Punisher has posed:
It's been a while since Iron Fist took Davos to wherever-the-hell, which was just fine for the Punisher. Without some asshole life stealing around the place, that was another threat dealt with.

Now, the Punisher was on stakeout -on a rooftop this time- with a set of high-powered binoculars. A sniper rifle was on the ground, in a secure briefcase, waiting to be assembled.

Across the way was a mostly unpowered building.... except the top floor. There was some kind of meeting taking place there... and the binoculars were aimed right for it, with Punisher listening in using a shotgun microphone aimed right at them.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers just happened to be lurking on rooftops..why, you say? Because she was trailing some sort of weirdo demon that liked to climb onto rooftops and jump on unsuspecting people from above.

Of course, she wasn't really expecting to find anyone else on a stakeout on *her* rooftop, so she pauses a bit when she sees a guy peering over the edge with binoculars, some kinda case next to him. She narrows her eyes, creeping closer for a better look. He could just be a voyeur or something, maybe even bird watching, but you never know..

Punisher has posed:
He doesn't even turn around as she gets close. Punisher just keeps his eyes on the gathering for now. "Whoever you are, I'm not in any mood to be snuck up on." He puts the binoculars on the ground, and turns around to regard Buffy.

It's at this point she can easily see the trenchcoat, skull vest, and gear web filled with a small armory.

"Who are you?" Punisher grates out.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers narrows her eyes, pausing as she sees the guy's rather..Ominous outfit. It kinda looks familiar maybe, but she's not sure where. "Well gee, I could ask you the same question, what, are you on your way to a halloween party? I mean, that sure doesn't look like a very cheerful super hero getup to me..On the other hand, if you're one of those badass supervillains..Well, I hope you're not causing trouble." eyes narrow a bit, folding her arms. She sure seems pretty confident for a seemingly helpless girl. Except that the way she carries herself may hint that she is a lot more worldly than first appears.

Punisher has posed:
"You can call me the Punisher." Punisher grates out in reply. "Right now, I'm just doing surveillance. My target isn't here and is unlikely to be." Punisher narrows his eyes as he watches her, "Usually only the Foot clan are hopping rooftops. Are you with them?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smirks, "The punisher? Seriously? Okaaay, definitely NOT a superhero name." she shrugs, "Oh yeah, my name's Buffy. That's it, no fancy costume, not really a costume gal." she pauses at the name. "Wait, what? The Foot clan? You know about them?" Buffy frowns a bit, pondering, "Hmm that's interesting, that Shadowy figure mentionned them the other day, said they were handing out those cursed coins...Oh.." eyes narrow warily on him, "what do you know about them..Are YOU with them?"

Punisher has posed:
"No." Punisher states, simply.

"You don't have their usual garb, so probably not one of their minions." Punisher turns back to look at the meeting across the way, binoculars up, "And no... my target is a Foot supporter. I'm tryin' to break up the links."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers blinks slowly, peering over the edge. "Hmm, 'Target' you say?" she clearly doesn't trust this..Punisher guy. Not dressed in death garbs like that. But if he's targetting one of The Foot.."Okaay, and what exactly are you gonna do? If you're just spying on them, that's one thing but.." she peers at the briefcase curiously, wondering what's in it. Could be just papers, or..Something else entirely.

Punisher has posed:
"Why does it matter to you what I do?" Punisher gruffly replies, without looking away.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers rolls her eyes, "Geez, I don't have to work this hard with most people. I mean, hello, me, hero, you? Potential villain. If you're planning on killing someone, even if he is an evil Ninja Killer guy, then I'll still have to stop you, comprende?"

Punisher has posed:
"You have an overinflated opinion of yourself. I get you." Punisher replies, *still* without looking away from her. "I don't need anything from you, and I'm probab-well now, seems like he's come after all."

Indeed, across the way Buffy could probably barely see someone new at the roundtable meeting near the end.

Then, Punisher slowly stands, tosses the binoculars to the side, and finally turns standing to directly face Buffy.

From this vantage, she can easily see that Punisher is heavily geared. He's just as well armed as a self-sufficient special forces commando.

"I was goin' to capture the target. He has information I want." Punisher grates out, then narrows his eyes at her, "You gonna try to stop me?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smirks and shrugs, holding out her arms as if in surrender. "Hey, I've got questions for the guy myself. As long as you're not planning on killing him, I have no issues." she takes a couple steps back but doesn't leave just yet, a little uncertain. She doesn't like all the gear he's carrying. Can she trust this guy not to shoot first and ask questions later? But all the same, she has her own quarry to stalk, and she does catch sight of a shadow flickering over a nearby rooftop. "Huh. Good luck with that, I got my own prey to follow tonight." and with a grin and a wave, she darts off, as quickly as she came.
