Adrien Agreste (142) has posed:
Nighttime. Harlem.

With Ladybug promising Chat Noir that he wouldn't be doing the superhero thing alone, the pair were out learning the city. The pair swung and leaped, respectively, after each other, almost seeming to be playing an elaborate, superpowered game of cat and mouse... cat and bug... tag-you're-it....chase.

"Too slow to cat-ch me, My Lady! But don't get to feline bad. I know you'll get the hang of it soon!" Chat Noir is quipping as he slips through another fire escape railing and up to a roof top filled with laundry lines.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
Because, maybe, this time she could manage to balance life... Maybe...Probably not. Sleep is overrated anyhow. Right?

Ladybug lands on the roof a heartbeat after Chat, eyes narrowing faintly. "You're quips are kinda spotty there, Mon Chaton. Is something bugging you?"

The yo-yo whips out to catch something on the next roof and soon she's swinging past him. "I'm sure I can wing it and do just fine!" Clearly, she's been hanging out with the kitty for too long.

Superwoman has posed:
    Above the city, far above, someone else is on patrol. Superwoman soars above the streets, watching in quiet the world below. Watching the people as they go about their lives, and two in particular as they jump from roof top to roof top. This, surely, warranted investigation. For now, though, Superwoman took the position of a silent watcher- above both of their heads, in the air, using her abilities to watch and listen.

Adrien Agreste (142) has posed:
"Me-ouch, M'Lady. Going fur the puns; that's a low blow," Chat retorts as Ladybug swings herself past him. He's grinning, forcing himself to run a bit faster. Staff pulled, he sets up by extending it, looking to pole vault back into the lead. As he runs for the edge of the next rooftop, a commotion starts down below. Harlem, at night, it's a mugging!

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
That Chat didn't land behind or in front of her is what has Ladybug skidding to a stop and turning to look over her shoulder at him. "Chat?" She walks her way back to the edge and peers over to see what he's looking at before her eyes lift to him and a brow arches.

This is not their thing. There's no butterfly involved there. "Call the police." And yet, even as she says it, she just knows they're going to end up getting involved. Because that's the kind of person Chat is.

This is so not what she signed up for!

Superwoman has posed:
    Involved in a mugging? Superwoman would be there. She's there in a moment- at the edge of the alley- shadowed by the lights behind her. "Hello." she offers simply to the mugging in process. "You are in the act of committing crime." She looks at the ongoings here. "I am Superwoman- and I'm not in the mood to fight anyone this evening. I recommend you put down any weapons and waiting for the police."

Adrien Agreste (142) has posed:
"You call," Chat states the heartbeat before he smirks and launches himself off the side of hte building. "I'm feline heroic."

Because this is exactly the kind of person Chat is, and don't going kitten yourself, Bugaboo. This is exactly what mew signed up fur!

Chat Noir lands in a feline-like crouch just as Superwoman is there and speaks to the muggers. Chat straightens as the muggers are sandwaiched by heroes, and he sets his staff across his shoulders, behind his head, so he can drape his hands over the weapon.

"I'd listen to the Superwoman, if I were you," he says, tail flicking in wary amusement behind him.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
Fine. She'll call.

"Of course you are," is said with a roll of her eyes before she flips open the yoyo that, apparently, can be pretty much -anything- needed.

While Chat joins Superwoman and the muggers, Ladybug stays perched on the edge and, yes she's talking to the police to report the incident but her eyes never leave what's going on below. This may not be her thing, but if it looks like they need help...

Superwoman has posed:
    Superwoman watches quietly, waiting for the muggers to do as they're told. "Be smart. she suggests, "Because if you don't do as I say, I'm going to cause you a great deal of pain before the police come." She walks forward, boots falling on the ground as she places herself in what would be danger if she wasn't wholly immune to anything the street-level thugs could throw her way, she nods to the person being mugged. "Get behind me."

