Jason turned to look in the direction Tank pointed as the pair began to exit the alley, finding that that strange dog had followed him. [color=92278f]"Oh, that..."[/color] He muttered, glancing up to check the rooftops for any more surprises. [color=92278f]"That's a great question. It just showed up and started following me. I've noticed some odd things about it, I think it might be related to another Variant around here somewhere. Seems friendly enough though."[/color] Overclock tapped his earpiece again, sending a call out to his sister.  [color=92278f]"I'm just going to get in touch with another ally, we need all the help we can-- No Angel, I was talking to Tank, sorry."[/color] He said as Angel's helmeted face appeared on the small screen hovering in front of him. [color=92278f]"Yeah, there's me and Tank down here, you in the sky, I think there's another one of us around here somewhere with a dog..."[/color] Jason trailed off as he saw the truck driving towards the bank and heard the shots ringing out. [color=92278f]"Time's up, we have to go."[/color] Jason growled as he saw the fiery idiot dive down and land on the armored truck. [color=662d91]"While they're distracted; we should get the hostages out!"[/color] He cried out before pulling his hood up and stepping out of the alley, making a beeline for the bank.

Girard raised an eyebrow as Overclock tried to explain the dog at first but figured if it hadn't troubled them yet, not to mention was related to another Variant, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing to have the pooch around. It was when the phone and holo projection showed up that he was pleased because apparently there was more backup to come should they need it. He'd make an effort to remember names after this just in case any of them crossed paths again and it was a bit more polite than 'yeah you there'. He had seen the truck a second or two ahead of Overclock who was briefing his partner a moment before making him move ahead to the edge of the alley before he heard the gunshots as well as the loud crash of the truck presumablely. The big man bolted a bit ahead of his comrade getting ready to make a bit of a noisy entrance through a side wall of the bank, quicker for them to get in that way and plenty big enough to get the hostages out. The two of them could provide cover pretty well since the civies would be funneling through behind them of course something was going to have to be done about the truck as well but that he could handle. "No time for anything complicated, I'll get us in quickly and give them something to shoot at. Get the hostages moving out the new entrance then you can back me up as needed." Tank said relaying his strategy before he picked up a bit of extra speed and made impact blasting clean through the brick wall ending up roughly between the robbers and the terrified hostages. The big man put his faith in Overclock to get the far more important job done while he charged the criminals and the escape vehicle bellowing out a roar from under his helmet for an extra intimidation factor.

[color=92278f]"Right, get them-- Wait, I need-- No he's gone."[/color] Overclock grumbled as Tank began to charge. The smaller man didn't have much power built up, he was going to ask for a boost before Tank had started running. Riding the wake of Tank's trail, Jason dashed through the shocked onlookers, deftly leaping over the police barricades and whooping as he saw Tank in action, crashing through the wall of the bank. Skidding to a halt on the polished floors, Jason made a mental note of where the robbers were standing before moving towards the hostages. [color=92278f]"Alright folks!"[/color] He cried over the noise inside the bank. [color=92278f]"Cavalry's here, time to get you out!"[/color] He held his staff out in front of himself, motioning towards the huge hole in the wall. [color=92278f]"The good officers of our fair city will be waiting out there, just keep your hands high so they know you're coming! Me and the big guy are offering cover, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Variants!"[/color]

Oscar meanwhile, was having a Hell of a night. He'd been in the exact spot where he was stuck between the truck and the Tank, but too far from either to intercept. Yelling in frustration he keyed on his radio and called the officer in charge. [color=0072bc]"This whole thing is blown to Hell! I'm going in, we have to get those hostages out!"[/color] He didn't bother waiting for a reply before tearing the radio off his uniform and throwing it to the ground. He chased after the pair of Variants, feeling his own powers kickstart. The world around seemed to slow as Oscar felt power coursing through him. Speed, stamina, strength, toughness would all be enhanced by now. His reflexes were coming sharper, his mind opening up in new possibilities. Tank; seemingly invulnerable and super strength. Good street reputation for the most part. Despite his size, nobody knew who he was. Overclock; seemingly invulnerable as well, strength seemed to differ between accounts. Leaned a bit more violent than Tank, but never cruel. One possible connection to an unsolved mass murder, but considering the victims it was never pursued. This was the first time the two had been seen together. The outcome seemed hopeful.

Charging into the bank Oscar turned to confront the robbers, stepping up behind Tank. [color=0072bc]"Drop your weapons!"[/color] He bellowed, his voice echoing in the room. [color=0072bc]"Keep your hands where I can see them, nobody moves! You too Tank, and this won't end badly..."[/color] He didn't want to take either of the Variants in. He'd give them every chance to escape if he could. He didn't know if they knew that though...

Angel let out a small gasp as she heard the shots coming from the bank. She listened in to Jason filling her in before turning to address Nevermore. [color=aba000]"We've got allies down there. Overclock, Tank, a dog I guess...? But we have to go, things are happening. Can you get to the bank? I might be able to carry you if you need it."[/color] Angel said, eyeing the distance from their roof to the bank.
