Carl

Carl took a deep breath, quickly responding. Confrontation had never been his strong suite, but the fact that the agents were dead and his friends were alive meant the stranger was unaligned- he tried to pretend that the unknown interloper was a random client, blocking out the rest of the world as he lowered his glasses. The user was far away, he ignited the dropped wrist computer the dead officer held and concentrated on another nearby device that had sent a new device, or another Technopath. “Cyberlinguist, Technopath, or a good hacker?- and this isn’t your concern, if no one intervenes no one else gets hurt.”

The computer screen text then seemed to delete itself. Then showing. "All of the above. And this is very much my concern thank you very much, Carl." A look at the broken glass from the sniper rounds doesn't seem to reveal the sniper's location. Definitely an enhanced. But unlikely to be the Technopath. The computer screen text then disappears again and shows. "So I will repeat my question. What do you want Reaper? What is so important in that vault? We do not want to fight you. But if we must we will." The drone's laser that was working on breaching the vault suddenly stops. Mettle can see a camera slowly turn to face her. It's watching intently.

Carl
Carl took a deep breath as he motioned to the twins, hopefully they wouldn’t see as he pointed towards the sniper, allowing the pair to duck behind cover. “Like I said, not your concern- even I don’t know what the hell is in that thing.” He responded as he remotely rebooted the drone, shitting it down for a moment before it could return to normal. He was about to send a message to Mettle and Warren when a shot rang out, he could already recognize the distinctive sound of Security Agent Gunfire. Shit, Agency’s here
Eddie Gears
Two marksman detachments watched the building from the two tallest buildings, the rebel occupants dead. Each team had a sniper duo, one using tools to measure harder shots- re other pulling the trigger while for more patrolled each building. This was all protocol, protocol that Eddie had painstakingly observed and planned for- luckily, they where horrible at changing their tactics. Eddie faded into the shadows of the abandoned office building, walking past the charred marks that had been left since The Outbreak, before he spotted the first guard. The Agent has a flashlight on the end of his rifle, searching the area for recent signs of entry. Eddie quickly Jumped to the other side of the room, a quicker and safer way to move around, but was based on light of sight and a short amount of space. He raised a knife, knowing that any noise may alert the upper floors. He stalked behind the guard, careful to watch his movements until he was right behind him, quickly covering his mouth before stabbing into his jugular, thrusting the knife trough his neck as he fell to the ground, blood spraying from the wound as he gurgled, unable to make any other noise. Eddie moved on, taking the others out with his baton before finishing them with the suppressed pistol. He peeked through the door of the last floor, the sniping duo not noticing as he creeped forward, before throwing his blade into the sniper. His partner turned, but before he could react Eddie dropped him with the pistol, quickly disabling the rifle before fading into the shadows and hunting the next team in the building across.

Several shots rang out. Around 5. Then the sound of bodies hitting the floor is evident. Then more shots rang out. 2 shots. The other security agency marksman team is dead. The text on the computer then changes once again. "In that vault is something we seek. You will allow me to get it or give it to meb if you cant." Right then Carl can see a red dot on his neck. It's coming from the sniper but where the sniper is remains unknown. The text on the computer then changes again. "Do we have a deal Reaper?"

Jais
She was positioned on the roof of a nearby building. She was underneath where one of the marksmen detachment was. Until she shot them in the head that is. It was night so it was fairly dark and she picked a quiet location. Using her powers she would nearly (maybe even be) invisible. Alisa had effectively connected herself to her helmet with all its fancy shit on it. She then whispered barely audible. "If he moves I blow his head off just so you know." There was silence for a second or two then she heard Alisa through her helmet. "I don't want to make more enemies as it is. The Security Agency is already a chore to handle." Jais remarked "Fair." She was simply crouched with her bipod keeping her sniper steady. She then saw movement out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head a bit and saw Eddie Gears aka Abyss. She then said in a somewhat concerned but professional tone. "Techie we got one outside," Alisa responded almost instantly. "Security Agency? Reaper?" Jais observed for a few seconds then responded. "Negative on Security Agency. Possible Reaper." Alisa then responded with a strange authority. "Blow their head off if shots fire." A few more moments of silence went by. Then Alisa said in an almost ecstatic tone. "Squads 1 and 2 are in position," Jais responded quickly and coldly. "Affirmative. Eta for 3 and 4?" A second or two passed by then Alisa replied. "30 seconds," Jais spoke once again. "Affirmative."

Alisa
Alisa herself was one of the "civilians" currently held captive by the twins. To anyone else, she looked normal and nothing suspicious was happening. She didn't speak, she seemed fearful and shock appeared on her face when shots were fired. But that's because she was using her copies to convey messages and do things. She could see everything they saw. Whenever they spoke it was by her command. She was at the maximum number of copies (20). Well, that was until one died. Squads one and two were tactical squads. Long story short they "borrowed" some equipment from the security agency. And bought some stuff off the black market. When she commanded they would rush into the room guns blazing. But we didn't need that yet. Squads 3 and 4 were a bit more specialized. Squad 3 was heavy weapons. Squad 4 was the cyber squad aka the one talking to Carl right now. Squad 1 was covering from behind. And Squad 2 was in the bank already. Squad 3 was almost in position. Squad 4 is almost in a position to provide support if needed.

