"Uh, yeah, I got these two. Thanks for the help with the bomb." Alex replied without turning to face Sentry. His voice wavered a bit with the sounds of approaching police cruiser, since the last thing Alex wanted was for anyone to recognize him, not that he was well known or anything.
He looked down at the men as he stepped closer, "Take off your belts and hand them over. Quick. " he demanded, improvising.

"Not without help. Difficult to haul a prisoner around who's wounded, when you are as well."

Sentry nods. "Good shot. Thanks for the assistance." She smiles a bit when she sees Uncle Lex, but recognizes that now that the police are coming she needs to get out of here so Charlotte can make a re-entrance. Taking off, she finds a place to hide and gets changed into the outfit Charlotte was wearing. Making sure her hair is back in a braid, Charlotte puts her glasses back on and heads back to the scene.

The old man sighed at the hunter. "I can help, but I must also get my young friend as well." He grabbed the prisoner. "I can bring this one - go get my big friend over there and be quick about it - tell him old man says so." He pointed to the man holding starring down the two downed saboteurs. "Don't ask him too many questions, or he may decide to answer them by ripping your arms off."
The goons gave Alex their belts with little hesitation. "What ...are you?" One of them squeaked out.
Charlotte is able to blend back in - no one is paying attention to her in all the commotion, and the press is either trying to make their way to the cops or Powell, somehow locking the entire crowd in place and preventing anyone from getting to Alex or the Hunter and their prisoners.
Charlotte can feel the lack of eyes on her, and can see Uncle Lex dragging off a goon.

Alex took the belts and quickly tied the two saboteurs hands together around the base of the tower, possibly a bit tighter than he should have, but he was rushing because of the approaching sirens. The last thing he wanted was to be identified, or worse, arrested for his vigilante actions. As one of them posed their question, he smirked without stopping, " Don't you read the papers? I'm Tank Savage is what I am. Now you boys play nice and answer the policeman's questions, or I'll have to track you down again. Got it?" He scowled, already backing away , looking for an escape route.

Nods, stuffing a handkerchief into his shirt, to stem the bleeding, hurries over. "Old man says let's go."

Curious, Charlotte follows her Uncle Lex and the other guy. What are they up to? Charlotte wonders to herself.

"Yessir." Alex answered before he realized it was not his uncle that came to collect him. He started to follow, "Wait, who the heck are you?"

Charlotte is able to keep pace with the old man and the goon with him as they reach Lex's car parked outside the airfield. She can also hear two men walking behind her.
Alex and the Hunter make their way to the car, but they can also see that the old man is being followed by a tall woman.

Charlotte continues to follow her uncle Lex and the goon. Who's that other guy?' Charlotte wonders to herself. I've never seen him before.

"Hunter, an ally. Currently bleeding. Yourself?"

"Call me Tank. He can patch you up, seen him do it to others and himself before." Alex replied, not making the mistake of giving away anything his uncle had not. He motioned towards the woman following Lex up ahead, "We might have a problem. No idea who that is." He motioned to the tall woman between them and Lex.
Alex thought for a moment, then picked up the stranger, "Come on, let's bounce ahead of them. Hang on tight." With the Hunter held safely in his arms, Alex got a running start before jumping and then bouncing a second jump so they landed not far beyond Lex's truck but careful to land in the shadows in case they were watched. He let the Hunter go before they approached the car from the other side. There was no pleasantries as he faced Lex, "You got an admirer." He said before motioning toward the woman following.

Lex looked at his young nephew for a moment. "Good work back there. Loud, but good." He looked at the hunter, then he turned his head and looked at Charlie.
For a moment, he examined her, then recognition dawned, and Charlotte could see it. He raised a single eyebrow, and tilted his head slightly towards the car as he pushed the goon into the back seat. "Stay with this one, boy. The hunter can take the front seat. As for her? She is...she is not a concern." His eyes once again met hers, as if issuing a challenge, or asking a question.

"Thanks. Took a few moments to pull my bullet out of the car tire."

Charlotte raises an eyebrow. "Not a concern? Don't underestimate the power of words, Uncle Lex." There's a teasing note in her voice at the end. "I could tell everyone what you were doing and then where would you be? Unless you give me the scoop instead...?"
