Akiva enjoyed all aspects about what he did for a living and while on a job he took pride on being able to get the job done as best as he could. His current job was actually something that he needed to think about, especially with his client wanting to move up the meet and greet so suddenly. Now normally he would not stand a rude customer but this guy really wasn't someone you wanted to get on the bad side of at the moment. Akiva was going to meet a man named Jacob bells, or J as he preferred to be called that. Akiva was going to meet with J as soon as possible at the location given to Akiva.

But he could not concentrate on the bus ride to his destination in Mission hills. It was a short bus ride, rather than taking hours by walking, but long enough for Akiva to get lost in thought. Akiva usually liked to wander, eat, or nap right before he had to go out on a job and sometimes he would end up in weird situations because of his weird habits. Or meeting new people. Chenoa was someone he was definitely lucky to meet, but had no illusions that he would see her again. Not with what he did, not with his duties to his sister. If he did have a chance to sit and talk with Chenoa, Akiva decided it would be the worst thing in the world.

Chenoa was doing her best to not get ahead of the bus with all of it's frequent stops. She had never taken the bus before, and didn't know the route. Her cousins have taken the bus a few times before, they said that is was about a half hour or less to get into Mission Hills. But Chenoa hardly noticed how long it had taken. The time flew by (don't mind the pun) as she followed the bus from above, her mind racing through all of the different things that Akiva could be rushing to do. Any regular job wouldn't be this important, so it had to be something more exciting than mowing lawns or pet-sitting. Maybe he was going to meet some dangerous people? Maybe he was hired muscle? Before she knew it, she and the bus were passing by the "Welcome to Mission Hills!" sign.

As The bus drove past the Mission Hill sign, Akiva sighed softly to himself. This was already a weird to start. After another ten minutes the bus came to a halt, stopping at one of its regular bus stops. As Akiva walked off the bus he recalled the address he was given. He knew the area where he was suppose to go to well enough and he had been hired by the same client enough times Akiva could walk from his home to J's and back. From the bus stop it was only a short jaunt to his destination, where his client was sitting on a rocking chair on the front porch of his house, smoking a cigeratte and playing on his phone. When Akiva came into view and was noticed by J, Akiva could do nothing but mentally sigh as hard as he could as J jumped up with his theatrics and greeted him. J spoke quickly, with a less than educated style. Akiva sighed outloud softly, then walked inside with the man.

From above, Chenoa watched the bus until she finally saw Akiva get off. Still several feet behind him, She lowered down in the sky until she was about 10 feet above the ground and shifted into a blonde cat, and landed on her feet. Because her natural hair colour is lighter, her fur was always lighter when she shifted to an animal with fur. The only thing she could change was hair length. And when her fur was ling, sometimes a bit of purple would show up at the ends of her fur in patches, normally at the end of her tail or anywhere where her fur was particularly long. In this case, to follow Akiva, she was a shorthair tabby. She followed him quite easily, walking behind him on the sidewalk and weaving into gardens when she thought that he would turn around to see her.  Eventually he stopped at a grungy old house. He barely made it to the front stairs before a man dressed like a wannabe gangster from the 2010's stepped out and greeted him openly with a smile and brought him inside. She thought about shifting into a mouse to get into the house, but didn't want to shift again if she didn't have to. Luckily, she noticed a basement window that she could jump into, leading to an unfinished basement with a few other cats in it that must have sneaked in for shelter if they didn't belong to the man who lived here. They looked at her weirdly as she came in, knowing that she was a stranger to this town, but didn't stop her from coming in. She meowed a quick greeting but didn't stick around for introductions. She easily found her way to the stairs and found where Akiva and the weirdly dressed dude were.

She sat off to the side so not to get attention in case the man didn’t own any cats. She didn’t want to get  swatted away. So she found a shelf to climb onto to the top of to sit and listen quietly.

Akiva walked inside and sat down at the table in the living with the man in white. “ So..what was so important you had to interrupt my personal time and rush me ”, Akiva asked the man impatiently.

The man tried to awkwardly laugh away the tension, to no avail. He stood up and began pacing as he spoke.

“ Ok man listen so like I need you to break into a guys house. Nothing too serious, but the guys safe is gonna be emptied and all it’s contents are gonna be put into an actual bank safety deposit box. Which will suck major d**k for you brotha. You know Yo boi J got you tho ”, J said trying to recover and calm down Akiva.

Akiva drummed his fingers on the table impatiently. Then J nervously smacked his leg as if he just remembered something. “ Oh yea ”, J said, “ I almost forgot to mention.......so you need to steal the safes contents tonight.......while his fancy dinner party is going on. ” Akiva curled his fingers into a fist. This is why Camille hated him taking jobs from people like this. Akiva stood up and started to walk towards the door. Seeing this, J jumped forward and ran In front of the door. “Hey brotha ok listen, you do this for me I will pay you doub - no wait triple” , J said desperately. Akiva sighed loudly and crossed his arms. He waited a few moments, and while he was thinking he noticed that there was a cat wandering around. Akiva didn’t think J had a cat. Then he turned and looked at J. “ I’ll do the job for the normal rate, but you owe. Big. And don’t ask for me for awhile. I’m sick of seeing your face. ” Akiva held out his hand impatiently. J looked stunned for a moment, then scrambled to pull a piece of folded paper out of his pocket and into Akivas hand. “ Y-yea dawg no sweat. That’s the details right there, all of them I swear. ”

Akiva said nothing, he simple turned away and walked out of the house after pocketing the paper.

