" No problem Boss," Mario replied as Sasha joined him," these nice officers were just telling how we have a fugitive mutie problem in the neighborhood." The leader of the group, with the name Fusion on his jumpsuit, scowled. " As I was saying to your smartmouthed bartender, we are looking for a pair of escaped fugitives who helped a wanted murderer escape custody. They..." he continued on, describing Avi and Sierra perfectly. Sasha laughed aloud. "Officer, you're apparently not aware how much the local crime hates Meta's here are you?" she said. "If they're here on the street they're probably getting worked over by some two bit thug. That said, are you proposing they came here?" she asked with an arched eyebrow. "If that's the case, I'm going to need to see your arrest warrant and the right to search my property. Forgive me if I'm a little less then helpful. The punks in this neighborhood are trying to run me out of my business." She smiled and extended her hand. "I'll be more then happy to help you with the search once we have the paper work set aside." Sasha knew it was ballsy to stall a cop like this but unless they had probable cause they had no reason not to look; and she'd made her statement clear about people trying to close her business; she was just a concerned business owner now. "But while you're here I'd like to report someone handing out counterfeit money." She'll describe the prep to the officer. |

*Sierra gives one last look at the door that Sasha just went through and then heads into the cellar and to the lift that was mentioned. 'come on, i highly doubt that they're gonna play nice in the bar for long Avi .. lets go already. i think they may be blackmailing that Judge somehow. wonder if the guy even exists? ahh here we go ... '
*she works the lift so that it heads up, and once at the top, works the hand held unit so that it closes again and hops out into the alley. gives Avi a gentle nudge to get moving and follows and acts as the radar unit. he's wearing her coat for now and her long sleeved shirt covers the skin well enough
'right then, you lead and i'll take the hits. they shouldn't hurt me. think some building is still wearing an imprint of my face someplace. if what Tyler said happened is true. heck got hit with bullets getting the baby out now that i think on it ... '

Taipan smirked, then activated his comm," Fusion, we found Atlas and things are about to get interesting. You may want to get over here." It was followed by direstions.
" Gotcha, only a few blocks away. Lost the trail on the other two anyways." Came Fusion's reply.
Taipan got a smug look on his face as he looked at Tom and Ryne," Now, I'm not sure what you mean by a pave-rave, but I do know that resisting arrest won't add more than a couple months to your sentences."
" Add this" Ryne flipped off Taipan, which took away the smirk. in response, the Aussie spit on Ryne. Without thinking, he wiped it away with his hand and immediately regretted it as the toxins started to take affect. " Won't last long on you Ryne, but should be long enough. Now ," he looked to Tom," Last chance to stand aside." Behind Tom, he could hear Tom stagger a step backwards and thenlose his battle to stay on his feet, crashing to sit on the alley floor.
* * * * *
sasha heard the same radio exchange. Fusion looked at her," Corporal, could contact dispatch to send a detective over to investigate the counterfiet problems?"
One of the uniformed officers nodded, " Of course."
" Good enough. Ma'am, I'm sorry we wasted your time." Fusion said, and ushered his people out the door.
Once they were gone, Mario sighed," Boss, this job just keeps getting wierder. You wanna tell me why someone just came up the lift from the cellar?"
Sasha realized that the location Fusion had been given would put Avi and Sierra directly along his path and coming up behind them.
* * * * *
" Sierra, I was a soldier, I know what to do when shot are fired." Avi explained as he led the pair. " We should get back to the beach house. Tom and Ryne should be there by now." Suddenly, Sierra could sense Arc and Taipan ahead of them at the edge of her range.

"Not right now," Sasha said reaching for her cell phone and dialing Avi's cell. "They're coming; they got Ryne located. The officer here's name was fusion if that helps. And they'll be coming your way any time." She quickly hangs up the phone and looks to Mario.
"If you want an answer it'll have to wait until there's another tender to take over, Mario."

