"This isn't supposed to happen..." Erin whined a little from behind Connor. He turned and saw her looking a little uncomfortable which he knew meant she was hearing a few too many thoughts. He knew John would have to be around somewhere. He scanned the area and noticed there were a lot of police around, plus all the pedestrians that hand gathered to look on. Though they'd be leaving soon when they realised it was just another Super Villain scheme. They citizens of Violet City were far too used to it.
"Focus, and try blocking them out," Connor said gently, trying to encourage her. Though he didn't know much about her abilities worked. He was just trying to help.
"We need to get the hostages out safely Connor," Rebecca said approaching him and Eris. Connor nodded in agreement, that had to be their first priority. Eris volunteered to go through the vents and get the hostages out. It sounded like an all right plan and Connor agreed that it was a job that would get here away from all these people and hopefully avoid John. He listened to Eric's input when he showed up, but before he could say anything the twins arrived, jumping into the conversation in their usual fashion. Arguing.
Surprisingly they didn't need Connor to break them up this time. He handed out the communication devices to the group and got to Max jump straight into the details he'd picked up about the building. Connor listened already formulating a plan or two in his mind. Then of course the twins fell back into arguing.
"Yeah, yeah, you're both great shots,"Connor said cutting them off. Then he wrapped an arm around Alex's head and covered his mouth with his hand to shut him up and stop him responding to his brother's taunt. "Okay. Eris do your vent thing and get the hostages out, there's an entry on the roof, Becca's going to get you up there, right?" He said looking at Rebecca, signalling for her to use her abilities to get Eris on the roof. "Let us known when you've done that and we are free to kick some villain ass."He said to Eris holding out his hand for a fist bump. "Oh and Becca, once you've done that, me and you are going to go check out the explosion and wait for the all clear."
Then Connor turned to Eric and Alex. "You're right, Eris needs a distraction. The two of you need to get in there, take the two watch guards by surprise and get them away from the hostages. Use one of the ways Max suggested or walk through the front door, I don't care." Then Connor stopped and looked straight at Eric addressing him directly, "And absolutely none of the hostages are to be harmed in friendly fire or anything."
"All right, let's go team."
