The Powell man freezes in the Hunter's look. "....you really don't know him." He gulps.
Tank made his leap, even knowing that by the time he heard the gunshot, he was going to be just a little too late.
But then he saw her. She was faster (or closer? It was hard to tell.) For the first time, he saw a bullet bounce from the flesh of a human being as the round collapsed against the Sentry's outstretched hand.
The Voice tried to run away.

She's bulletproof too? And way faster than me. Wait until uncle hears about this! went through Alex's mind before he realized he had been too slow to stop Voice from shooting at the crowd. He looked at The Sentry and gave her a nod, "You're faster than me. You grab the Nazi traitor, I'll go back and check on our friends inside."
He turned to the woman that had nearly been shot, "You will be fine now.You're safe thanks to The Sentry." He smiled and headed back into what was left of the club, "Hunter? Are we good to go? We have an audience starting to grow outside and I'm certain the police will be here soon."

Hunter shrugs. "Whenever he puts you on the floor, let me know. I have nothing better to do that time."

Sentry nods at Tank and darts over to where the Voice is and grabs him gently by the arm. "You're not going anywhere." She tells him. "I'm sure the authorities want to have a chat with you."

The Powell man took the card offered by the Hunter. "So what, I just call you?"
The Concerned Citizen and the Hunter could see Tank approach. The man in blue turned to Tank. "Well done." He produced several cards of his own, providing one to the Hunter, and two to Tank. "Give this to the Sentry. Meet me here, at dawn. We'll talk."
The card is for Wong's Chinese Theatre.
The Voice was easily caught in the Sentry's grip. He struggled, but Charlotte could tell he wasn't exactly strong even for a normal human. "How are you able to do this? What is the source of your unholy power?"
You could start to hear sirens in the distance.

"Yes. Consider me on retainer."
Takes the card looking it over and tucks it into an inner pocket. "I believe we should leave."

Tank nodded as he heard the sirens in the distance, "I have to collect something." He said in agreement as he pocketed the card. He nodded to Concerned Citizen, "I can't speak for the others, but I'll be there." He then headed to collect his disguise. The jacket was of little consequence, but he needed his brace for appearances. Once he had them, he went back out side, looking for Sentry again. "Not sure how well you work with the police, but I catch a little flack for collateral damage sometimes and they Say I'm too reckless sometimes. Funny they don't complain when I get the job done." He shrugged and handed Sentry one of the cards he had been given, "Citizen wants to talk. Tomorrow at dawn. Not sure what it is about, but i am going." He said, starting to back away to escape before the police arrived.

Sentry shakes her head at the Voice. "I already told you what I know. It's time for you to explain yourself to the Authorities." When Tank hands her the card, Sentry simply nods. "I can wait until the authorities take this man into custody. I'll meet you tomorrow at dawn."

Sentry was the only one of the group present once the police arrived to take the Voice and his gang into custody. As the cops lead the Powell man away to get his statement, Charlotte could pick up his thoughts one last time.
It doesn't make any sense. The electric airship defence doesn't even work - why would Mr. Powell want to give this information to a Nazi agent? Why would he want the Nazis to destroy his work, even a project that isn't working?
The Hunter made his way back to the hotel room, and FBI Agent Caleb was there. He looked at the outfit, still on the bed where it had been left. "I'm a little disappointed you didn't take it with you. Were you able to find out anything useful?"
Tank returned to his Uncle Lex's workshop. Lex was finishing cleaning off his old Steelfist armor for what seemed like the first time in a long time. He took a moment to look you over. "How did the suit hold up?"

"So called Nazis seem up to no good. Never did trust Prussia after the first world war." Looks over the costume. "I still might."

"The suit is incredible. Thank you for passing on the cape!" Alex replied enthusiastically. He began removing the new suit when he arched a brow, "Uncle, do you know of a man that goes by the name Concerned Citizen? He was there tonight also, and helped us get inside. After everything was said and done, he asked the Hunter and I to meet him tomorrow morning to talk. The Sentry was there again as well. She is incredible in action."
It took the younger man a moment to realize what the older was doing, "Is there something I should know? The last time I saw I saw you cleaning your Steel Fist so meticulously, you were about to use it. Please, let me come with you! I would be a great help to you! You always said someday we would fight side by side to save this city. Please, I won't let you down." Alex pleaded.

Sentry raises an eyebrow at the last thought she picked up from the Voice. That doesn't make any sense. It must give him some kind of advantage to have the project destroyed, but what could it be?

(Hunter)
"And what did you find? Tell me." Agent Caleb looked you over. "I know something happened on your hunt, even if you don't trust. But you should. After all, I serve this wonderful country of ours." He smiled a wolf's grin. "Body and soul."
(Tank)
"Concerned Citizen? I'm not sure I do. Describe him to me." He dusted off the suit. "Nothing so grand. A meeting called by some old friends. Nothing worth your effort. So you and the Sentry, eh? Are you looking for a partner? You could do worse." He chuckled.
(Sentry)
You realize that with Powell Industries War Department contract, that if the attack had been successful, they still would have been paid, so it might have all been a ruse; draw in a saboteur to a false, underfunded project, in order to cover up diverting the funds elsewhere, and still have a massive profit.
The crowd continued to gawk at you - some of them were beginning to approach and get a closer look at you.
