The Magnezone went first, and it was only a matter of moments before the electricity was cut and the lights went black. Though, this was all in Flynn's favor, as he was hiding along a corner when a night-shift bodyguard was about to end a corner. When the lights above them flickered and shut off, they let out a bewildered shout, which was muffled by Flynn's gloved hand. His hand snapped lightly but firmly against a pressure point in the back of his neck, and it was only a matter of seconds before the bodyguard went limp in his arms.

[break][break] Flynn placed him on the ground, gingerly, but out of sight, just as Lulu Flint 's words came in crackling through his earpiece. He pressed his fingers against it to hear better. "Unfortunate," he said back, his voice probably transmitting as a crackle of sound.

[break][break] The Team Rocket grunt pushed himself to his feet and flicked on his flashlight. Blue went ahead of him, clearing a path and making sure that there were no others before turning back to him and wagging her tail to signal him that it was ok to pass. Fortunately, that one guard was the only one - it seemed - in the vicinity, or the rest were on a late dinner or early breakfast break. Or maybe asleep, somewhere. Either way, it made things easier.

[break][break] Like Lulu said, there were no obvious signs for the safe but Flynn had done enough of these heists to know better. Plus, the nose of a dog - or rather, wolf - was always far better than that of a human. He looked down at Blue and grunted, "Smell anything?"

[break][break] Sure enough, she led him to a piece of the wall that looked fairly normal yet ... He grabbed the painting off it's hinge and placed it gingerly on the floor. Jackpot. "Think I found something," he reported through his earpiece, just as her Klefki came into view.

Finally, Flynn thought as he re-surfaced at the cavern's entrance. It seemed like he had been swimming forever, and while Niles had done most of the work and made it speedy, it was still suffering to be underwater for that long. The man pulled himself out of the body of water and onto the sandy beaches, before crouching down and patting his Sharpedo lightly on the head. The Pokemon rumbled, and then happily chomped on the piece of dried fish skin that his trainer lobbed at him.

[break][break] "Thanks," he said, gruffly, returning him. "You can rest now."

[break][break] Pushing himself to his feet, he reached for his pokeball and released Blue. The Mightyena materialized in a matter of moments, and then her jerked his head towards the cavern's entrance. "C'mon."

Uh. Flynn blinked with surprised at the passion in which Lulu responded; he wasn't used to seeing her exhibit such an amount of warmth and affection to any human being on the planet. Honestly, like many Rockets, Flynn had once wondered if she was capable of it.

[break][break] But... it was kind of cute. Not that he was going to tell her that.

[break][break] "It's pretty neat," he admitted, even though these days he rarely complimented anything, and then let it latch onto his clothes. It was only a few moments later, but he let Lulu call the shots. After all, she seemed to already know how things were going to go, so there was hardly a point in trying to fight her about it. He nodded and then hauled himself on top of the Hydreigon.

[break][break] Flynn had never had a pokemon quite as big as the beast - frankly, he much preferred his feet on land - but it wasn't too difficult. In a matter of moments, the descended into another dark alleyway and Flynn watched as she released a Magnezone as he slid off of the dragon and onto to the ground below. For his part, he released Blue from his pokeball and the Mightyena was instantly on high alert, recognizing the feeling in the air for what it was.

[break][break] Work.

[break][break] The Team Rocket grunt nodded as she relayed the instructions to him, grabbing the flashlight from her grip. Blue may not have been any of the fun gadgets that Lulu had, but her senses were sharper than any human he'd ever known and the two of them were familiar with each other. If Lulu was going to act behind the scenes from the outside, then he needed someone on the inside to watch his back.

[break][break] "I'll find the safe," he told her, since that seemed to be the only thing left in their agenda. With any luck, their mission would be a quick and clean one - no causalities. Or so Flynn hoped.

Understandably, she was freaked out. Honestly, if it were him, he'd be freaked out too.

[break][break] After all, he had just come basically out of nowhere and like a stalker, had scaled her balcony and now just appeared. After months - probably years - of not talking, and then all of a sudden, he was here again. So, honestly, he understood where she was coming from.

[break][break] But they didn't have time to be freaked out. He was here for a reason after all.

[break][break] "Well?" He folded his arms. "You gonna let me in?" She was still standing in the doorway, after all.

tldr; thea and flynn's reunion is not at all what either of them expected it to be. perhaps it would've been better to never happen in the first place.  

Unsurprisingly, she doesn't like his idea and she tells him as much.

[break][break] It doesn't come as much of a shock to Flynn, who already knew who would be pulling the strings from the moment that Lulu Flint landed on the rooftop. Her reputation precedes her, and sure enough, she is pulling out gadgets and gizmos that Flynn has seen more than enough times before. It reminds him all too much of the first time that he had to get his cop gear all set up, too many things to keep track of, too many things to remember.

[break][break] He doesn't fight her on it, though.

[break][break] Instead, Flynn puts on the ear piece and puts the thermal imaging camera into his pocket, to be used for later. His interest, however, is piqued when she offers her palm to him and an ant-like device is staring up at him with beady eyes. Fingers close around the small object, and he watches it - impressed - as it attaches itself to the fabric of his jacket. "You make this?"

[break][break] As she pulls out a Klefki and makes a comment, Flynn's tone is wry with his response. "Duly note." He glances back towards the smokestack buildings, and then says, "So, you wanna take my bike, or you have a different way you wanna travel?"
