Up to this point the heist was going smooth all things consider. The drill was nearly through the vault and in moments it would be open and the riches of the bank will be theirs. And now some fancy looking asshole has come strutting with some floating machine guns in asking for a part in the heist. And by extension a part of the loot. After the man introduce himself High Voltage turn to the horse masked man who was frozen in fear, [color=4169E1]"I got this guy just get that vault open."[/color] Before the horse masked criminal could stop him he walked up to jack. [color=4169E1]"Alright listen here you suave baster you can't just roll in here and demand a part. You should have join the plan on the ground floor. So, you got two option carry your ass out or I am gonna throw your ass out."[/color] he punctuated the point by arc electricity over his arms.

So this fellow was the leader. An Epic, by the looks of it, and his power had something to do with electricity. Probably just simple Electrokinesis, but there are many specialities within that area. It was a rather dangerous ability to be faced with, but the Jack's suit had been enchanted with the ability to ward off electricity. That defense had a limit on how long it could remain active, of course, but he wouldn't need long. Having analyzed the situation Nikitovich decided that he was not intimidated, and simply smiled.

"I suppose I'll have to thank you for the compliment, although I cannot return it. However, I would recommend not starting a fight you can't win." This person looked headstrong. It was unlikely that he would be intimidated by words alone, but if this turned into a fight then his whole plan might fall apart. He was here to recruit, after all, not pick fights. "How about we do this the easy way. I'm sure even you don't want an extended fight, do you? After all, even if you win, you can't spare the time." the Jack clasped his hands, as if making an offer. "How about we agree to make this easy for everyone involved? I'm not after the money, anyway. Rather, I'm here to offer you a job. I'm in need of.... foot soldiers, and you seemed capable enough."

The electric mercenary was ready for a brawl with the Jack. But he was not expecting to receive a job offer. [color=4169E1]” I am in the middle of another job currently,” [/color] High voltage turn to looked at the drill noting that it is nearly through the door. [color=4169E1]” So what does this job entail and how much does it pay?” [/color] he asked the vault was cracked open behind him. The robbers quickly ducked into the vault to start collecting the loot and to get out of the line of fire between the two villains.

"And that job is going swimmingly." the Jack glanced around approvingly. "Of course, if it wasn't for the uprising in another part of the city you'd probably be hip-deep in heroes right now, but timing is an important skill." With a gesture, he produced a note from his sleeve. It was covered in strange scribbles, runic-looking text that covered every inch of the paper. He flicked the paper at the mercenary, where it immediately attached itself to him. "For the next minute, you have superhuman strength. Try it out, if you want. You should have about 10x the strength of a normal human being, for the duration." He'd spent a while crafting that thing. It was short-lived, but effective. "I can pay you in a way no other employer can. I possess the ability to both enhance your pre-existing abilities, or to grant you new ones. Permanently. An increase that will serve you for the rest of your life. Or, alternatively, I could just pay you in normal money." Some were just obsessed with cash, after all.

‘So that explains why nobody has come by yet,’ High Voltage he though as Jack produce a note from his sleeve. Before he could ask what the note was Jack toss the note at him. The note latched onto the merc. As the note attached to him he felt his strength surge immensely. Deciding to follow Jack suggestion he walked over to a nearby ATM machine and with effortless ripped from the wall. Toss it onto the ground he thought over Jack offer. He quickly came to his decision, with Jack power he has a way to the top. To be the top mercenary on the planet quite a fair deal if you as him. “You got your merc sir. Turn me into one of those thunder bolt throwers of old and I am your man.” He said as the enhancement faded away.

The Jack smiled beneath his mask. "Excellent! So glad that we could reach an agreement. Well then, I will leave you fine gentlemen to your business." He made another short bow as he backed out of the room, already thinking of his next move. "I have business to attend to elsewhere. But when you're finished...." As he turned to leave, he dropped a card. Not a magic one this time. It was akin to a business card, containing the location of the normie appartment the Jack used as a base. "I will see you later."