Squad 2
The 5 members quickly but quietly moved through the building. They stopped as they saw a Security Agency patrol march past them. Then sneaking up behind them and shoving knives into their necks. Covering their mouths as they silently screamed. Then snapping their necks. And slowly pulling the knives back out. Then hiding the bodies. They then stopped at one of the doors and got in a position to breach it. On the other side are the twins and Carl.

Eddie took a deep breath, making sure his rifle was secure before jumping. The world soared as Eddie leaped between the two buildings, having luckily chosen the higher building to attack first as he landed on the roof, falling into a roll as he tried his best to shield his self from gravel and the impact of jumping several floors into rock and steel. He pulled his rifle from his back as he quickly hooked a cable to the harness on his suit to the roof, beginning to descend down the building when he heard gunshots. Eddie ran along the side, fearing he had been spotted as he lowered his goggles, switching to Thermal until he saw the shapes of bodies laying in puddles of warm blood. He quickly broke through the window, using his baton to weaken the ancient material before hiding behind a desk. The room was surrounded with windows, stopping any shadows from pouring into dark areas while also leaving him open to enemy snipers.
Carl
Carl panicked as he saw the sniper dot appear on his chest, motioning towards Jenna who froze, trying to find a way out as he showed the message. Only Warren knew what was inside there, supposedly having bought the information from Wanderer, but there was a chance he had lied- but there was no other reason she knew what was inside. No can do- We’ve planned this for months, not going to loose money on an opportunist who grabbed a sniper rifle from the assembly lines.

Carl froze when Jenna pulled him under the desk, her sister also hiding there. He expected gunfire when he saw it, a projected image of Carl and Jenna talking, he could even hear there words, no way to show this was a fake. The illusion had also covered the escape, but he couldn’t help but find it how creepily realistic his double was.
Graham
Graham creeped through the abandoned buildings of the Northern Side, following the sounds of gunfire. Graham knew that most would have the common sense to avoid a gunfight, but the gunfire would attract Security Agents and a way out of this mess. He had secured Rig’s gear, glad to have the corporal issue Rifle, Carbon Fiber Under-armor, and other useful equipment, his uniform still caked with blood and grime. Graham finally repacked the bank, finding chaos. The street in front of the bank had collapsed, he could see hostages outside the window and there where who knows how many unison party’s running around. He didn’t notice as he approached the snipers line of sight, still dazed by the chaos of what had been another patrol.

Jais
"Talk to this one some more Techie. I want what's in there as much as you do." There was silence for a second as she turned off her targeting laser. Alisa then replied. "Will do. There's two of him I see them under the desk and another one of him talking." Jais nodded in response. An illusion. The question is which one is him and which one is the illusion? But then she spotted Graham and Abyss. She quickly fired off two shots at Graham. One quickly hit him in the chest and the other in the leg. She ignored Abyss for now unless he interfered. She then aimed her sniper to cover Alison.
Alison
The computer screen once again changed into text. "We will not engage you unless you want to engage us. We desire something in that vault. Allow us to collect it we will have no issues. You got your information from The Wanderer. Think that coincidence?" She was watching everyone in the room. Hidden at her side is a pistol if she needs it. She then slowly stood up and said. "We don't want to fight you Reapers. We just want the vault." She then revealed her pistol in its holster and took a position to take it out if needed. Jais would fire shots if things got bad. She had on a hologram mask. Making it seem like her face but in reality, it was someone else.
Squad 1
They were positioned at a side entrance. One of them spotted Eddie and another spotted Graham. They got in position and pointed their rifles. But maintained silence and their position in cover. They were to maintain their position as a secret. They had stolen their equipment from a nearby armory.
Squad 4
They were on the floor underneath Jais with (probably) way too much stolen Security technology. Ranging from radios, computers, recorders, and more. One of them picked up a radio and sent a signal. Using audio recorders they were able to mimic the voices of officers. "Training is being conducted at the bank. Urban combat training. Something top secret. Advise all personnel to avoid the bank." One other team member did the same pretending to be another officer. One of them was cycling through the agency's computer networks and diverting patrols and security systems.
Squad 2
They were strangely frozen in place. Ready to make sudden movements and breach the door if needed. Most of them had rifles. But one of them also had a GL (Grenade Launcher) and one had a breaching shotgun. But then they suddenly start moving. One tests the door and finds it unlocked. If anyone's paying attention they would notice the door handle go back and forth for a moment.

Graham
Graham fell to the ground, the breath knocked out of him as he lay there for a second, feeling some blood pool around him. After a second, Graham crawled into a building, leaning against a wall before he tried to stand up on his own. The bullet hadn't hit anything important, but he would be slowed down for now. Graham took off the under armor he had taken off of Grahahm, true to its design it had folded around the bullet, only leaving a bad bruise. Graham quickly opened his medical supplies, cleaning and bandaging his leg while applying a paste to his chest. He stood up after a moment, taking a swig from his flask of water before walking through the building. Because he was on the first floor of a building that was already out of the way of the sniper. He pulled a light from his utility belt, checking the area before moving on. The area was abandoned, but he froze when he saw a humanoid shape. upon closer inspection, Graham Relaxed before realizing what it was. He stumbled back, covering his mouth as he stared at the corpse. The poor bastard had died of Bolts, a strange drug that had started taking over the streets of the underground. The stuff was mysterious, some theorized it was made by high-ranking gang members, others stolen or planted Security Agency Projects. All anyone knew was that it was some sort of mutant strain of highly advanced Nanobots, made for some medical purpose. It was common to use nanobots for a lot of issues like cancers and infection, but this acted like the virus that its antibiotic predecessors fought, taking healthy cells and turning them into machines. He could see this clearly on the body, metal growths covered the body, rusted but still spreading, even starting to cover the wall the corpse leaned against. Graham quickly reported the infection and moved on, past a wall of scorch marks to the window opening to the other side of the building, pulling out an emergency beacon. He had planned not to use it in case Lex was apprehended, but he had no choice- people were in danger. Graham took a deep breath and fired the flare into the sky before running in the other direction in case someone traced the line of fire, the blinding red light illuminating the area and distracting everyone while telling the Agency that there was a level 3 threat in the area.

