Artemis looked around the bank. It didn't look all that different than any other one, really. Not that she would know much about banks. Artemis didn't spend much time in them, seeing as how she wasn't exactly rolling in cash herself. The Guild of Heroes had its own financial institution which looked after all of its members needs, and one day, hopefully soon, Artemis would join their ranks.
She hadn't come to this particular bank for her own finances, she was here for work. The Third Centennial Bank was robbed just earlier that day. It was the third bank in the past two weeks that had been robbed in the city, and so far the authorities hadn't been able to figure anything out. A mundane bank robbery, even a string of them, wasn't something the Guild normally bothered itself with.
Artemis figured this was a nice, easy way to get back into the swing of things. And if she did manage to catch the culprits, she'd be much closer to joining the Guild herself. She could do this, she knew she could.
She was in the side offices of the bank, currently. She had already looked around the bank itself, but hadn't seen anything she thought was important. To be honest, this investigative work wasn't really her thing. She was more of an attack first kind of girl. But beggars couldn't be choosers, and this was about the only thing going on in the city at the moment.
Still, she was here, and she was going to do her best to solve these crimes. She was currently waiting for a copy of the security tapes so she could see the robbery go down. Luckily for her, Sergeant Fullurd had stuck up and vouched for her. She had helped him out a few times in the past taking down some thugs, and he was the kind of guy who didn't forget a favor.
Standing around in the sterilized office setting was making Artemis uncomfortable. She was definitely not cut out for the white collared life. She was meant to be out there, in the alleyways and abandoned warehouses taking out criminals and wannabe super villains. There was no way she was ever going to be able to sit at a desk for eight hours a day.
Thankfully she didn't have to wait too long. A very seriously looking brunette in a sharply tailored business suit approached her and handed over a cd in an unmarked plastic case. After confirming that it was indeed the video footage she was looking for, Artemis gratefully accepted the disc and quickly made her way out of the office area and back into the bank proper.
She glanced around one last time, taking in the forensics experts working on whatever sciencey stuff they were up to before finally deciding to leave. She gave a silent nod to the police officer manning the front door and she moved through the revolving glass and back out into the afternoon sun. She quickly made her way back to her apartment, on the 10th floor of the very boring looking apartment building.
Her place wasn't much, and it obviously wasn't fit for a real super hero, but she was still just a beginner, and besides, it was all she could afford. The meager bounties she got for nabbing local miscreants were enough for her to get by, but until she got into the Guild proper, she was going to have to pinch her pennies.
Artemis shut and locked the door to her small one-bedroom apartment. She may have had super powers, but she wasn't about to get sloppy. She pulled a bottle of water out of her fridge (she forced herself to be health conscious) and fired up her computer. While it took a while to boot up, she went into her bedroom and changed out of her superhero outfit. She may have been on a mere investigation run, but a superhero, even just a budding one, had to look professional at all times.
The fact that her idea of "professional" was a tight white top and short red skirt that was reminiscent of Sailor Moon's outfit, said something about her ideals.
Now dressed in some loose sweatpants and an old t-shirt, Artemis sat down at her table in front of her computer, casually opening the top of her water bottle and taking a swig. She put the cd into her computer and watched as the little box on the screen popped up asking if she'd like to play the media on the disc.
She absently clicked "Yes" and waited for it to play. It took a few more moments to load up, and Artemis leaned back in her chair and got comfortable. This sort of investigative work was not her forte, but she was going to give it a go anyway. She honestly didn't have anything better to do with her time.
The video fired up and showed the familiar lobby of the bank she was at earlier. There were seven teller windows with one que lined up for all of them. It was the third window from the left she was looking for. She watched the short Asian teller stationed at that window talk to the various customers that came up to her.
The picture was surprisingly clear. She could easily make out the soft features on the female teller's face and the little dimples that appeared when she regularly smiled at her customers. She seemed a cheerful sort and Artemis couldn't help feeling attracted to her.
Even though the main picture was very clear and obviously in high definition, the outsides of the screen were pixilated and slowly shifting in colors. The colors were soft greens and blues and were very easy on the eyes. Truth be told, it was quite pleasing to look at. It was a bit distracting at first, but Artemis forced her eyes back to the center of the video so she could watch the cute Asian girl working the teller window.
She glanced down at the timer on the video and blinked rapidly at the number she saw. This was obviously the video for the entire day at the bank. She only needed a few minutes of the video to see the entirety of the burglary, but for some reason she was given the whole day's worth of surveillance. She idly thought about skipping ahead to the actual crime, but she wasn't sure exactly where it was and she didn't want to spend the energy skipping around trying to find it.
She grabbed her water bottle and took another large drink from it while shifting further into her chair, getting nice and comfortable. She decided to just watch the entire video to find the crime and it was going to be a long wait. She might as well be comfortable while she watched.
The colors on the edges of the video continued to swirl around and shift pallets. The colors were actually very soft and relaxing. She could feel those soothing colors at the edges of her vision. They were quite comforting, and they helped her sink back into her chair. She could feel all of the tension from the day bleeding out of her muscles as she continued to watch the video.
Artemis watched the video as over an hour passed. Her eyes grew heavy and sleepy as she sat, mindlessly watching the silent video move through the entire work day. Her mouth grew dry as her arms were far too heavy to reach up and grab her bottled water to sip on. Instead, she continued to stare at the cute Asian girl as she went about her day.
The video clarity was so good that Artemis could easily make out the swell of the teller girl's breasts poking out of her light sweater. They weren't especially big by any standard, but she felt her eyes drawn to them regardless. She couldn't help but image what they looked like underneath that yellow sweater. She imagined a bright red lacy bra covering two very pert b-cups, displaying just enough of the skin underneath to make you desperate to see more.
She imagined taking off the sexy red bra to see the gorgeous goods underneath. The light caramel color of the Asian skin contrasted deeply with the dark nipples that stood proud and high on her chest. Those nipples just begged to be sucked on. She could almost hear the cute teller moaning as she sucked on those beautiful breasts. Was she the kind of girl that could get off by just having her breasts played with? She hoped so.
Artemis continued to sink back in her chair, watching the video with half closed eyes, letting her fantasies run wild. The cute teller girl looked absolutely delicious, and there was nothing wrong with a little fantasizing. She watched as customer after customer filed in and took care of their banking with her sweet teller girl. Artemis was getting a little too infatuated with the cute girl, but she didn't want to stop now.
