chuckle as I tell her about how I had recently left my last job, though readily admitting that my personal finances weren't in too dire of straits. She doesn't seem to mind overly much that I'm neither employed or in school, waving it off saying that jobs easily come and go.

Soon after our food arrives, my own pasta dish sits across from the salad she ordered. Why choose to go to an Italian place and then get a salad was beyond me but I didn't care overly much, it wasn't my meal.

We continue to chat as we eat our meal, trading small stories and unimportant facts about our daily lives. I have her laughing several times as I tell her about the honestly dumb things I had gotten up to as a younger teenager, though soon our conversation finds a comfortable lull, a companionable silence settling between us.

Date: April 26, 2011

Our meals are about finished when I decide to grouch the topic drawing her eyes onto my own as I softly clear my throat.

"I've had a lot of fun today Sarah." My words capture more of her attention, her obviously waiting to see where I take this.

"And I was thinking that I would really enjoy it if we did this more often, much more often." Her smile widens as I finish.

"Are you suggesting what I think you may be? If so the answer is yes." Now it's my turn to look at her with a smile, she really was a beauty, wasn't she?

After we finish our meal I leave a generous tip, helping her from her seat as we leave for the door. However, unlike when we came in, I now have my arm wrapped tightly around her waist and she doesn't seem to mind one bit as we exit the restaurant.

Our walk home is full of light banter, but it's definitely changed, she leans into me, and the tales we tell are now more personal in nature.

It's been a while since I've dated, I idly think as I hold what I guess is my new girlfriend against my side. She's already extracted a promise for another date in two days, not that it was hard to get me to agree when this girl would be on my arm.

After a jovial elevator ride I walk her to her door, stopping only when we arrive in front of it.

"That was wonderful." My freshly dubbed girlfriend gives me a firm hug before she leaves my side, almost twirling in place to face me when we are no more than a foot apart.

"It was indeed." Before I can get a more detailed response out Sarah leans forward, her lips moving towards mine as she moves to kiss me, but unlike with Eve I close the distance of my own initiative, meeting her in the middle.

She quickly deepens it, pulling on my shirt's collar to pull my head closer to her own, her hot pink lips crashing with mine in a passionate entanglement. I idly note that she tastes of cinnamon, but I'm quickly drawn away from that thought as I stare into her eyes.

It's over all too quickly, my lips chasing her own for a moment as she pulls back to catch her breath, blushing deeply as she steps back towards her door.

"I need to go before I do something unwise." her hand fiddles with the small cross she wears around her neck, in what I assume to be a subconscious habit.

"We wouldn't want that would we? I don't want you to regret anything we do." It hurts to let her go but at the same time I know it's for the best, we have only just met and I wouldn't want to damage our budding relationship with rushed intimacy.

Soon we had parted, promises of our next date passing our lips as I made my way to my own door, my dick protesting all the way. I shake my head as I calm my own desires, knowing that good things come to those that wait.
