---

Silk has posed:
    Its late evening in Hell's Kitchen and the bank is just about to close up when there's a *FLASH* of light and Sparks! "Holy shit, its Electro!" one of the world-weary New York bank tellers says, pointing with mouth agape.

    "That's right." The Electrically Charged villain states with a wicked grin. "Now, we can do this the nice way, or the mean way. Open the vault and don't anyone hit the.." The klaxon shrieks out! "Alarm..." Electro frowns, looking towards the young bank teller who's only doing her job. "Okay.. " he says, with a little frown.

    But the word is out! Bank Robbery at Hell's Kitchen First National Bank!

Crusader has posed:
Ahhh, Hells Kitchen - when your looking for trouble, it was one of the best places to be. That and in Bjorn humble opione, a rather nice neighborhood to take a stroll in even at night, let alone evening.
    He gives pause there as he picks up....an Alarm comming from the bank. Perfect! He seems to fade from existance, and a few yards down the street a new person appears - Vorn, and he is cracking his knuckles. "Time for some fun!"
    And with that he charges towards the bank and bashes right through the doors into the main lobby of the bank taking a quick look around. Spotting electro was easy enough along with the other workers of the bank.

Breath has posed:
Breath is... nearby. On the way home from work actually. Flying a glider pack in a supersuit is a lot easier and more comfortable than having to wear a costume home.. ugh. So the flash is visible from afar, and so she angles that way with some annoyance, more because she would never hear the end of it if she actually ignored a bank robbery.

The down side? She's flying, and that's.. noisy. So she brakes and comes in for a landing a little way down the street, sounding like a freaking jet airliner hitting the brakes. >>WHOOOOOSHHH!!!<< Stealthy she ain't. To Robin's infinite annoyance, she's sure.

X-23 has posed:
Laura isn't one to openly look for heroic deeds, but she happened to walk nearby when the bank's alarm set off. She looks towards the bank with a blank expression, at first wanting to move along her way, but then a recent experience she had in the Morlocks Tunnels makes her turn on a heel and head towards the bank in a steadfast manner. She may not care for the money in there, but she wants to make sure no innocents are harmed by the person robbing the place.

Silk has posed:
    "This would have gone a lot easier if you'd just cooperated." Electro states, with a growl- one accompanied by a surge of electric energy along his skin. And then? CRASH! Vorn breaks down the doors to the bank. "See? This is what I'm talking about." The electrically charged thief states as he turns to look towards Vorn, "Metal man, huh?" he wonders, "That suit insulated?" he asks next before he raises a hand to blast a bolt of electricity at Vorn's metal-clad body.

    Elsewhere, Breath and Laura head towards the bank's doors- which are barely hanging on, thanks to Vorn's violent entry. Electro is, of course, not yet aware of them. They haven't entered the bank, yet. His attention is wholly on Vorn- playing a bridge between the electricity coming out of the wall in harsh sparks- and that which he's firing at Vorn now.

    Silk, New York's smoothest spider-based heroine arrives just outside the bank to spy the flashing of electric-light-show within. "Woah." She looks left and right- Laura and Breath approaching, "Heroes?" she asks of the two.

Crusader has posed:
Vorn actually laughs in deep boostering voice "Hey! That out! It tickles!" he even scratches his belly as the electricity hits him unaffected by it. "...suit? Well guess folks should wear one. But just pants and boots work" which is all Vorn has.
    "Alright, enough chatter, time to bring you down!" he cracks his knuckles and it sounds like metal beams snapping. He quickly takes stalk of the where the workers were, he didn't want to get them caught up in more trouble. And he also takes notice of the three heroions just outside the bank...an idea is hatched.

tVorn Leaps forward and attempts to grab Electro and if successfull hopefully throw him right outside the bank where the other heroes are...if nothing goes wrong anyways!

Breath has posed:
Breath nods, jogging to the door and sucking in a HUGE breath. "I'm the Breath. Titans. Yeep, zappie dude. Got a plan?" She gets up closer to the door and looks in the windows a bit with some wariness common to those who aren't walking around bulletproofed up. "All I got so far is chucking a door at him, and metal dude might be standing too close. Wha-"

Then suddenly, there's movement and things being directed back at the door and she suddenly takes several hasty steps backward since she prefers not to be in a fistfight with people who are covered in lightning.

X-23 has posed:
Laura does precisely what one might expect of Laura, assuming they actually knew here, she just walks into the bank without answering Silk's question. To her benefit, she is dressed relatively normally, a 15 year old goth. There's no visible weapons on her, she's not rushing in, she doesn't look like she's after attacking Electro or assisting Vorn, she just walks right in and surveys the people. Actually, maybe that is suspicious, she is tremendously calm considering the situation at hand as she looks to make sure all the people are unharmed.

