Jessie chuckled as her excitable friend took the bait, dropping a tip on the table and racing out of the restaurant. It wasn't that Jessie didn't want to help tutor Zoey, it was just that there were so many other things to do, and this would at least be exciting. Grabbing the money Zoey had dropped on the table, Jessie pocketed it before heading for the door. As soon as she'd cleared the threshold and stepped out into the open air, the technokinetic girl sent out a mental call, 'hearing' her prized invention respond with its own signal. Dropping her backpack onto a nearby bench, Jessie began to retrieve her supplies. Her goggles, designed to withstand high winds and give information on a dozen different spectrums. Her costume, the reddish-brown cloak with its orange hood. A click of her booted heels confirmed the magnets embedded inside were functioning. Grabbing a few padlocks, Jessie dropped the backpack to the side of the bench and locked it there, along with sealing its pouches. She had her own small security system built inside as well, so anyone trying to steal her stuff would have a nasty surprise.

Finally done getting ready, Jessie took off running in the direction of the fire. Her heart pounded in her chest as her boots pounded against the wooden slats of the boardwalk. Ahead was the railing leading to a ten foot drop to the street. As she approached, Jessie [color=662d91]BLINKED[/color] out of her position and reappeared above the railing. Pushing off with her heels, she propelled herself into the air, gritting her teeth and willing her board to--

Catch her! The homebuilt hoverboard rocketed out from under the boardwalk where it had been following her and snapped to the magnets in her boots. Lightning Bug whooped excitedly and leaned forward, commanding the unique invention to rocket through the city streets until she could see the fire. Grim was here already, because of course she was. Jessie slowed her approach and flew the machine higher, getting a bird's eye view of the scene. It was chaos, with a dozen vigilantes ambling around, ducking in and out of the burning building as it threatened to collapse. Grim would be one of them, if she didn't have a friendly Bug in the sky.

[color=92278f]"Lightning Bug to Grim, come in Grim."[/color] She said, keying on the communication link she'd built into her goggles and Grim's mask. [color=92278f]"I've got eyes in the sky, a nice overview of our little campfire. Got a lot of competition today, you're gonna want to move fast before everyone else saves all the civilians."[/color] Jessie looked up at the circling helicopter and squinted as she realized there were some kind of small drones hovering around too. [color=92278f]"Not to mention the government boys are here too, I'll be keeping an eye on them. No sense crossing Uncle Sam today, am I right? Let me know if you need anything, I'll be watching out of you."[/color]

Keying off the comm link, Lightning Bug reached out towards a nearby drone, sending it a mental signal to come closer. It quickly broke off from its patterned loop and settled on her outstretched hand. [color=92278f]"Hey there, little buddy."[/color] She said, examining it closely. [color=92278f]Let's find out where you come from...[/color] Bug began to probe into the complex computer programming of the drone, digging for where it came from and what it was doing. The process was slower than she'd like, there were layers of layers of encryption here that even her naturally aligned brain was having trouble parsing. Finally though, she had a breakthrough. 

Dr. Fang

Surveillance Swarm

Bastion Liaison

Sh!t.

Pulling her mind out of the drone, Lightning bug looked around at the chaos below. There, beside Devil. That was likely Dr. Fang, with the laptop, getting live feeds form her drones. Live feeds that Lightning Bug was now caught on, tampering with one of said drones! She turned back to the tiny robot in her hand and grimaced. [color=92278f]"Uh... Hi Dr. Fang! Sorry about that, just checking to see where the swarm of robots came from please don't arrest me I'm just trying to help!"[/color] She cried before tossing the locust-like robot back into the air and making a beeline for the other side of the burning building.
