League of Legends - third book to Damsel on Distress

Chapter 2 - Misfits in Spandex

"Alright, so you'll enter through the back and take out their guards, while I fly in through the skylights and trap them in the center. After that, the police will barge in and make the arrests. Sound good?" I asked Chase as we made our battle plan.

"Sure, I've been waiting to take down the Black Tiger gang for a while."

Chase and I had been planning an infiltration of the gang for a week now. The police thought that if we were able to break in during the middle of a drug deal, then they'd be able to finally arrest them for good.

We were in the Archer Cave (Chase still didn't like the name, though Archer loved it) whilst planning our heist. Lacey was out at her job and Peter was out doing something for his father. We were all alone in the place.

"What if we-"

"Hello, boys"

I cursed loudly and fell off of my chair in surprise. Chase, being the tough guy that he was, sat quietly and was perfectly calm when Agent Argent walked straight towards us.

"How'd you break in?" Chase swiveled around in his chair to meet her.

"Let's just say that we know more than you think we do."

I got up off of the floor and turned to her, "What do you want, Argent?"

She smirked at me and looked between the two of us, "We would like to recruit you two for a top secret group of supers."

Chase snorted, "I'm not even a super."

"Yeah, but you sure as hell can fight like one."

"I thought you gave up on us after the battle. Weren't we too public for your liking?" I asked, skeptical.

She sighed and pulled out a chair so she could sit in front of us, "You should know that twenty three hours ago Golden Eagle officially went missing." We both sat up in our chairs at that information. Golden Eagle was a dick, but he didn't deserve whatever was going to happen to him.

"This was the first time that there was visual proof, a security camera caught it. It would seem that an old friend of yours wants revenge. He has three robots that we know of ready to kill. It's been confirmed that he may have more."

Robots? "Doesn't that seem too much like an old science fiction movie? I mean - robots?"

"Dude," Chase says, "we live in a world full of people who can fly and move at superhuman speeds. Why are intelligent robots so hard to believe?"

He had a point.

I'd heard rumors in conversation between supers around the world. I knew that some supers were going missing, but I had no idea that it was actually this big. Some thought that they had all retired or been killed off by their arch super villain. I'd had no idea that they were being kidnapped, but for what purpose?

"Did you get information on who the kidnapper is, or what his motivations are?" I asked.

"Well, that's where you all come in," she nervously tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear, "It's Nemesis, and he wants Arabella."

"I know that look, Argent. You can't let her join us." I stood up and argued with her.

She stood and said, "You and I both know that she's one of the most powerful registered supers, whether Nemesis or Arabella knows it or not. You and I also know that she's our best bet at catching him. If he's gone to such great lengths to get her, then we know that he won't kill her in a battle."