Silk has posed:
    "First thing, we get the people out." Silk states, "That big guy seems to have the pikachu wannabe's attention, lets keep it that way." Silk says over to Breath, just blinking as Laura goes on her way. "Alright, I think she's set with the plan!" Silk offers hopefully, as she looks over towards Vorn. "Keep his attention! We're going to get the people out! Come on!"

     Silk then runs headlong into where the people in the bank cower in terror. "Second thing we should do is try to get him out of here!" Silk notes back, as she hurries to one of the frightened teller's sides, "Come on. We need to hit the road."

    Electro growls, looking at Vorn as he then looks towards the bank vault. "You're kinda ugly, you know that?" Electro says as his body becomes pure electricity just as Vorn dives at him- disappearing into the plug in the wall, only to appear from a lamp just in front of the vault. "Hey, you ugly sack of chrome! You really think you can catch a lightning bolt?"

Crusader has posed:
Vorn quickly spins around to face Electro. "Potentially" is his response. Huh, so this guy can completly turn into electricty. In that state he could try to complete absorb/hold him within himself...but that is probably A - Dangerous for Electro, B - Dangerous for everyone else. Yea, best not
    He none the less grins as silk gives the command "No problem!" people taking care of the teller while he fights? Hell yes! Though now he has to keep an eye out to not accidently hit Laura, Breath or Silk! Let alone the other innocents. But least this should help
    And with that he makes a goofy face at Electro saying in a taunting fashion "Oh look at me. I a big Mittin Head who thinks he is sooooooooooo tough." he releases the face and says "Bah! Got less wattz in that brain than a dim lightbulb." Alright enough taunting, his arm seems to light up with lightning that he shoots towards Electro. Yea, electric villian is probably immune, but hey, if it keeps his attention, than goal accomplished

Breath has posed:
Breath just sort of jawdrops at that. "Okay, I don't know how to deal with that?" She freezes a bit in confusion, watching, and slips in to see if she can find a way to get the hostages out. Though she's not completely sure how to accomplish THAT, either. She does her best to stay out of the line of fire...

X-23 has posed:
Laura is kinda of with the program that Silk suggested, and just by seeing Silk and Breath starting to clear people, she does the same. As long as Vorn keeps Electro occupied, they should be okay. But if Electro somehow overpowers Vorn, she'll have to join in as a distraction. For now, she just helps shepherd people to safety.

Silk has posed:
    That lightning bolt strikes Electro, who channels it into the lock of the safe. The safe then opens with a loud creaaak. "Thanks!" he says over to Vorn, before he disappears inside the vault.

    "Okay! Comeon, he's in the vault!" Silk shouts, as she helps to usher the people out of the bank- good thing it was closing time, there's only half a dozen or so bank workers in the place.

    Inside the Vault, Electro laughs loudly as he scans along the various safe-deposit boxes. With a surge of electrically powered strength he busts open one in particular. Whatever is inside is held in a black bag. He grabs it as the vault door opens fully.

Crusader has posed:
Vorn grunts "Smartass" really he needed to use *his* lightning to do that. Talk about lazy criminal robberies! Dude can turn into electricty and couldn't just do this whole robbery buisness after hours?
    Concentrate Vorn! The tellers are being led to safty. Vorn melts into a puddle of goo than than seems to dissappear - in time to see Electro grab a black bag. The 'invisible' puddle of goo (really it more like an enviromental distortion) quickly surger forward. But he doesn't go for Electro, he goes for Electro prize - the black bag, it is the only thing he grabbed so far, so he assume it is what Electro wants. The invisible goo tries to surger around and more or less engulf the bag and potentially part of electros arm, like some monster out of the movie The Blob.

Breath has posed:
Breath ushers patrons out quickly, keeping an eye on the vault. "Go, go!" She looks over and grabs a garbage can and puts it between her and the vault, then grabs the forms ind envelopes and piles them up on a table nearby. It's not a.. GOOD plan, but it's all she's got at this stage of things. And mostly she just wants the people to be safe.

X-23 has posed:
Laura was only concerned with the safety of the people, so once they are cleared out to safety, she doesn't pursuit into the vault. She couldn't care any less about Electro or whatever it is he is stealing. Today, she helped keep the 'light'. Her encounter with Caliban was quite unique to be sure, he is the first man to get her to think about anything lately. It had a jarring affect. But should no one else offer or do anything, she starts to head out of the bank.

Silk has posed:
    "Agh!" Electro shouts as one of his arms is covered in metallic shimmery-goo. "Git'offa me you disgusting blob! What is this?!" Electro reacts as one might expect- his body goes all electric for a moment and he drops the goods- the bag being grabbed by Vorn. "You idiot! I need that!" Electro exclaims, as he again blasts Vorn with electricty- and quite a lot of it. Sure, he knows it didn't help before, but maybe the problem was he wasn't using enough.

