Naida was up at the same time as Nathan, but she spent a whole lot more time in the bathroom getting ready. She had to make sure that her hair was just the right way, and in the proper style. Spending hours in front of the mirror applying makeup and picking out her clothes. Even though picking out her clothes was pointless because everyone at Hydra corp always wore black and white...
She heard Nathan call her and she rolled her eyes. She got her own brief case and headed out her room. "Well, good morning to you too, mister grumpy pants. Hydra isn't going to miss us if we're a few minutes late for work." Even though they had argued the night before, the event was pretty much forgotten. they had conversations like that nearly on a daily basis, and the two had learned to just move on if they ended in a stalemate. Which in most cases their arguments were never resolved. "We better hurry if we want to catch a good taxi before they all leave. Lets go..." She headed out the door and down the hall. She pressed the button on the elevator and waited for Nathan to get on.
At the bottom floor she stepped outside to see a line of taxis loitering around the building. The drivers learned that not everyone had a car, and that if they just waited outside of the apartments someone would pay them for a ride. She lifted her hand to hail a taxi and got in, scooting over for Nathan to join her.
((This is continued in the streets of the suburbs.))

The cost came out to be $8 dollars to get to the apartments. Now she was starting to feel very tired. She closed the door and rubbed her hands together as she walked into the building. They kind of hurt. This time she didn't take the stairs, even if a creepy man was standing by she would just suck it up and ride with him. Luckily there was only an elderly man standing on the elevator... Naida gave him a polite smile and quickly looked away. They both rode up in silence. As she got to her floor she stepped off and headed to her room, the old man however apparently lived up near the top floor...
She unlocked the door and stepped in, it was dark, so that meant Nathan was still out. She walked over to the couch and collapsed. She took her suit jacket off and tossed it on the floor, unbuttoning a few buttons on her white blouse. She was breathing a bit hard and sweating. She no longer felt like she had to throw up blood, just tired and extremely exhausted. And... hungry... She was starving actually. But she had just eaten.
She groaned but didn't bother getting off the couch. She felt like she would pass out if she tried to. Yeah, you are definitely getting a check up...

((Editing my money for food and taxi ride.))
Nathan didn't thank the driver when he arrived, he just paid the man and got out the car. He took his suit jacket off and slung it over his right shoulder. He walked through the main door and up to the elevator. It was late so no one was around. He road up in silence, staring as the numbers counted up. He started grinding his teeth together as he waited. A habit he had picked up when he was getting angry or annoyed.
The belled dinged and the doors opened. He stepped off and walked down the hall. Naida should have been home by this time so he didn't get the key ready. He tested the nob, it turned, and he opened the door.
((Observation check: 44= Fail.)) The light was on, the TV was off. He frowned as he stepped in. "Naida?" He walked in a bit further and saw Naida laying on the couch. Her jacket laying on the floor. She had a habit of being a bit messy, like leaving half eaten fruit on the kitchen counter. She looked to be asleep so he left her alone. He didn't notice that she was sweating more then normal, or that she was breathing as if she couldn't properly take in air. He just thought she was napping.
He thought it best not to bother her and turned the light off. He carefully walked through the dark and to his bedroom. He showered, dressed for bed, and decided to get some rest before heading in for work in the morning. He didn't have to attend the press conference, but he wanted to see what Rycroft was unveiling...
It didn't take him long to fall asleep.
((Naida and Nathan are now resting for the day.))

"Hmmm..." Naida woke up feeling a bit groggy, but other then that she was feeling much better. Grrrrrrrr..... She was starving. But she didn't think it was wise to eat anything after last nights little episode. She would have thought it was food poisoning if it weren't for the blood she coughed up. She took out her cellphone. The first thing she did was call Hydra corp. "Hey, Jeannette. This is my new phone. If Aileana arrives before me have her go to the Armory and get all of her gear. I'm going to head to the labs for a check up first, then if they let me I'll meet up with her later..." They went over the details of what Aileana would need for their current mission, and then she hung up the phone. Next step, get a ride.
She called a taxi and had one wait for her by the entrance. She went to her room and took a quick shower, putting on a fresh change of clothes and getting ready for work. She went to the mirror to make sure her hair wasn't too messed up and then walked out the room and took the elevator down to the first floor. The taxi was waiting for her and got in. "I need to go to Hydra. Make it fast."
((-$22 for taxi ride.))

((Getting everyone into position for this event is a pain. ))
Nathan woke up a bit later in the day. There wasn't a need to go to work because of the event Rycroft was holding, there was nothing for him to analyze. He was just going to see what Rycroft had to say. He walked to go see if Naida was in her room, it was empty. He checked the couch, she wasn't there either. But a cell phone was laying there in her place. He picked it up to see that it was already activated with a small text message saying "Hi Nate!" He scowled and called a taxi. He proceeded to shower and dress, and then walked out of their apartment and down to the main lobby. The cab driver was waiting for him and he got in.
"Hydra corp, ASAP." He handed the man his ID to pay for the ride, and sat back as they sped off.

