Charlotte needed a break. She'd been tirelessly working on locating a new treasure for the team. But everyone else had a life outside the organization. She decided it was her turn to take part in one. And what she loved to do more than anything was steal things and return them several days later. Anything that was extremely secure and guarded was fair game for her.
Recently a rich entrepreneur had obtained a particularly rare jade elephant. Very pretty and very expensive. But more important that that was the lengths said entrepreneur went to protect it. He might as well have sent a personal invitation to Charlotte saying 'Please come steal it!'.
Having previously determined the entry code for the building, she had simply walked through the front door. Before that she had made sure that the images being fed to the security cameras were temporarily replaced by still images. Now that she was inside and positioned in such a way that only one camera could see her, she let the other cameras record normally. This was only stage one, though. There were plenty of other fun traps yet to disable.

Someone was willing to pay good money for this jade elephant, so Frei was in, already a little ways ahead of Charlotte. Being a demon had it's advantages when it came to security systems.

Charlotte put her quick reflexes to good use, dodging what needed to be dodged to avoid detection. She continued her way through the building, unaware that someone else was already here, slightly ahead of her.

Frei kept up ahead of her, soon reaching the elephant. He set his grab bag on the floor and set about disabling the pressure plate under the elephant.

Charlotte finally came to the room with the elephant. She was immensely displeased to find someone already there working on the pressure plate.
She extracted her pistol and aimed it at the person. "That elephant's mine," she said firmly. She actually wasn't that great of a shot. She hoped she wouldn't need to use the weapon. She figured that if she intimidated the thief he'd just leave the elephant for her.

Frei straightened, turning. He looked Charlotte up and down for a moment. "I came for an elephant, but I get a personal prize too..." Frei muttered, cracking his neck.

"No you don't," she said harshly. "Unless the personal prize you seek is a bullet between the eyes! Back away from the elephant!" she snapped, raising the gun to aim it at his head.

Frei was suddenly right in front of her, and the gun was in his hand. "You're not scary, hun." He tossed it over his shoulder, just missing his grab bag.

Oh well. She wasn't a good shot to begin with. She was better with close quarter combat. She aimed a kick at his chest, trying to put him off balance. This would be followed by a quick punch which would hopefully knock him over and give her a chance to retrieve the gun.

Frei easily blocked both strikes, dancing back. "Yoink." He said, holding up Charlotte's bra in his hand.

"Creep," Charlotte said with disdain, trying to figure out how he was so goddamn fast. He shouldn't have been able to do that.
She paused, trying to figure out her next move. She'd have a much easier time if she transformed but that might make too much noise and the organization would definitely consider this an abuse of suit use.
Still...She wasn't wiling to give up on the elephant just yet. She rushed towards Frei and aimed another kick, this time for the head.

Frei grabbed her ankle, kicking her other foot out from under her, before releasing her ankle and slamming her into the floor face down.

Okay. Now she was thoroughly screwed. Physical strength definitely wasn't her strong point. She struggled to break his hold but she knew before she even attempted it that it was useless. He'd be stronger. She wasn't going anywhere until he released her.
Realizing this she went limp. Eventually he'd step away to retrieve the elephant or whatever. Then maybe she could try something. But it was probably best just to consider the elephant a lost cause. Without the use of her suit he'd definitely beat her in terms of combat. Maybe she should transform if she got the opportunity. As long as the organization didn't figure out she'd used it to steal, she'd be fine.

Frei noticed she'd stopped moving, and shrugged. Easier for him. He stood, dusting off his pants a moment, before setting about disabling the elephant pressure plate again.

Good, he was working on the elephant again. She took out her Accellular and whispered "Pink Access" and hit the enter button. A wave of pink flashed over Charlotte’s body, forming her suit. She put her survi-blaster on sword mode and charged at the man. If everything went smoothly she'd have her blade at his neck and force him to stop.
