[color=f26522][h3][center]Dex' Schaffner Location: New York City Interactions: None[/center][/h3][/color] [b][center][i]Late Morning[/i][/center][/b] [color=f26522]"Move, MOVE! Venture Hero, coming through!"[/color] Dex' shouts trying to weave through the throng of people crowding NYC's sidewalks in pursuit their target; a measly jewelry thief. It was a woefully inadequate use of someone with their kind of powers, Dex' thought to themselves, but somebody needed to be on call to lend a hand and the suspect had been listed as armed and dangerous. Crisscrossing their way through the streets in pursuit, the chase winds it's way into a rougher neighborhood before coming to a halt in a dead-end alleyway. "What IS it with you.. FREAKS!?!" The robber shouts, a ragged looking man in his late 20's shouts, panting for air as he brandishes a handgun. [color=f26522]"Look, put the gun down, surrender peacefully and I'm sure the cops'll be happy to listen to whatever sob-story got you into this mess."[/color] Dex' says with a sigh, standing at the mouth of the alley. "Just leave me alone! I'm warning you, I will shoot!" The man yells, desperately looking around the alley for a way out. [color=f26522]"All that pea-shooter's gonna do is scratch my armor. Do the smart thing, take the easy way out an~"[/color] [i][b]BANG[/b][/i] Dex' staggers back a half-step, a streak of lead marring one shoulder plate. [color=f26522]"Really? Why does it always have to be the hard way?"[/color] The shape-shifter laments aloud as the robber's eyes widen in terror. With a sigh, Dex' whips up their stun rifle, leveling the sights on the panicked thief. [color=f26522]"My turn."[/color] Dex' says, unloading half-a-dozen stun rounds. Watching the man slump to the ground with a soft moan, Dex' taps their earpiece. [color=f26522]{Shifter here. Suspect is neutralized on my position. Requesting pickup.}[/color] {Acknowledged Shifter. We'll have a patrol car to you in 5.} [color=f26522][i]Well, that takes care of that. With any luck, I can make it back to campus in time for lunch.[/i][/color] Dex' thinks to themselves as they wait for the police car to arrive.
