AU MEME | elena gilbert as the leader of a crew of thieves [leverage]

Elena pulled up to the building Elijah had used for his cover.
"So I guess this is goodbye."
"For now."
"I want to thank you. Even though you can't give me access to the files on Klaus, I appreciate the help you gave my team during this job. I owe you."
"You're welcome, Elena."
[beat]
"Elena."
"What?"
"My phone."
Elena's poker face was still pretty terrible. Chagrined, she pulled his phone from her coat and handed it to him. He pointedly slipped it inside his suit jacket, and they smiled. It was a damned good lift; had she not compensated with sincerity, she might well have gotten away with it.
She was learning.

btw on elena's team, katherine is totally a grifter, nothing can convince me otherwise! bonnie and caroline are the hacker and the hitter! i'm debating making the thief be the secret circle's melissa glaser. incoming crossover!
