[B][U]FRICTION[/U][/B]

Cypress arrives in Second city her object a contract working for one of the local Kingpins or Cartels. She is a mercenary meta known in some circles but a mystery to the public at large. It is those in government circles that she dislikes the most so when 7 men armed with energy weapons confront her she is more than simply annoyed.

"Stand where you are and don't make a move Friction or my men and I'll smoke you where you stand" says the leader of the little boy scout troop of some ABC fed group.

[B]Sure Mister just please don't shoot me[/B] Cypress says as she pouts raising her hands.

She snaps her fingers as she zero frictions the entire area around herself. This causes the feds to twitch which in the total absence of friction sends them all tumbling to the hard pavement. Several of their weapons go off sending burning beams of plasma into the ceiling, the paving and into the railroad car behind Cypress.

She spins like an Ice skater down to one knee giggling as all around her she hears people screaming in fear an panic.
[B]You know it was simply the dumbest thing you could do trying to take me out in such a crowded place.
Well I'd love to stick around and see what kind of back-up you've arranged but I need to go an freshen up, TTFN boys[/B] 

She lunges forward and skates out of the station rapidly increasing her speed as she goes. She's soon flying through traffic of second city at over 200 miles per hour. Then she drops into the Subway systems tunnels looking for a place to loose her tails.

When she pops out of the tunnel an into daylight Friction leaves the tracks before she's forced to play chicken with an express. Surveying around herself she spots an old merchants street containing everything she'll need now that she's been forced to abandon her luggage. 

She buys a wig of long black hair at a beauty supply then enters a place called "End of the Line for Fashion" a second hand store that caters to the trendy hipsters that are gentrifing the area.

So she spends her time shopping and trying on clothes. Eventually she has a new a gaudy wardrobe and a full on Morticia Adams look. She walks out of the store and a block later into a small electronics store where she buys three burner phones
