SkyFall didn't have time to respond to Flatline or react to Midnight, though that grim-figure had set in motion a realization. One formed from his very short interaction with Shade Walkers, his insufferable past, and his aspirations. Without a word, he painted an image of resolution; all he did was shift his cloaked body to face the elder villain. 

Shade Walker and Captain East had initiated the mission while Kazuma had facilitated their next moves. SkyFall's exhale sounded more like a dead gasp. 

[color=crimson][b]"Flatline, move with me,"[/b][/color] he told her quietly.

He embodied the arch-being he had imagined the common rabble would see him as, adopting a cold if not completely ruthless air. Silently he stepped through the portal, glanced at the hostages as if they were mere objects, and moved for the main entrance. [color=crimson][b]"I want at least one of you gunmen for cover fire. Keep a vigilant eye on Flatline's blind spots and if you can, [i]if[/i] you can, catch those agents who believe themselves covered."[/b][/color] 

As he passed by a trembling hostage, her blonde head hard into the floor, he snatched her up by the collar single-handedly and moved her to guard his frame; like a good-little meat-shield. He pulled her to his side, ignoring her whimpers and kicked one of the doors off its hinges. The door scraped the asphalt, flipped on its corners thrice, and bounced off the police vehicle before twirling and landing behind it; scattering a three-man team of officers.

He moved the hostage back in front of himself, a dastardly villain with not a hint of remorse in his voice. [color=crimson][b]"Don't run. Stand your ground; fight back, you might even win."[/b][/color] As he said this he bounded forward into the fray, his meat-shield held up and screaming for her life.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
