For everything he despised about his adversary, James couldn't help but admire the grace and civility she displayed as she lightly led herself past the corpses and broken glass. Again, the young hero found himself forgetting that this was one of Delmont's most dangerous criminals. With his free hand, the Ant grasped another of his light grenades, readying it for use should she try to escape. Despite every urge, he couldn't help but smile beneath his mask at what she had to say. "I'm not scrawny, I'm just condensed," he teased back, playfully.
The masked hero checked their surroundings as they exited the bank into the open city. Of course there weren't any police officers, that would be too easy. "Don't you get cold?" The Ant tried to keep the blonde woman's mind busy so she couldn't come up with an escape plan as he began leading her towards the nearest police station, about half a mile away."I mean, being barefoot in the snow. Not that I chose the most practical outfit for this weather either, but still..."

"I'm hardly any shorter than you. And anyway, my weight is for women of a medium frame build at this height. My doctor said so." She knew it wasn't the best retort, but really, she didn't think she was "scrawny" at all. The blonde often heard in school or in stores about how tall she was, and her teachers even advised her not to wear heels. The way she could so easily act like an average female was probably startling, considering she had managed to murder a room full of innocent people, and had almost littered his arm with bullets. Are you having your fun, Eliza? The question flit into her mind, making her head lift in response; yes, she was merely humoring herself, but where was the bad in that?
"I didn't really think about having to walk in the snow," she admitted, stopping her walk long enough to look at the foot prints she had made, "But this is easier to work with... I'm sure you could've figured out something warmer to wear, but I've got a little bit more to deal with than science-y gadgets and throwing a few punches."

The police station was slowly coming into view, and James suddenly realized this wasn't the home stretch he'd wanted it to be. Whether deserved or not, the Ant wasn't exactly welcome in a building swarmed with police. Sending her in alone wasn't an option either, as James figured they wouldn't have any reason to hold her. "Don't imply there's something wrong with science and punches," He chastised as he tried to think of a way to incarcerate the young blonde. "It seems to have worked for me so far tonight." Surely they would review the bank's security footage when they had the chance, but by then it would be too late. Without a specialized cell, they wouldn't be able to hold her if they wanted to. And that's when it dawned on him.
"You're going to get away with this, aren't you?" The ant asked, unsuccessfully trying to mask the disappointment in his voice. "They're either going to let you go or you'll escape. You walked out willingly because you knew I had forgotten to bring any kind of evidence to back up my story." James began to gnash his teeth as he mentally berated himself for being so stupid. He began pulling the beautiful girl into a side alley to buy enough time to hatch a new plan. "So tell me, what do I do now?"

When she saw the police station through the little bit of falling snow, there was a sickening type of pleasure that rooted itself inside her stomach. The moment she was left to herself, she would win. No more police to bother her when she wanted to steal, and the city wouldn't be able to afford all the bad publicity it would receive. And better yet, if the hero came in with her, she could just as easily pretend he was the villain, and that she had been brought as some sort of hostage so he could get his way. Everything always worked out in a beautiful woman's favor, and she knew just how to pull a grown man's heartstrings. "It's cute you thought you'd won," She replied airily, smiling to herself, "Men like you are so amusing, but not very fun to kill." She could her the disappointment in his voice, and had to fight to keep from laughing. As he tugged her into the side alley the shadows overtook them, the street lamp no longer shining down on the two people. She couldn't help but keep from smirking. "You go home. " She said softly, as if it were obvious, before her body seemed to disappear like it were made of smoke.
