[X] That's a secret
[X] Alex Campbell
[X] Broke into the house of a wealthy lawyer
Jonathon Flowers was a well known lawyer in Star City. The attorney lived in one of the most expensive houses in the city, and openly flaunted his wealth.
Targeting him for someone's first heist is something most people would call crazy. After all, most people would think that someone as rich as him would have good security.
But Alex Campbell knew better.
She had made frequent observations of the building, in preparation for his heist. Her civilian paperwork was thought to be female, so merely dressing as a boy was enough of a disguise that no-one would think he was involved.
There weren't any security guards, and the security camera's were incredibly obvious in their placement. It seemed as if Mister Flowers didn't expect to be robbed.
Hubris at it's finest.
Still, breaking in wouldn't be easy. The camera's, while obvious, covered most of his large garden, making it almost impossible to sneak in.
Unfortunately for Mister Flowers, Alex had certain advantages over a common thief.
While the ground floor was covered in camera's, none of them were facing upwards, at the rooftops of the nearby houses. If one was to get onto the roof, they would be able to leap towards balcony on the second floor. The distance was great enough that someone trying to enter with that method would have to cling to the bottom and climb up, but Alex's power set included enhanced agility. It may be difficult, but it should be possible.
Of course, a regular thief who somehow got in through that method would have difficulty getting out, with anything they stole, but her powerset also included hammerspace storage. He was unsure of the full capacity of that storage, but assuming that she didn't hit a limit, he could take anything not nailed down or on fire, and still be unburdened.
And, of course, it wasn't all about what she stole.
It was about the reputation he would gain, as a daring thief, and the thrill of stealing from one of the richest men in the city.
Of course, that didn't mean she wasn't going to be happy with the money he stole.

The plan went off without a hitch. Getting to the rooftops was difficult, but Circus was able to climb up eventually. After that, the only real obstacle was the glass door.
After spending a few moments trying to open the locked sliding door silently, Circus pulled her Sledgehammer out of hammerspace, and smashed it open.
The glass on the floor was bothersome, but it was easy enough to step around it on her way in.
The noise made when he smashed it had attracted attention, however. Circus heard footsteps as she entered.
Jonathon Flowers had heard her, it seems.
No problem. She was prepared for this.
Quickly, Circus...
[X] Pulled a brick out of his hammerspace, placed it among the glass, and hid.
[X] Hid near the door, ready to sneak past when Mr Flowers entered.
-[X] Hide above the door, he won't look there.
-[X] Set something on fire. He'll be too distracted to look around.
[X] Stood at the door, ready to...
-[X] Knock him out
-[X] Take him down and ask him where the valuables are.
As they did so, Circus quickly looked over at Jonathon's table, and took...
[X] Some important looking documents. Might have some bank details.
[X] A golden ring. Looks expensive.
[X] The phone. If he can't call for help while she's distracted, then he'd be able to loot the place for longer.