Eddie Gears
Eddie covered his eyes as he was bathed in an angry red light, quickly ripping off the gas mask so the enhanced vision it gave him didn't cause any damage, knowing that any unprotected gear would be rendered useless for an hour or two after being exposed to the flare, even Security Agency Equipment. This was good, the sniper would be temporarily blinded and would be nigh-impossible to hit him. Eddie still kept the lower portion of his mask on, wanting to ensure his identity stayed hidden as he ducked out of the cover. A bullet flew past his head the second he moved, likely hindered by the sudden light. Eddie dove to the ground as more bullets shattered the glass. Eddie hadn't expected a second sniper team to be here, but he would have to deal with them now. Eddie quickly ran down the hallway, behind a wall that would hopefully break the line of sight, unless the snipers had managed to keep the thermal vision on their scopes intact. Sure enough, a bullet flew behind Eddie. These were likely an extra team, the rifles kept in a case in case the others failed, less experienced but their equipment would still work. The area was still too bright to move through with the flare hovering above the street like a second Sun, the sounds of Agency Air and landcraft approaching getting close.

Eddie pulled a second cable from his gear, reaching the area he had been looking for, an area that had partially collapsed, the walls caved in and fallen into the street below in a pile of rubble. Eddie quickly tied his cable to the roof before jumping. Bullets flew past him as he soared to meet them. Eddie burst through the window, shielding his face with one hand as the shards harmlessly bounced off his jacket before landing in the snipes building, where unfortunately the entire detachment had been gathered, a dropped deck of cards behind them as the others scrambled for rifles. The first enemy charged with a knife, Eddie, tired from the running fired at the first enemy, the sniper before trying to disarm the charging officer.

Eddie gripped the knife holding hand by the forearm, immediately met with the officer throwing his sidearm across the room. Eddie didn’t realize until a few moments that the mans wrist was free, twisting his arm until the knife dug into the arm. Eddie cried out in pain as he pulled the officers own sidearm from its holster, firing one shot into the mans head before the weapon shutdown, not recognizing the biosignature of the man who held it, an advanced and mysterious technology that could resist even hackers and technopaths. Eddie pulled the knife from his arm as it began to heal, throwing it at the last guard. The man crumpled to the ground when Eddie turned to the last sniper, immediately met with a bang.

Greta
Greta grabbed the tablet from Carlos, muttering something about this stuff being the reason she dumped him before responding Fuck off Bitch Greta watched the sniper through a nearby reflection before peaking out of the desk to flip her off for extra measure, ready to duck when she saw her move in the reflection.

Jenna sighed, walking over to pull her sister down. “Quit fucking asking for it- if you keep doing this shit your going to get a bullet in the head.” She hissed before she heard a gunshot, and her sister hit the ground. Greta was a bloody mess, shards of the bloody helmet littering the floor, lingering with pieces of her skull. That bastard had blown her head off. Hen screamed as she slammed the ground, standing up to glare at the direction of the woman who had surely killed her sister- her only family. She threw the tablet aside, the communication broken. Before Carlos could respond she punched him in the jaw. “Shut the fuck up- we are grabbing that Sparking vault and leaving- but if we come across that bastard- they are as good as dead.”

Eddie

Eddie looked at the building in horror, able to see one of the twins limp bodies as she dragged another Reaper away. Eddie hadn’t known the twins well, but considered them friends. He panicked, wondering which one had died as the sniper spun his firearm at him, preparing to finish of the despairing vigilante as he remembered the last time- not again- Not fucking again. Eddie kicked the rifle aside after appearing beyond the sniper, gripping his arm in a deadly grip before breaking it, ignoring the scream of pain as he threw him to the ground, tears filling his eyes as he began punching him, stopping only when the begging stopped. Eddie grabbed the man and walked into a nearby shadow, before fading into the darkness. The Thing still waited, Eddie threw the man to its feet as it studied Eddie’s face curiously. Sure enough, it’s eyes where filled with a sudden madness as it dove at the broken man, tearing off limbs and spraying blood everywhere. Eddie didn’t need to watch to know what would happen next, leaving while the abomination fed.

Alison
Alison clicked something on her shoulder. "Engage. They won't give us the vault. Shoot to kill." And with that Squad 1 breached the door. The one leading to the entrance (aka where basically everyone is.) They had on masks and fired at anyone (but Alison) who was armed. Alsion herself quickly ducked behind cover as she took her pistol and opened fire. The member with the GL fired a grenade into the area where the drone was. And then fired a few more into pieces of cover.

Jais
Her scope was out as were her goggles so she turned them off. She then fired some rounds over in the entrance area. Aiming for the twins and Carl. They're fucken accurate for having no scope. She then hears someone behind her she spins around and fires. Headshotting a security agent. Then resuming her sniper spot and firing on any Security nearby.