((Location: Left D19, went to H2. Subtracting $25))
Nathan unlocked the door to his apartment and looked around. The locked door meant that Naida wasn't home. The room was dark and quiet. It felt lonely and empty. He let off a sigh and stepped into the room, flipping the light switch on that was mounted on the wall to illuminate the apartment. He had spent the entire day showing some lost operative around the Hydra HQ, only for them to end back up at the main hallway. The guy didn't even know where they were... It was a grand tour that wasn't even all that grand. They never even ran into Naida. He had wasted his day off doing absolutely nothing. He shook his head and tossed his keys on to the kitchen island that separated the dining area from the living room. He picked up the television remote and turned on the news.
He loosened his tie as he listened to the reporter, Bianca Saint-John, talk about a recent robbery that took place earlier in the day on Gabriel's crossing, and then an announcement about what Hydra corp. planned to do about it. The latter got his attention. He watched the blurred aerial footage that played on the screen of the shootout that took place. He watched all of the events unfold, the officer get shot, and the sensitive take the duffle bag and shoot off into the sky. The first thing that came to mind was "Where were the other guards?" Hydra corp. caravans normally consisted of two armored trucks, a lead decoy truck, and then the main supply truck. The two trucks were then followed by a police escort. He wondered if Naida knew more about it. He took his cellphone out of his pocket and sent Naida a text message asking her what happened on the bridge and if she knew more about it. The exact message read:
-'Know about Gabe's X-ing? Let me know when U get this'.
He flipped the phone closed and headed to his bedroom to get ready to grab some rest. Naida was no doubt working and would probably stay out a bit later. Either that, or she went to go party at club Exxel. He changed clothes and climbed into bed, setting his cellphone down on the nightstand in case Naida called him back...
((Nathan is now sleep in his room))

Naida had finished her sandwich within seconds of entering the vehicle. She sat slouched in the back seat of the cab staring out the window at the night sky. A hint of orange peeking up in the far distance as the sun began to rise and the night slowly began to fade. She was exhausted. A lot of running around the city led to her getting no where fast. She still had no leads on the case, but at least she had an idea of the mysterious Sensitive's powers.
Oh, and there was also that one vial located in club Exxel, she would check that out tomorrow night. The taxi brought her to the apartment building and she said her thanks as she exited the cab. She walked around to the side entrance and took the stairs up to her floor. The door was unlocked, which meant Nathan was home. As she walked into the apartment though, she saw that it was completely dark and silent. Nathan was already asleep. She entered her bedroom and shut the door, undressing for bed. She didn't bother showering. It was already too late at night and the only thing she could think about was getting a good nights sleep. So that was exactly what she did.
Naida woke up a lot earlier than she had expected, especially since she didn't get home until late the night before. She started the day with a small yoga session. She would normally do her exercises outside on their balcony, but today was cold and snowing so she did it in her room instead. After stretching and meditating for about an hour, she then went into her more intense work out session for the next hour or so.
She started with slow sit-ups, leaning all the way forward to attempt to touch her knees with her elbows and then holding the position before dropping back to the floor. Naida had been drafted as an Operative at a young age, learning how to manage her powers and training for long periods of time to get in shape. So by now, doing 100 sit-ups was a breeze for her. After that she switched to do about 100 push ups. She then finished her training with more stretching.
She had a dart board hanging on her closet door. She didn't use it for playing darts though. She stood to her feet and took up a ready stance. ((Target practice shot one: 24. Shot two: 57))
She aimed her right hand index finger at the dart board, her thumb straight up to mimic a gun. She steadied her wrist with her left hand and squinted one eye. She charged up a bit of static in her hand; a small blue ball popped and sizzled on the tip of her finger as she built up power. "Bang bang!"
Two small orbs shot off and flew towards the target. The first one hit one of the lower rings of the board, the second one missed and burned a small hole through the closet door before quickly fading away. "Dang... Close enough." The door had small black marks scattered all over it from the years of power practice. She shrugged a shoulder and left the door as is and went to take a quick shower in the bathroom. She put on her jogging clothes and went to snooze for a few hours on the couch. After she got her energy back she would go out in the cold for a jog...

((Taveled from J12 to H2. -$12. -1 meal from food bundle.))
Naida paid the taxi and quickly went through the side entrance to the apartment building. She jogged up the stairs to her floor and went into her room. The warmth of their apartment was comforting. She wanted to stay inside and sleep all day, but she had work to do. She promised Rycroft she would have some major evidence for him by the end of the week. She showered for the second time that day and put on a fresh pair of clothes. Some basic dark jeans, a hoody, and her military jacket. She would pick up some gloves at the store to keep her hands warm.
Naida made her way to the kitchen to eat. She was no cook, so instead she made a quick lunch meat sandwich and grabbed some bottled water from the fridge. It wasn't enough to fill her stomach, but it would hold her over until dinner. "Alright, lets go find some Aces."
She left her apartment and jogged back down the stairs to the main floor of the building and called for another taxi. The first one ignored her and kept driving, but she was able to grab the attention of the second driver. She climbed into the car to get out of the cold and pulled her jacket tighter around herself. "I need to go to the slums. Drop me off at the shopping center please..."
Naida flew through the sky and headed north to the Soaring heights apartment complex. Well, if you want to call it flying. It was a very difficult act of juggling her powers around to simulate flight. After launching herself in the air she would hover and glide for awhile with her arms out on her sides, much like a person would do when parachuting. After dropping too low to the ground she would then shoot off another blast of energy with both hands to launch herself higher in the air again, which normally would knock her off course and head in the wrong direction. A couple of single handed shots from one hand would rotate her either right or left to adjust her course of flight and allow her to navigate with a bit more ease. She didn't always have to shoot her powers off from her hands, but it was the easiest way to focus her powers. Wild blasts that went in every direction often times got messy and led to her using more power than necessary. Her way of flight took a lot out of her though. She landed on the balcony with a clumsy thud and all but crashed into the glass sliding door.
She was able to catch her self and only lightly bumped her head instead of going through the glass. She opened the door and headed to her bedroom. She dropped her bag on the ground and took a quick shower, then it was off to bed to get some rest. She really needed to change her sleeping habits. She was practically staying up for 24 hours now. She all but collapsed on her bed as she closed her eyes to sleep.
