Black Cat looks at you with a smile, her eyes flashing. "Well, looks like you're about to get an early taste of the action. Come on!"
You go with her to the edge of the roof, and watch in awe as she takes a graceful leap and lands silently on the adjacent roof. She beckons you to follow. With wide eyes you assess the width of the gap - perhaps not that large in reality, but right now as far as you're concerned it's a yawning chasm of death. You shake your head at her.
"Come on," she hisses at you. "Don't be a pussy!"
You consider pointing out the irony of her statement, what with her name being Black Cat and all, but decide against it. The gap is still terrifying, but you don't want to disappoint her within your first few minutes on the job. And the sight of her crouching there in the moonlight, mile-long legs on display in that skin-tight suit, gives you strength. Taking a deep breath, and a few steps back, you
Run -
Jump -
And land, safely, on the other roof. You have to stifle the urge to shout for joy, and restrict yourself to a relieved smile as she gives you an encouraging pat on the head. The two of you make your way over to the skylight in the centre of the roof. One of the panes of glass is broken - that must have been the noise you heard earlier - and you can hear faint voices from inside. Black Cat puts a finger to her lips, and you nod. Inching your way over to the skylight, you peer in.
It's a museum, you realise: you're looking down on two rows of glass cases with a large central corridor. The lighting in the room is dim, but beams of light pierce the darkness. There are three men down there, and they're carrying torches. You watch as they move about, they appear to be checking the glass cases one by one.
Suddenly Black Cat presses herself against you and leans in to whisper in your ear. "It's a classic museum job," she says, her warm breath gusting in your ear. The feel of her large breasts pressed against your arm, and her soft lips brushing your ear, have you thinking about a different sort of "job" entirely, but you make an effort to pay attention. "I'll go down and take them out," she goes on, "you stay here and give me support if I need it."
"Wait - support you with what?"
Too late. In a single sinuous movement she uncoils herself and drops like a bullet straight through the broken pane. She lands in a crouch, and flows from one fluid movement to the next, leaving you in awe. The first man turns around and receives a kick to the head. She continues the movement, turning the kick into a spin that connects with the legs of the second man, sending him tumbling. A leap and a roll close the distance with the third man, in the process of going for his gun; she sends him flying too -
A movement at the corner of your eye catches your attention. The second man is getting back to his feet, reaching for his gun! Black Cat is too far away -
In an instant you realise what you have to do. "Geronimo," you shout, and jump down. There is a crunch and a yell, and everything goes black.
You awaken to find Black Cat leaning over you, her awesome cleavage right in front of your face. The sight quickly brings you back to full alertness, and you look up to see the superheroine smiling down at you. Looking around, you see the three would-be museum robbers neatly trussed up in the centre of the room.
"Nice job," Black Cat says, helping you to your feet. "Although we may need to work on your entrances. Still, you did save my life - remind me to reward you for that later." She throws you a saucy wink, and you gulp. Then she turns away. "Now, let's see what these boys were doing here, shall we?" |
