Alice nods reluctantly, "I guess." she replies. "Can you use your super speed to get out of here, and we can meet up somewhere later?"

" I can try. I'll at least lure him away." Jason walked over to the window and shouted out," Keep your drawers on, psycho, and let me put mine on."
He gave Alice a peck on the cheek as he pulled on his exosuit. " Remember the coffee shop? I'll be there in 45 minutes. No heroics, okay? Just play dumb like me and you'll be fine." He smirked and kissed her again
" I love you too." He said as he took off out the door at top speed, a blast of energy exploding in the walkway behind him.

Alice smiles as she returns Jason's kiss and watches him take off. Staying away from the windows and out of sight, she does her best to change her appearance. She changes her hair colour to a dark red and changes her eyes to dark blue. She then makes herself look a bit tanned, as opposed to the pale skin that she normally slathered sunscreen on to keep from burning. Alice then takes off her jacket and stashes it in a closet, making sure there was no id or anything left in the pockets that could identify who she really was.
Next, Alice attempts to change her voice, so she no longer has an English accent. She then attempts to change her facial features enough so that she doesn't look like herself, rather like some indistinctive American. Alice then listens to see if anyone is still outside, hoping they would have all followed Jason.

once outside, Alice heard unmistakable laughter. " I should have known Dexter would have company." Wraith cackled, motioning for another man dressed in the same uniform as him. " My dear, I don't know how much you were charging, but unless he paid up front, you won't be collecting from that fugitive any time soon."
the other spoke in a low voice. " what do we do with the hooker?"
Wraith shrugged," Send her back to corner I guess, Arc. Won't Dexter's ex be furious when she finds out we caught him with his pants down, literally." Wraith exploded into laughter.
The other man gruffly motioned Alice away. " Hopefully your pimp doesn't beat you too bad." He stated rudely.

Alice fights the indignity of Wraith's assuming she was a hooker, but decides to go along with it since it'll help her escape. She just nods quickly and nervously at Wraith and the other man and walks away quickly hugging herself. For the first time, she started to understand how powerful this power of her to change how she looked could be and what William had been talking about. She walks quickly until she is out of sight and then ducks behind a corner and leans up it, closing her eyes and signing in relief.

Alice could overhear the two men talking as she took a breather.
" He's got good taste." The one called Arc said.
" This coming from a man with none." Wraith cackled. " Forget her, we need Firefight to keep the Mayor happy."
" fine. But I should have got her number."
Wraith only laughed louder as the two moved away. " Call Cre... Nero, I keep forgetting that, and see if they're having any luck tracking him down. I want to have some fun before we send him off to Gramercy."

Curious, Alice attempts to read Wraith's mind to try to determine why they need to capture Jason to make the mayor happy (telepathy: 4, ISP remaining: 1)

Before Wraith could get out of range, she managed to peel away Mayor Siang talking to Wraith and his companions.
" Bring in the one who collaborated with Ragnarok to allow him to escape. We have to show the good folks of Miami that your presence here is warranted by bring in that troublemaker."

Alice frowns in confusion. 'What the hell?' she thinks to herself. 'Jason would NEVER!' she shakes her head as she thinks there has to be some kind of confusion and she had to be 'hearing' that wrong. She then starts to head toward the coffee house, getting back into her car and keeps the image of what she currently looks like just to be on the safe side. As she heads to the coffee house, she starts mentally rehearsing what to ask Jason, so it doesn't sound completely accusatory. 'It's bloody ridiculous' she scoffs. 'It can't be true.'

45 minutes pass, no Jason.
An hour.
Nearly an hour late, Jason slips in looking run ragged and limping a bit. He slid into the booth acrossed from alice, and smirked," So I hope you didn't order for me."

Alice, having found a quiet place to change back to her regular appearance, looks worried at Jason's appearance as he slips into the coffee shop. "no, I just got myself a tea." Alice gestures to the now empty cup, as she asks "Are you ok? What happened? you're over an hour late, I was getting scared."

" Took a little longer to ditch them." Jason replied, sidestepping answering if he's okay. " whoever those guys are, they're good. Don't worry. I lost them for now, but they won't give up easily. Looks like I won't be flying anywheres after all."

Alice doesn't let him ditch the question as she asks again in a concerned tone of voice, "Are you hurt?" It's clear she isn't going to drop the issue until he is honest with her.

" Allie, if the day ever comes I'm not hurting, then I'll start worrying." Jason smirked, " I'll live okay? I'll get Ty or one of the others to fix me up."

Alice looks tired as she says "Fine. We should head over to Ty's now then so he can patch you up. There's things I need to talk to you about, but we shouldn't talk about it in public. There's a couple of odd things that happened after you left." Standing up, she asks "Do you want a coffee or something?"
