Morning came and Blue Jay’s dreams were interrupted as he he started to hear the commotion of multiple people talking.
“How much did she steal?” “I never even saw her coming until it was too late.” “I really hope we don’t lose our jobs.” “Looks like she was even too tough for Blue Jay.” “I can’t believe we’re this close to a superhero! My kids aren’t gonna believe this! I gotta take a picture of him!”
The previous night instantly flooded back into Blue Jay’s memory, and he sat straight up, immediately seeing that he was still in the museum. All the guards were already awake and were now staring at him. Angry and embarrassed, he spared no time to talk to them and flew out the window, pulling a device from his belt that would lead him to wherever the tracker was.

Ella aka Mirage wakes up in the morning. She would have liked to stay but figured best to get morning routine done and get back home. She has a quick shower and gathers a few easy eats from gift shop before returning the key to her room at the front desk. The clerk then called a cab for her and she tells the driver to take her to an address. The driver takes her to the street that she lived on and Ella taps his shoulder telling him that he doesn't need to think out this ever again.
She climbs out of the cab while the driver shook his head as if to clear it. He then made a side comment about maybe getting a cup of coffee before picking up another customer. Ella heads to her house. It was not so large just a two story home. No point in getting such a big one if she lived alone.

An hour after Ella had arrived home, a certain young superhero was in the air directly above her house. Blue Jay looked at his tracker screen in disbelief, thinking that it had to be malfunctioning. This was just a normal, quint little home, not some evil lair! But it had never been wrong before...
With a sigh, he quickly descended into the back yard, landing on his feet. If this really was where the burglar was hiding, he couldn’t just take the direct approach by knocking on her front door. He would have to take an approach that honestly made him feel like a creep doing. Specifically, he slid open one of the windows and climbed through it.

Ella had already put the gems away to be dealt with at a later time. She then changes her clothes to fresh ones, choosing a nice sun dress. She then heads downstairs to start making a proper meal.

Hearing someone come down the stairs, Blue Jay prepared himself to either face the burglar again, or deal with the shrieking of some poor innocent home owner at the shock of someone breaking into their home, super hero or not. When she came into view, he instantly recognized her, and didn’t know whether or not he should have been relieved.

Yet he got the later of his thoughts. Ella did recognize him but she played it cool. She screamed like she was shocked and even ran up the stairs. Playin the role of a woman finding a strange man in her house and was trying to flee. She bad it to her bedroom and locked the door then made it sound like she was fumbling to unlock the window so she could escape.

Blue Jay sighed angrily and rolled his eyes as he walked up the stairs, as he knew fully well that this was indeed her and she knew exactly why he was here. He only hoped that her screaming hadn’t alerted the neighbors.
Even though he was confronting a criminal, this situation did make him feel dirty, like he was committing a crime himself.
“I bet none of the other heroes gotta do stuff like this.” he grumbled as he reached her bedroom door and tried the handle.

"No stay away," she cried out in her fake fright. While not loosing her acting she did wonder how was it the hero managed to find her so quickly? Its like he tracked her with a blood hound. Well she'll just have to play this right. Use her tricks the right away and she'll have him forget everything. May even have to use her special trick.

“I already know it’s you.” Blue Jay said with clear exasperation, remaining on guard for the possibility of her resorting to that diamond trick again. “I’m still giving you another chance to return the diamonds. Or maybe you’d like to call the police and we can both have a chat with them?”

"What are you talking about? But I will call the police if you don't leave my house." 'Sorry hero, but I'm letting someone get the better of me again.' She thought the last part to herself

Blue Jay was quickly growing impatient. She wasn’t fooling him one little bit and at this point he didn’t know why he should wait even one more second after she had proven how crafty she could be.
Taking a few steps back, he put his combat skills to use and with a single kick knocked in the door.

Elle or Mirage knew to use her tricks would be harder here as his mood was tense and one guard. To throw him off she will have to use a new hand he hasn't seen, which means using...that. It was her most powerful trick ever, yet it has a side effect. A semi downside. Ella gets down on the ground like she was trying to hide in a corner. 'Just need him to come closer. He'll be too busy searching for one way he'll never suspect it'

Her obvious acting certainly wasn’t helping him to feel less guilty with this method of confronting her, but he was going to bring her in, no matter what it took to do so. He walked toward her, eyeing her hands to try and make sure she wasn’t holding any diamonds. He cautiously reached out his hand and grabbed her shoulder.

Quick like a cobra strike, Ella grabbed his head and pulled him close and kissed him on the lips. This would throw him, as would he really be expecting that to happen? At the same moment with them up close, her eyes that were a light blue shimmered. It was like they themselves gave off a glint like a gemstone.

Blue Jay yelped in surprise when she grabbed and kissed him, much to surprised by this turn of events to even react. Even though he didn’t kiss back, his lips would have no dealt felt very soft, smooth, and warm to Ella. His dark blue eyes just stayed wide open in surprise, completely vulnerable to the moment her irises shimmered, which caused a wave of dizziness to wash over him as he suddenly felt significantly weaker than he was mere moments earlier.
