but you know what they say about me

Who: Meg & various (closed)
Where: Throughout the town
When: The 21st-23rd.
Rating: R for language I'm sure
Summary: Meg is a general pest
The Story:

As usual, she's on the prowl.

It doesn't matter if it's in her own apartment building, or an alleyway a few blocks down. Meg is a silent witness to many things - or she would be if she knew how to keep her mouth shut.

Silence was lame, anyway.

There is this instinctual need to know what's going on at all times. Her fingers are also a little sticky, swiping a prized possession here or a few bills from someone's wallet when they bump into her on the street.

This doesn't mean she's particularly good at what she does. Luck is her very best friend, so close she's able to manipulate it just the slightest. Make someone fumble with their keys if she's inside their house snooping around, or make that light drizzle a complete downpour when she needs a quick getaway.

This is probably more of an annoyance to others than something to fear, but it keeps her alive. That's all that matters in her mind.

And so, she can be seen around town. Throwing out comments and, in general, being a pest that just can't be squashed.

The thing about being a superhero--about putting together a Super Cool Vigilante Detective Agency with your best friend--was that you weren't usually fighting supervillains. Usually, it was thugs who stole old ladies purses, metaphorically and occasionally literally. This was a case of the latter, and Scott, who was busy dealing with actual supervillains, passed the case off to his trusty sidekick, the Spark. Who would groan about being called a sidekick until the end of time, but money was money.

So he was supposed to be looking for a big gangster or something. Someone who just screamed "I belong in Lego Batman as canon fodder", not an evil mastermind. And it's when he's making his way through the city, using his still nigh-unexplainable powers to jump from building to building, he spots a woman reach forward and grab, with almost no pretense, a wallet and what looked like an incredibly expensive watch, from someone's purse. For a minute, he's almost gobsmacked at the fact that the person didn't notice, and then, he's yelling, "Hey--hey, stop right there!" and scrambling to try and catch her. It's rare enough your perpetrator falls into your lap--let alone that she (she!) ends up being entirely different than what you were expecting.

Doesn't make it even remotely close to an easy catch, though. (Maybe it would help if Stiles learned how to be subtle, but no one ever said a spark was that.)
