I went into my room that night and stared at the ceiling until i could hear the raise and fall of aunt may, ben and vinderella's chest as they breathe, i walk to my closet and take off my clothes before i grab a black button up shirt and a pair of black jeans.
I use my webbing to tie up my face before wearing some white gloves and steel studded black boots, i made the shirt when i was bored and it could probably stop a bullet, Probably?.
I attached the GoPro to my chest and swung away around the city for some time, i didn't stop until i was atleast a few blocks away i flare my senses and hear a guy demanding money so i swing that way and land behind the robber as he threatens a guy with his knife and the guy just gives his wallet to him without problem as if he was just accepting it.
I tap the robber on the shoulder making him turn around and swing the knife at my face, i caught it and punched him in the face before asking the guy being robbed with a slight change in my voice "you ok?" he nods like a deer caught in a headlight.
I nod back and swing away to the place where i hear some guy talking about taking a hit while the other guy is telling him not to, i land on a nearby buildings wall and crawl to a position where i can listen to them while still out of sight.
Guy 1 begs "Come on man a deal this big wouldn't even notice if a few grams are missing"
Guy 2 shakes his head and says "I wish that was possible but they definitely would notice if even a grain of it is missing"
Guy 1 whines "Man you a fucking bastard for leaving me dry with so much grain in the bag"
Guy 2 tries to convince guy 1 "Once this deal is done you'll get enough money to buy some for yourself"
Guy 1 "whatever man but--wait they're here"
I look up to see a black suv parks nearby and 2 people in black and blue clothes get out of it before they quickly run upto the 2 guys give them a suitcase which they check for money and close it before nodding towards the goons who showed them to the garbage can from where the black and blue guys pick up a garbage bag and walks back to his SUV.
I follow them as the SUV goes somewhere else, i land on top of a roof looking down as the car parks beside a warehouse as the guys enter it i follow by clinging onto the roof after finding an opening through a window.
I listen as they talk about the shipment and how they'll get to hang back and let the runners do their jobs for a while before they have to get a new shipment and all of that, i look towards the left side to see someone getting out of an office like space and say "Martinez close the shop we gotta be somewhere" i could hear the Martinez guy tell his coke addicted buddy "by somewhere he means his wife's pussy" i cringe at the guys crude joke and wait until they leave and the lights are off.
I crawl into the office space and look around in the desks with bills about some garbage cleaning company and how much they charge for cleaning up a neighborhood or something.
I rush around looking for anything that could help me with figuring out how their whole system works and come up empty with nothing to show for it, i was about to leave while pinning this place as a part of some group that deals in drugs in the large while being really lowkey about the whole thing.
I was just about to leave when i remember something from my last life
'No man hide his dirt, he just puts it in the trash' i look through the trash he kept in the side closet to find nothing really worthwhile except a single piece of paper with a number on it.
I note it down and put a small recorder inside the roofing before leaving and stopping a couple of more chain store robberies, the small ones with two people at most and was just about to leave when i notice a figure jumping from building to building quickly.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
I follow them until they stop at a familiar place to meet two people who turned out to be bang and Susan, So the one jumping around must be Billie.
I decide to join them by taking off all the costume and webbing them to a spot i'll come back to later to grab and approach them while i say "hey" and they immediately get alert as Billie turns to me with this really fierce gaze that i thought was really hot.
I put my arms up in surrender as i say "Just me" and the tension leaves them as billie asks "what are you doing out here now?"
i tell them a made up lie "just wanted to get some air and saw someone jumping buildings in the middle of the night"
Billie blushes at that and says "we changed our schedule and now we steal food and some money at night"
i raise my eyebrows and ask "from closed stores?"
she pulls her hair behind her ear as she says "we have our ways"
Noticing her discomfort at talking about this i ask her "so what are you gonna do now?"
she tells me "Nothing we are just going to eat and go to sleep early cause we got a job tomorrow"
I turn to Susan and bang and ask billie in a whisper only she can hear "Do they not like me, why do they not talk when i am here?"
she looks suprised as she says "Well they had an abusive father and their mother wasn't much help. Soo, trust issues"
Goddamn whatever i try to say its all just painting a grin picture for them "What about you?"
she turns to them before turning back to me and saying "it doesn't matter"
I nod and ask "Can i join you?"
she nods and we sit down and talk for a while about this and that when i remember something and ask "Ase you legal?"
she looks offended as she says "excuse me!"
