I wandered to the back of the building. The sky had dimmed, the streetlights popping pools of light along the streets. It was pitch-black behind the building, but as soon as I had stepped out my back door, my mask had switched to night-vision. Everything was an off-green/grey. I saw a figure out of the corner of my eye.

"Well, I guess we meet again," a familiar voice quipped from the shadows. It was 'Leap,' the hero I had met at the beginning of the week. "Do you have a name yet, or are you just the 'nameless girl?'"

I rolled my eyes behind my mask. "I'll have a name soon enough." Honestly, I hadn't even thought of it. I could sense his smirk as he sauntered up to me.

"Good, 'cause I'd like to call you something. How abo-" he was cut short by a figure stumbling out of the shadows. It was a boy, and he wore a suit that blended in with the shadows. It was a greyscale, and the shades of grey seemed to change as he moved, almost making him invisible.

"Wow. Okay, I hadn't tried it that far before," he mumbled, then looked up to see us. "Oh, right. There are people. Um, hello."

How had he appeared like that? "How did you-"

"It's the new powers. I can travel through shadows and light. It's kind of like teleporting, but different. And for the light traveling, I can only go through street lights and lamps. Only artificial light," he explained.

"Alright. I'm glad to have you on our side," Leap joked. "What's your name? Like, the hero one."

He thought for a moment. "I'm thinking about being called Yin-Yang because of the dark/light stuff. What can I call you?"

"I'm Leap." He looked over at me, and I could tell that behind his mask, he was rolling his eyes. "She doesn't have a name."

"Yet! I don't have a name yet. I'll think of one soon," I defended. Let's change the subject, I decided. "Aren't there supposed to be two other people?"

"Yes, but unfortunately, they were unable to make it."

We whirled around to see a shadowy figure emerge from a panel in the wall. The panel closed behind him, and he came closer to us. When he entered the soft light in the small clearing, we saw that he was in a wheelchair. With greying blond hair and pale skin, he looked like he should be some kind of actor.

"Hello. I am Maker," he introduced himself. "You all have been observ-"

"Wait, you stalked us?"Leap asked, leaning backwards.

"In an appropriate manner. You will no longer be watched, but we had to know if you would be the right people for the job."

"Is this a test?" Yin-Yang asked cautiously.

"In a way, yes. Tonight you will patrol the city to make sure there is no crime. It will also help you work together and break in the suits. Remember, don't tell each other anything about your personal life. Good luck." He wheeled away back into the panel in the wall, and it closed behind him.

We stood there in silence for a moment, when Leap turned to me.

"Do you have a way of transportation?"

"No," I realized. "I don't."

"Well then, you'll have to travel with me. If I may?" He stepped a foot or two closer to me.

"How?" I asked, raising an eyebrow that he couldn't see. He seemed to falter.

"Oh. Good question. You could get on my back, you know, like a piggyback ride-"

"How 'bout I don't do that." There was no way I would be humiliated like that. No. Way. Besides, that wouldn't be a very good first introduction to the city that I was going to save. "Actually, as I was coming here I found out that this suit makes me a little faster. Not as fast as you, of course," I looked to Leap, "but still faster than the average human. And since I can pass through walls, I should be able to keep up."

Leap nodded. "'Kay. Then I guess I'll take the rooftops, Yin'll take the shadows-"

"No, do not call me "Yin,"" Yin-Yang argued. Leap shrugged.

"Alright. And you can take the ground, Nameless Girl."

I would have to make up a name soon if I wanted him to stop calling me "Nameless Girl." Oh well. At least now I had an incentive.

"Sounds good to me," Yin-Yang agreed. I nodded.

"Then let's blast!" I could practically sense Leap's grin.

I turned to him, and half-jokingly said, "Please never say that again."

His grin was still there. I could feel it.

"Mayyyybe I won't."

"You know what? I'm leaving. We'll meet back up in an hour." Then, Yin-Yang vanished into the shadows once more.

"I'm totally calling him Yin," Leap decided as soon as Yin-Yang was gone.

I couldn't help but smile. "He won't like that."

