Hearing a slight pitter-patter of footsteps on the pavement around her, Lorelei scurries behind an array of boxes left on an apartment's stoop. Watching as a young man prowled the streets and eventually climbed upon a rooftop, Lorelei decides to transform into her Harpie form and follow the man. Landing gracefully on the roof, Lorelei shifts back to her natural form and stares at the young man.

The cab rolled into the heart of the city and stopped. Bobby got out his wallet and paid the fare, getting out of the car. He thanked him as he drove away and then looked up at all the buildings.
"Well, where do we begin?"

John steps out of the car, looking around. They are in the middle of the city, surrounded by tall buildings and large shops. His heart is in a frenzy and his excitement doesn't seem to disappear.
"We need to find a way to get up to the top of one of those buildings!"
He looks around, seeing many alleys and ways that go around the buildings, but will those lead him to a way up?
"You probably know better then I do, how do we get up?"

Lorelei's accute hearing picks up screech of a cab as it halts to a stop. Turning swiftly on her heel, Lorelei stealthilly walks over to the edge of the rooftop, and looks down. As she looks down, her eyes lock with two young men staring up at her. With a slight gasp, Lorelei stumbles backwards, out of view.

Bobby thought for a second, then the idea came to him.
"Come on!"
He said grabbing JD and running to the back of the building. There were the sets of large platforms and ladders thats on almost every city building.
"The fire escape!"
Bobby started tto climb up, carfully and quietly to hopefully not disturb anyone in the building...even though it was more than likely no one was there.

"Awesome." John muttered under his breath is he began climbing up the ladder. He couldn't believe how easy it is to get onto the top of a building in the city, it almost seems like people want stranger to go up their rooftops and explore the city from above. 'Well, this is New York City...', he mentally sighs.
Just a few more bars until he reaches the top, he can feel the excitement about to burst from him like an unstoppable wave that will crush anyone in his path.(( Harpie, it's your turn )) [Agent:2]

Lorelei turns around, after hearing the voices of the two young men growing louder. As her heart begins to race, Lorelei slinks behind a patio set that was located on the rooftop. Crouching low, and breathing heavilly, Lorelei waiting anxiously as the clammer of footsteps signalled the men getting closer.

Bobby takes his last step and is now on the roof. He smiles and laughs as he jumps in the air to celebrate. He looked out towards the city, they were pretty low but higher than most of the surrounding buildings
"Wow, you really feel cool being up here."

The brown haired mutant finally sets foot on the rooftop, suddenly feeling like the king of the world; 'Yes, this is exactly like Spider-Man does it. Only without the ridiculous outfit!'. He laughs at his own joke, which he never actually said, a thing that probably makes him seem insane.
"Yep, this is pretty much one of the coolest things I've done in my life. But then again, I've only been alive again for three days - so my vote won't count."
A smug smile spreads on his face as he looks onto the streets below him; the rooftop definitely gave them a great view of a tiny part of the city, a great start.
"Can you see anything suspicious?"

As the two young men were looking over the edge of the building, Lorelei silently stood up from behind the patio set. Creeping as fast as she could behind the backs of the two men, Lorelei felt as if her shoes were filled with lead. Attempting to silently tip-toe off of the roof, Lorelei's cover was broken as her foot caused an empty bag of potato chips to unearth and seemingly deafening crinkle. Gasping equally as loud, the beautiful young girl stared on in shock as the two young men began to turn around.

Bobby smiled as he looked over the edge until he heared a crinkle and gasp and quickly turned around to see a girl up in the roof there with them. He didn't know what to do and sorta just stood there for a minute or two before talking.
"Umm...hello, what are you doing up here?"
Bobby said giving JD an inquisitive look, seeing if he knew what was going on.

JD spun around his axis so quickly the world became a complete blur before regaining its details; his hands were already aimed for whatever thread might have caused that noise, ready to impart momentum with all he's got. When he finally comes to his senses he sees a girl with long raven hair and olive skin.
"Yeah, what are you doing up here? And did you get up here without us noticing?"
Sure, the girl looked completely innocent, but something deep inside him told him he shouldn't let his eyes deceive him; there might be more to the girl then the eye can see.

Instantly annoyed with the boys' attitudes, Lorelei's shocked face quickly turned to one that matched their attitudes.
"Excuse me, boys. My name is Lorelei, and I don't owe either one of you an explanation. I was here first, enjoying myself in a tranquil environment, until you two thugs crashed."
Lorelei said, placing her hands on her hips as she shook her head, her hair dancing joyfully around her face.
"Now, I suggest you leave. I'm sure the police would not appreciate hearing about two thugs harassing a poor, innocent girl like myself."

Bobby stared in astonishment at the girl. They barely talked to her and now she was threatning them with the police, making herself seem so innocent. Bobby got angered and annoyed by the girl and thought there was something more to her than what was in front of them.
"Thugs?! umm...we're just hear on the roof enjoying ourselves, barley saying more than three words to you."
He turned to JD to see his reaction.

As John hears the words of the "innocent" girl, a smug smile spreads on his face. If she wishes to intimidate him, she would have to try something else.
"Well, in order for the innocent girl to call the police she would have to be a tenant of this building; or else why should she have been on the rooftop in the first place - that is trespassing. And if you weren't trespassing, why were you attempting to sneak down behind our backs?"
JD says, ever so calm and collected. He isn't impressed by the girl not one bit.
"And as for the police, I'm sure my dear friend Carol Denvers, aka Ms. Marvel, the Avenger, would sure to back me up as a good person who would never harass a living thing. Can anyone back you up... Sweetheart?"
John emphasizes the last word, making it roll on his tongue with a tone of utter and complete confidence. Yes, he is doing his best to get her upset - knowing that in a moment of rage a person shows his true colors; and there is something about her that needs to be revealed.
