Maybe. I don't even know where Lee went.

@t2wave

That's the point of a Thief lol. I am going to have a lot of fun with this :) -Update- Ok I am writing this so the paths split up a bit. Lets see who can find Lee first

Academy of Heroes and Villains

lol NP Katherine. As for everyone else chasing Lee...feel free to pick a route and see where it will take you :) Oh quick off topic question. Does anyone here use Ebay? I'm asking this because I am getting ready to move into a new place here in less than a month and I was thinking of buying one or two things.

Academy of Heroes and Villains

I am officially vastly confused

@KatherinWinter

Lee swiped one of Kat's books and is fleeing from her. In the process he used a smoke bomb which triggered the sprinkler systems in that hallway and has vanished from sight.

Academy of Heroes and Villains

Oh crap now Flood is involved. Lee's day is now going to take an interesting turn. Ironically though...he's someone Lee wouldn't mind having on his team lol.

The kiss made her feel nothing - maybe that was sad but it was definitely a thought for another time - but it definitely worked as a distraction. She didn't have to wait for his flaunting to notice what had happened, the glaring blankness of the table was immediately evident to her. Kat looked up to the doorway as he disappeared and had to decide then and there what to do. If she was another girl she would go straight to an authority figure; the case was damning when spun the right way which would be easy enough. But she was not another girl and the weak, vulnerable act wouldn't work around here. Instead she stood and walked - not run - out and into the halls. Unfortunately for Lee she had been in attendance for far longer than she liked, she knew the building inside and out. Seeing the way he ran off Kat ducked in the opposite direction, expertly navigating her way around. She briefly considered meeting him with fire but the set-up would be no where near the payoff; that was just the dramatic flair that would get her killed one day. She walked out in time to see Lee turn the corner and stood her ground, blocking his way as those who were around quickly scuttled away. "That was a neat trick but it won't work twice. Seems a shame to waste it on a book you can't read." One look at him now showed the contents of the book were secondary to its worth. She noted his staff but drew no weapon of her own, it would only reveal a power of hers anyway which she would forestall for as long as possible. Keep your hands clean. "Give it back, or we start playing the game by my rules. And here I was thinking we were on the same team..." As she stood tall before him she considered the many responses and briefly wondered whose word would be believed: the thief or the deceiver.

@Klyix

Well that was definitely Lee's awful luck for him. In hindsight he should have focused on understanding his environment first instead of looking for potential recruits. In fact Lee broke thieving rule no. 2 always understand your surroundings and plan ahead! Ugh if Phantom was here now the old man would have smacked him over the head with a book not to dissimilar to the one he just stole. Feet came skidding to a halt against the tile floor screeching in the process. Brown eyes peered from underneath the hood at the woman standing before him. Then Lee did the only thing Lee would confronted by an annoyed woman, he smirked. "Good I want to see what your rules are Kat. If we are going to be on the same team lets see the Kat chase the rodent." Ok that was without a doubt one of the dumbest lines he ever said to a girl. "By the way...." Lee said slowly taking a step back. "Did I tell you my rule no. 3?" Lee asked taking yet another step back the grin on his face still visible beneath is dark hood. "Improvise!" with a twirl of his staff he slammed one of the ends resembling a wrench down causing both ends of the weapon to suddenly release its smoke bombs. Plumes of thick dark smoke quickly filled the hallway startling some of the students present watching the scene. Several shrieked, some swore outloud with others whispering it under their breaths. The students' outcries of protest towards this situation only grew worse when the smoke reached the sprinkler systems and set them off releasing showers of water down upon the students who quickly began to exit the hallway and flee from the minor chaos that was occurring. By the time the smoke cleared, Lee was gone the only signs of where the thief could have gone was one of the nearby classroom doors hanging open. While the other possible escape route was a nearby ventilation shaft with the grate barely hanging to the wall above a row of lockers that looked barely big enough to fit someone of Lee's thin shape.

Lee's a dead man

Academy of Heroes and Villains

They certainly weren't following the usual script. 'Who are your parents? What are your powers?' Change could be refreshing, change could be dangerous. He was just a cock-sure teenager with something to prove. Then again it could be too muence, the stranger who seemed to already know so much. She listened to his proposal showing no obvious signs of interest or disinterest, tearing the bread to pieces as she ate. Kat wasn't here to make friends, but she wasn't here to make enemies either. Clean hands, that's what's important. She was quiet only for a moment, before she turned to look at him again. "You're the one who claims to be so great at reading people. Are you willing to test it? Throw me something curious and find out." She said with a smirk. "But remember, boys who play with fire get their fingers burnt." It wasn't a threat, that much was clear, maybe a warning was is more apt.

@Klyix

"You will always be singed when playing with fire. A boy cries and pout. A man will laugh it off." Lee said leaning forward "Now that I have you lured in. Let's see how you react to a bit of curiosity." Lee said saying a quick prayer to his late mentor with what he was about to do in his head. "Let the game begin Kat." and before Kat could respond he quickly pressed his lips against hers. The action was sudden and quick. Kat had wanted to lure the young thief in with her actions. Instead he made sure to take use of his greatest assest. The element of surprise. Then within a few seconds that felt longer than they should have he disconnected from her. "Good luck." Lee whispered before getting up. Of course she may do nothing just to spite him and prove he wasnt curious enough Then again maybe her book he swiped while they were lip locked would. Standing at the door to the cafeteria, Lee smiled holding up said piece of arcane literature and gave a small bkw before quickly dashing out the door. "OK I have about ten seconds before she comes through here and destroy me. " Lee said quickly tucking the book in his jacket and pulling his hood over his head as he dashed througg the halls. Reaching onto his back Lee removed his staff which extended into its full position. "Let the party start" he said

Hmmm *strokes long magnificent beard* I think I may have an idea....perhaps a gentleman character is in order.

"I don't intend too. I rather like the name Kat actually." Lee responded back with a small mischievous smile. "Though I have to agree the atmosphere of this entire place is as you say mind-numbing. It may as well be a prison instead of a school." Lee said with a bored sigh looking around the cafeteria as the various peer groups converse with one another. "Instead of drifting along with the current. Would you instead like to make a few ripples?" He suggested the grin forming back on his face as he watched her continue to eat before taking another bite out of his apple and swallowing. "Its just something to muse over." Lee said with a shrug. "If this routine truly bores you I may be able to help break it. I can start the fire...but will you throw the wood and gas onto it?" he asked with a small smile

Academy of Heroes and Villains

ok, BTW Katherine I really love your profile pic :)