Squad 3
Stay in position. They are surprisingly well hidden behind cover. A few of them opened fire on Reaper agents and Security agents. They were accurate. Well for HMGs anyway. Overall though they didn't have much to do until the Security agent reinforcements arrived. Their job was to open fire on the reinforcements and steal anything profitable and capture anyone seemingly important.

Squad 2
They quickly got in cover positions. They were to fire on anyone or anything that got in Squad 3s blindspots. That and zip in steal stuff and zip out with Squad 3 providing cover fire.

Squad 4
Squad 4 was hacking into communications and electronics. They diverted some Security assets they knew they could disable and steal. But managed to keep out the more elite Security forces.
 
Explosions of colourful light screeched through the night sky loud bangs echoed through the silence followed by another shower of light. “It’s beautiful isn’t it?” Lex turned her gaze away from the fireworks to see her mother had joined her outside. She felt a strange pain in her chest but couldn’t place it, Lex nodded in response turning to admire them once more. “I wish they would set them off every night.” she added quietly. Another set of bangs went off and Lex waited staring into the night sky, but no lights came. Her brows pulled together in confusion and she turned towards her mother. All colour had drained from her mom’s face, she was clutching her ribs blood pouring out from under her fingers. “Mom?” Lex gasped watching as she collapsed to the ground in front of her. She opened her mouth to scream but no sound escaped, she couldn’t breathe the world began to fade around her until it all went dark.

Lex’s eyes shot open gasping for breath as her brain raced to process her surroundings. She was still sat huddled in a dark alley, her heart felt like it might beat out of her chest. The sound of gunfire made Lex flinch her mind racing back to the image of her mother’s pale face from her nightmare. She rubbed her eyes with the palms of her gloved hands trying to collect her thoughts. The shots sounded like they were just a couple blocks away but there were enough of them that she could tell something serious was going on.

Against her better judgement Lex pulled herself out of the alley she had hidden herself in and began towards the sounds of the shots, she didn’t want to get too close but couldn’t help her curiosity. The sudden sound of rushed footsteps behind her caused Lex to duck into an abandoned building. She peered out spotting a group of five security agents headed towards the shots, they were splitting up to check the alleys and buildings along the way. Spinning around Lex tried to find a place to hide but it was too late, one of the agents scanned a light across the room coming to a stop when it landed on Lex. “Hey!” He called out, his voice was rough and dripping with authority. She was frozen in place and weaponless other than the baton that Graham had given her which she still held in her hand. The agents light panned to the baton and Lex knew instantly she was in trouble, she moved fast diving to the side just as the agent fired. Pain ripped through Lex’s side, the bullet having lodged itself in the left side of her stomach. She screamed out her eyes glowing a brilliant green, the agent aimed again finger on the trigger but his weapon clattered to the floor as he fell to his knees his own scream drowning out hers. The shout stopped as the man passed out seeming to have been overwhelmed by the pain inflicted by the injured girl.

Lex had to focus, she pushed the pain away but knew she wouldn’t be able to hold it off for long before the drain from not only her powers but blood loss would become too much. She pressed the sleeve of her sweater against the bullet wound and scrambled to her feet taking off in the opposite direction of where the agents squad would be entering. She wasn’t sure how long she had been running, likely only a couple blocks but her vision was already going hazy. Lex stumbled steadying herself against a deteriorating wall. She felt her knees buckle underneath her as she fell to the ground her powers giving way to the pain that flooded through her. She groaned staring up at the sky as blood soaked through her sweater from the hole in her side. A blurry light streaked through the sky and Lex wondering as her vision faded to black whether it was real or yet another nightmare starting.

The Agency has arrived. A trio of helicopters, all bearing different colors watched the precision of agents, some driving in armored vehicles, others on aircraft as more sniper teams and other specialized gathered in their specific positions. Revenant sat in a more armored vehicles, his sword and revolver at his side. Footage of the battle was projected around him, a communications team relayed his orders to the men under his jurisdiction. The Whisperers has been late to the party, taking care of some issues when they where informed that The Reapers and Enhanced Person of Interest #2356-Alpha, or Abyss as he was known as. The vigilante had attacked several Whisperer and other Agency bases over the last few years.

“Your orders are to capture #2356A, send a detective team to investigate any scenes he was in-“ Revenant’s agent said, relaying a previous order to new arrivals, Brute’s team. Revenant detested Brute, he was moronic but a heartless bastard, easy to control- especially if he turned a blind eye toward his faults. Phantom was far easier to control, even if she showed an annoying amount of empathy sometimes- as humans frustratedly did. Revenant used to think like that, before he saw the truth- before he left his human morals, ties, and name. It wasn’t his fault he was like this, but he was what this city needed- and the one to save it from itself. “What are you doing here Director Blaggard?” The Revenant sent to one of the two other supervising aircraft. Constance’s aircraft was more luxurious and fashionable, though there where plenty of hidden defense systems onboard. The second craft belonged to Inferno, and always stayed silent. He didn’t even know the Commander’s name, all who led the division adopted the alias of Commander Grant, their face always covered- only speaking through assistants. The inferno vehicle on the other hand was equipped with the deadliest weapons, along with a complex cloaking system to protect their leader. Revenant didn’t bother to question Inferno’s motives, they never revealed those- but he did wonder, was there a bioweapon stored in the bank.

Revenant himself used banks to store secret weapons, installing his own agents into their staff, incurring this one. That was the reason his sniper team had arrived, alarmed when the hourly update hadn’t arrived. The teams were dead, likely killed by #2356A, or some other subterranean scum.

