As the battle raged on below, Manny did his best to pull out as many zip ties as his hands could carry. "Man, I knew buying these in bulk would be useful in the future." The man muttered to himself as he restrained the thugs' hands behind their backs and their legs together. When he tried to tie the shapeshifting drug peddler, he was surprised to not see the villain on the floor. Manny began to panic as he thought the group's first ever villain arrest had escaped their grasp in the heat of the battle with Bucur. But after scanning the area again he finally notices that Façade had snuck up on him and, worse, procured himself a mean looking switchblade. Without any hesitation, a quick stab was given to the Latino Man.

The blade pierced his unarmored forearm without any resistance, forcing the man to drop the case of Diamond Dust inhalers. "GAH FUCK!" [color=gray]"I...I may not be...getting out of here free..."[/color] Façade wheezed out an unsteady breath. Bob's earlier attack had broken a number of his ribs and made it exceptionally hard to breathe and much more to talk. [color=gray]"But...I'll kill your bitch...ass before that...happens."[/color] Bucur may have been in pain and occupied preventing from bleeding out, but the sight of one of his attackers caused the big man to let out a guffaw. [color=green]"Told you wannabe...guh...you're fuckin' dead."[/color] He was hurt and it was a 1 on 1 fight with an armed villain. Guess he'd take a little longer before he could help his comrades down in the dance floor against the behemoth of a man.

In the dance floor, it was made painfully obvious that despite their 100% they were doing superficial damage to the artificial super. Akin to a bear fighting against two cats. The muscles swelled to the point that even the lacerations of Bob's claws and Talia's razor tipped ribbons seemed to only irritated the drug crazed man. Blinded by rage, Bob failed to evade a big meaty hand that grabbed his arm and nearly popped the arm from the socket as he was thrown off. From clawing away at the meaty back of the brute to suddenly having his vision blur as he careened to Talia. Bob would have a heartbeat's time to do something before he hit the woman.

Talia knew that Link would be relatively safe behind the bar if she and Bob fought the overdusted brute head on...but that was quite a tall order, but with the sight of the Jersey Devil's brutal heroics inspired the woman to fight back...but sadly to little effect as the hulking brute tanked the damage and even managed to use the masked hero as a projectile against Talia from her position. She could try to catch him but that would damage her while mitigating Bob's damage received. Alternatively she could dodge out of the way, saving herself but would cause Bob to slam into the bar and likely to severe injury...if not outright death.

Decisions, decisions...
