*BANG BANG!!! BANG BANG BANG!!!! RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!!!*
The gunshots ring out as a trio small band of thieves rush from from jewelry store. Do they have the loot? No. What the heck are they shooting at? The reason they don't have the loot of course! An obsurdly large fist comes flying out, connecting with the one of the guys sending him flying. Who is connected to that crazy fist? That would be Ginger Singh. She's not a really known super hero. She has been working with SHIELD pretty much since she got her powers. Several more gunshots go off and her body absorbs the shock. Sadly her clothing is not so lucky. She is starting to enter the Wardrobe Malfunction territory.
15 Minutes ago...
Ginger Singh was flustered. She needed to get out of the Triskelion. Tonight seemed like a nice night. So she was out going for a walk. The moon was out, not a cloud in the sky. Everything just seemed to be going well. That is until, someone broke into a little jewelry store. She was not terribly far away so, she took off running towards it. Thats when they began shooting. When the shooters realized that they weren't killing her they realized she was powered and decided to forego the robbery and get out of dodge.
Back to now... Ginger looks down at her clothing and sighs, "Dammit!" She Punches outward and wraps up one of the thugs with her arm and then lets the elastic effects of her body take effect. He is pulled back into the jewelry store and let go as she sidesteps and lets him go sailing into a wall...
- Wasp (van Dyne) has posed:
The gunshots are a rather efffective deterrent for most people. The shots fired do cause the sensible people to flee away from the store.
Well...most people.
One person in particular happened to be walking out front, her stride purposeful as she walks along the sidewalk, taking her time to windowshop. Or, rather, it is more like inspect the offerings, as the figure seems to pause more in front of the dress shops than not, noting with some amusement the fashions on display. And...as she approaches the jewelry store, the woman looks up just in time to see one of the undesirables fly back into the store, pulled in by....someone, or something. With a shake of the head, the woman tosses off a hat she was wearing and walks into the store. "Last time I check, dearies, this wasn't a bank. There's not going to be any withdrawals from here tonight."
What sort of person in her right mind would bother to walk into a store that is clearly in the process of being robbed? With the hat off, it is easy to see who it is, for her face is recognizable to most of the public. The petite figure is Janet Van Dyne. Also known as the Wasp.
If one superhero was giving the would be robbers fits, then they are not at all happy to see that a second just casually strolls in.
- Singh has posed:
The Robbers are now freaked! 100% Freaked! Those who haven't gotten their butts kicked already are trying to flee. "Enough Please! You got us!!" one of them states and then continues firing at the too women.
Ginger keeps fighting, She's not the strongest of fighters. She knows a little about defending herself at least. There are shades of Agent May in her defenses when it comes to hand to hand stuff. When Wasp joins the fight, she just gives a smirk. "Hiya! Nice to see ya!" With a quick motion she wraps herself around one of the thugs that happens to be shooting at the two. "Drop your guns or I'm going to pretend I'm a Python." Then for effect she pulls herself tighter, wrapping around again. "I'm not playing with you."
- Wasp (van Dyne) has posed:
Janet blinks in mild surprise as she sees another in the store, fighting. And...moreso, the method of fighting. But only mild surprise. After all, Jan can shrink, fly and sting. Seeing someone do a pretty killer Mr. Fantastic impression is only going to slow her down for a bit. She does flash a smile towards Ginger as she seems to shrink in front of her eyes, dropping to a half-inch tall almost instantly. "Hope you don't mind if I join the party?"
Janet doesn't wait for a response. A quick yellow burst of light emerges from her hands, catching the shooter on the wrist, which in turn forces him to drop the gun. The miniscule figure zips close, flying on insect wings. "I'd listen to the lady, boys. She looks like she means business.
- Singh has posed:
"The More the Merrier!" Ginger replies as she gives another little wrap around to tighten on the man. The driver takes off. He's not sticking around anymore for this. The man who is starting to have trouble breathing gets his hand zapped and then finally lets go of the gun. Ginger unwraps herself from the man and reforms her body. "Now sit down and wait for the cops with your friends." The others are wanting to get out of there but they dare not run now. Plus their ride is gone.
Ginger gets out a zip tie and ties the man's hands behind his back. Her eyes catch a mirror and she can see the damage done to her clothing. "Dammit. I liked this outfit." Its one thing to blame it all on bullet holes but, her stretching did a number to it as well. Right now her top is barely maintaining her modesty and her pants... well They partially got the banner treatment.
- Wasp (van Dyne) has posed:
It doesn't take long at all for Janet to regain full size. And...the funny thing is that her clothing seems none the worse for wear. That...is more than she could say for Ginger's ensemble, though. "Oh, sweety. You're doing this with just normal fabrics? That isn't going to do at all." Leave it to Janet to take a foiled robbery attempt and twist it into a fashion discussion. "This kind of strain happen frequently? I...could probably design something that will stay intacts longer." She glances at the others, then walks over to pick up the gun with two fingers gently and places it on the counter for the police.
Then, as an afterthought, the Wasp offers introductions. "Oh, silly me! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Jan." No last name given...but it may be pretty obvious who exactly Jan is anyways.
- Singh has posed:
Ginger laughs a little, "yeah. It happens a lot. I'm running out of clothes. I just dunno what to do about it. I can't afford to do much. I have a little money saved up but, Well, I didn't plan on becoming stretchy." She moves over and zipties another of the thugs.
She laughs a little, "You're The Wasp. Janet Van Dyne. Fashion Designer and so on. I've not been able to buy any of your stuff. I was saving up to open a resturant. My name is Ginger Singh. I am a umm, consultant for SHIELD.
- Wasp (van Dyne) has posed:
There isn't even a blush of modesty or a batting of an eye as Ginger identifies Janet. It must be something she is used to. However, she does note the particular lamentation that Ginger is having of keeping a wardrobe intact. There is a pause as Janet ponders something...though it is quickl pushed aside with a smile. "A pleasure to meet you, Ginger."
Then...that pensive gaze is back. The thousand yard stare that indicates that Janet is thinking of something. "Running out of clothes? We simply can't have that at all." Janet looks over Ginger with a critical eye, sizing up the superhero quickly. "Well, I can not replenish your whole wardrobe, but....I could provide you with a couple of pieces? Perhaps even a custom outfit that will stretch with you? I mean....if I can make an outfit shrink with me, then causing it to grow should be somewhat easy."
- Singh has posed:
Ginger Singh smiles, and its not a fake smile. Its a whole hearted one. Her gaze goes to Wasp. "Yeah I know. Not like I need much though. Most of my stuff was and is stained beyond recognition. I've been working in a kitchen for years. Only recently did I get out of that life." She doesn't go into the fact that she is a full on mystery for SHIELD and its unknown if she is completely stable or not.
She snickers,"I look forward to seeing what you can come up with. It could be fun to be able to do crazy stuff without running the risk of winding up trying to fight in the nude." She laughs.
- Wasp (van Dyne) has posed:
"Oh....we can make sure that nude fighting doesn't happen. It will be easy, I promise." An unusual gesture from the fashionista...but something Jan seems comfortable in providing. "Besides...it will be fun. I get to expand my social circle and you get to not worry about ended up in the tabloids for all the wrong reasons." With that, Jan extends one hand in greeting, while the other ducks into a pocket and extracts a smartphone that couldn't possibly have fit in there unless it was half the size. "If you want to trade contact info, then we can get working on that sooner than later."
