[CENTER][H3][B][COLOR=C18DC3][hr]Priya Khurana[/COLOR][/B][/H3][sub][i]Near Hotel[/i], The Spires, [b]Lilith[/b] | 8:30 PM [/sub][/CENTER][hr] The elevator dinged as Priya drew her firearm. She prepared for the worst. Once the doors opened she stepped out and swept right and left. Nothing. An empty hallway led to the door to the stairs. She made the climb. Luckily, it wasn't a long hike up. She opened the door and peeked. Again, an empty hallway that led to massive doors to, what she assumed was, the penthouse. She was almost upset that she didn't have anyone she could arrest or fight with. She wondered if they were even in the room anymore. That would be a pisser. As she neared the door, she heard the thumping of music and the thumping of...other things. It didn't take a genius to figure out that the hostages in this situation were of the nighttime variety. However, if they were here under pressure, she'd save them. If they weren't, surely the people responsible for all of this trouble weren't just going to let them go easily. Either way, she opened the door quietly. The room was spacious and it reeked of disposable income. She half-expected things to be all gold. She was somewhat wrong, but noticed the gold outlines along the walls. There were two men sitting on the couch with a woman with enormous...personalities that made her look down at her own with displeasure. She was wearing very little, but she didn't appear to be having a good time. She didn't look like your average hooker either. She was young too. That hurt. The guys were egging her on and she did her best to be vivacious, but you could tell she wanted to be anywhere but here. She did a quick sweep. She assumed there were more up here, but she had to make sure these guys and the girl were taken care of. So she stepped across the room before she clocked her gun, [color=C18DC3]"Excuse me boys. Fun time is over."[/color] The girl looked up to see her and, though she let out a small cry and covered her chest (for whatever reason, she was now modest), the two guys got up and reached for their weapons. [color=C18DC3]"I wouldn't do that. I may look like a piece of ass to you, but I am highly trained with this piece. You make one more step and I will use force and this rug is, quite frankly, gorgeous and I would hate to stain it with your blood. Now...guns on the ground and kick them away."[/color] The men sneered at her, but complied. She motioned for them to kneel down and they did so. She waved the woman over and she came, "Thank you! The others are..." before she could finish, she looked over towards one of the many doors and let out another cry. Priya looked over and saw what made the girl go wide-eyed. Some big man was carrying a bigger gun. A shotgun, to be more precise. He was flanked by three other men. A gaggle of girls were behind him, in various forms of dress and undress. The big guy didn't look pleased. "This must be the cop we heard on the radio. Should have left when you had the change, girl." He aimed the gun up and in quick succession of moments she was sure would be slow motion if she were in a movie, she pushed the woman near her to the ground and quickly dove behind the counter of the kitchen. The gun rang out, followed by a few others. She heard soem scrambling and assumed the other two guys were reaching for their guns. Bullets hailed the room. She couldn't return fire. She had to think quickly. Panic was setting in. It was then she heard a message through her comms [color=olive][i]"Detective, Anti-Terrorism arrived. I have no avenue of escape, running would result in my eventual arrest. Anti-Terrorism droid has been deployed, please call them off."[/i][/color] Well at least back-up was here. But now Duos was in trouble and she was about to be killed. That's when she remembered. She had other skills. Surely they kicked in by now. They only ever did when she was in danger and if this situation didn't scream danger, she didn't know what would. The only question was...what power did she get? She looked at her hands. Nothing. She looked around her. Nothing. She felt her body. Nothing. What the fuck?!? The only thing she could do was try to shoot her way out of this. She peeked around the corner and raised her gun. She heard a shot and her gun was sent flying. She felt the pressure on her hand as the bullet hit. She looked at her hand and noticed. No hole. No blood. In fact, it was as if the bullet bounced off of her hand. That was it. She was bulletproof. She could kiss someone. Now she had a chance. She quickly sprang up and ran for her gun. The men fired at her and she could feel a few hit, but they merely bounced off of her. She turned around and aimed her gun. The men focused on her and rang out a few shots. They were easily deflected. "What the hell? We're not hitting her!" "Leave her to me." the big guy said as he raised his shotgun. He fired at her and she could feel it hit her chest. She crumpled forward and clutched her gut. The man smiled, "There we go...what the...!?" Priya stood up and let her arms go as the bullets dropped to the floor. [color=C18DC3]"Ouch."[/color] She aimed her gun and shot, hitting three of the guys as they fell. She was careful not to kill them. She aimed her gun at the big guy, who was still in shock, "What the hell are you?" he said. She merely smiled. [center]______________________________________________[/center] She rounded up the guys and the girls. They were all scrambling around, crying and tearing up. [color=C18DC3]"Ladies, please! I'll have you away safely once my back-up gets up here. We'll get you all home."[/color] She would make sure the boys in blue looked the other way to their profession and got them back to their respective homes. She pinged Duos back [color=C18DC3]"Sorry, I was in a rough spot for a bit there. Things are taken care of though. The girls are rounded up and the baddies are on their way to the station. I imagine we didn't get them all though. The ringleader wasn't here, it seemed. I have some back-up coming up. Not sure if you want to meet them or not, but I told them to let you go. Thanks for the assist."[/color] She left it at that. She didn't know if she would see the man again. Didn't really know if she wanted to. Either way, the night was almost over.