'Breaking and entering?' Chenoa thought as she watched the two men converse, 'Why didn't he tell me about that? That's so exciting!' Then she realized that he probably didn't tell her because that's illegal and they had just met and he didn't know how she would react if he told her. She also was wondering why he was taking a job from such an unorganized douchebag. But there he was, taking the info anyway. She hopped down from the shelf and followed Akiva at his heels this time. She thought that maybe she could reveal herself as a person with these abilities and get in on this super exciting job. By the time Akiva got to the door, she relized that she had no idea how to do that while in the form of an animal if she couldn't speak to him. There was no way that she was shifting back to her human form because she still had no clothes. She thought for a second that maybe she could turn into a parrot or something and tell him. Bet then again, she had no idea how he would react to a cat just turning into a bird right in front of him and telling him it's the girl he had just met almost an hour ago. And suddenly they were both at the sidewalk and she had to do something. There was no turning back now. So thinking quickly and nervously, she just meowed loudly at him.

Akiva stopped at the sound of a cat, making a cat noise rather loudly. He chuckled to himself and thought about how off he was, to let a dumb cat make him jump. He turned towards the direction of the cat and spotted it immediately. He looked around and saw no one else was around, so he knelt down and offered the cat an open hand. “Um....hi kitty. You lost? Or are you an outdoor cat?” Akiva suddenly lit up, figuratively, and let his back pack slide down and off his arm. He went through it and pulled out a blueberry muffin stashed in a ziplock bag. Akiva tore off a tiny chunk and offered to the cat.

Chenoa was normally a better at thinking on her feet, but the last time she revealed herpowers was to her parents at age 10. And they were spritual people who easily accepted it. She didn't really know how Akiva would react. He held out the chunk of blueberry muffin to her in his hand and she froze for a second. Then, she made her fur grow out in a way that she looked like she just poofed out into a longhair cat. She hoped that maybe seeing a strange blue-eyed yellow cat with purple on the tip of her tail and the front of her chest, the same colour as her hair in her human form, would make something click in his head and realize who she was.


Akiva tilted his head when the cat began.....changing. It seemed somewhat familiar, like he had recently seen this cat. Akiva snapped his fingers. “ Your J’s cat right? I saw you in the house a minute ago right? ” Akiva scratched his head and sighed. Then he stood up and motioned for the cat to follow. “ You seem smart. Wanna come with me for a bit? J is crap human being you don’t wanna stay with him. ” Akiva went to go pick up his bag, which was on the ground and open. Inside his bag was his food supplies and an extra pair of clothes, some sweat pants and long sleeve shirt.

Akiva stopped midway reaching down and realized something. “ Wait......did you just grow your fur? Your kind a special huh? Well........ ” Akiva looked around again, and when he felt like he was sure no one was around he looked back at the cat then closed his eyes. When he opened them the whites of his eyes were pure black and his eye color was bright red. He held up a hand and yellow energy misted out of his palm for a second then disappeared. He eyes changed back too. “ I’m special too. Don’t tell anyone kitty. ”

" Oh fuck," she said in surprise, but of course it only came out as an awkward meow. Chenoa had no idea what Akiva did with his eyes or what else he could do, but she felt a whole lot more comfortable outing her abilities to him now. She shifted into golden lab and snatched his clothes from his bag in her jaw. She had no idea how to quickly converse with him without stealing his clothes. She ran to the nearest hiding spot, which happened to be a skinny shadowed alley into someone's backyard. She shifted and got changed as quickly as possible just in case he came after her. She emerged barefoot and in Akiva's clothes, which were several sizes to big on her. "So, good thing you have abilities too, that makes this a whole lot easier." She had to hold up the sweatpants as she walked towards him, and found a drawstring to tie tighter on her waist.

Akiva watched with anticipation as the cat changed forms. Ok nothing that.......ok so yea that’s weird, Akiva thought, but he can heal injuries with his hands almost instantly so maybe it’s a mutant animal. Then when it took his clothes and ran away, Akiva became very confused. What the shit? He would have been ok, honest, if Chenoa hadn’t come out from the direction the animal went with his clothes. She was wearing his clothes. After she spoke he tried to recover his confidence but he was very surprised. “Dove? You can do stuff like that............No *** **.......” too be honest Akiva has not had many interactions with other powered folks. A few  times he has had to contest a job with another power user but outside of work he had never met another powered person.

“ Wait. Did you follow me? All the way from downtown? ”

"I shapeshift. I turnied into a bird to follow your bus. It was easy. Also, I really wanted to know where it was you were going. It seemed mysterious and exciting." She instictively grazed her hands over her hips looking for pockets. She found them and slipped her hands in. "Sorry for stalking you by the way.." she added in sheepishly.

She piped up againquite quickly when she remembered her idea. "Also! I'd like to help you with this job you just picked up. I think that I could be a really great asset, and I don't want anything in return. I can also wash your clothes, I kinda can't help slobbering a bit when I'm a dog..."


Akiva simply stood there, listening and trying to think of the best response. It wasn’t the worst idea to have a shape shifter on his side, especially when his job tonight........his job! Akiva realized something important. “So if you were that cat in the house then you heard that in a few hours I have to infiltrate a dinner party. It would be a lot easier to maintain a cover if....”, Akiva extends his hand out with the palm up. Gesturing as if he was holding out his hand for Chenoa, “You go with me tonight as my date. If you agree to that, and agree to follow my orders you can help.”


"Sure!" Chenoa was already super excited. She was already bursting with questions about the plan. "Do you have the floor plans of the place? If it's a dinner party, it sounds like it'll be fancy. We're going to need nice clothes to crash the party. Is it a combination safe?" Her hands were already out of her pockets, shaking around and making patterns and things in the air as she spoke and walked closer, thinking that if the party was that night, they needed to get a move on.
