Dressed to kill, in the metaphoric sense in a short dark blue dress and her red hair up with a few pins she looked like a girl ready to have some fun. <span class="time">-07:22 Apr 26</span></div>

But she didn't seem to have that sexy vibe going with her tshirt and jeans. What she DID have was a messenger bag filled with &quot;tools&quot; strapped over her shoulder. So as they were reaching the doors of the sports bar, she was pulling out a little hand held device and pressing buttons like a feind. &quot;On the bright side, it's human!&quot; <span class="time">-07:26 Apr 26</span></div>

Cori never looked up from her dpad, striding easily through standing bodies towards the back end of the room. &quot;Most of the energy fields are coming from upstairs. Though there seems to be a lot of spikes here on the ground floor.&quot; <span class="time">-07:30 Apr 26</span></div>

I don't want to keep watching her every move like some sort of stalker...&quot; His thumb hovered over the confirm button as he highlighted the Delete Friend button. &quot;...&quot; It was easy to talk a big game, but harder in excusion. <span class="time">-07:31 Apr 26</span></div>

I will totally back you up on this one.&quot; He was little speech less as they already walked pasted them, the one in the blue dress, her arm slightly brushing up against his as she pasted. &quot;...Yeah...

Cori wasn't exactly known for following proper procedures, and now that she was here, she was going to get things done. &quot;I'm going to scare Yates off. You... uh... 'Go to the Bathroom'&quot;.

I mean at least she was merciful enough to pretend to care.&quot; His friend gave him the patiented bro shoulder pat and nodded his head again. &quot;Forget her man, there are plenty of other chicks here for you to talk with anyways...&quot; And they returned to the bar, North till turning around to see what the woman in the blue dress was up to. <span class="time">-08:07 Apr 26</span></div>

She grimaced when he dumped coffee on some poor bimbo. Then she realized he was heading for the stairs. In the middle of the room, Cori hopped up and down to get Tasha's attention and pointed where Yates was headed. Then she was quick to follow him! &quot;Oh Yaaaa-aaaaates!&quot; She chimed behind him, snagging his shirt before his foot hit the first step. <span class="time">-08:08 Apr 26</span></div>

Then the lights went out. &quot;Hmm,&quot; he said in the darkness. <span class="time">-08:11 Apr 26</span></div>

In the cover of the dark she swatted a hand out to pop him on the shoulder. &quot;Ass. You're out of your element, Yates. Head back to Headquarters and I'll take care of it.&quot; Cori didn't give him much room to argue, either. Now that Tasha turned on her earring lights, Cori was whisking around Yates to run up the stairs! <span class="time">-08:14 Apr 26</span></div>

Once the mad scientist types started causing black outs their experiments were just about done. It wasn't the best way to stop some evil activities, but if you got them with their experiment complete, well, you didn't have to worry about any loose ends. That was of course when the rolling thunder started. <span class="time">-08:19 Apr 26</span></div>
