The two girls walked on the sidewalk as Nicole pointed to the target, an abandoned building that two kids were defacing. one was a female zebra wearing a white suit and a matching derby hat with black symbols written on her attire, topped with an black eye mask she was spraypainting on the delapitated brick wall. the second was a male bat wearing a black stealth suit, and a metal orb over his head resembling an gaint eyeball, throwing a brick as it crashed through a dusty window.
Nicole held Harumi to the side"Looks like Grawlix and Peeping Eye, but I don't see The Composite anywhere".
Nicole pulled the circular shield off her back, putting her forearm through the straps. Harumi getting the hint looking around and finding a wooden broom handle, stepping on the end breaking the brush off; having a makeshift staff as Nicole called out.
"HEY, you two, stop that right now!" Nicole called out, changing into her shieldmaiden persona on a dime as Harumi simply stood with her. The zebra tossed the can behind her, clearly the leader of the group walking up to Shieldmaiden. Harmui remembered what she was told about Grawlix, The writting on her suit did not give it away.
"Oh Look Eye, It's the Femme Fiveway" the zebra teased, her hands, resting on the cane, in front of her as Nicole grumbled, stating it was Fivesome, not Fiveway as the The Eye jumped from the balcony, gliding down to Grawlix, the glass pupil of his gaint eye, switching from black to purple. he whispered something into the Zebra's ear as she giggled. he turned to the two girls, his pupil turning back to black.
"So who's the newbie, guess the rumors are true, your number two left" Grawlix teased, adjusting her hat. a small group of people poked their heads around watching as the four kids were standing oppisite of eachother.
Peeping Eye made the first move, pulling a small ball from his belt, throwing it down as the two vanished in a puff of smoke. The heroes analyzed the area, as Harumi felt the head of Grawlix's cane strike her in the back, turning around and dodging the second hit.
Grawlix struck again and Harumi blocked it with her broom handle, moving quickly to strike the zebra's knee with the wooden pole, making her stumble. The peeping eye, jumped on Harumi's back, clinging as Sheildmaiden pulled Grawlix away from the fight, blocking the next strike with her sheild and slamming againt the zebra. Harumi glanced at The Peeping eye who teased Harumi before flying off; or he would of; if Scarlet Shinobi had not grabbed his ankle.
Harumi flipped the bat, Peeping Eye landing on his feet as he swung a punch at her. Harumi simply caught the arm, holding it behind his back as she pushed him sending him facedown on the ground, sitting on his back. Nicole picked up Grawlix and tossed her in a dumpster, the two girls recived a cheer from people passing by. The fight had ended so quickly as Nicole put her hand on Harumi's shoulder."Come on, let's continue patroling".
The two headed back to the Femmebuggy, away from the ears of the public as Harumi looked to the team leader, still a bit excited from fighting a supervillian, but feeling the fight ended abruptly.
"It was anticlimitic" Harumi explained as Nicole let out a small chuckle, turning to the panda; as if there was somehing she was not aware off.  She just explianed that Blue Nevada were not a real threat, just low level trouble makers.
"You do know the levels, those guys were level Green?" Nicole explained as it was basic knowlage. Level Red was reserved for those world-ending types, Level Orange for international super villian organazations, Yellow for villian who threat a small location, and Green for Villains who are barely a threat.
Blue Nevada certianly were Level Green as they were just costumed hooligans.
 The two continued their patrol, driving the buggy around the town. Nicole glanced over at her new partner.
"You know you handled yourself well, both at the interview and with Blue Nevada, though it was just two of them, don't worry. if we get lucky we might get to a fight a yellow level threat one day" Nicole complimented as Harumi nodded. the rest of the patrol was stuff she had done before. catching a robber and retriving a stolen skateboard. After a few hours Nicole suggested they go grab a bite to eat, being on the fence about it.
"I mean I could go for Froyo, If you're down...You know what, you did a good job on patrol, and held your own, we're getting Froyo" Nicole decided, pulling the buggy into a local resturant.
Nicole explained that locals liked it when the girls visited places, warning Harumi that some people might ask for an autograph or permission to take a picture. the Red Panda simply nodded, watching the bear, park the buggy, getting out as Nicole held a fob from her belt, pressing a button as the buggy beeped. "In we go, they have a new strawberry shortcake flavor I've been dying to try out"
The Two entered the resturant, walking through the building as they reached the line, getting behind two teenagers talking as people noticed the two costumed girls but did not say anything. As Nicole forewarned the two were approched by youngers kids who chatted it up with her, asking her to do poses and if they could have a photograph. the bear had no problems and was very welcoming, living up to her part as a rolemodel.
