Sunset was whistling as she made her way down the street. A simple little tune she remembered from Equestria. Things had been going alright so far. She'd been collecting funds and collecting information. She knew one thing pretty quickly from her time here. There were powerful risks here. They didn't show up for her but she knew it would be bad to agitate them. This world was filled with superpowered people. Heroes and villains Her magic wasn’t too out of place.

Too bad being a hero didn’t pay the bills.

Those risks were why she kept her crimes small. Gas station robberies and the like. As easy as a bank robbery would be with her abilities, it would also put her on the map with things that she really didn’t want to deal with and definitely not fight.

She was still whistling to herself as she slid into a nearby empty alleyway. Clothes were one of the few things she spent her money on that wasn’t food and shelter. An all black outfit that could be quickly adjusted to hide as much skin as possible. A smooth half red, half yellow featureless mask that wrapped around her face to hide even her ears and white gloves. The gloves were a bit of a custom job. With what looked like burn marks on the tips of the fingers. Being hard to identify was all well and good but she had to look good in some ways.

The mask was a truly special piece of work. She put a lot of work into it. From the outside it was just a simple piece of flat, unassuming metal. But if she poured magic into it, the enchantments she put into it would go into effect until she ended them. It was enchanted to have increased durability, be see-through from the inside, change it's outer look and not fall off.

The most important thing about the mask was that the enchantment wouldn't work for anyone else. Once it connected to her magic it activated. It would simply fall off anyone else's face. Not that anyone else would slap a piece of metal to their face anyway

A small enchantment and hairband pulled her now black hair behind her head. It was time to make some money at another gas station. She could never believe how lucky she was to have full access to her magic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Things were supposed to go smoother than this!

"How was I supposed to know?!" Sunset shouted, voice augmented by a simple tool. She didn't have to put everything into the mask after all.

"You had to! Why else would you attack some shitty gas station?!"

Sunset dodged another round of bullets "Because, it's a robbery? Because I wanted money? " she shouted back.

This was bad. This was going to attract attention. How was she supposed to know that it was run by the mob? A freakin' gas station?

A different mob member started shouting, his accent was heavy. "Likely story! You freaks wit cha powers ALWAYS tryin ta bite off more than ya can chew!"

She had already set off the sprinkler system. She was drenched, annoyed and irritable. She had dozens of ways she could deal with these bozos but she didn't want to risk it. A one trick pony (ironic expression, given the situation) was less threatening to the big wigs.

She took a chance and glanced around, only for more bullets to streak around her. The red light of the cameras watching her were a pain in the ass. Those cameras were still on while drenched? Seriously?

Sunset was getting really sick of this. There were bullets, she was soaked and worst of all, the money was a mess. She'd have to wait hours for it to dry if she didn’t want to waste her magic on it. She probably would anyway. No one wants a moldy duffle bag. "Dammit..." She groaned "Can't believe I have to deal with this shit."

But then the bullets stopped.

"Come on out, freak! We won't do much to ya. Just fill ya fulla lead!"

She rolled her eyes. These guys were certainly confident. Though that made sense. They ran out spraying bullets. Heck. She was pretty sure the cashier was dead. Though, given this place he probably worked for them. "I think I'd prefer not to! Thanks though!" She was getting really fed up. Luckily she hadn't been just sitting here. She grinned as she felt her clothes dry.

She took a deep breath and popped out, just quick enough to send her spell out. It wasn't much at its core. She just used the water and her magic heat to create humidity.

Usually it was just a figure of speech when you got slapped by humidity but this time they ACTUALLY got slapped by the air. Giving her just enough time to melt the window and rush out. She could just hear their curses behind her.

As she landed on the other side of the glass, she looked side to side and saw a someone in a cloak. Probably a woman from the silhouette She was giving Sunset a weird feeling. It was like... well she didn't really have something to compare it to. All she knew is, there were guns behind her and a weird girl was to her left. With a wall in front of her there was only one way to go.

She turned to the right and ran.

She heard soft footsteps rushing behind her. It seemed that the weird girl was more interested in her than the gas station. Though Sunset was pretty sure she wouldn’t be too eager to run back into a building full of bullets either.

“Stop!”

The girl shouted and Sunset shouted back “Not interested!”

A shiver ran through her spine as she felt magic flow in the air. That magic did not feel good. It gave her a bigger reason to get away from this random weirdo. When she looked back, the girl seemed to be flying.

“Nope!” She grumbled before jumping into a just big enough entryway as she activated her magic. She didn’t like using teleportation. It used too much magic and left her a little useless afterwards. But as she looked at her “home” she sighed and pulled herself over to the couch. “Ugh… today was a mess.” She grumbled as she took off her mask, tossing it onto the couch as it turned back into a slab of metal.

“At least I got some cash out of this mess.” She grumbled as she opened the duffle bag.

As she looked inside she felt her eye twitch. The money was runny. The ink itself was coming off of it. It was counterfeit ”DAMN IT!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in the now empty alleyway the one who’d been chasing Sunset sighed and landed back onto the ground “Raven to Titans. They got away.”

Her earpiece was silent for a moment before it came to life “Understood. Come on back after catching up with the police.”

Raven sighed in annoyance as she looked towards the doorway the one she’d been chasing had jumped into. She narrowed her eyes and turned away.

Author's Notes:

This was just an idea that I had in my head. Not 100% if I'm gonna continue but I kinda do want to.

Not 100% on the title either. If you have a better one, lemme know!