Adrien Agreste (142) has posed:
The muggee rushes to get behind Superwoman and the muggers, realizing they are surrounded by spandex, rather quickly put their weapons away.

"Smart moves," Chat commends the would be muggers, glancing up toward his guardian angel in question: Police enroute, My Lovebug?

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
Blue eyes lock on green and Ladybug nods her head, having 'hung up' the 'phone' not that long ago.

It's only when she can just start to hear the sirens that she uses the yo-yo to gently lower herself down beside Chat, a grin curving her lips. "You always find trouble, Chaton..." She sounds amused.

Superwoman has posed:
    Superwoman glances towards Chat and Ladybug. She looks back to the muggers. "Belts." she says to the muggers, "Take them off." she moves forward- making the muggers remove their belts if they don't do it on their own. Those belts are soon turned into impromptu cuffs- bringing the criminals to their knees and expertly tying them up. "Go home." She says to the victim.

    Superwoman then turns to look at Chat Noir and Ladybug quietly. She looks back to the muggers then. "I would recommend you take this time to reconsider your choices in life. I am among the consequences you will experience. I have memorized your faces. The sound of the beating of your hearts. The way your blood flows through your veins." Faora pauses, looking at the men quietly. "If I am the one who stops you the next time you get in trouble, the consequences will be... severe." she offers in that accented English.

    And then? Superwoman ever so slowly raises off the ground- up into the sky, like some kind of spirit of Justice as the moon seems to find a place behind her. That cape she wears- a 3/4th split thing in white catches the moonlight and she is like a sentinel now- waiting for the police.

Adrien Agreste (142) has posed:
The muggers are humiliated but there isn't much they can do. Not with two superheroes here. The victim glances about and when Chat gives her a wave, she starts to wave back before turning and running away. Muggers secured, Chat watches Ladybug rappel her way down to the alley where he is. The staff comes off his shoulders, collapsing into a baton which he tucks at the small of his back.

"We'd think I'd be a goner, but the Chat came back the very next day," sing-songs the feline themes hero, grinning like a fool. He turns to look at the woman who flies, head tilting at it.

"Told you this city has women who can fly," Chat says to Ladybug. He puts his hands on his hips.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
"This city has a guy who wears his underwear on the outside of his suit and can hear... From just about anywhere and see through walls..." She waves towards Faora. "You think a woman who flies surprises me?"

Yo-yo tossed, she smirks at Chat and offers a hand. "Going up...."

"I still can't figure it out... Why on the outside... I mean, okay, so the costume was made for him but... Really? Is it like... A onesie or something?"

Superwoman has posed:
    Silent, Superwoman's eyebrow raises as Ladybug throws shade at Superman. She has nothing to say, though- just listening for now. After all- she can hear everything, too. See through walls. She's just waiting for the police to arrive, it seems- but quietly watches the pair with a bit of curiosity.

    "The police will be here in two minutes." Superwoman announces quietly. "You two do not have to stay here, unless you'd rather ensure the police take these men into custody with mw."

Adrien Agreste (142) has posed:
"Dude. Certainly? On the out... Like.. OVER his clothing?" Chat asks, ears up, tail curling in amusement. His lips are wide in a smirk. He reaches for the offered hand, pulling that arm around his ribs so he can loop his other arm about Ladybug's shoulders.

"Sounds like he is in desperate need of a good designer," says the cat before glancing over at Superwoman.

"We're good. Thanks. Up, up, and back to the roofs, My Lady!"

Superwoman has posed:
    "Very well. And I'd remember that particular individual can probably hear you now." Superwoman notes, "It should come as no surprise he keeps an eye out on the world. And, particularly, the part of the world where I am." Superwoman says with a slight smile. "I don't think he trusts me, yet. A wise policy on his part." she remarks. "If there is nothing else, I will return to my patrol." she looks over to the muggers. "Do not leave. I will be watching."

    With that, Superwoman returns to the sky- and to her patrol.
