It was a dark and stormy night.  The kind of night that would prompt any law-abiding citizen to stay safely inside their homes.  Still, something was brewing in the gloomy streets.  And knowing the kinds of people that usually came out on nights like this, that something was probably big trouble.

Somewhere not too far from where The phantom is patrolling the rooftops, a young woman is having a little trouble with her car. It's not that she can't get it started - in theory she probably can, considering she's halfway under the hood with little thought to getting some grease or oil on her clothes - but she can't quite figure out why it won't start.

She also doesn't notice a couple of menacing-looking thugs heading towards her, grinning. Someone's boss isn't the most popular dame in town, and Rosie's a pretty easy target, if she's not behind the wheel. It might be she's in need of a bit of rescuing.

Did someone call for a rescue? In a fluid blur of motion the black cloaked figure leaps off the roof and lands squarely between the thugs and the girl. He says nothing, but quickly approaches the approaching criminals with fistfuls of green light in each hand. In the darkness, the greenish light casts a menacing shade over the scene, washing out warm colors to a sickly paleness.

Rose didn't hear the goons coming up behind her, or The Phantom drop down behind her, but she does notice the light, because it lets her see that some tubing of some sort had come loose, and that was her problem. She lets out a little triumphant, "Ha!" and reattaches it before closing the hood, wiping her hands on a rag, and turning around.

"Oh... oh dear."

teach me to tag when I'm mostly asleep

Danny hastily finishes taking down the last of the thugs and takes a few steps away, intending on disappearing before the girl could notice him. Only to find out it was already too late.

Hello, tag that somehow ended up in my spam folder.

Rose quirks an eyebrow at him from under her soaked curls, trying not to smirk. "Fancy getup you've got there, stranger," she says, laughter in her voice. "Guess you must feel pretty tough wearing it."

XD, I've done that before

[invisibill]

"I-"

Danny coughs and lowers his voice.

"It comes with the job."

And this was the reason he always tried to leave before anyone could start talking to him. He was horrible at the mysterious brooding rescuer act. But that was how vigilantes with strange powers were supposed to be. Right?

And then I was just lazy. >_> I swear I enjoy this thread! <3333

Something like that. Rose grins a little. "Well, you're doin' a great job... I don't think I caught your name? Or your alias, at least. I'm Rose, work for a PI downtown. We're always lookin' for someone who can give us a little info now and then..."

Always on the job, our Rose.

no problem. This game backtags forever anyway

"Call me... The Phantom." Danny felt a little silly being this dramatic, but on the bright side, who would connect someone who called themselves that with aspiring pilot Danny Fenton?

"And I'll keep that in mind."

Thank the gods. XD

Rose is not going to laugh in his face. Instead, she's going to smother a giggle as she looks through her handbag.

She pulls out a card that reads Rose Marshall, PI assistant and the number of her mobile telephone, and holds it out to The Phantom. "If you come across anything interesting, give me a call, all right? I won't even tell Ms. Dunham where I got the info if you like."

She taps the side of her nose and winks flirtily at him.
