[My post marks the end of the action for our characters, one more post from the both of us after this then we can move into anything else we might have planned.]

Victor teared down the street, aware of police running around him, away from the bomb. He ducked and weaved, firing from the hip at a few of the terrorist that had found them. The police just didn't have the reaction times he and Natalie did. He skidded abit, his focus on the end of the street, if they could make it there they might be safe from the blast. He was about to ditch his gun, lighten the load, when he was pulled off balance, the only person in existence able to do that is Natalie. No one else would be able to do that, perhaps some mythological strongmen, Heracles comes to mind, Atlas perhaps who holds up the world in Greek myth. But in modern day Earth, almost not one could budge him if he didn't wan to be moved, a large group of men perhaps pushing with every bit of strength they could sure. But only Natalie could throw him around with some ease. So wen he suddenly sails off balance, doing a twist in the air to get upright and lands behind a car he knows who did it. He then found himself under Natalie. He was about to ask what the hell she was up too.

Then the world shook, a roar built to an incredible crescendo. A deep red light followed by a baleful white bloom. And heat, much heat.

The bomb ripped the front facade of the police station off, the building it was directly in front of was blasted back off it's foundations and laid sagging against the building behind it. Cops were ripped off their feet as the pressure wave roiled down the street, punching some of the closer cars and trucks into the air, the others getting rocked back before coming to rest abit. Two vehicles parked right beside the bomb truck are kicked up into the air and almost incinerated on the spot. This same scene played out in other parts of the city, with other bomb trucks going up.

After the explosion cleared Victor looked up at Natalie, "You okay babe?" He checked her over quickly. And was about to try and get up when someone shouted in pain. He looked over to see an armed unit of the terrorists making their way down the bombed out street. Firing on the cops who were trying to find cover. They exchanged small arms fire. One of the terrorists spotted the two giants and turned to level his LMG on them. Victor tried to wriggle himself and Natalie further into cover. He snarled, he didn't want to go out this way. He tried to reach his gun next, which had fallen out of his hands. But it was too far away.

The terrorist drew aim, then shots rang out. Victor was sure they were about to die. When the terrorists dropped, and black armored SWAT and belgian camo dressed soldiers appeared, giving each of the terrorists another two shots to the chest each to make sure they were down. They progressed down the street, a SWAT van rolling down the street they just came off of and disappearing further down the road. An IFV rolling by behind it. Victor groaned, and gently rolled Natalie off him. Hugging her, as one of the SWAT cops reached them. He knelt beside them, pulling his helmet off, "So you two are the giants huh? Survivors at the plaza told us about how you blunted the first wave." The SWAT officer looked down the road, "Nine more trucks like that went off, killing hundreds. The rest were duds. or we got there in time to defuse them. You both are heroes you know. Saved lives." Victor looked up at the man and nodded, "Sure...is there a safe zone we can head too?" The SWAT officer nodded, "Sure, 4 blocks over, that's where we're taking the survivors and people we've recovered. You can head there. The Guard and SWAT were mobilized just after the first metro explosions. We'll mop up the rest."

Victor nodded, getting up and offering to help Natalie up. The SWAT officer got up and started shouting orders to the cops in the area, getting them moving to help the civvies. Victor looked around the street. Looking at the debris, and carnage. He growled, "Perth is going to have something for us to work on I think after this babe..." He looked down at Natalie, hoping she had the same line of thought he did.
