Even when she did heard the slight sound of the entrance door to the shared apartment being unlocked and opened, the platinum blonde girl quickly knew that it was her roommate who had just returned. In previous times, she would had went out of her bedroom to greet her closest friend with a huge smile and sometimes a hug to then proceed to ask with simple questions on her day and such. For now though, Alexis Harper (http://data.whicdn.com/images/25344116/538461_390445354306890_347944068557019_1477945_1689973804_n_large.jpg) had only one thing in her mind.<em>Her finals.</em><br/><br/>The dreaded final examination for all students, and even dreaded by the young blonde girl, despite her high intelligence. She usually passed them with flying colours and obtain exceptional results, but nevertheless, that did not stop the young woman to revise and study her notes. But at least, she responded to Lana with a shout through the bedroom door of hers, "Welcome back, Lana! Hope classes were good?" She didn't really expect a response from her friend as she knew that even the other woman would have to submerge herself with studying as well for her own finals.<br/><br/>Really, if it weren't for the finals, Alexis would be out there, on the streets and doing heroics deeds by now. Just like Lana, even Alexis made the drastic decision to take an alter-ego; a vigilante and a heroine known as Cyshield (http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii28/ambrosia_kisses/Sets/887016.jpg). Unlike her best friend and fighting partner who has such skills in martial arts, Alexis depended more on her high intelligence and her fascination with technology to invent an armored suit with some gadgets and some slightly advanced gizmos built within it.<br/><br/>But then again, just like Lana; Alexis' appearance was so wide apart from her alter-ego. Anybody who knew her, except Lana, would had never guess she would be Cyshield or a vigilante to be in fact. Still, people would had likely known on how she was into superhero comics and manga along with anime with a number of posters plastered to her walls, along with one long shelf of comics and mangas arranged all neatly and in order. Perhaps that was her inspiration and the source of her ambition to become a vigilante in the first place.<br/><br/>Still, Alexis could not help but feel rather proud of herself as she glanced to some newspaper clippings which she pinned on a board at one wall of her room. Most of them just showing pictures of her in her vigilante costume along with Lana as Buster, but at least, Alexis believed that they looked incredibly cool in those pictures nevertheless. Her attention was diverted as she heard noises from the door of her bedroom, and irritation seeped within her as she finally stood from her chair and headed out of her room. The young girl knew that it would not be her closest friend, so it had to be one of the neighboring rooms.<br/><br/>Just only after she left, she heard Lana's shout and she replied, understanding her feeling and felt mutual on the annoyance, "Yeah, I can hear it. Willing to bet it's Mr. Keegan again?" A sigh escaped from her as she went over to the sofa and leaned against it. As if on cue, their apartment phone rang and Alexis sighed once again, knowing what the call would be about even before picking the receiver. "Yes, Alexis Harper speaking? Ohhh, yes, I definitely can hear the noises. No kidding it's from Mr. Keegan's place. Ohhh, how convenient that he left his TV on before he left.. Okay, I'll go and try to deal with it." Putting the receiver back in its original place, she glanced over to Lana.<br/><br/>"... That was Mrs. Hale.. Said our neighbors are complaining, so.. we better switch the TV off. I'm not one to break into somebody's home, but.. in this case, we don't have a choice." It was only then Alexis recognized the sounds, as sounds of loud moans suddenly emitted with some obscenities blasting and a flush touched the blonde girl's cheeks. "..... Yeah, we definitely need to switch that TV off." She was not even hesitating as she then rushed back to her room to collect an odd-looking gadget and then returning to her friend before walking out of their home to head to the neighboring room.<br/><br/>Standing outside the door of one particular room, they both could clearly hear the noises of the TV from behind the door and knew this was definitely the room. No surprise there for them both. Alexis took a cautious glance at both directions, to make sure that no one was around before activating the little gadget within her hand. To anybody's guess, it looked like an ordinary pocketknife but to Lana and Alexis, they would know better. With a little tinkering and modifications to make sure the gadget would make a perfect copy of the keyhole of the door before unlocking the door and entering into the room.
