Manhattan. The rooftop of the Waldorf. Icy chips hardly spare him a second glance, a click of stiletto boots, dropping a bag. Were it not for a small tell of a smile, he probably wouldn’t have known she even heard him as she knelt down and set up her sniper, setting up shop beside him.
“Follow you? You’d like that wouldn’t you, flattery and deceit are after all your darlings, as they say.” There’s a point in the click of her silencer over the barrel. “I didn’t follow you up here I’m working.”
Giving side eye as she takes aim through the scope, she laughs.
“You think me a little swallow?” Two shots into the crowd below, a man’ brains spattering. His secret service detail runs forward. People scream and run, trampling one another. She admires it all. “....but I’m afraid I bear no wings. I have no beak but pincers and claws and appendages, fangs and venom when I smile. I might be as grotesque as you, gargoyle.”
Gloved hands abandon her weapon and take off running, one parting glance back. “If you’re determined to stay and truly become a part of the architecture I will not fault you. But homeland will be along any minute for me and here... I will be not, Do svidaniya ” she bids, but then imparts. “---- or you could come with me. Fall into my web. It could be fun. If you entertain me I promise I won’t eat you.”
She salutes, vaulting and repelling over down the side of the building. “Up to you. Come or don’t. But keep up if you are.”
