Welcome to Gaia! ::

Emily kept her phone sitting on her lap as she waited for a reply. Once she received the text, she typed up a quick text and placed her phone back into her purse.



"Alright... I need to head into the main area of the city." she said to the driver as she began digging around in her purse for something else. She had her suit tucked away in her "purse", so she had no worry about anyone seeing a costume walk into Edmond's office. The dress outfit Vandal had given her to wear out of the hotel wasn't exactly causal wear though. The coat she wore over the dress hid the diamonds, but it was still... something that was a few steps above what she would wear out and about. She shouldn't stand out too much though. Seem like a wealthy woman here to see a laywer.

Of course... if they were closed for the night, she'd have a harder time sneaking in without her costume. She should be able to talk her way up to the office though. At the very least, she had a bug she could use to disable the security cameras long enough to get up to the office.

It wasn't long before the cab pulled up to the street that Emily had directed. The car stopped in front of a designer clothing department, letting Emily out just at the doors. "Thank you. Go ahead and find some other work. I'll be a little while. I'll be waiting outside once I'm done here." she told the driver. Vandal was paying him to take her where she needed for the night, so she assumed that meant more than one location if needed. She didn't want him to know where she was actually going, so looking as though she needed clothes would be a decent excuse.

Once the cab drove out of sight, Emily crossed the road to get to the street where Edmond's building waited. Working in heels nearly all day at the Lounge made great practice for walking quickly. It took Emily only a moment or two to find her way to the doors of the Law Office.

She looked up at the doors for a moment, then took hold of the handle. Giving it an experimental push to see if the doors were locked or not.

As the door opened, Emily smiled a bit to herself. Good. It didn't look as thought the building was still open. The Count must be here already. That made the task of getting to his office bit easier. She shouldn't have to worry much about getting to his office inconspicuously.

Emily quickly moved inside the building and closed the door behind her. Once she was sure that no one else would be coming in, she turned and made her way up to Edmond's office as quickly as she could. Since she assumed he was here, she figured he could take care of the security cameras.

After a few flights of stairs, Emily came to the door of Edmonds office. She gave the door a test twist to make sure it was unlocked, and went inside as it clicked open for her.

Emily smirked a bit and closed the door behind her. "It's... been a very long night. Very long, and very interesting." she said as she moved into the room, lightly pulling the jacket over the diamond embroidered collar of the dress. "I haven't had a chance to look at anything I downloaded from Cobblepot's computers. Cobblepot came back before I was able to leave his office, along with Vandal Savage and a few others. He wasn't fooled by my stealth suit and... helped me out of the office. I had to meet with him afterwards." she explained. She walked up to his desk and began digging around in her large purse. As she reached his desk, she pulled out several usb drives and rectangular device with a cord.

"I haven't had time to look, but I guarantee there will be at least something on here that will be helpful to you." she said as she sat the device down on his desk. Then she handed him one of the usbs she had used to download information from cobblepot's computer.

Emily smiled. "Of course." she replied, placing her usb drives on the table. She decided not to press any of the other topics Edmond had said and focus on viewing the information instead. It was none of her business what other sort of work he had gotten himself into. And if he needed help, he could just ask. And... she wasn't going to try and explain Vandal Savage. Not unless he pressed the question. It would be more than a little odd to find out Vandal was the one responsible for her bloodied back, and that she'd just come back from a meeting with him.

... meeting was putting it lightly.

The redhead mutant pulls off her gloves, and then sit down to slip off her boots. Looking over to Jason, meeting his eyes, "As long as neither one of us have any major injuries, I suggest we both get cleaned up and get some rest."

The redheaded goth looked around the hotel room with two twin beds, one TV, a small desk and chair. Turning her attention to Matt Murdock, Skuld sat down on one of the beds, claiming the one closer to the bathroom, "Okay, do you want to rest first, then eat -- or -- go eat then sleep? I spotted a diner within walking distance."

"Considering we haven't ate god knows when, it would be a smart choice. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." Matt said as he was adjusting his glasses. He walked towards the door and opened it bowing down in the process.
"After you, m'lady."

"Of course, hold on," Angelica rushed over to Jason's side and began to help him get his shirt off. The redhead gave a sharp intake of breath viewing the unusual burn on the young vigilante's shoulder. Worried, 'Angel' hooked the man's good arm and pulled him in the bathroom, switching on all the lights, "I need to take a look at this immediately, if that is going to heal properly."

Firestar began to clean the area of the wound but was taking her time to avoid unnecessary pain for Jason. Angelica was using a washcloth, rising it constantly in the sink, to clean the shoulder. (and yes this. would, hurt.)
..........................



Skuld curtsied graciously, "Thank you, kind sir. Let's go and get something to eat then." Walking out in first, the goth redhead waited for the blind man to close the door, key in pocket of course. The hoodied goth hooked her arm in Matt's and walked with him over the the small silver aluminum diner, the early breakfast crowd beginning to show up, "Okay, let's get in here before they eat everything. Shall we?"
