anarchist_queen"Orient," Tick Tick said warningly, "What are you doing?"
She was still recovering her strength, but a walk from her place to his had felt like the thing to do. She was after all, keeping an eye on him for Momoko. Not that she was certain just what Momoko could do if Orient got into trouble again. Leda had assured her she could help, which was good enough for the Ticker.
She had arrived just in time to see Hawthorn, one of the higher ups in the Silver Suits exit the apartment. And she had seen the look on her friend's face. It was a look she recognized.
"You are not going after him." she said flatly.
"I just need to be sure." he said absently, heading for the stairs.
"Sure of what? Orient what's going on?" The Silver Suits had found the lab that was making the drug. They were on to one of their own that was working with the villains, but they still did not know ultimately who was behind it.
"It would take too long to explain. I have to leave now if I'm gonna-"
"I'm coming with you." she insisted, but at that moment her legs gave a complaint and she had to lean against the wall. Still not at 100 percent.
"No you need to rest." he said, getting on the motorcycle. Then he swore and got off. He checked to make sure nothing had been added to the vehicle. "See? I'm not falling for the old bomb on the bike trick."
"No you're running off after the bad guy alone." Tick Tick muttered as he took off.
She promised free repairs for a month to one of Orient's downstairs neighbors who owned a bike, and they took her to the border. It was closer than the World. There she made use of the alert system she and Leda had worked out. This close to the border, communication was very reliable. The scrying mirror got through to her friend, who then got in touch with Momoko.
[For Blossom!]

"Good." Sunny said. She knocked on the door, then tried the knob. Unlocked. She didn't know if that was a good or bad sign, but they had to confront the bitch inside, so she went and opened it.
"Secretary? We need to talk."

The woman didn't actually sneer, but her tone of voice made it clear that's what she was doing inside. "Whatever I say they will be nice. My house will see to it. Just as it will see to breaking you for your presumption."