I back pedal and say "i meant would CPS take you away if they caught wind of you"
She looks at me weirdly as she asks "An why would they do that?"
I look back in the same way as i ask "Maybe because picking up children with no gaurdians is their job, that's why"
She snorts as she explains "I have already been through foster care and have really good gaurdians"
i raise my eyebrows and point towards Susan and bang so she explains "they are trying to escape bad parents and I'm helping them"
I nod at that and ask "is that why you teache them all of these, so that they can survive?"
She nods and says "I also work part time for rent on that rooftop room" as she points to a building with a small house on its roof with all the needs for 2 people who don't have to cook, who don't need a bed and probably don't even have enough clothes to go through winter unless in the house.
I ask her "do you need help?"
she rebukes immediately "i don't need charity"
i correct her "I'm not offering that either, all I'm offering is a platform for you to show your talents and a small fanbase to kickstart it"
She looks at me for a long time with a weird glint in her eyes before she says "I didn't know you did porn, send me the link I'll check it out"
I get flustered and blush red at her question and say "wha- no- i mean, i don't do porn, i meant YouTube"
she laughs at that "oh my god i thought the worse and was about to report to the police about you"
I too laugh uncomfortably at her stance on not supporting pornography by minors and her willingness to throw anyone under the bus even if they saved her life.
she asks after we stop laughing "So what do you do in your YouTube channel?"
i pull out my phone and show her the first video and she does some "oohs" and "aahs" and "you did not have to do that" here and there as the video played.
She nods and asks me "so what can I do in this. I am warning you already i got no science or maths in my bones"
I ponder about it and ask "Do you have any talents?"
She thinks about it with a cute pout before saying quickly "Hey i know, i got big tits"
I cough at that and turn to her in surprise and ask "really?"
She grins before she says "yeah wanna see them"
I get flustered and say "What--no, i- anyway we're getting off topic tell me something that doesn't sexualize you too much" but i think to myself 'wait why the FUCK DID I SAY NO'.
For some reason she looked disappointed at that and thinks for a while before saying in a 'meh' tone "i can sing too"
I immediately tell her "Yeah you can do that on youtube" remembering the Billie eilish of my last life.
She says "Give me that" as she grabs my phone ignoring my indignant shot of "HEY!" as she searches something and shows me a girl who is singing a cover of a really famous song.
i think for a second and ask "Why are you showing me this?"
she points to the views and says "I can admit without doubt that she is much better than me but 5000 views is the most she got what makes you think i have a chance"
I grab the phone and give it back to her with talking to the moon playing on it and she listens to it for some time before looking towards the moon and letting some tears fall as she probably thought of someone.
I waited until she wiped off her tears before saying "now look at the views"
She looks at the 20 million views and the shock on her face is quite understandable and she asks "Wait you wrote this song" i nod and she says "That's probably why it got so many views, this song can only be heard in this video and the video looks wonderful too" in a disappointed tone.
I think for a while and remember that billie's brother was the one who helped her write her songs so i suggest "How about this I'll write the songs and you sing them?"
She looks at me and asks "and what do you want in return?"
I think about it and say "well 60% of all profits should be fine"
She tries to haggle the price saying "that's a lot for a songwriter"
I look at her with raised eyebrows and a smile on my face and say "darling i could take 80% as i'll be writing, recording, editing and uploading it on my channel but i said 60 to be a fair person"
She blushes at my take and my use of the word darling as she says "i will be fine with that but how will you contact me"
I look at my phone in her hands and say "you still have my phone"
she says "hmm hmm" and types her number into it before giving it back to me and i notice the time is 2:48 and tell her "I'll contact you once i come up with a song" and leave after saying bye to bang and Susan which they only returned with a wave of their hands and that is good progress from the last time i guess.
I reach home and get in through the window and close before hitting the bed.
