A woman was standing in her room, combing out her long dark ebony black hair with a small dark purple hair tie on her wrist. She had dusky skin with a few scars on her body, hidden by the black bodysuit with golden accents, matching black boots with red laces to add a pop of color, fingerless gloves which were the same color as her suit and her brother's golden earrings.
Her deep-set warm honey brown eyes were focused on her reflection. Once she was finished, she tied her hair up into a simple ponytail and left her room, walking towards the meeting room for a briefing. As she was walking, a few agents stepped aside. "Sorry, Tiger Lily!" Said Ann Tickwittee as she backed away, hearing the sound of the woman's killer 6-inch stiletto heel boots clicking further away. They all sighed with relief when she went into the meeting room. "You called us, Chase?" She said, her Indian accent slipping slightly.
"There's our little Tiger! We have a new mission for you." He said as he clicked a few buttons, causing a woman's face to appear even though it was covered by a fedora on the screen. "Sir, may I ask: who is that?" She asked, noticing the fedora. "That's Carmen Sandiego, a former partner of mine." She frowned slightly, remembering he mentioned he had a partner that went bad. "Ah, you have mentioned her to me before. You gave me her files when I was just a simple rookie during the history cases."
He nodded before going back to the screen. "Carmen has stolen all of the world's treasures and is holding a meeting with all her colleagues in crime. You need to find out why and stop her!" She smirked.
"And where do I come in?"
"You and our new agent, Agent 9 will infiltrate the meeting."
"I see. Anything else?" He shook his head."Good." She said, before leaving. A few minutes later, Agent 9 walked over towards her. "Ready, Agent Tiger Lily?" She looked at him as she crossed her arms across her chest. "Of course. I've been fighting crime since I was a rookie." She said, placing two fingers on her right earring. "Chase, do you copy?" She asked.
"Over, Tiger."
"Just checking to make sure nothing was wrong with them, Tiger Lily over and out."
She then took the fingers off her earring and started walking to the coordinates Chase had sent her. Once they reached the hideout, Chase quickly contacted her.
"Agent Tiger Lily, Chase Devineaux here. The satellites are still trying to lock onto yours and Agent 9's signals. You two must getting in deep, the reception is lousy!" She heard Phoenix squawk before Chase came back on. "Now you're clear. Ok, you better get going. We need to know what Carmen's up to!"
"Yes sir. Over and out." She said before hanging up as Agent 9 placed his hand on the recognition. She smirked seeing they had Access to the entrance of VILE central. She then heard a impressed whistle. "Some new headquarters, Carmen's really outdone herself!" Even she knew he was right. She looked up, her eyes met the receptionist's. "Ah! Carmen's new top communication specialists. Your clear for level 49." She tossed him a Jasmine flower. "A little token of thanks~" she said before they went to the elevator.
"Nice undercover work, ACME could use more double agents like you two!" She grinned a little at the complement before turning her attention towards the VILE central leader. "They used to say that the Roman colosseum could sit 50,000." Carmen then held up a orange gem with the colosseum INSIDE OF IT?! "They won't be saying that anymore! Colleagues in crime, meet the quantum crystallizer!" She then gestured towards a machine on the screen. "This powerful piece of engineering will reduce anything, even the most enormous objects into tiny gems."
Tiger lily was furious beyond words. She kept quiet as Carmen kept speaking.
"I've tested it on 12 of the world's wonders already and the results have been.. Brilliant! I'm happy to report that soon all the world's treasures will be safely tucked away!" She then placed the gem into a capsule and typed a password into the keypad. "And protected with secret passwords, known only to me. I'm sending them to secure VILE hideouts all around the globe for safekeeping. Until construction of my new headquarters is complete. Soon, this magnificent structure will be finished and VILE central will be invincible!"
Tiger lily was close to losing her temper when an man whispered something into Carmen's ear as she went back to the podium. "Well, well, well. It seems we got unexpected guests! Or should I say.. uninvited pests." She then pointed towards her and Agent 9. "Get the ACME infiltrator-!" The moment Carmen's eyes locked onto Tiger Lily's warm honey brown eyes, her cheeks started burning. "Uh oh." She then heard Chase. "Looks like it's time for us to make our exit. Head for the power plant and Tiger Lily?"
"Yes?" She could hear the smirk in his voice as he said the next words. "Show them what a scorned lady from Sri Lanka can do." She untied her hair from it's ponytail and laughed. "Bring it, الأوغاد (translation: bas*erds!)" she said before jumping into the fight. When Carmen saw Tiger Lily undo her hair, watching as it fell down her back, her heart was in her eyes. 'Holy- she's so gorgeous..' she thought as she defeated all the henchmen/ women that came at her. "Who else wants a shot at me?!" She shouted as her accent slipped.
Carmen walked down towards the beauty before her as Tiger Lily calmed down. Tiger lily slowly backed away until her back collided with the wall. Carmen placed her arm against the wall as the beauty frowned. "Get away from me." She demanded as Carmen stroked her face. "I don't think so." Tiger lily growled and turned her face away and grabbed her wrist. "Don't touch me or I'll break your fu*king WRIST." She snarled. "Still.. your so beautiful~" Tiger's eyes glowed as she pushed Carmen away as she rolled away from her, landing on the ground.
Her boots landed in front of her face. "I want to say something." She leaned down towards Carmen's ear and whispered. "I. Don't. Date. CRIMINALS." She said, Punctuating each word with each growl. She walked away, heading towards the power plant, opening the door and closing it behind her, noticing a Crystal in Agent 9's hands. "Good work, you two! Take a look at what I just found." A small screen of the blueprints of the Crystallizer appeared. "It's a blueprint of the Quantum Crystallizer. See this platform?" A circled spot on the blueprint appeared. "It's connected to the decompresser. The Crystal should snap right onto the platform then... bingo! Growth spurt! Go ahead, agent Tiger Lily- let's see if we can get that bridge back where it belongs."
Tiger lily plucked the yellow gem with the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco from the agent's hands and walked over to the decompresser. She snapped it on and watched as the Bridge disappeared from the Crystal and back into San Francisco Bay, where it belonged. "Nice job! One down, eleven to go. I'm still trying to figure out this section of the blueprint." A circled part of the blueprint appeared as it was on the bottom. "We've located more dens of thieves for you to investigate. Oh! And tiger lily, a robbery has just taken place at the Smithsonian museum since the DeYoung red diamond has been stolen!" He added, showing a image of the brownish-red diamond. "My people donated that stone from Sidney DeYoung when he died! I'm on my way!" She said.
'This is going to be a long day for me.' She thought. Carmen smirked watching the woman head to the institution. "Oh,tiger lily.. I can't wait to meet you once more when you get this stone back from me~" she said to herself, holding the same jewel that was stolen. When Carmen stole the Jewel, she left quite a clue for her love to find at the scene of the crime.
