Raleigh patting the little girls head and couldn’t help but give a small smile. “No problem.” Fighting these guys really was a ridiculous idea. Why the hell he was given a job like this is first place he didn’t know, but he damn well wasn’t going to do it. They could find someone else if this really bothered them.
“Ah…. Alright.” He wasn’t sure what he was going to do with so much candy but he took the offered bag, slinging it over his shoulder with a grunt. The damn thing was heavy. He was bound to have sore arms later from lugging it all the way home.
“Thanks… I guess.” Raleigh’s quirky smile returned. “Well then, feel free to go back to what your were doing. I won’t try stop you this time.”

"Bye mister!" The little girl chirped happily, very pleased the candy was going to keep on coming.
"Thank you!" Mist beamed and then continued throwing out hands and hands full of candy into the crowd.
Mist grinned at Raleigh too and then hopped into the store to get more candy and spread the candy lufff among the people.
((OMGF XD I can NOT beieve he DID that! Hahahahahah.))
Perfume Tell was pacing in her room. She was NOT pleased. She had been the one that had been assigned the superhero contact in Hawaii and just thinking about that made her cranky. Because WHO was the one that had to explain to Charles why their super had let a bunch of villains run off? SHE DID! She was in an extremely bad mood now, which only increased because Raleigh was so late. Where. Was. That. Boy?
Perfume had received the news about the villains two hours ago, had sent out the directive to the boy five minutes later, but then got held up in sending the debrief men there. They had arrived an hour later, with the candy giving in full progress and no sign of Raleigh. Upon closer enquiry, it had been revealed Raleigh had come, gone and TAKEN SOME OF THE STOLEN GOODS! WHAT KIND OF SUPERHERO WAS THAT?!?! Take in a breath. Calm down. Good Perfume, good girl. She had had immediatly sent out another message to the boy, telling him to report to her ASAP. But. He. Was. Not. Here. Yet.
Perfume took in another deep breath. Nonetheless, her own men had taken care of it, immediatly arresting the two criminals and throwing them in jail, despite the protests of the crowd. Nasty business. Very nasty business. The crowd had been so upset they had engaged into a fight with her men, which quickly escalated into a massive fight. All because one stupid evolved couldn't take care of this situation.
She growled again. The more she thought of it, the worse it all became. And she HADNT even reported to Charles yet.
That boy had better come VERY quickly or there'd be hell to pay.
(( *wink* Just decided every super has a contact with the government they have to explain their actions to. =P Have FUN! ))

Raleigh was late for a number of reasons. Firstly, he wanted to drop his new bag of candy off home. Then when he finally got home he spent ten minutes explaining to Ruri where the candy had come from and trying to stop her from eating it all in one go (‘Your thighs are going to be enormous soon!’ eventually did the trick). After that Ruri roped him into feeding and changing Hannah and then asked him fix the leaking shower (which apparently couldn’t be done later when Raleigh got home because the damn thing was ‘really, really annoying!’).
Strolling into the room for his meeting with Perfume Tell, a person he didn’t know and didn’t really care to know, he looked calm and unhurried, despite the fact that he was extremely late. He crossed his arms over his chest and waited. Raleigh was expecting some backlash from the earlier mission; after all, he had completely ignored his orders. But he was damn well not going to take too much crap. The mission had been stupid. He deserved something much better than that.

"You!" Perfume had risen from behind her desk and glared heavily at Raleigh. "Where the HELL have you been?!"

With a definite air of arrogance, Raleigh looked away from her in a show of boredom. “I was at home.” He knew he should at least try and get along with this lady but he wasn’t in the best of moods. She was, after all, the one who had sent him on such a ridiculous mission (plus he’d just had to fix that stupid shower for the fifth time in three days). Thus Ms. Perfume was guaranteed to get his less than nice side.

Perfume's eyes had narrowed. "Well then, I'm glad you dragged your sorry little a** out of there," she spoke coolly. "What possessed you to act like you did!? You let those criminals run FREE? And you JOINED them in their exploits?!" Perfume was very angry, but wasn't the type that completely lost it when she was. She would shriek, shout, or throw stuff, but would always be in control when necessary. "And do NOT give me that attitude, young man! Do you even KNOW who I am?!"

Raleigh took a minute or so after she’d finished yelling in order to control the urge to turn her desk into something nasty. “No I don’t know who you are and I don’t give a damn.” He remembered the two so-called robbers and the smiling faces of the crowd. “As far as I’m concerned they weren’t doing anything wrong. They were making people happy and that’s no crime. If you don’t like how I handled the situation it’s your own problem. Send someone else to do your dirty work.”

"You'd better START caring, because I can get your a** thrown into jail so fast, you won't even know what's hit you. If I give you orders, you will follow them. If I say you have to capture two criminals, you will capture two criminals. If I say you are to jump up and down and squee like a pig, you WILL do so. Charles has placed you under my authority and so you will listen to my orders. Understood?"
Perfume's eyes had narrowed at at Raleigh, something which was a sure sign of danger for all those that knew her well. Charles hadn't promoted her to head of division without a good reason. Perfume was good. One of the best, in fact and scary as hell. Subordination was something she simply did not tolerate and her units were usually the most tightly operated and well controlled. Flawless. Perfume wasn't someone to mess with. Someone that went against her, wouldn't last very long.

