Saiba-Ban had his ski mask on and he had all his gear ready. He looked like he was indeed a crook. His whole body was covered so no one would know what he looked like. He had hidden in a dumpster near the bank and scanned around. He didn't see anyone around. He was in an alleyway alone. There was no one around. He didn't sense anyone nearby. "Ok it's go time." It was dead of night too everything was in his favor to get this done. All he had to do was not get caught. He would step out of the dumpster wiping some garbage onto the floor. Right now to get in.
He would begin to climb the side of the bank building. He had scouted it out had no security on the sides just part of the roof and the door way of course. That was why he went up top though. No cameras here just a security guard. He would sneak up behind him and quickly choke him out. He did have to leap up to do it and it made a bit of noise but no one came out. He would wipe some sweat away. However, as he got ready to move to step two he sensed someone coming. 'oh fuck' Saiba-Ban crouched hopefully no one would notice him or the guy on top of the bank. If that happened then well, this plan might be all up in smoke.
The world hardly skips a beat in step where it didn't require some sort of attention from her. Jackie had been feeling better over the past few days, and now had taken it upon herself to get back into the swing of things. She wanted to be sure she could deal with domestic stuff again before she set off on her journey back to Namek. It was times like this she was thankful she had so much time to train up her senses. Arguably, she was the strongest human and most adept in ki control.
So finding out something fishy off a suppressed power alone wasn't too difficult. Who walks around with that much strength anyways? Regardless, the woman would set out towards West City. To first clean up the few places she hasn't been to extensively, and to try out her true control over her recovering strength. The suppression she had going here was a good start.
Where was this, a bank? The young woman stepped onto the roof and sus out anything else she could gather just be feeling the situation. One small power and one big. Really, just one guard? Jackie sighed and got on in this awfully low-security roof access and went on down into the place. Without so much as even seeing this little green man, something would start encroaching on his mind before he had a chance to react to her presence.
"Care to explain what you're doing in here?" Dissonant, her voice wasn't so much aggressive as it was stern while she made her way through the stairwell. Banks don't usually hire people that tough for guard duty. It was a red flag.

Saiba-Ban saw the power level pass by. Ok, guess it was just someone walking around. But of course, that was not the only one he had been so focused on the one power he didn't notice the other arriving. It was even smaller than the other power level that he ran into. But the person was not super close to him. In fact, they would seep into his head to talk. Saiba-Ban faced scowled. He really hated when people entered his head to talk to him. It caused him a lot of pain when those thoughts filled his head. Why don't people just talk normally? Did they want to be cool or something?
Saiba-ban snapped his head over to Jackie who was asking what he was doing. Crap what was he going to say. He had an unconscious guy laying on the roof. But she seemed to not have noticed that being a fact. He would grab some things on the roof to cover the body just so Jackie wouldn't see it. "Oh? well, how can you talk in my head ain't that rude." Saiba-Ban called out as he worked on this. Hopefully, it give him some time to you know figure out what to do with the unconscious guard and what he'd do about the lady. He was not sure he could just knock her out. That would be two people and she had seemed to know he was here. So he had to make her think he was not about to sneak into this bank.

Oh how very interesting. It was... quite open on the roof. So finding this little guy all suited up with a mask on was all but incredulous. She was expecting some masked robber, not what looked like a parody of a slasher. Those crimson eyes lock with his as he seems to start moving, talking aloud as if she wasn't going to see him start... Covering this poor guard up with what she could only assume were tools of the trade.
"It's telepathy. Sorry, currently the only way I can communicate. What I'm not sorry about is stumbling upon... THIS. Whatever this is." The darker earthling stepped closer, revealing her not as ambiguous light clothing and carrot top hair. Her lips creased up into a slight smile. She often wondered how much these types THOUGHT they could get away with if she just watched silently a moment.
"Dunno what plans ya have for the place but I suggest you vacate with your belongings and leave them be. I'm not a big fan of making a scene out of 'illegal activities', but I'm not gonna watch forever." The threat was obvious, even if she didn't feel all that strong from just gauging her current strength. WC: 208 TWC: 497
Saiba-Ban was annoyed at this woman saying this was the only way she could talk. "Well it is annoying it really hurts my head." Saiba-Ban rubbed his head. Maybe she should find a different way to talk to him it was really making his head thumb. Saiba-Ban listened as Jackie told him that he should be causing any trouble, she was not going to watch forever. Saiba-Ban would leap down from the bank. This was a pain, he was going to have to do something about this. Maybe he was going to have to go to a different bank. Saiba-Ban at least was covered up so the woman could only see that he was three feet tall. Maybe she would assume he was some sort of dwarf or something. "Well ok, you caught me I guess I'm just going to leave."
No real reason to stay around at the current point. He could hopefully just walk away, this lady would forget about this then he could come back later. It was not as if she was going to stand here for the next week just in case he came back to try to put the camera in this bank. Or he could just go to another bank. Yeah, that might work even better. Hopefully, this would be the case and he'd not have to fight. Because even if she seemed like she was weak she could use some mind powers or whatever. So she must have had some training and with his hidden appearance, it was possible a fight would exposé who he truly was.

