Saving Sierra

Cat hid beside a nearby shipping container outside the warehouse and smiled to herself as her suit returned to her new look. Everything was going perfectly. Sierra was also growing on her, Ardour enjoyed the new villain she had made, and part of her wanted to keep Sierra around. She looked down at her suit, thoughtfully. She focused on the thought of an NYPD officer uniform, and as she did, her suit adjusted to resemble the look. This would do nicely, all she had to do was wait.

She didn't have to wait long before she could hear the sirens of police. From her position she saw the cars pull up in front of the warehouse and the officers get out and go inside. Ardour then walked out from her position and walked towards the cars. She froze briefly as she saw a young female officer, holding police tape walking around the cars. All she had to do was convince her, and hopefully she could go unnoticed. Ardour walked up to the officer.

"Hey, need any help?" She asked. The officer spun around and looked at Ardour.

"Um, sure." She said, holding some tape out to her, "I don't think I've seen you before."

"Yeah, I've been transferred for the day." Ardour replied, taking the tape, "Someone was sick, and they needed some extra help."

"Yeah, tell me about it." The officer groaned, before extending her hand, "I'm Ellie, by the way."

"Felicity." Ardour replied, taking her hand and shaking it, "Nice to meet you."

"You too." Ellie replied, "Anyway, you do that side, I'll do this one."

She then walked off. Ardour headed in the opposite direction and started putting up the tape, cornering off the warehouse door. Good, she got away with it for now. She kept an eye on the warehouse door, watching and waiting. It didn't take much longer before she saw Sierra being marched out to one of the cars and being placed in the back. She also saw the power pack, in a plastic bag, be placed in the boot.

Quickly, Ardour finished putting up her section of tape and walked over to the car. She looked around, no one was looking, so she quickly opened the door and got into the front.

"Hey Sierra." Ardour stated as she started the car, "Don't say anything, I'm getting you out of here."

She then slowly drove off, leaving the area. Once she was far enough away, she pulled into a quiet alleyway and returned her suit to normal. She got out of the car and opened the back door.

"You did well." She congratulated, as she held her finger above Sierra's handcuffs, a symbiotic tendril extending and unlocking them, "But, they know it was you, so you'll need to lay low for a while."

"Thank you." Sierra replied as her cuffs came free, "And, I will."

"I know." Ardour stated as she pulled out a burner phone, "Take this, it has an address on it, go there. It's my safe house. Code to get in is 1979."

"Thank you, I will." Sierra said gratefully, taking the key. Ardour walked to the back of the car and opened the boot.

"Before you go though, take this." Ardour stated, pulling out the plastic bag containing the powerpack from the boot and handing it over, "Now go."

"Thank you again. Goodbye." Sierra stated before walking out of the alleyway. Ardour then locked the car, before climbing the wall and swinging away.