Raleigh’s eyes narrowed. There was only one person in this world that was allowed to talk to him like that and it certainly wasn’t this woman. Back straight, chin up, he met Perfume’s angry glare. Not only was this a challenge but he was being treated like some sort of mindless lackey, and he didn’t like that one met. Apparently he was supposed to do what he was told and that was the end of it. Well, that was not the case, and this stupid woman would have to learn that pretty quickly.
“Understood perfectly.” Raleigh gave an odd little grin. “But if you tell me to squeal like a pig you’re more likely to find my fist in your face. If I don’t like the orders you’ve given me I am not going to follow them, full stop. Go ahead, throw my a** into jail… just don’t expect me to be there long.”
He considered her threats empty and her words juts hot air.
Ooc: Oh dear. XD

"Very well then," Perfume told Raleigh coolly. She pressed a button on a panel of her desk and the oddest sensation would fill the room. Perfume had just pressed a button that activated a new system that was able to nullify powers in a large area instead of the collar. This new system required no skin-to-skin contact but was very high-maintanence and therefore couldn't be used often, or regularly.
Perfume did activate it now, taking away every bit of evolved power Raleigh possessed. There would be no more connections, no more bits of power.
Nothing.
A sensation that must have feelt awful to any evolved, a sensation as if some vital part of them was cut away and disorientating to say the least, terrifying to say the second.
The door had slammed open only seconds after Perfume had pushed the button and several armed men trooped in, pointing their guns at Raleigh. These were the ones from Perfume's squad, the absolute top of the line professionals.
"Please come quietly with us." One of them told Raleigh.
"Yes," Perfume told Raleigh coolly. "Please do so. Lets see which one of us will be having the longest breath in this tete-en-tete," she smiled kindly at him.
One of the men had come forward to snap a collar around Raleigh's neck, at which point they'd escort him to one of their own, safe holding facilities.
None of the guards were mean or made any disdainful remarks. They simply did their jobs, without judgement, because that's what they had been trained to do. If nothing else, they treated Raleigh kindly enough when he wasn't threatening to them.
And so Raleigh found himself in jail. Bearing one of those awful collars that surpressed one's powers. Yes, the design HAD improved from the early days on and it wasn't the pure torture it used to be, but it was still PAINFUL and uncomfortable and if borne too long, it would still burn away the skin of the neck, buuut Raleigh wasn't *supposed* to stay there long.
((*snicker* Is that enough to work with? Perfume'll come back in within the next few days. Geh, I hope I'not driving him to the DA side? razz *snicker* Charles will be PISSED.
@_@ Not to mention Ruri. *cry*))

A wall slammed down on his powers. Something so very, very important to him had suddenly been taken away and Raleigh was left reeling. Eyes widening he took in a shocked breath, feeling as if that breath shouldn’t be available because he was drowning. By the time the world made sense again he was surrounded by a bunch of men with guns and collar had been snapped around his neck. Disbelief was followed by a wave of pure anger.
“YOU b***h! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!”
Unmindful of the guns he lunged forward but was quickly stopped and after a brief, useless struggle was led from the room. Once he was out the door Raleigh calmed down and fell into silence, doing what he was told but otherwise barely acknowledging the presence of his guards. He could feel the collar around his neck, a heavy object that grew more and more painful by the second. Then there was the hole where his powers had been. That feeling was even worse.
When Raleigh was finally alone in his cell he let out a few emotions, smashing his fists against the wall with a loud, angry yell. The pain it caused distracted him from his neck for only a second. Then he paced in his small space, imagining various ways he could make her pay before he forced himself to calm down for a second time.
Taking a deep breath he settled himself down on the floor. On his knees he folded he hands in his lap, practiced even breathing and just waited. They wouldn’t break him so easily. But how many days could stand in this place?

Raleigh didn't have to wait very long. Perfume came to see him only a few hours after he had been locked up. A guard placed a chair in front of the bars and she sat on it, studying Raleigh.
"Did you calm down somewhat?" she asked him.

Still kneeling, Raleigh opened his eyes and glared at Perfume balefully. “Yes.” He answered shortly. Even though he had calmed down, it didn’t make it any easier to see her. Having his powers taken away and being held captive brought so much rage to the surface. Watching her carefully, Raleigh waited for Perfume to speak again.
Ooc: Hey, have you ever read 'The Sword of Truth' series by Terry Brooks? ninja

"Will you obey my orders from now on?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
((Nope. What's it about?))

Raleigh almost laughed. Instead he gave her a smile, which would have been pleasant had there not been so much anger in his eyes. “No.” So, take his powers away and stick him in jail and expect him do whatever he was told afterwards? “Heh. Definitely not.” But how long could he stand having this ‘thing’ around his neck?
---
Ooc: Oh. XD Well it’s about magic and fantasy and all that stuff. But in it there are these collars that this group of priestess’s use to control wizards. They put it around the wizards’ necks when they’re young and it nulls their powers. The priestess’ can send unbearable pain through the collars with only a thought.
It just seemed kinda similar.
