Time: Midday --- The duo had arrived in Niagara Falls sometime after the morning commute, leaving a desolate town where only a few cars came through. They wandered around the town until they found a small shopping center harboring a quiet little diner in one of the corners. The pair had gained themselves a booth and now sat across from one another, both scanning the menu in silence. Tandy had been reading the menu thoroughly, mentally noting what she was going to order when her concentration was broken by Lincoln. [b]"What's the plan? We gonna actually grab a room here tonight and rest or do you wanna keep going?"[/b] Tandy kept quiet for a while before answering, [b]"We're gonna chill here for a day and then try to catch a ferry or train, didn't I tell you that? I swear I already said this.."[/b] She tapped her thumb on her lip thoughtfully before continuing [b]"Linc, relax man. We'll be fine. Ok?"[/b] He gave a simple nod in reply before the waitress came over. [b]"So what'll it be today you two?"[/b] She eyed Lincoln more than Tandy, seeming to be a bit suspicious of the boy. Tandy noticed this as well as Lincoln, causing her to speak in order to break the tension. [b]"Okay we'll have two orders of hot wings for appetizers, an order of onion rings and we'll both have a coke. We'll want more after that but just start us there okay?"[/b] Her voice was airy and full of cheer. The lady nodded before walking off to get the order. Lincoln watched her leave before he leaned over the table slowly [b]"What the hell was that? Did you see how she looked at me?"[/b] Tandy nodded but didn't want to pay any mind to it, she decided to change the subject. [b]"After we eat we'll get a phone book and call some motels and see if we can't snag a room."[/b] Before long the waitress returned and placed the drinks in front of them. Within seconds a second waitress, one they were unfamiliar with, delivered the appetizers and the pair dug in silently. After a while the waitress returned, expecting more orders. [b]"Okay now I think we'll both take a nice cheeseburger, they're good right?"[/b] she paused for a moment awaiting a reply when the waitress kept silent, confused Tandy continued [b]"Uhh.. and I would like a chocolate milkshake. What about you Lincoln?"[/b] As soon as the kid opened his mouth to speak, the Waitress cut him off. [b]"Listen you folk gonna pay for this or you expectin' another freebee? Because you pull shit again and we'll call the cops."[/b] her eyes directed more at Lincoln than Tandy. Before she could speak, Lincoln shot up and began shouting. [b]"Listen lady! I dunno who you think I am but if this is some racist shit, I'm gonna see my lawyer. You wanna play this game? I just got into town today an-"[/b] The lady began waving her hands quickly and apologizing causing him to stop mid tirade. [b]"Oh my god, I am so sorry. I thought you were one of those black wolves who hangout around town."[/b] Tandy raised her eyebrows at the lady, cocking her head to the side [b]"Black wolves?"[/b]. [b]"They're a local gang that recently has gotten real ballsy. They take the teenage angst out on us regular citizens and there aren't enough police to deal with them. Nobody knows where they even came from, rumor has it some of them are those [i]freaks[/i]."[/b] the woman seemed to shudder a bit before she continued [b]"Listen I'm sorry for this misunderstanding I'll get your food and it'll all be half price okay?"[/b] the two nodded and the lady walked away, covering her reddening face. The pair exchanged glances and both seemed to agree, this town needed help before they were off to detroit. While Tandy felt a knot grow in her stomach, being faced with an actual problem Lincoln felt his adrenaline surge, he was ready for his first Hero job. --- [u]A few hours later..[/u] The pair had gotten themselves a room in one of the less expensive motels in the area and now sat on one bed with a large mass of clothing on the other. They had gone to about five stores getting together clothing, small trinkets and various pieces of material to make themselves pop. Lincoln had been less interested in their appearance but Tandy assured him all day, it mattered. [b]"So.. what do we wear?"[/b] Tandy asked looking at the mass of different material and accessories they had gathered. She held a pair of scissors in her hand and held limited sewing knowledge, having made a small hobby of customizing her own clothing. Lincoln turned his head to the side and looked down at her smiling [b]"Well I'm gonna wear a cloak. What are you gonna wear? Daggers?"[/b] he chuckled at his joke, receiving an elbow in the ribs as a reply. [b]"This is serious."[/b] She stood up and grabbed a heavy linen cloth that she could easily turn into a cloak. [b]"Here I'll use this as your cloak, just get some dark clothes to wear under it. I'm gonna go in the bathroom and try some things on and then we compare okay?"[/b] He nodded and she quickly grabbed a large armful of lightly colored materials and went into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. The two now found themselves taking the first step in being heroes, making their costumes.
