Fox and the Spider [Fawks]

Fox grinned behind his mask as Weaver went to work, cleanly taking out the light from the street lights and creating a perfect little patch of shadow for Fox to work with. Even better the truck driver seemed to slow down as they neared the shadow, probably wondering why the lights had gone out so suddenly. As they entered the shadowed area Fox sent his own magic out, stealing the sight of everyone inside the vehicle. Instantly the truck slammed on it's breaks and came to a dead stop as the driver lost his vision.

The occupants of the truck were in utter confusion now, none able to see anything. After a few moments the doors opened as blind security guards called for help. They probably would have gotten the doors open faster, but they all had to rely on feel and the sudden vision loss had left them all confused.

"That was easy." Fox commented to Weaver, ready to join her as soon as she had some strings leading them down to the truck.

Weaver became a blur as she jumped off, using the wires from her other hand to latch onto the building across from them. Pulling herself toward that building, she swung herself down toward the confused guards before landing on the truck with a flip. Fox now had a direct path to the truck as she stuck them to the truck, leaping into action against the guards. Weaving between the men while working her wires around them, tripping the two up before quickly ensnaring them in stickier threads. She'd then firmly secure them with more wires, weaving a couple of blindfolds up and blindfolding them so Fox didn't need to keep doing it.

A quick moment later and she'd find the keys, opening the back up and hopping inside. From there it was a more simple matter to just slice the locks of the secured deposited boxes with her wires.

Fox slid down the wires as soon as he saw he had a path down, joining Weaver on top of the truck. He made sure to keep his magic working on the guards, keeping them all blind while Weaver tied them up and put her own blindfolds on them. He was appreciative of that little bit, as it allowed him to stop wasting magic on those guards once they were secured. What was even nicer was Weaver getting the keys off one guard so that neither of them had to attempt to pick the lock.

Fox soon joined Weaver inside the truck and watched as she sliced through the locks one after another. The masked Kitsune popped open the boxes and looked for valuables, grabbing anything shiny and also snatching up the weird paper money. His pockets were starting to bulge with how much he was packing into them, but he wasn't going to leave until he was sure he couldn't carry a single coin more. He did pause in his looting long enough to admire an odd little crown that seemed to be made of carefully worked silver and set with very blue sapphires. Fox slid that into one of his inner pockets, intent on giving it to Weaver afterward to keep... thinking she'd look good with it on.

Soon enough Fox's pockets were crammed full as they were going to get.

"I got all I can carry. Ready to go?" Fox asked Weaver.

Adriana would also stuff her own pockets, jingly more then Santa's reindeer. "Alright! Let's go!" She said making a mad dash out, ignoring the fact some people had gotten out of their cars to see what was going on. Backing away as Adriana came barreling out the back of the truck, and (assuming) Fox close behind her. This would be quite the exercise, as Adriana had to make sure they got as far away from the crime scene as they could. Which in a city with superheroes, it paid to be extra paranoid as the pair would eventually find a place to lay low for awhile to make sure no one had been following them.

Once she was sure the coast was clear, Adriana would lead the rest of the way back. Pulling them up with her wires and climbing through a window. "That... went great, it was so much easier with a partner," Adriana sighed, taking her mask off and using it to wipe the sweat off her face. Combined with taking down the guards, hastily grabbing everything she could, and then running with all of that weight was very tiring.

Fox was never more than a step behind Weaver as they fled the crime scene, to him it was all a big game. The humans had some stuff, but they didn't want it badly enough to keep it away from Weaver and himself... so now it was their stuff! He had to keep from giggling the entire way.

Once they were back in one of Weaver's safe spots and she'd taken off her mask, Fox finally let his laughter come out.

"That was really fun! They looked so funny stumbling around before you tied them all up, and we got all this neat stuff too!" Fox said, surprisingly not out of breath himself. For such a small fellow he was in surprisingly good shape. He did slide his mask off however to breath a bit more easily, plus he simply liked being able to be himself without hiding it all the time.

Fox remembered the special item he'd found and rummaged in his inner pockets for a few moments before sliding out the shining silver and sapphire tiara. He stood up and then placed it on Weaver's head as if he was crowning her a queen.

"That looks good on you!" Fox commented with a grin.

She would pull the hood of her cloak back, trying to catch her breath and start sorting through the goods when Fox suddenly placed a crown on her head. And then he said it looked good on her, making her blush again. Did he seriously just say that? "W-what?" She blinked in surprise, her calm demeanor cracked by just how random and... sweet it was. "Y-you think so? I mean- this was in that truck?" She said trying to quickly change the subject and hide the fact she really enjoyed it.

Fox nodded enthusiastically when she asked if he really thought so, the smile on his face evident. When she then quickly switched to asking if it had been in the truck he just continued to smile for a moment before answering her.