“We both know you keep artifacts here, so I decided to store some as well- no harm in insuring the protection of my interests.” Blaggard responded, her tone cold but suspicious. No one was supposed to know about his safety deposit boxes, let alone a location. Someone would die for this- Constance has likely rented a space to keep an eye on Revenants own box. He would have to transfer everything by the end of the week since The Underground, and Constance knew about it.

Revenants men quickly sweated the building, half of their force holding the clones at bay while others quickly detained the hostages- anyone of them could be disguised or undercover hostiles of course. Brutus Wales down the bank floor, approaching the vault. A team of Enhanced where trying to break through the re-welder door. “They trapped themselves inside once we breached through the windows, casualties where at a minimum bug now we have to keep the perimeter secure while we flush out the rats.” A sergeant told Brutus, his team replacing the others, their attempts to complain silenced when given the proper paperwork to takeover. The morons had been tying to cut through the whole door to break in, but his tactics were smarter. The men prepare a crate as the team began working on a small hole, a few setting up equipment while others left the room or put on gas masks. “Tell me Sergeant, what do you do when rats infest a building.” Brutus said, not allowing him to reply as he pulled a canister from the crate, the biohazard symbols adorning it making the Security Agents freeze- while his men knew what the gas did, and how effective it was. The men posted around the door in case the rebels tried to escape their fate as Brute checked the vials contents. “You smoke them out.” He said with an evil grin before affixing his helmet.

Graham
Graham stumbled down the corridor of another building, clutching his leg as he leaned against a wall. He felt the pain erupt once he put a bit of weight on the foot- he would need to reach the reinforcing Security Agents before he bled out or his leg left him crippled enough to be picked off. After a moment he adjusted his bandages. Graham was running low, he had not managed to grab much, but it hopefully would be enough to get out of there. Graham checked the rifle, the scope was destroyed by the fall, but he was confident it would otherwise work.

Graham peeled out a window, before recognizing the forces. There was Constance’s private task force, Inferno and The whisperers following them- everyone knew that shit hit the fan quickly once they were on the scene, maybe he could flag down a helicopter.

Across the street, five more men had arrived to the party late. They worked for Midas, respected in The Aurum Gang. Midas has heard something was going on and wanted a chance at any valuables being left behind in the fight. The group was well armed, hardened and some of his best. After a second, Graham rushed out of the shattered window onto the streets, waving his arms frantically to get the attention of any allied forces, not noticing as the men prepared for an easy kill, the marksman raising a rifle, marking a rally on the stock for another kill.

Lex’s eyes blinked open, the sound of gunshots were still in the air but the blinding pain that stemmed from her side was keeping her mind preoccupied. She was used to using her powers to take away her own pain whenever necessary however Lex could tell by the amount of blood pooling around her that she couldn’t afford to waste any energy she had left. Regardless of the pain, Lex was still stuck somewhere she didn’t know, injured, and surrounded by countless ‘shoot first ask questions later’ agents.

She groaned as she got to her feet bracing herself with the crumbling wall, she pulled the small map that the mysterious sniper had given her out of her pocket squinting down at it. Lex knew she needed to find help and fast, but the shop looked too far to reach in her condition. She began down the street wincing with every step, the once abandoned buildings now echoed with noise. The closest of which was a set of footsteps, Lex slinked back into the shadows of a building crouching down to keep herself hidden. Peering around the corner she was shocked to see the same agent she had run into just a while back. She kept her gaze on Graham for a moment debating whether she should approach him or not, on one hand she needed help and he had saved her life before, but they hadn’t left things on the best of terms and he could just kill her or turn her in. Still mulling over her options Lex’s attention was drawn towards movement in her peripheral.

Headed down the street was a crew that she recognized, they worked for Midas and definitely came prepared, whatever it was that was going on it must be a big deal. She watched them raise their weapons pointed just past where she was hiding and immediately turned around to see Graham standing in the middle of the street waving his arms in the air frantically.

“This fucking idiot.” Lex muttered to herself. If she didn’t do something fast then the decision to trust Graham or not would be made for her. She took a deep breath and stopped the pain she was feeling, she would only be able to hold it off for a moment so she moved quick. Sprinting out from where she was hiding Lex threw herself into Graham pushing the two of them into an alley just as shots flew through the air where he had once stood. Lex hit the ground hard but for the most part Graham broke her fall. She rolled off him groaning once more as the pain flooded back through her. She wasn’t exactly sure where to go from here but she wasn’t on the best of terms with Midas so she wasn’t going to take her chance with the heavily armed force behind them.

“We both know you keep artifacts here, so I decided to store some as well- no harm in insuring the protection of my interests.” Blaggard responded, her tone cold but suspicious. No one was supposed to know about his safety deposit boxes, let alone a location. Someone would die for this- Constance has likely rented a space to keep an eye on Revenants own box. He would have to transfer everything by the end of the week since The Underground, and Constance knew about it.