Damn... had the bank already closed? At this time he really shouldn't be surprised; shouldn't have spent so much time dilly-dallying around before hand. Fukushu was getting prepared to call it a day and head back out of the city until his scouter picked up something odd. "Twenty thousand? Coming from where... the roof? What are they doing up here at a time like this? Must be a security guard or something..." The Heran wouldn't waste any time climbing up on top of the roof to get a better view of what was going on.
To his surprise there was quite the scene going on, with a hidden figure yelling out to a woman who seemingly had no response? It's like the guy was talking to himself, but that wasn't what Fukushu was focused on. His scouter pinged off; the little man who was trying to be incognito was the one with the power level of twenty thousand; the female was just a civilian with a power of five. At this point Fukushu had no reason to get involved, and prepared to leave until his scouter pinged off again. It detected another level next that was quite low, even smaller than the lass's was. An animal perhaps? Or... someone wounded? He couldn't leave without knowing.
The Heran rushed into frame and pushed himself into front of the girl. "Stand back madam; this guy is leagues above you." Fukushu pumped his chest up and pointed at the figure trying to scurry away. "You there! I demand to know what you've been trying to hide. No crime will go unpunished on my watch."
Well, this small guy was lucky he was just getting a headache from the guardian. If she were more a vengeful kind, she'd probably try actually handing the guy into authorities. That wasn't exactly her place on Earth though. Likewise, he was going to be doing the correct thing in taking her mercy and just slinking off elsewhere. Later. Devoting her whole time to helicoptering over him wouldn't be the best use of time. Jackie just crossed her arms and smirked.
"I'd hope you reconsider this and any future attempts. A lot of people aren't as nice as I am. Most would rather-" Declare themselves with a bravado that could make a Kami blush. Oh. She was. From the sheer embarrassment of watching this hulking teal man got in between her and the disguised thief. Shouting very clearly a more declarative on his admission to crime-fighting. It sorta made sense, what with the accords and all, that some others would even feel emboldened by the fact they could use their power for the state. There were obvious downsides, but here it was honestly refreshing to see if it isn't a fake persona.
"Ehhh hehe... What?" Here, she'd try and attempt to bridge both of their minds to her at once. A trick from Erebos. It'd help out so she can communicate with both of them at once. Jackie made little in attempts to back off from the scene anyway, but this man calling her 'madam' of all things was peak cheese. Still, she was more than capable even if she hid her power.
"A little late there, champ. And don't worry about me. I'm more than capable. I was just trying to dissuade our little guest here." She was almost curious. Maybe she could watch a bit and see just what this hero would do. A good measuring stick to compare other people to. WC: 318 TWC: 815
Just as Saiba-Ban was just going to you know leave, he sensed another power was arriving in the area. He had to wonder if he should of maybe just done this somewhere else on Earth. It seemed this was a hotbed of people putting their noses where they should not. The man was stronger than him and landed with authority asking what he was doing wanting to know what crime he had done. Saiba-Ban grunted. “None, yet. And last time I checked something can’t be a crime unless you actually perform an action.” Ok, so he knocked that guy out. And planning a crime was a crime in itself in some cases. Just had to hope these two smucks would not read the fine print of that sort of stuff.
That woman thought was still talking in their heads. Saiba-Ban really hated it a lot. It was making his head thump. He really just wanted to get out of here before it got worse. Saiba-Ban shook his head. “Well I been stopped lady. No way i’m gonna try anything here. I am gonna go home look at my life and realize that crime is a very bad thing. Maybe get work at some sort of restaurant or wherever they pay people almost no money.” Play off a bank robber attempt. Good idea, since they didn’t realize he had bigger plans. Being thought of just some failed crook who needed money would also maybe get them to lay off on him quicker! That seemed like a good plan to Saiba-Ban.

Fukushu rushed ahead towards the little man, and finally the unconscious body of the night's guard finally came into view. Just as he had thought; there had been a crime committed here, and as usual the Heran was more interested in delivering his own brand of justice rather than aiding the victim. Stopping in his tracks he turned back to the woman to correct her mistake. "If you think you've accomplished anything here you're sorely mistaken. Criminals are not dissuaded; they're either taken care of, or they're not. Right now all I see is a criminal that you're preparing to let go. I don't intend to stand by and watch him harm someone else."
Turning back now to the criminal he decided to do his best to deliver justice. "Under normal circumstances I may execute you, however being as I am a guest on this planet, and am still not quite familiar with the law of the land I'll have to restrain myself from doing what I think is best and turn to the local authorities. I demand that you surrender over yourself into my custody, so that I may deliver you to the local law enforcement; I intend to stand watch until you are collected, at which point I shall collect my reward and leave. You agree to this?"
The Heran would stand there, hands on hips, waiting for a response. He wasn't sure how the lady would play into this yet; how'd she fall about his actions, but if she really wanted to get involved perhaps she could earn part of his reward.
