Trouble at the Bank

Marie Malory, ace reporter for Metropolitan Media News is sent off to write a special report on a local bank that is about to celebrate being in service for over one hundred years. Having reported from the middle of war zones and been as far away as the North Pole, many questioned why Marie would be so willing to take such a menial story. Of course, no one suspects that secretly Maria is the superhero Guardian Girl who has protected the innocent for years with the powers of flight and super strength. After hearing recent rumors that some hoodlums have planned to make the heist of the century at South Spire Bank Guardian Girl decided to make a surprise deposit.


"There's lots of celebration at South Spire Bank as it celebrates its one-hundredth year serving this community," Marie said in a stoic tone. She looked stunning dressed in her red blazer and matching pencil skirt, though her sharp looks were nothing out of the ordinary to her co-workers or her audience.

Microphone firm in her hand, she adjusted her glasses and continued to guide her cameraman, Billy, through the area, all the while looking for signs of anything suspicious. The bank was certainly gussied up for the occasion with the streamers around each bank teller's stations, balloons lining the walls, and the giant banner hanging from the ceiling which read 'One hundred years in service to you!' in big yellow letters. There were also a decent number of people inside as well, either waiting in line or speaking with a teller. While some appeared dressed a bit too casually for Marie's taste, wearing shorts and t-shirts, no one seemed suspicious enough to commit a crime. Perhaps her information was off…

"THIS IS A STICKUP!!!" a voice roared.

At the entrance of the bank, two men in ski masks were waving around guns wildly. Each had a duffle bag under their arm and a fearsome look on their face.

Marie smirked, happy she didn't leave before things got interesting.

"Stay here, and keep recording. I'm going to see if I can get some help," she instructed to Billy.

"Wait... What?!" he exclaimed, but it was too late, Marie had already rushed away.

While it was a bit irresponsible to make her partner work through this chaotic scene, she couldn't resist an opportunity to show off her heroics to the camera.

Sneaking away in the commotion, Marie locked herself inside the woman's bathroom. Now in solitude, she readied herself for action.

Tearing open her blouse to reveal the super suit she wore beneath, she began saying her all too familiar catchphrase, "This looks like a job for-" Just then, she noticed a chill along her chest, which was odd because her super suit was quite well insulated. Looking down, she was startled to see no super suit covering her chest, but instead just her white bra.

"Crap! I'm not wearing my costume!" she exclaimed in panic. For a moment, Marie was unsure as to what to do.

BANG!!!

The sound of a gunshot rang throughout the building startling Marie. Peeking out back into the bank, she could see that one of the armed men had fired a bullet into the ceiling.

"Everybody, stay on the ground and keep your hands on your heads!" One of them said while the other **** a bank teller to put money into their duffle bags.

Things were looking **** out there. The people needed Guardian Girl to swoop in and save the day, but how could Marie do that without her supersuit?! There was no way she could go out dressed in her blazer, her secret identity would be ruined! The only other options were to either make a new costume in the bathroom or go out in her underwear. She shivered at the thought of doing latter...
