Avery Mansion, Gotham coast, 0030 hours.
Thomas Avery stepped onto the circle he had marked on the floor of his garage and stretched out his arms.
"Suit up." The floor seemed to crumble around him, mechanical arms extending to assemble the suit on him piece-by-piece. About 20 seconds later, he stepped off, rolling his head slightly.
"Systems check." He slowly looked around as the lights dimmed. Vision remained bright as day. His assistant set off a couple test sounds, and he turned toward them. She nodded, and pheremones were released. He watched his HUD.
Fear, to the left. He turned to the right, spreading his arms and taking a protective stance. Hatred, to the right. Black Panther spun, drawing his tazer. "Freeze!" She raised an eyebrow. Chuckling, Panther holstered the tazer and turned back toward the center of the room.
"Control surfaces." Panels all over his suit shifted briefly and returned to standard. He looked up at the 2-story ceiling and jumped, pounding the ceiling before dropping to the floor.
"Jump systems, check." One arm came up, palm forward, and a burst of white light shattered a window. "Oops." He crossed his arms, whipping them out to the sides and down. Titanium and diamond claws sprang from his fingertips.
"Cool." He clenched his fists, and they retracted. "Comm Linkup, Zephyr."
"Hello, Black Panther."
"Hello, Zephyr. Prepare for takeoff." As he spoke, he headed to the ship. Climbing in, he grabbed an HDMI cable from the dashboard and plugged it into the side of his helmet. His HUD lit up.
Five minutes later, he was flying over Gotham City. Finding a convenient park in a reletively central location, he brought the craft to a vertical landing. He hopped out onto the fuselage to crouch there, listening.

Alexandria finished lacing her boots and stood up. Walking over to her changing room mirror, she gave herself the once over. She smiled, the outfit that she had had made was perfect. She grabbed the mask which she had custom fitted and put it on. Adjusting her bangs over the mask, she smiled once more. She had the perfect disguise, the perfect superhero name and now she was off to use her powers to rid the city of its criminal element.
She left her pent-house apartment, heading towards a park in the area that she knew was common spot for various crimes. She walked slowly and carefully, she was not going to get caught off guard like she was the day her powers manifested.
After a short while, Alexandria sat down on a bench and looked around.
"Of course the day I decide to start fighting crime,THERE'S NO CRIME TO BE FOUND...." She shook her head for a moment. "That's it, tomorrow I'm buying a motorcycle or something. This is completely ridiculous." She sat for a few more moments before getting up.
"Let's see if there's crime somewhere else." With that she started to move away from the bench.

When he heard her, Black Panther smiled. He recognized the voice. It was Alexandria. She was the last person he ever expected to be taking on a super-hero persona. Chuckling softly, he hopped off Zephyr and headed over to approach her from behind.
"I can assure you, there is no crime within walking distance." His voice came out growling, sounding nothing like the young man who had carried her back to her apartment on three separate occasions.

Alexandria spun around, crouching into a defensive position.
"I don't know who you are, but I assure you that you do not want to mess with me." That said, she heated her hands to the point of flames. "Now, If you would kindly inform me who you are before I have to melt that pretty suit of yours."

"I am the Black Panther, and I doubt you could melt my suit." He smiled behind his mask. "Besides, my original statement still stands. There is no crime occurring within walking distance. But what should I call you?" As he spoke, he reached up and worked his helmet. The mask swung up to reveal his blacked-out face and golden cat eyes.

"Spitfire," Alexandria spat out at Black Panther. "Now, if you don't mind, heck, even if you do, I'm leaving."
With that, she turned toward her apartment building and stomped off. After a couple of steps, she turned around again and spat a mouthful of boiling hot saliva at Black Panther.

