[center][h3]Mission #1, Encounter #2 - Stairway To Heaven[/h3][/center] Making their way through the bank Flare and Heretic could hear the sound of movements coming from the garage up ahead. Signalling his colleague with a wave of his new flaming firearm Flare indicated to the demon boy to take up positions either side her the door, ready to breach it in a proper military manner. A moment later Heretic kicked the door in with demonic strength before Flare spun around the corner and into the large room, only to find Brick standing in the middle of the otherwise deserted parking area. "Where the hell are they?" The rocky faced rumbler growled waving his hands with agitation before bringing his fist down on the bonnet of one of the armoured trucks, denting the heavy plating and setting off an alarm which began to blare loudly. Upstairs Bumblebee hovered several feet back as Rocksmith reached for the door to investigate the noise his companion had heard. Before he got a chance to open it though Gungirl 1 leapt through, causing the musical maestro to stumble back, blocking Bumblebee's line of fire just long enough for Gungirl 1 to rip out a seductively powerfully chord from her guitar which echoed down the hallway to where the SWAT Officers were standing with their backs to the heroes. Before either of them could react the two Gungirls darted down the hallway, running passed the SWAT Officers who reached out trying to grab the girls, but not in the professional, dedicated manner of police officers trying to make an arrest, but as fanboy groupies would to a sexy young rock goddess who'd just manipulated their minds with melodious mischief. "Stop them!" Gungirl 1 called back over her shoulder as she disappeared into the roof access stairwell, and obediently the SWAT Officers raised their MP5s, levelling them at Bumblebee and Rocksmith as they prepared to fire. Hearing the commotion on the upper level Nightingale quickly darted over to the bank counter and grabbed the Smoke Bomb which was still lying there. Reaching into her medical kit she pulled out a grapple launcher, and with one quick action launched herself into the air, landing gracefully on the upper landing. Quickly tossing the bomb down the hallway Nightingale filled the enclosed space with think, blinding smoke for a moment as she turned to her companions. "Get to cover!" [hr] Nightingale, Bumblebee and Rocksmith are trapped on the upper floor by three SWAT Officers while Brick, Flare and Heretic are down in the garage and Sigma is standing in the main hall. It will take at least one turn for any of the heroes to move up to the top floor and help engaged the SWAT Officers, meanwhile the Gungirls are escaping to the roof. There's no way up the sides of the secure building, and the only way to get to the roof would be to fly or use the roof access stairwell currently blocked by the SWAT Officers. Surprising the heroes Gungirl 1 uses Beguiling Tune to mind control a group of SWAT Officers before escaping with her partner.

There's no safe way down without injuring themselves gravely and their best option is to find a way to deal with the SWAT Officers quickly and follow the Gungirls up to the roof.