Revenants men quickly sweated the building, half of their force holding the clones at bay while others quickly detained the hostages- anyone of them could be disguised or undercover hostiles of course. Brutus Wales down the bank floor, approaching the vault. A team of Enhanced where trying to break through the re-welder door. “They trapped themselves inside once we breached through the windows, casualties where at a minimum bug now we have to keep the perimeter secure while we flush out the rats.” A sergeant told Brutus, his team replacing the others, their attempts to complain silenced when given the proper paperwork to takeover. The morons had been tying to cut through the whole door to break in, but his tactics were smarter. The men prepare a crate as the team began working on a small hole, a few setting up equipment while others left the room or put on gas masks. “Tell me Sergeant, what do you do when rats infest a building.” Brutus said, not allowing him to reply as he pulled a canister from the crate, the biohazard symbols adorning it making the Security Agents freeze- while his men knew what the gas did, and how effective it was. The men posted around the door in case the rebels tried to escape their fate as Brute checked the vials contents. “You smoke them out.” He said with an evil grin before affixing his helmet.

Suddenly as the Security Agents prepared they came under fire. Machine gun fire. It quickly hit two squads of security agents killing all of them. And forcing others into cover. The machine guns are nestled into a nearby building. Perfect position to open fire on anyone coming to the entrance. Squad 2 then fires at them from the windows and peaks of the side entrances. Covering the machine guns' blind spots and picking off several agents who are too slow. Brutus himself gets shot with a sniper in the back. It's Jais and although she has no scope Brutus is a big ass target.

Alisa
She quickly ran into the room with the vault taking out a minning laser from her backpack. And firing it at the vault. Slowly opening it. "I need like 5 minutes." She called over comms to Jais. Squad 1 was covering her from attackers. Mainly focusing on the Security Agents now. The vault door slowly buzzed and fried. The metal overheating and slowly melting through the vault.

Jais
Her shot on Brutus she could tell hurt like shit. She pulled the bolt of her rifle back and snapped it into place. Then looks for another target. Finding a security agent and quickly headshotting him. He falls to the floor the round goes straight through his helmet. She then pulled the bolt back once more and snapped it back into place. "Not gonna lie this is fun." Her tone then swapped to more serious. "They got a bioweapon out front. Hope you have gas masks." Jais called over the radio and then fired two shots. One quickly hit the bioweapon canister. And the other hit a sergeant right next to Brutus. She then spotted more security agents. Quickly shooting the squad lead in the chest. Then realizing somehow Brutus is still alive. She loaded AP rounds and fired more shots at Brutus. Several hit his legs and a few hit near his neck. There was no mention of a sniper in the mission briefing. And no mention of an organized military force.

Alisa
At the mention of bioweapon, one of the squad members hands Alisa a gas mask which she puts on. Their helmets filtered out biohazards anyway so they didn't need it. Then the vault door swung open. She then turned off her laser and pulled out her pistol as she went inside. Squad 2 covering her from behind.

(il leave you to describe what is within.)

Squad 4
They hacked into the security radio and communications systems. Disabling them quickly and efficiently. The agents on the ground find themselves unable to communicate via radio and other means. They then find their electronic systems unreliable. Smart scopes, huds, smart bullets, and other systems seem to sporadically fail. Then the choppers get hit. Their targeting systems for their weapons fail. They won't even launch or fire at all. Then (if they have any electronic explosives onboard like missiles) they explode without command. The automated defenses are not helping much either. It's a full-blown cyber attack on the systems of the Security Agency. Whereas previously the squad attempted to be subtle that subtlety was gone now.

Squad 1
A few of them broke windows and opened doors. Waiting for a second then bolting out like lighting. Quickly snatching up Security corpses and dropped equipment and bringing it to their position. They are being covered by machine gun fire. And those few security agents who do peak get met with rifle fire. The squad stays in an organized formation as they pick up the scraps. Taking anything seemingly important.

General
The squads seem uncannily organized and methodical. When they fire it's almost like they know exactly where their teammates are and when they fire. And that's because they do. Thanks to Alisa's telepathy each knows where the other is and what they're doing every second.

Graham
Graham had barely heard bullets start to fly when something threw him to the ground, his assault rifle sliding out of reach as he tried to find a weapon to fight the sudden attacker. He managed to get a hold of a lead pipe, better then nothing when he saw Lex. He dropped the pipe, surprised- she could have left him. “Y-You saved me-“ he stammered, lowing the pipe as he saw the rifle, picking it up. “Fuck, broken- just my usual luck.” He said before throwing aside another destroyed firearm. “So what now- I was trying to signal for one of the craft, I think Constance’s private helicopter saw me.”

The vault doors crashed open as a purple gas flowed from the canister, one agent who had survived and was crawling towards the door screaming as the gas burned his skin, slowly killing him as he tried to grab a gas mask off a dropped ally. Ten the vault was broken through, the group found an empty room, an entire wall missing with some random objects were scattered on the floor, likely dropped in the struggle to secure each item. A truck sped down the street, crashing through a group of agents.

Brutus got back up, undeterred as he was fired on, pulling a odd looking sledgehammer before bringing it down on a nearby clone who was injured in combat, her skull shattered completely as gore painted his boots. More agents poured in, some managing to disable the machine gun, ignoring the car.

As the truck sped past another team, they heard a thud, hitting the brakes when they saw it. An android watched them, modified specifically so the Technopath couldn’t take control them. The thing began walking toward the group, before pausing- watching them.

The command vehicles were safe, but all other aircraft exploded, some shrapnel striking the inferno vehicle, its crew navigating it out of reach of another attack. Constance has employed other Technopaths to protect the vehicles armament from a attack like this, the missiles secured before she fired on the street, destroyed one both the clones Manning Maxine guns and agents charging it- she could blame the technopath after all. Revenant jumped from the craft, drawing his sword as he approached the bank.

