Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Glacier, Batwoman




Glacier has posed:
Crowds buzz around the Central Business District, going about their daily business in a chaotic orchestra of movement. Men and women in well-dressed suits scurry along into various buildings, while parents struggling to reign control of their child try to take cash out of an ATM not too far away.

The organized chaos of the district is suddenly broken by the crash of broken glass at one of the banks. A man dressed in some sort of black leather jacket and a matching hat pulls a metallic fist away from the now shattered window and steps inside and barks orders to the tellers. A few people inside flee out the front door or the shattered window.

Batwoman has posed:
Kate groans when she hears the crash, but it's brief. First she takes off with the rest of the crowd, flailing and screaming like a normal passerby. Once she's reached her vehicle, however thigns change. It doesn't take long to find somewhere for her to switch to her costume. Batwoman. it's the middle of the daay but it can't be helped right now. Batwoman, for her part, is making her way among the vehicles, her crimson hair flowing across her shoulders, black outfit best kept to the shadows.

Batwoman is watching the man robbing the bank with keen blue eyes- and does two things. First she produces a pair of binoculars to get a look at his face and take a photo. Second, she checks the gun on her holster. Next up will likely be smoke but first she is watching to be sure she has the situation properly evaluated.

Glacier has posed:
The man inside grabs the neck of one of the customers, who gasps and chokes in his grip. In his panic, the man being choked starta, oddly, changing colors rapidly until all but his clothes are effectively camoflaged. The man choking him starts grinning, then slowly begins changing color as well, while the mutant he's choking starts slowly reverting back to a normal human skin tone.

The ground rumbles slightly as heavy footfalls shake the ground. Charging in the opposite direction of the fleeing pedestrians is what can only be described as a glacier, a ten foot tall behemoth of ice in a vaguely humanoid shape. It's arms end in sharp points, while it's head is nothing more than a raised chunk of ice with a somewhat spiky top. The glacier stops in front of the window and stomps to get the villain's attention. He slowly looks it's way.

Batwoman has posed:
That's when batwoman moves. The glacier has her target distracted. She breaks into a sprint. The smoke grenade that she reaches for reflexively is discarded because it could hurt some of the elderly patrons. A flashbang isn't right... So instead she gets to a car near the bank and creeps closer stealthily. Once she's against the wall Batwoman removes the pistol from the holster beside her and fires a series of shots at the bankrobber. Riot suppression rounds. Nonlethal, but they'll still break bones and drop a grown man. The glacier is... Stared at, meanwhile. Observed. It seems to be hostile to her enemy. There was nothign to do about now.

Glacier has posed:
The bankrobber flinches and staggers at the riot suppression rounds. He looks visibly pissed, but mostly unharmed. He looks around briefly, which is when the golem makes it's move. She starts charging forward, ready to swing at the villain with her arm, but the villain's quicker. He ducks under her arm and uppercuts the glacier, putting a visible crack in the ice. The glacier reels back. Can it feel pain?