    "You think the big guy is okay in there?" Silk asks over towards Breath, as Laura heads out with the last of the bank staff. "I mean, that other dude had lightening coming from them- maybe they cancel each other out, or something?" she wonders, with a hint of worry in her voice. Vorn, however, seems to have whatever gear Electro was after well in hand.

Crusader has posed:
"Well, next time just serve your sentence in jail and get it back...you know the legal way" comes Vorn voice from the blob. The electricty doesn't do anything to Vorn...infact it seems to only give him more energy.
    Well, perhaps Vorn can't absorb this guy in electrical form, but at the very least contain him. Vorns consituted matter procedes to now try to engulf and encase Electro.
    Though he does call back "Hey! Any idea when the police are comming? Can probably hold this guy untill they arrive. Mabey. Hopefully"

Breath has posed:
Breath shrugs helplessly, "I.. I don't know? I don't have any ideas though..? This sort of situation isn't really something I am good with. I need to come up with some better stuff for this kind of thing." She frowns in frustration, "Open for suggestions."

X-23 has posed:
With nobody else or any other incident giving her reason to change her mind, Laura merely states to the people outside, "don't linger, run," though she proceeds to walk away casually. Heroes or villains, someone will get out on the upper hand, it's not her concern.

Silk has posed:
     Unfortunately, Electro has no intention of being held in jail- or by Vorn. He goes lightening form and blasts along the metal surface of the vault and out the door, childishly closing the electronic door behind himself and wholly frying the locking mechanism in the process. "Friggin' tights!" he calls out, before he's gone- back into the main's, and flying at the speed of electricity along the powerlines to points unknown.

    "That guy is going to get locked in there!" Silk says over to Breath, before *twhip!thwip!* two weblines go out and attach to the closing door- she's struggling to try and keep it open, "Hey! Get out of there! Those things don't have a lot of air inside, you know!" Cindy hates closed doors she can't open- just the thought of someone being trapped in a little room like that sort of upsets her, "Help me keep the doors open, that's the plan!"

Crusader has posed:
Vorn calls back his voice booming "FRIGGIN LIVING MITTINZ!" He looks to the closing door. He wasn't worried as he didn't exactly need to breath. But yea, Air-tight sealed room? Not exactly easy to escape even for a entity that can turn into liquid goo! He drops the black bag and will let the worker shrt that out "Comming, comming!"
    Vorn waste no time in liquifing once more and surging out of the closing vault - as the space was already to small for his normal form. So liquid escape it is! His matter pools onto the floor as every last drop makes for the escape!

Breath has posed:
Breath blinks and runs toward the vault! She slams shoulder-first into the side of the wall by the vault and.. wait, how is the physics going to work here? She doesn't want to turn into the butt of a high school physics gag. She turns to look in through the crack toward the back of the vault and blows a huge roaring blast of air into the room, so that it will bounce off the back wall and blow the vault door back out with a tornado force exhalation..

Silk has posed:
    Between Silk and Breath the door is slowed enough for Vorn to get out of the closing vault- he might even get a little help from Breath's heavy breathing! Vorn manages to escape! Silk's webbing is taut, and she releases only after the liquefied hero has made his escape. "Alright. Well.. the bad guy got away, but I don't think anyone got hurt." she says with a shake of her head, and a quick woosh of exhaled breath.

    "Good job! I guess. Well. Sorta. Lets call this one a draw." Silk says, still grinning like an idiot- of course, no one can see her idiot's grin behind her mask- but it is in her voice.

Crusader has posed:
Vorn is wooooshes out by Breaths tornado blown winds! The rather substantial pool reconsitutes himself. Though his head is replaced by a hand and his head is on his foot and his foot is his head. He looks annoyed "Bah! Hate when that happens." he sets to removing body parts and righting them "No one got hurt, so it is of the good job"
    Body parts righted he shakes himself oof "Oh next time SO giving that guy a good beat down! Eitherway thanks....weird lady" he says look to Silk and than he looks to Breath "And good to see you again Breath" he cracks his neck "Welp, guess that it for this night, mittin head probably long gone"

Breath has posed:
Breath grins, "You too! I wish I could have been more use with the.. zappy dude.. but I'm glad I could help you out!" She hmmms, "I think I need some new tricks. I've got some ideas, but.. you know. Tracking somebody down who can help make them."

Silk has posed:
    "Honestly, I have absolutely zero clue what I'm doing, so, I'll just wish you best of luck!" Silk offers, giving a wave to Vorn, "Hey, you too, weird guy!" its friendly enough. Silk then runs outside and thwip! She's webslinging off into the night!

Crusader has posed:
"Welp, time to see if there is more fight. Sides, rather not deal with the po-lice" Vorn says. He gives the running silk a two finger salute as she thwips off. He looks to Breath "...yea, got nothing for you. But good luck with that" and yup, he seems to just fade from existance. Time to hightail it out of their