"Okay everyone, we appricate your support but if you'll excuse us, Scarlet Shinobi and I simply want get our food and have our privacy" Nicole requested as the group around them politely dispersed.
Eventually the two approched the counter where they were asked for their orders. Nicole did not even look at the menu, deciding that she wanted the aforementioned strawberry shortcake yogurt with a cookie crumbs, Harumi simply looked through the menu before just getting Mint with achoclate drizzle. after ordering the two stood at their counter waiting to be handed their yogurts. Harumi simply looked around.
"So... Blue Nevada, are they usally that easy?" Harumi asked as Nicole looked around to make sure they werent being eavsedropped as they sat in the back of the resturant, sure kids were eyeing them but they were most certainly out of earshot as Nicole spoke a tone above a whisper.
"Oh THAT, that was just a show, a display to properly break you into the FF" Nicole said taking a plastic spoon from the dish in front of them, peeling away the wrapper, crumpling it with her fingers as Harumi did the same. She was in a bit of shock as Nicole basically admit the fight was staged, putting the spoon into her yogurt.
Harumi looked at Nicole, trying to fathom what she just heard as Nicole whispered again, telling the ninja that the two were in on it and they were actually pretty cool. "Me and Grawlix hang out regularly...outside of costume" Nicole explained placing a spoonful of yogurt in her mouth as Harumi looked at her a bit dumbfounded.
"It's true, every saturday we play mini-golf" Nicole added as Harumi collected herself. Nicole explained, that what happened earler was just a show for the public and while the FF sometimes fought real threat most costumed children, especially the villians were just playing a role.
After eating the girls left the resturant, heading back to the Buggy, Nicole placing the empty paper cups into the trash can as the two were seated. Harumi was still processing what Nicole had told her as she was driven back to the flat. The Buggy stopped in the garage. Nicole turned the vehicle off, checking her wristwatch before looking at Harumi.
"You did good for your first patrol. I'm gonna take a shower get changed then go to the Putt Palace, you want to come?" Nicole asked, lifting off her helmet setting it aside she she wiped her forehead free of sweat as Harumi looked at her, asking if she was going to play with Grawlix as she was previously told.
"You should totally come...if you want, Grawlix, I mean Allison would love you" Nicole offered as the Red Panda thought this over, suprised that Nicole would play Mini golf with a supervillain despite throwing her headfirst into a dumpster but apparently that was just a spectacle and accoeding to Nicole, her real name was Allison, and she was super nice. Harumi decided to come along if anything just to keep an eye on Grawlix, and partially because she really liked Mini Golf.
Harumi headed to her bedroom, sniffing her hero attire would smelt like it needed to be washed, she slid out of her Scarlet Shinobi attire, tossing the black robes on her head,getting a change of regular clothes and a towel as she walked through the hallway where the bedroom were. At the end of of the hall was the showers which were comunial.
When Harumi first got there she was skeptical about showering where the other girls could just walk in but no one else had a problem with it, it was no differnt than after gym class as her old school. Harumi met up with Nicole, out of her armor. Harumi made note of her bigger the armor made her look as Nicole looked like a normal kid without it. the two headed into the showers, each getting under one of the heads.
Harumi watched the brown bear reach for a bottle of body wash, squirting a glob into her paw, lathering her fur and Harumi did the same.the shower filled with the arouma of berries which could be attributed to the scented wash and shampoo. Harumi held her head under the water, watching the suds melt off her body, feeling cleaner as she turned off her showerhead, reaching for her towel, wrapping it around herself to dry off.
"Thanks Nicole, I really enjoyed patrolling with you today" Harumi added as once she was dry she got dressed in her regular attire a red button up shirt and a shin high skirt as she saw Nicole's regular clothes, a white shirt and pink overalls, Nicole rolled her eyes.
"Yeah I get it, Pink overalls, get it out of you system" Nicole egged on as the panda smirked.
"No, I get the overalls, they're cute but these. Shieldmaiden wearing Baby Blue panties with cupcakes printed on them" Harumi let out a rare giggle as Nicole took them them from the Panda.
