It had been a perfectly normal day. Classes had run relatively smoothly, and they’d actually managed to get through a sparring session without anybody getting hurt. One would think that in a class of superhumans, this was an impossibility, especially in unarmed combat where they weren’t supposed to use their abilities. You would be very wrong. All of them had to learn some degree of powerless, unarmed combat. For Ollie and Skye, this suited them down to the ground. Their abilities themselves didn’t allow them to fight. Others found it... a little harder.
Their classes were finished for the day, and they were waiting for the call to dinner when the alarm went off. ”Apollo, Beast, Echo, Kronos, you’re all up,” a voice called, seemingly coming from nowhere and everywhere. “A bank robbery. Six hostages, all employees, four perpetrators. Backup will be on site in case it goes south. Urgent response required.” In other words, pretty much no time to change. Ollie and Skye rolled their eyes at each other, already making their way down to the car. Both of them happened to be nearby, menacing they reached the garage before the others. Masks and protective vests were the only gear they were given, but they both stopped to retrieve their weapons of choice. For Skye, a set of spiked knuckles, a knife, and a small handgun. For Ollie, just a set of throwing knives. He preferred to avoid being close enough for punching to be an option, and his aim with a gun was pitiful. Skye had the opposite issue, but guns were loud and messy. It was a backup only.
They piled into the van, already pulling on their vests and masks. “You look like such a stereotypical teenage hero,” Ollie remarked as he looked Skye up and down. “And you look like you’ve mistakenly wandered out of a Starbucks,” Skye retorted with a smirk. She sighed as she instinctively bounced her leg. ”Any inkling on how this is going to go down?”. In response, Ollie only shook his head. “Cool.” was all she said in response.
