[color=f7941d][h1]Bust Gone Wrong[/h1][/color][/center]

Solaris had been out since the sun came up, yet despite that didn't seem very talkative as the comms came alive and orders started being handed out. Even the mention of Lunara didn't get much out of her. She was off on her own, so far that one might wonder if she had actually shown up to the HQ in the first place, but given her powers, she could be anywhere in a matter of minutes. But when the word finally came in, a drug bust that wasn't going to smoothly, she stretched her arms to her sides before standing from the park bench she had found herself on. 

With little more than a brief [color=f7941d]"Talk down the angry drug dealers... got it."[/color] And with a flash, she launched into the air, looking like a rocket as her light was visible all across the city. It took her only a few minutes to reach the location, where she found quite the standoff. Police hiding behind bullet-riddled patrol cars, a few armored cars that weren't faring much better, lots of yelling... and of course the drug castle, or whatever it was, from which most of the bullets were coming. In particular, there was a loading bay, and a large group of whoever this gang was had gathered there to hold off the police. 

Lunara shrugged at the situation, and walked forward into the line of fire, which caused everything to calm down... except for one single bullet that pinged off her shoulder armor, making her look down at the scuff mark, and say [color=f7941d]"... Right, so anyway..."[/color] she took a deep breath, thinking of her words. Should she appeal to the good in them or something? Hm... nah. 

[color=f7941d]"Okay, as cliche as it is, we can do this the hard way, or the easy way. The easy way is you all put your guns down, come out, and turn yourselves in, and nobody gets charged with murdering a police officer. The hard way... well look, my power isn't fire. But have any of you ever shined light on a bug with a magnifying glass? Yeah, I know you all have..."[/color] They looked the type, like Sid from Toy Story. Hell, some of them even looked like they could be him but older. [color=f7941d]"So basically that. Any questions, concerns, or random threats for me to disregard?"[/color]

There was, some time of deliberation among the criminals, but they weren't shooting at least. But, after some time... the first handful of people came out, hands in the air, and the police started taking them into custody one by one. It seemed nobody in there was willing to deal with a Super... which begs the question why they bothered with all this in the first place. Dumb desperation?

With a full row of handcuffed criminals, she walked back and forth in front of them all, eyeing them up and down. [color=f7941d]"Now, what exactly did you all think was going to happen. Maybe you kill all the officers on sight, and then what? Another wave shows up? A SWAT team? The military? A super was going to show up eventually, and then what... even if you took them down, that would just get a full response of an entire team cracking down on you."[/color] She didn't understand the criminal mindset. The desperation to make a stand against impossible odds. [color=f7941d]"Look, next time, even though there better not be a next time... just accept when it's over."[/color] She started to walk away, but idly mentioned [color=f7941d]"Oh and by the way, you all are going to be collectively fined for the damages to all these vehicles. Good luck paying that off."[/color] And with a flash, she was in the sky again.

It looked like someone had fired a missile right at SDN, landing right in the parking lot, though there was no big crash or anything, just the fading light as she brushed herself off and headed inside. She heard mention of Lunara needing a pass or some such, and gave the most deadpan response.

[color=f7941d]"Lunara is SDN's problem, not mine. I'm only here as part of the agreement that SDN keeps a leash on her, and I cover the day shift when she's useless."[/color] She was anything but a ray of sunshine on the topic of her opposite. She wasn't her babysitter... but it wasn't the worst deal ever. After all, working for SDN, she was doing what she would have been doing anyway, just now she had more direction than flying around until she saw something happening.
