Mistress Dizzy

Academy of Heroes and Villains

Kijani nodded. "If someone had told me when I started school that I'd have a boyfriend by the middle of the semester, I would have called them crazy. Connor sort of... snuck up on me, to be honest. I wasn't looking, and then..." She shrugged, half smiling. "Romantic surprise attack. I can't say I regret it, but it does make certain things stickier." Her glance focused out of the windshield, for a moment. "You'll find a girl who complements you. Go for someone tough, who doesn't take a lot of bullshit."

Ben grins,glad that he has the mask on to hide the blush he knew was creeping onto his cheeks. "Thanks Kijani." He pauses for a moment, wondering whether or not he should mention what they were going to be doing soon, but decides against it. Instead, he asks, "Speaking of Connor, how have you two been? Regarding your relationship, I mean."

Kijani gave him a curious look. It wasn't really any of his business, was it? Then again, there wasn't anything to actually hide. "We're doing great. Even though we've both been busy. I plan to take him into the city and introduce him to real Italian food." She giggled softly behind her hand. "I care for him deeply, but his idea of a good meal is a can of Chef Boyardee."

(Sorry, I'm eager to post. If you want to skip the drive, feel free to ignore his question and just initiate a small time skip)Ben chuckles, "Flying spiders are actually pretty common. If a spider is small enough, it can climb to the top of something really tall, stand on its hind legs, and shoot a few strands of web. They somehow automatically from a triangular, parachute looking thing, that then enables the spider to glide for several miles under the right conditions." He opens the door to his car for Kijani, then slides into the driver's side once Kijani is in the car. As they leave the Academy, Ben asks, "So Kijani, you're a female. Have any of our classmates told you they're interested in me?"

Kijani raised her eyebrows, a faint smile tugging at her lips. "I don't have a lot of time to girl-talk with the others, unfortunately." She wondered if she needed to remedy that. Alliances needed continuous upkeep, after all. Her gaze looked over Ben studiously, before she nodded. "If I wasn't with Connor, I'd probably be looking in your direction. If it's any consolation, anyway." She shrugged a bit.

Let's have them interact, just because they haven't much so far.

Heya peoples.

I posted! It's kinda long, but I wanted to emphasize the point of Kijani looking very normal.

Once Ben finishes gathering his tools of the trade, he begins climbing the stairs leading to the roof of the main building. As he reaches the roof, his suit appears with holsters and sheaths in place for his weapons. Ben takes a calming breath at the top of the stairs, sprints across the roof, then takes a flying leap over the side of the six-story building. As Ben plummets to the ground, he spreads his arms, allowing the web-like cape on his back to expand and catch the air, acting like a hang glider. He zooms through the air toward his car, his flight, though at first steady, quickly devolves into a wavering, zigzagging arc toward the ground. With both his car and the parking lot rapidly approaching his face, Ben brings his arms to his chest, retracting the cape, then flips midair and lands lightly beside his car. He notices Kijani a few yards away and calls to her, "Come on then, let's go."

Kijani waited in the parking lot, reading the miniature copy of The Art of War that she had inside her jacket pocket. She was dressed in a conservative looking suit. Wine colored jacket with a white shirt beneath, pants, and flat shoes. Her hair was held back in a simple bun, with two slim, laquered chopsticks through it. She carried a portfolio in front of her, filled with various papers. For all intents and purposes, she could be going into a job interview rather than a fight. The only thing that was at all threatening was her jian in it's scabbard, slung across her back.

Appearances were everything.

Beneath her white shirt, Kijani had carefully constructed layers of thin, flexible tissue paper. It made no noise as she moved, and with a brush of will, she could make it bulletproof. The chopsticks in her hair had tiny hidden blades- she wasn't going to cut off anyone's hand with them, but she could easily take out someone's eyes, or ears, even give them a very vicious tracheostomy. The portfolio, of course, was filled with paper she could weaponize in seconds. She was ready, but she felt better when other people didn't know it.

She watched Ben make his entrance, gliding in gracefully through the shadows. Once he touched down, she smiled. "A flying spider." She approached his car and started to get in. "That's a serious nightmare for arachnophobes everywhere."

Kijani chuckled. "Very well. I'll be there." She hung up, and as a final act, she sent a quick text to Connor. "Not feeling well. I'll be in my room sleeping, so don't call me. See you tomorrow."

With her excuse set, she headed to the student parking lot, making sure to keep from being seen by anyone she knew.