Jais heard a sudden series of thuds as her escorts fell to the ground, bullets between their eyes, but not a sound. In a building far from the conflict, Phantom viewed the scene from afar, wearing the usual light ending and by heat concealing cloak that left her invisible, her rifle making no noise as she fired on more hostiles, killing the newly arriving gang members.
 
Alison
Upon her clones dying and seeing an empty room, she screamed. More copies of herself were made which quickly took armaments off fallen clones and security agents. Her eyes are full of fury and rage. A signal is sent through her telepathy. "Kill all of them." Within the second the truck found itself under machine gun fire. And a few seconds later exploded from anti-tank grenades. The automation from the truck was hit by EMPs and more grenades. All of which exploded practically in its face. The Inferno command chopper then receives a signal. AA missiles are locking onto it. And then around 3 missiles are launched at the craft. Then they scatter around the craft and separate into dozens of seeker missiles. One hits the command vehicle's rotor. They seem strange. They emit no electronic signature. Preventing many systems from neutralizing them. One of the Squad 2 agents hands Alison a combat kit. And she is quickly seen with Squad 2 heading out of the vault room. She raises her rifle and shoots down several security agents. Squad 2 then quickly opens fire with fully automatic rifles. The one with the GL fires several grenades. Several land at Brutuses feet and explode. Several more land in front of Inferno squads and explode. Their not exactly small either. Several security agents are downed quickly. Meanwhile, at Squad 3 they open fire with machine guns on the Inferno command vehicle and Revenant. They quickly hit the glass where the pilots sit and one bullet manages to make it through. Killing him instantly. Squad 1 continues taking scraps but it's notably more cautious. A number of their squad members have picked up better weaponry and 1 picked up what it would consider a strange weapon. A flamethrower. Which is used to ignite enemy agents into flames. Every electronic (besides the squads, hers, and Jaises) within a block radius fails (unless somehow protected). Alison kneels and grabs a security agent's helmet. She channels her pure rage into her power. The Inferno command vehicle finds itself under a powerful attack. And other Technopaths find it painful to stop her. Extremely.

Jais
She heard the order to kill all of them and knew what it meant. There was nothing there. Hearing the squad below her hit the floor she quickly spun around. Spotting the sniper on the highrise. And firing a shot that narrowly misses Phantom. Jais was good at math... almost too good. Alison could tell her through her telepathy where they were shot from. And using that she was able to determine where Phantom was. Another shot is then fired. Hitting Phantom in the leg. She then spun around once more and fired a shot. It flew through the air and then exploded above a security squad. Rupturing them with shrapnel. Then she spotted Revenant. "Don't get close to Revenant." She called over the radio to Alison. Even when angry she was smart enough to do what Jais said. She then fired 3 quick shots in succession. One hits Revenant. Another hit the glass in the Inferno command vic. Shattering it as it exploded within. And for the last shot she spins around and fires at Phantom. It explodes over her general position. Shattering any glass nearby and sending it flying. She then jumps from her story onto a lower one and uses her powers to maintain stealth.

Eddie Gears aka Wraith
Wraith crouched in the building where he had killed the sniping team. Having grabbed the snipers dropped weapon he locked its sights on Revenant. Rage billowed from him as he saw that monster cut through both the unknown teams of soldiers and Aurumn Gang members, his energy increasing with every kill. Eddie took a deep breath, whispering to the spirits of those he has left to damnation or fates worse than death before he heard a gunshot. Revenant didn’t react to the ordinary bullet, pulling the molten piece from his chest before fading into nothing, alerted to an enemy sniper. Eddie threw the rifle aside, about to run when a spotlight blinded him- a woman floated in front of the building, light emanating from her palm. The Heroes had arrived.

Cosmos stared at the criminal, disoriented by her light. She was surprised he wasn’t on the ground ablaze, as was the fate of most who came across it. She concentrated further, before hearing bullets fly past her. “Vagabond, I told you to cover me.” She said into the headset she wore. She had a pale gown on, or at least that is what others saw. In reality she blended light around the standard Hero’s league uniform. She was answered by a series of gunshots, all hitting their targets. Vagabond never missed, an advantage against snipers- would be useful if the Ravaging bastard wasn’t drunk. “He was keeping an eye on the new kid- that was Grek’s job but he hasn’t showed.” Mercury said over the coms.
“Can’t you just search the Underground- your one of the fastest people in the league?” Alchemy said, her voice shaky as she was undoubtedly hiding behind vagabound and the new guy- She was a plenty powerful healer, able to enhance others for a minute as well, but she’s was afraid of everything- Useless.
“Grek, we need a bit of help- lots of fire.” She said over the cons, hoping that the message wasn’t interrupted by the underground’s distance.

The Revenant was barley visible, sticking to the shadows as he gave information to his men. The information allowed them to get closer, but as ordered- they would capture each clone. Troops loaded tranq rounds, firing a few bullets coated with a sleeping agent, trying to leave the clones alive. He knew that the clones couldn’t be regenerated if they where alive, plus he could deal with the issue better without an entire army materializing every time he cut down the last. “2 Snipers- one has spotted me, Enhanced Ally is dealing with the other one- cloak is damaged, just evacuated to another position, won’t be able to cover you for a few minutes while I set up.” Phantom reported. Revenant crouched near a detained clone, her hands cuffed with a strange material, not allowing any ability’s to be employed. Only Revenants scientists knew how to produce and maintain the material that could disable most enhanced abilities, his not included. A few clones where linger against a wall, Brute leading the men holding them hostage. “Kill them if they approach- other duplicators have run out of energy after creating too many clones.”

