Mathew: THE NEXT DAY, walking through the city
Talrend’r had been flying around the city on one of his patrols, though it was partly really just him enjoying the open skies. It was warm enough today that he could wear his regular suit, which he was thankful for. The feeling of the sun’s rays on his skin was delightful. As he flew above yet another building, he spotted figures moving down below in a great rush, and vaguely heard the sound of gun shots. Snapping out of his daydream, Tal swiftly flew downwards, towards the building. As he got closer, he realized that alarms were ringing from it, and that he was currently flying towards the bank.
He soon landed on the ground and was thankful there weren’t too many people around near the bank. Another shot rang out, and Tal dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding a bullet. Gritting his teeth, the Tamaranean started to gather plasma into his hands, readying himself to attack the criminals.
Matt ducked behind a parked car, feeling his heart start to race in a panic. He listened to the screams, the silence that followed. Oh boy, he thought, what do I do? He placed the box of cakes on the ground. “Do I run off… or do I help?”
He bit his lip, nervous. “Help, obviously.”He stared at his reflection in the car mirror. “But… not like this.” He began to tear a little mask out of the bag that had been in his pocket, tying it around his eyes. “Much better.” He took off his necklace and a few rings he kept on his fingers sometimes, anything that could identify him later, and he put it inside the cake box. He placed the cake box underneath the car and stood up. “Ok. Here we go.”
