The Same Event

It was close to midnight on the streets of New York City. The city was lit like a Christmas tree with street lights and cars bustling. It was barely dark out as things were illuminated by the bright lights at street level. In the darkness, a man atop a floating black disk shooting through the air. It was the Midnight Shadow on his nightly patrol of the city. He was looking for danger and criminals to beat down. There was a possibility of there being another person with superhuman abilities being in the area. Shadow got that tingle that told him when another superhuman was within a half a mile distance from him. The being then spotted a possible heist in progress at a research factory. They looked to be transporting vats from inside the building into a truck. That was most likely illegal, and because all of the lights in the facility were dark, they were most likely stealing all of it. The Midnight Shadow raced down to them atop his disk to stop their theft.

Midnight Shadow got within a short distance of a group of them who were armed and in the process of quickly transporting a vat. At the risk of sounding ironic, Midnight Shadow proclaimed to them, "Not so fast! Put down the vat, put your guns on the ground, and step away from the truck!"

Before she could begin on her final experiment Bliss needed to gather one final component. Large vats used for artificial homeostasis of an environment for a single subject. These would act as the doors to and from her subjects final resting place.
Bliss took to the rooftops, moving ever so quietly, as she came across the rooftop for the facility she targeted. She wore her regular jeans and black turtle-neck with a black coat that rested just below her stomach. She took the scarf off her neck and placed it over the glass, then reached her hand out and shattered the glass on one of the panes, sending shards falling down. When given a second thought she assumed she could order the vats with Percival's money. It would look awkward when two large human sized vats appeared at a rat's nest apartment, but it may prove less of a problem than breaking and entering. This thought came into Bliss's head during the fall from the roof to the scaffolding in between the ground and the roof. She threw her scarf around her neck and let he two ends dangle from behind her back.
The vats lie just before her. She started to make her approach to see the vats for what they looked like inside, when a startling noise came from the outside door. Whoever works here probably has a key and doesn't need to break doors in the middle of the night. She moved quickly to hide from plain sight as the doors broke open. She slowly crept away from the vats. Sadly it appeared what she came for would be in hot demand tonight. The engine of a motored lift started up as the men began to look over the vats. The numbers inside weren't too much of a threat, but a truck sat just outside and the voices of others sounded off.
The lift began to move one of the vats out of sight as two other men stood by running their hands over the vats. Bliss looked to see the angle see could produce and what sight the others could see. She remembered the men needing to look around for a few seconds, so the vats couldn't be in clear eye sight. Bliss acted on her instinct and leaped from her hiding place, sweeping the man closest to her's leg. Her hands moved for his knee and she let loose a burst of energy to shatter his leg. The other man made a startled gasp and a delayed stuttered action, as Bliss moved to make a shot at his jaw. Her open palm connected and she let forth another blast to dislocate his jaw. To silence the other man, she quickly placed herself over the back of his head and delivered a blow straight down.

Midnight Shadow was outside with the two of the thuggish group holding up a vat. He was interrogating them until he heard the sound of fighting inside the the research facility. Shadow quickly waved his hand and trapped the two men he was with in a bubble of dark matter. Then he continued forth into the research facility to look for the noise. After looking around for a moment, he turned to see a woman fighting two men by herself. This was curious, so Midnight decided to approach with caution. With the wave of his hand dark matter appeared and grabbed hold of the men that the woman was fighting, and began to pin them down. Since the woman was fighting them, there was a thought in Shadow's mind that she could have been one of the workers defending the vats, or just a person who was going out of her way to stop the men.

Midnight floated down on his shadowy disk to reveal his black and white costume and dark tone of aura, "Who are you," questioned the superhero to the woman seemingly average to him.

The newcomer didn't fail to surprise with the dark matter he summoned up. His question called out to her as he made his approach. "Who am I?" She echoed the question back to him, still standing firmly above the men she disposed. The dark matter appeared to gelatinous in viscosity and more than enough to handle these men. "You can call me Eclipse. That will suffice for now."

She put her hands on the platform behind her and lifted herself to a sitting position upon it. "I was in the neighborhood and made a stop to see what all the fuss was about." Her shoulder cuff rotated as a lever to move her torso around, sending her legs onto the platform that hosted the vats. They looked perfect for what she needed them for, and whats better it appeared the meatheads loaded them onto a truck for her. The metal felt cold to the touch, as she lifted herself to her feet and walked towards the vats for an inspection. "I honestly don't know what would possess a person to steal something of this magnitude and limited capabilities. Criminals can't be that bored, can they?"

An inverted glass submerged into the cold curvature of the metallic tomb. She lifted her scarf up around her mouth, and rested her hands on the collar of her coat. Not wanting to keep her new interloper waiting, she turned and walked to the edge of the platform.
