Quicksilver has posed:
It was going to be a quiet day in Metropolis. Key Words: Going to be.

Off of 35th and Q, a bank was being robbed! Several men with assault rifles taking specific locations at the shop. three held clerks at gunpoint, one watched the exit, and the other two were grabbin' cash faster than they could actually carry it. Pietro Maximoff happened to be nearby, peeking his head through the door as he zips on in.

"Well, hi fellas. I hope you're saving some for me at least, I'm behind on my rent." he's joking...hopefully.

Power Girl has posed:
Superman might not be around, something that criminals are likely to be happy to share around...but that didn't mean that the city was unprotected. There was still a Kryptonian keeping watch, and while the speedster had indeed got there first?

A sudden blurring of white and red through the doorway and all of a sudden, Power Girl was present. "Really guys? Couldn't just break an ATM and be done with it?"

Quicksilver has posed:
Pietro turns his head and notices Power Girl by his side. "Oh, hey babe." Quicksilver says with a grin. "How about we take these guys down in a hurry then I cook for you at your place?" Yes, he's totally not above being flirty with his girlfriend while they fight crime.

His attention then shifts to the crooks as they all start opening fire without a second thought. Pietro is dodging bullets with extreme ease and even knocks out two gunmen with hyper-fast punches to the jawline.

Power Girl has posed:
     Open flirtation, banter in the midst of crime fighting, there's a shake of Karen's head before giving a little laugh. "C'mon, not in front of the mooks..." she begins, after all. Secret identities be damned after all!

     A sudden rush forwards as the bullets fly, Karen's own grasp comes forwards and begins to try and pull those firearms free, crushing both into balls of steel, brass and deflated hopes for a bankrobber.
     "You really should do the surrendering thing before -I- start punching you."

Quicksilver has posed:
Pietro is sometimes insufferable, but for some reason he managed to claim a woman like Power Girl to like him. With two down on Pietro's end and the rest of the gunmen suddenly being disarmed by Power Girl, its easy pickings. Pietro grabs two more and he smiles. "Be right back." and he zips the pair of crooks all the way into the car thats packed out front, smashing them into it so hard they immediately go limp in an unconscious pile of probably broken ribs.

Then he zooms on back by Power Girl. The remaining three men seem to get on their knees in surrender. "Okay okay, you win."

Power Girl has posed:
A tilt of her head, Karen simply shrugs her shoulders after Pietro zips in, giving a little laugh. "Sometime you can avoid the medical bills so..." she trails off, stepping forwards and tapping her earring to set off the autocall for the police dispatch. "As long as these men sit very still until the MPD get here. Otherwise?"
     There's a beaming smile and a ball of metal that had formerly been firearms dropped to the ground.

Quicksilver has posed:
Pietro looks at Karen with a smirk. "Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. But I live making bad guys pay medical. Its like the added punishment." He smirks as the sound of police sirens are heard veering around the corner. So, Pietro tries to scoop Karen up in his arms all playfully. "Shall we, M'lady?"

Power Girl has posed:
She was wearing a cape, she wasn't exactly the sort to be swept up and she did have a certain -image- to preserve. Giving a little 'check' of her shoulder and then placing her hand against his lips playfully, the woman shakes her head. "I'll meet you there speedy, I'll be sticking around till the cuffs are on."

She pauses, blinking at her words. "On the crim-..you know what I mean."

Quicksilver has posed:
Pietro smiles at Karen. "Sure thing." Then? It?s practically laughter. "Oh, I'm sure I do." He says seductively, asmirk on hisface. Don't take too long!" And then Pietro's gone with a 'voosh' as the fastest mutant goes to Karen's place to lay low and prepare something romantic.

Power Girl has posed:
Nope, she wasn't going to let any criminals see her blush. There was already going to likely be some outright gossip around prisons about her and the mutant now anyway, so the Kryptonian is left waiting and threatening the cowed crooks until finally the police arrive. With a salute, pleasentries and thanks exchanged, the woman in white takes to the air and begins her own hasty trip home, plus or minus a little indirect path. It didn't pay to lead people right to her appartment after all! Touching down on her balcony, she's quick to zip inside and pull her rather noticable cape from her shoulders.

Quicksilver has posed:
Pietro was ready and waiting. When Power girl landed on the balcony, Pietro zoomed right up behind her right when she came inside, offering gentle kisses to the back of her neck.

"Dod the crooks try and pull anything?" Pietro asks her, knowing full well they did not have the means to hurt her. Clearly his goal is to give her a warm welcome home.