Alisa
Every clone captured suddenly died. Once they were disconnected from her telepathy their orders were to die. And so their bodies complied. The shots suddenly stopped. Every clone was dead. Their bodies quickly decayed into nothing but ash. And Alison had disappeared. Then the Inferno command vic pilots suddenly lost control. Their systems were fried. And backup power does not seem to activate. Unbeknownst to many but her and Jais she had snuck onto another level of the bank. Using her powers to avoid detection. She was intently concentrating. Closing her eyes slowly as he channeled energy into attacking the Inferno command vic. Which suddenly found itself firing all of its weapons at nearby Inferno and security agents. Unlike other duplicators, she didn't exactly run out of energy. Well, not in a normal sense. As long as she had electricity nearby she was good for as long as she wanted. She chuckled as she flicked out an item from her pocket. Security clearance for Inferno. With some time she could replicate it. And embed herself within Inferno or any other agency. Her clones before they all died that is had stashed everything important. Other security clearances, good weapons, money caches, valuable armor, electronic devices and one even managed to grab a small sample of the bioweapon used earlier. Even a thorough search would not find it unless you knew where it was.

Jais
She seems to have disappeared into the shadows. With practically every light around this area disabled thanks to Alison she was able to use her powers to great effect. Then Phantom hears a noise. It's not much but it's a noise. Then she hears a pistol behind her. It's aimed right at her head. She hears a voice behind her say. "Weapon down. Cloak off. Comms out." It's clearly changed due to a voice changer. It seems she is far enough away to keep Phantom from punching her yet close enough 1 shot would be sufficient for a kill. "I imagine you are not bulletproof. So unless you want a bullet lodged in your skull I would do what I say." The building was dark and quiet besides her voice. Even if she could turn around and see her she is basically invisible. No would would have heard her come in.

Revenant
Revenant kneeled down, checking the ashes, clearly he had been outmaneuvered. He ignored the aircraft as it fired on his men- he had survived worse. As expected, the agents detonated their own vehicle, killing all of the onboard agents and stopping the barrage. Inferno agents where nonchalant as they gathered bodies of their dead, before throwing them into a pile and setting them ablaze with the special chemicals they carried, all of their equipment turned to ash, unrecoverable. One agent screamed as he was hailed into the fire, both legs shredded by a missile. Inferno never allowed an agent to remain after they were unable to serve, even cadets like this one. His screams were silenced as he was thrown into the flames before the agents started into ranks, walking into the city. He had tried to sent against to follow in the past but they where never heard from again.

Phatom raised her hands as she dropped her rifle, turning off the cloak as she faced the attacker. Her mask didn’t betray a single emotion as she stared at the captor. “Got the drop on me- good for you.”
 
General
Revenant finds the ashes to be nothing more than ashes. Every clone had turned to ash in a mere instant. This is no simple duplicator. Revenant would likely know somewhat about her. No digital records of her exist. But most know her as Techie. A technopath and duplicator. With a keen eye on technology. Likely her objective right now. To steal everything she could.

Jais
"Mask off. Hands stay up." She slowly walked towards Phantom padding her down and throwing any weapons she had out a window. Including her rifle. And taking off her communication device. She then walked back into position. Her face was covered with a cloth cover. Phantom might know a bit about her. Security Agency files mention her a few times. She had garnered the nickname "Silent" and "Hellfire". Both due to her ability to remain unseen and her remarkable accuracy. As for who she worked for if anyone was unknown. What was known is she hates the Security Agencies' guts and allies with Alison from time to time. Her pistol seems to have a suppressor on it and a flash hider. The perfect weapon for a shot to never be seen or heard. "Name, rank, and role," Jais said with a commanding tone to her. Phantom could then hear the comms go on and off. And speak in what seems to be her voice. Alison more than likely.

Alison
She chuckled as they exploded their own vic. She then looked at its rubble and all the varying scraps all around. She quickly made copies of herself. Which disguised as underground scavengers and civilians. And went down to the ground floor. Each armed with suppressed pistols. For now, there are only 10 so as to not be too suspicious. They took anything valuable they could and stashed it away. One found an injured (and unconscious) Inferno agent. Quickly grabbing him and dragging him into a nearby building. Putting a gas on him and restraining him. He will be for later. Alison maintained her position. Mimicking Phantoms voice from the varying words she had said in it in the past. The same way Squad 4 was able to mimic officers earlier.

Lex tensed as she watched the boy grab a nearby pipe her eyes squeezing shut preparing for some sort of impact, but heard him speak instead. “Well don’t sound too shocked.” She muttered sarcastically pulling herself up from the ground with some difficulty still clutching her side. The mention of Constance drained all colour from her face and she swivelled her head towards the sky searching for any sign of the helicopter. Her pain seemed to melt away replaced instead by the deep hatred she had for the woman. “Constance is here?” She demanded her tone changing to an uncharacteristically serious one. She knew firsthand how well protected Constance would be in a situation like this and how unlikely it would be she would get an opportunity. She eyed the boys helmet for a moment, she would need a plan. “Listen I need you to get me on her ship, I know you have no reason to trust me but you’re on the wrong side of this, you don’t understand the things she’s done.” Lex didn’t have much of a plan but she wasn’t sure the next time she would be so close to Constance and she couldn’t let the opportunity slip by her.