"Yeah! I found it in one of the boxes you cut the lock off of. I saw it and thought how nice it would look on you, so I stuffed it in a pocket all by itself so I wouldn't lose it." Fox said, giving his reasoning on why he'd even bothered to steal such an odd item in the first place. After all it would be impossible to sell or pawn off with it being so distinctive... not that he'd know that. He simply thought it was a nice looking item that would look even nicer on Weaver's head.

"Plus they weren't even using it. They just had it stuffed in a little box. Now you can wear it whenever you want!" Fox said happily before plopping down next to his friend and unloading the rest of the goods he'd swiped during their little heist.

Adriana simply nodded, her blush lingering before she finally started to empty out her pockets and add her loot to the piles of loot. It was a nice sizable haul, and she definitely needed to look into a way of moving these quickly without drawing attention. But she was most pleased with the money they had, which was the deposits of several different stores using the same company to drop off their deposits at the bank. This actually might be enough to find them an actual place to live! She'd have to look into that later and decide if it would be better to settle down in one place, or just keep doing what she was doing and remain mobile.

She glanced at Fox thinking this, not feeling a huge desire to move around too much at the moment. "We should be able to live off of this for a long time. I'm actually thinking that we could find ourselves a place with this. Would be easier to remember one place then several," she said thoughtfully. But at the same time, one place meant someone could find them easier then if they were mobile. Yet it was work to keep moving around all the time.

Fox seemed to be taken by surprise at the declaration that they could find a place for themselves with what they'd just gotten. Did she mean what he thought she meant? He turned his head to gaze at her, hope in his eyes...

"Do you mean a home? We could have an actual home of our own?" Fox asked, needing to know if it was true. He so desperately wanted a home, even after his failed attempt to take over the forest in the park. If he had to live in some human building that would be fine, because at least he'd have some place that he could truly call his own... and if he had to share it with Weaver, well that was fine too. After all she was a friend now, and hopefully if they shared a home they could even become a family.

Fox's tails wagged at the idea and he waited for Weaver to respond.

"Yes, a home. But if it was as easy as throwing money at people- the world would be very different," she answered him while thinking about it. The burbs would be the safest area to go but it was also more of a trip to actually go robbing anything. Then again, with some smart spending they could get a place in the city and start an actual legit business out of the home. That would take time to get off the ground too though. "I will have to think about this more. Location, how we'll keep affording to live there- with so much money and potential for money I have a lot of options to go over now," she added seriously.

Fox was obviously a bit disappointed by the lack of a concrete answer right away, his ears drooping a bit.

"Oh." He said, and then continued to unload the loot from the truck robbery. Already he was sorting the goods into piles and stacks. It did seem like they had acquired a rather good sum of the paper money that was so popular nowadays, along with some actual jewels, a bit of gold, and some silver too. Of course the most expensive looking item was still the tiara that Fox had placed on Weaver's head, but he still thought it looked good there.

"I'd really like a home." Fox said, more to himself than to Weaver now. A small smile on his face. Even if he didn't have a place to call home yet, it seemed he was at least on the track to getting there.

Adriana was quiet as she had finished sorting through everything out of her own pockets, weaving a bag up and shoving all of the things she'd have to sell off later in it's own bags. And she'd keep the money with the rest of the money when he mentioned quiet seriously he wanted a home. "I'll have the time to look, since I won't need to go rob any stores for awhile," she said still not giving a concrete answer. But she was saying that it would be toward the top of her to-do list now.

Fox was feeling a little weird now, but his instincts had always been good... at least he felt they were good. So after a few moments of silence he turned to look at Weaver again.

"Uh, you said that you'd show me all the other food. So I was thinking, maybe... we could like go get some dinner? I don't really know any places myself, but uh... I'd really like to know what you like and stuff." Fox said shyly, not having much experience with this sort of thing. Yet he did like Weaver, and probably more than just a friend too.

"Also if you wanted... I could tell you my real name. You know, in case you wanted to call me that too... even if Fox is a lot easier to say and remember." He added, which was actually a big deal in Kitsune culture though Weaver probably had no idea about that.

Adriana looked up at him when he started talking, listening intently as he mentioned food again, AND wanted to get to know her better. Did he just ask her out? WAS he asking her out? It was odd how that was her first thought after he brought it up. Her heart was beating slightly faster at the idea. The fact he asked it so shyly only further cemented this in her mind and made him sound cuter. "Are you asking me out... on a date?" She asked actually needing clarification.

Fox was still feeling rather flustered, having literally zero experience with this sort of thing. A part of him was expecting to get shot down instantly, but instead Weaver wanted clarification on his intentions. Fox's face and ears started to get hotter as he blushed under his fur, his whiskers twitching a bit as well in nervousness.

"I... er... that is to say, uh I... yes." Fox finally managed to stammer his way through to a clear answer. After managing to get that out he nodded at her and said it again.

"Yes. That is what I'm asking." Fox said, feeling like time had slowed down. He could hear his own heartbeat in his ears now and felt incredibly tense. Was he going too fast? Would she even be interested in him? They weren't even the same species for crying out loud! Yet he liked her, and he hoped that she liked him too.
