Alexa moved with him trying to get as far away from the building before she was completely drained. She was a skilled Theif, yes, but even she had her limits. Especially considering how much she had to make unseen. She managed to make it to the end of the next block before she had to let the invisibility up out of breath.
When they faded into view, there was no one that looked twice at them. Apparently people appearing random places was normal, then. Then again, this was New York. Weird things happened here all the time.
Alexa looked to Arsen, "Can, can we stop for a moment? I need to catch my breath."
"Of course." Arsen let her stop, and they rested in front of a tall building. He glanced at the sign over the door. It was a simple clothing store. He looked at her, eyebrows raised in a question.
Alexa saw the sign as she leaned against the building in question. She gave him a short nod as she ran a hand through her hair trying not to appear as winded as she really was, "Yeah, good idea."
"Do you want to go in now, or later, once you've caught your breath?" He asked, slightly concerned. She was acting, he knew, pretending that she was doing better than she really was.
"Now is fine," Alexa pushed herself off the wall before falling back on it. She couldn't find the energy to stay standing upright, "Or later. Later works fine."
Arsen caught her quickly, helping her support her weight. "How did you manage to run for so long if this is what it did to you?"
"Because I only get hit with the effects when I become visible," Alexa responded trying to move so Arsen didn't have to hold her up, "And I haven't pushed my limits in a while."
"How many people have you managed to turn invisible?" He asked, motioning to the store, indicating that they should go in.
"Three or four if I remember right," Alexa responded moving towards the entrance with some difficulty. Though she refused to show she was having any, "I kept the cover up for about 10 minutes before I had to drop it and promptly pass out."
"I'm sure that was very helpful for the people you were hiding," he said, a faint smiling tugging at his lips. There was something wrong with her, he was pretty sure, but he was unwilling to ask. He held the door open for her.
"It was in practice, so no harm no foul," Alexa responded stepping in. She had controlled her breathing and kept herself together. Sure, she was exhausted, but she was nowhere close to passing out. Just pushing herself more than needed.
"Did they know you made them invisible?" Arsen asked, not helping her, although the gentleman in him, no matter how small, screamed at him to do so. "Because if they didn't, that would be great."
"Sadly they did," Alexa responded with a forced smile stopping to 'casually' lean on the wall, "Would have been funny otherwise."
"Well, you should try, when we get back, to turn someone invisible without their knowledge." He had been walking, but when he no longer sensed her behind him, he turned, to see her leaning against the wall. He frowned slightly. "Do you want to sit down?''
"I, no I'm fine," Alexa pushed herself off the wall and walked up to him. She was exhausted and sitting sounded amazing, but she was going to keep walking with him, "I'll sit down when we know we're out of danger got it?"
"We are, for the moment," he said, gesturing around the clothing store. "Do you want to pick out some different clothes by yourself, or do you want me to come?"
"I can do it myself," Alexa responded, "Don't want to drag you through the women's section."
"I don't particularly want to see a bunch of bras, either," he responded. "How will we reach each other if we're in trouble?"
Alexa paused for a moment before sighing, "Fine you can come with me. It'll be easier since we should probably keep our phones off for the time being."
"Probably," he agreed. "But do we really want to stay together?" He shrugged. "I guess I could close my eyes and follow you blindly."
"It's probably the smartest thing to do," Alexa responded shrugging, "Besides you do know most stores have a completely different section for women's underwear right?"
"They do?" Arsen made a face. "Why? That's dumb. Can't they just put all of the clothes in one space and leave it like that? They don't have to make it so painfully complicated."
"It's because we're women," Alexa responded with a sigh, "They have to separate it out so the little girl clothes don't get mixed in with lingerie. Trust me, I think it's stupid too."