Tom rubs the back of his neck seemingly thoughtfully, while in reality activating his bandaidio "Gee, well, when you put it like that Taipan, seeing as you just brought down Ryne and are threatening us with jailtime and all that. And here we are. Well, hmm." Tom gets into a defensives posture. "You are right, it's someone's last chance to back off. So, how about you just walk the other way?" Tom magnetically levitates some of the larger metal objects in range.

the only problem Sasha had was as she was singing off her warning, she realized she had gotten Avi's voice mail.
Mario looked at Sasha, then nodded. " Understood, consider it dropped. Oh, hey, Nicky called while you were in the office to chew at you for something he says you shouldn't have done. sounded awful but he claims he's gonna be okay."
* * * * *
" I'mmm not oud ov thiz yet." Ryne slurred under the effects of Taipan's toxins as he tried to get back to his feet, stumbling a bit and finally bracing himself against the wall.
" Not so good in a fight without someone controlling the shots, Ryne?" Taipan mused.
That was enough to make Ryne snap, and despite his system being slowed by the poisons, he threw himself at Taipan.
Arc grinned, " Now it's self defense, tin can,' and a bolt of electricity leapt from his hands towards Tom ( 18 to strike)

'Avi? .. 2 of them are ahead. Taipan and the one that hit you. oh heck .. so are Tom and Ryne ... we gotta help them. here .. ' *hands him back the undamaged communicator she had removed earlier. 'a precaution in case they were bugged. but they'll be blocked i think. they blocked them last time ... ohno .. powers are active all over .. find me something to chuck. maybe we can KO them or get them out of the running with a messed up knee or something ... ?'
*she attaches her own communicator even as her eyes scan for items to throw or wield from behind their backs. like lmaybe a 2x4? a hubcap? or even some small rocks.

The bolt of electricity crackles across Tom's chest as he makes a flying haymaker (Leap punch (11+3 to strike, 40 damage if it hits) "Suit yourself, Sparky"

Sasha sighs. "What's he pissed about?" she muttered to herself. "I'm the one whose out a bartender. I'll call Nick from my office." Sasha in exasperation throws her hands up. "Why do I even come out front some nights?"
Once in her office she picks up the desk phone and calls Nicholas back. "You rang, Nicholas?" she asked.

" Si, copy Ryne and throw a car at them. He's named Atlas for a reason" Avi replied. He noticed something move and shouted," Get down!" then a stacatto of automatic fire hammered the bricks of the building over his head as he took hi own advice.
* * * * *
" Hiya boss." Nicholas answered the phone, with a grin she could hear over the line. " Mario must have laid it on thick for me. Just wanted to find out what the story was with the gift after you already paid off all my medical expenses?"
On her camera monitors, Sasha could see both the guy who called himself Fusion and two of his companions with weapons in hand run past the elevator.
* * * * *
As Tom struck Arc, he fell back with the impact, only to release a surge of electricity at Tom ( 16 to hit,)

Tom absorbs the hit, and as he does, he reaches out to grab Taipan. "Your partner isn't that smart." (15+3 to grab, and hoping that my body conducts the electricity through me into Taipan)

Taipan couldn't respond. Between the zap that was passed on to him and Ryne mauling him, he was too busy. Unfortunately, he shared the blast with Ryne, who shot Tom a dirty look. In the near distance, the hammering of automatic fire rung out.

"Looks like we go to wrap this up." Tom turns to arc "Think like Lightning, Sparky. You can either take your buddy and go, or you can get double-teamed."

" Do I look like you're scaring me? " Arc sneered as he changed his focus, instead hammering Ryne with a lightning blast from behind. That coupled with the poisonous touch he was absorbing from constant contact with Taipan made the big man stagger a bit again. Only then did the full strength of Atlas come into play as he slugged Taipan hard enough that the man's lifeless body flew towards his teammate, against a dumpster. An unconscious groan escaped to let them know the man was still alive as he slid to the ground. In doing so, Ryne dropped to one knee.

.oO(Jeez, he's stronger than I thought...is that guy dead?). Tom mulls over his thoughts as he turns to Ryne. "OK, let's get out of here big fella" as he hoists the big man and begins moving, he taps his comm. "Guys, we' got a mess here and I need a pick up bad"