"Yeah, but it's shorter. And it'll grow on him eventually. Say, weren't there supposed to be two more people here?"

"Yeah, but I guess they couldn't come."

"Makes sense." He shrugged. "Ready to go?"

I nodded. "Yeah. And if you say "let's blast" again, I will hurt you and feel no remorse." Wow. I was so much more confident in this suit, where no one could see my face and no one knew who I was. Honestly, I never even knew this confident, outgoing, sarcastic side of me existed.

We set off into the night. Leap leaped (haha) across the rooftops, and I sped across the ground below him, phasing through streetlights and fences that got in my way. People shouted when they saw us, and brought our their phones to take pictures. When they did that, Leap would bring me up to the top of a shorter building so we could be in the picture together. I even heard one of the people say "Look! There're two more of 'em! Do you think they'll stick around, or what?"

That meant that they had seen Yin-Yang already. He must have passed here before us.

One news reporter shouted up to us, "HEY! WOULD YOU MIND COMING DOWN HERE AND DOING AN INTERVIEW?"

I turned to Leap in question. "Should we?"

He paused, thinking. "You don't have a name yet. Maybe we should do it once you have a name, because they'll probably ask who we are."

"True."

"SORRY, BUT WE COULD DO IT SOME OTHER TIME," Leap called down. The reporter gave us a thumbs-up, and turned back to her co-worker who was holding the camera.

We might need to head back soon, I realized.

"WHAT TIME IS IT?" I shouted to the people down below.

They all paused, but there was one guy that shouted, "9:23."

"Then we'll have to be getting back," I noted. We left around 8:30, and Yin-Yang had told us to meet up in an hour.

"Then let's go." Leap turned to the gathered crowd and waved. I waved as well, and the crowd cheered as Leap jumped to another building and I phased away through the floor.

As we left, a smile grew over my face. People actually liked us! We would get to help them by eliminating crime. We would get to give bakc to the people.

We reached the facility a few minutes later. Yin-Yang was already there and waiting.

"You're a few minutes late," he noted.

"Yeah, well, I guess that's just the price of being famous!" Leap countered, placing his hands on his hips.

Even though there was a mask over Yin-Yangs eyes, I could tell he had rolled them.

"Say, Yin, did you meet a huge crowd of people at the corner of Albany St. and 3rd St?" Leap asked.

He crossed his arms. "Yes, I did. And I thought I told you to not call me Yin."

Before Leap had a chance to answer, the panel in the wall opened up again, and Maker rolled out on his wheelchair.

"You're already all over the news," he called from the shadows.

Yin-Yang sighed. I guess he didn't want to be on the news.

His loss. I mentally shrugged. For me it was exciting. I'd never been on the news before, and even though they didn't know who I was, it still sent a rush through me.

"So there wasn't any trouble tonight?" Maker asked, not moving any closer.

I nodded. "People were just excited to see us.

"I can imagine. Well, you three have done a good job. Come back in two days, at the same time. You can go home." Then he rolled back into the wall and was gone.

We stood there in silence for a few seconds.

Then Leap broke it. "You think he lives in there?"

"That's a question that we'll probably never have an answer to," Yin-Yang muttered. "Goodbye. It was nice working with you." Then he frowned. "Even if this was the first time, and I didn't even really work with you."

"Nice working with you, too, Yin!"

Yin-Yang scowled before waving and vanishing into the shadows. Leap turned to me.

I shivered. It was cold tonight, and even though the suit was providing some type of warmth, it wasn't enough. The breeze penetrated it, sending chills through me.

"Bye, Nameless Girl." Leap flashed his signature grin, the one I'd been seeing directed at the civilians all night. Then he lept away.

I started to head home as well, but I kept to the shadows. If people saw me out and about like this, I'd probably be instantly swarmed.

When I made it home, I snuck into the backyard.

"Off," I commanded, and the suit shrank off. Gathering it under my arms, I felt for the spare key in the flower pot beside the door, and slipped it into the lock.

"I'm home," I called as I closed the door behind me. No one responded.

They're already asleep then. I should get some sleep too.

So that's what I did.
