A buzz. A buzz in English from a secondary phone. Ryoko doubted she would make it back for her Junior Math class, but she didn’t really care that much. There were more important things.

I have a message for you. The City, the park.

Still in uniform, the thief made her way swiftly to the location given; Niagara Park. Along the winding path, through the trees, and soon the number of people dwindled from dozens to two or three, to none. The blanket of trees grew thicker, the sky disappearing behind shrouds of green. She hadn’t seen Akai since this morning, but she'd have to explain it all to him later.

Each gust of wind caused patterns of light to dance across the grass. And she waited. Seconds- Minutes passed and nothing. She was beginning to think this was a waste of her time. A step in reverse, and then…

Cute uniform. Can’t say it suits you, though.

There's no way...

"It's not by choice, I promise you." Ryoko replied, folding her arms. She turned on a heel, spinning back to face him. A familiar face. He gave her a confident smirk; there was obviously a history between them, and by her stance it was clear she didn't exactly want to spend time with him. And yet here he was. Dark hair, dark eyes, emerging from shadows. "What's the message?"

He laughed. It sounded mildly condescending, but it wasn't out of character. His arms moved; a shrug. "Hey, come on, there's no point in giving me the cold shoulder just because he sent me. Had to be someone trustworthy." He explained, knowing talk of trust could easily infuriate her. She didn't answer. He returned silence with a faux hurt expression.

"How've you been?"

Nothing.

"Seriously? You aren't going to talk at all?"

Nothing.

"Allllright, so tell me about him."

Reaction.

"Enough of the games, I don't have time for this!" Ryoko shouted towards him. Behind the covers of overhanging branches and leaves, the sounds were muffled to outsiders. Hidden sight, hidden sound. But he simply laughed at her, a slight turn of his head added confusion to his question.

"Why no time? What could you be busy doing." But to that she gave the simple movement, motioning for him to see the uniform she was wearing.

"I'm late for class." A sarcastic tone only threw herself deeper into his games, it seemed, but she didn't mind much. Sometimes it was easier to get cooperation by simply playing along. She got him to laugh again, and called it some kind of personal victory. She would win this yet.

"Alright, alright. Just give me his name and I swear I'll move on." He asked. This was an obvious trick, but she let him believe she fell for it.

"Akai Yagami."

"Huh."

"Now, the message?"

"No, no! I have another question." He gave that confident smirk once more. Such confidence Ryoko had only seen in one other person. It was boarder lining arrogance so. How annoying.

"What."

"I've heard you've got new... Abilities. Back home you decided to show off, if I remember correctly. So what are they?" It was her turn to laugh now, giving no other reaction. He had to be kidding, if he thought she would give that information away for free. "How about another trade? You tell me what I want to know, and I'll give you the answer you've been searching for. I'll tell you why you were brought into this world."

"If you know what happened that day then you know about it all already. There's nothing for me to explain." Ryoko replied, already losing the little patience she had that allowed her to play along with his games. "I'm stronger than I was, better than I used to be. And yes, I have new skills."

"Name them. Please." There was no space to avoid answering. Not when considering what was being offered to her.

"Invisibility. Intangibility."

"Helpful." He replied, referring to their shared goal of the ultimate thief. "Thank you for your cooperation. And as promised, I'll keep my end of the deal." He sighed, then, retrieving his phone for a few moments, checking it, and putting it back in his pocket again. "You are the ultimate thief, or rather, you're supposed to be. Some people are willing to pay a lot of money for one who can effortlessly break into whatever place they need you to. But you had to rebel."

"A product to sell." She never expected that, but did her best to suppress a surprised or shocked look.

"I know, I know, the idea would make anyone rebel, even if you had no idea. But it's fairly obvious that you're never going back to that life, especially now that you know." He said, opting for a light tone considering what he was saying. He took a step towards her, but even still, she maintained a cool demeanor. Another step. Another, and another. "I'm sure your skills are impressive, but you are still a student, obviously." A wide grin to the uniform, of course.

"I have another question, though." A hand moved behind his back. "Your... Intangibility, was it?" Weapon retrieved. A gun in hand, and she was staring down the barrel.

"Are you faster than a bullet?"

Shot down.