Sam needed his daily walk, he hadn't been to the park all day and Maxwell felt guilty for not playing with him the entire day. but the daily duties had to be done and there was alot today since he hadn't done any of the duties the last couple of days. it was maybe a little too late to take Sam on a walk, but what the heck, he had promised they would take a walk as soon as he was done with his duties.
Damn his luck he had a meeting with a local source the next morning at 5am and it was already past midnight.
''This is the last time we go for a walk at this hour ok Sam.?''
Sam just eagerly waited his tail and was looking at his surroundings curiously.
Maxwell just smiled, ''Silly dog'' he said quietly to himself.
The park seemed awfully quiet this evening, the wind wasn't blowing at all and there was no kids nearby to scare off... it seemed just perfect since Maxwell hadn't brought anything this time, no mask, no guns, no swords. just his everyday gear.
And Sam seemed happy that his owner didn't wear that silly mask all the time.
Suddenly Sam stopped, looking at one direction. Maxwell, looked at his dog and saw that it was scouting for something. It sniffed after a scent it must have had discovered or something.
Maxwell quickly searched his pockets for anything useful he could use as a weapon. after a quick search through his pockets he found a small knife, or small or small, it was just small enough to be illegal and big enough to no longer be legal. it was a fold knife, and he folded out the knife inside of his pocket so that if they were being watched the watchers wouldn't notice...
''You've found anything boy?'' and in the same moment Maxwell asked Sam this, Sam started barking at the direction he was looking.

Black Panther turned his head, looking toward the dog.
"We have visitors. A man and a dog. The dog is a hunter, and knows about us. The man just unfolded a knife inside a pocket." As he spoke, he dropped down into a crouch, looking very catlike now.
"Zephyr, go stealth."
Light refracting panels on Zephyr's fusilage moved, effectively bending what little light there was around it. The craft faded into the background. This ability wouldn't have worked nearly as well in daylight, but just after midnight, the jet completely disappeared.

''Sam!'' said Maxwell in a very loud and strict tone, ''cut it out'' he commanded his trusty companion. The dog just kept glaring the direction where it had found something. Maxwell walked up to the side of the dog and kneeled down.
The second he stepped beside his dog, a chill rushed down his spine. he was being watched. the paranoid feeling of someone willing to hurt him made Maxwell wished he had taken more than this puny knife with him. he would have a hard time defending himself with this weapon, afterall, that something which was watching him, wasn't just a normal glance. no he was being observed.
Maxwell patted his dog on the head while he smiled at it. ''it's okay'' Maxwell said in a very friendly gesture. ''Sam, Sit!'' he commanded the dog.
''I know you have seen me, dont bother hiding from me, i know you are there!'' Maxwell shouted out in the direction Sam had been barfing

Spitfire shook her head at Black Panther, as if to say 'whatever'.
"I'm not hiding, never been really good at hiding to tell the truth. Who are you?"

"You are the one who is hiding. We are in a 200 foot clearing, and we have no reason to hide."
His voice came out growling.

Maxwell started slowly to walk over to the two voices. ''Funny...'' he thought to himself ''i could only feel the presence of one them''.
Sam slowly followed his master, staying a few step behind him so that he wouldnt be in the lead.
Maxwell walked out on the pathway so that he was able to see the people who responded, it was a woman and a man he heard that from the responding voices.
He folded the knife in his pocked once again, but he still kept his right hand in the pocket so that he had the knife near him if shit was going to happen... He is confused and nervous, the adrenaline is pumping through him.
as he caught sight of the two people he noticed they didnt carry any weapons or had any criminal intentions on they way they stood and the presence they had.
''You two doesn't look like thugs... so what are you doing out here at this hour?'' Maxwell asked them as he slowly walked towards them.

Black Panther straightened.
"Patrolling." He did not raise his mask, so the only thing not black was the greenish glow of his starlight lenses. "All of us, I believe, though Spitfire here would look much more at home in a bedroom."

"Find a hole and bury yourself in it," turning towards Maxwell, "but he is correct, I am patrolling."

''Patrolling?'' replied Maxwell as he stopped a few feet away from them. Sam sat down next to his master, sitting calmly and steady right by the left side of Maxwell.
''Well i sure ain't patrolling if that's what you think, im just having a stroll with my dog'' he said with a little smile at his lips.
this ''couple'' or whatever they are, sure got a war going on with one another, it was sure funny too watch, but he had to be careful, he still didn't know em.
''Why are you guys patrolling?''
