“Does she always move this fast?” thought Olivia Tannen as she watched through infrared goggles. Dr. Meredith Stinson, aka Tachyon, was a bright white blur in Olivia’s goggles, zipping back and forth from instrument to instrument. After a few minutes, Tachyon stopped at the door and waited for it to slowly slide upwards. As the door reached its maximum, the white blur zipped out. The door closed and the lights went out.
“Perfect,” whispered Olivia as she removed the ventilation grate and descended into the lab. Her years working as the Fence’s top thief served her well, as she quickly and nimbly dodged security cameras and trip lasers. Swiftly, she placed her digital code cracker on the interface of her target container. After a quick succession of beeps, the case opened with a hiss and white smoke billowed out, revealing the prize.
“It actually exists,” said Olivia as she pulled a belt, chest plate, an arm computer and a bundle of cables and tubes out of the box, “the Chronosuit.” Olivia couldn’t believe that Eaken-Rubendall Laboratories actually finished a prototype…after all, time travel was just some kooky idea that…
Suddenly, Olivia’s phone rang. It was the Fence. She reluctantly took the call.
“What do you want?”
“Hey, whoa there, did I catch you at a bad time?”
“I’m pulling off the job now, Fence…”
“So you have the suit in hand?”
“Yes”
“Good. Now there’s no way they can’t pin this on you” *click*
“Wha-“ A klaxon in the lab began to blare. Suddenly, it dawned on her, this wasn’t a job to get back in the Organization’s good graces, it was to get her out. Olivia hadn’t been the most loyal when it came to taking the fall for the Organization. Nor had she been honest with how much she got on each job. Her ambitions had finally caught up with her. The door to the lab began to rise.
Thinking quickly rather than clearly, Olivia saw only one way out. Haphazardly wrapping the cables around herself, she spun every dial and flipped every switch on the arm piece. The chest plate hummed to life and the cables began to glow a soft yellow.
“Hope this works!” she yelled as she slammed the large red button on the arm piece. She disappeared in a flash of yellow light just as Tachyon slid in…
Seconds later, a flash of light blinded the Fence as he left the phone booth. There stood Olivia, donning a silver body suit, and armored plating. What was once a twisted bundle of cables now elegantly wrapped around her limbs and glowed a warm green. While the Fence was still frozen in disbelief, Olivia calmly walked up to him and grabbed him by the throat.
“Thank you for giving me that fall job all those years ago, Fence,” she whispered. “Without you, I would still think money was the greatest thing to steal. I was so naïve back then.” She tightened her grip. “But now I know… it’s history. And it looks like yours is just that.” The Fence tried to scream as he began to fade away into non-existence. “Your grandfather was such a nice kid too…”
Description:
The source of Heist’s power is the Chronosuit. In addition to the ability to time travel, the Chronosuit allows Heist to slow, stop, and speed up spacetime. While she has gathered weapons and henchmen from throughout history, her most devastating attack is her ability to go back in time and disrupt critical events in the heroes’ lives. Luckily, Tachyon has equipped the heroes with time-stabilization belts based on the Chronosuit prototype that can resist its effects. The idea behind this villain is that the heroes have to chase Heist through time to repair her disruptions. Unfortunately, she usually has some nasty surprise waiting for the heroes .
