Alton Schmidt has posed:
Alton...does NOT look like himself. Instead, he wears a Super Costume he has for the occasion. A red and purple number, it's certainly...eyecatching, for now at least. Perhaps he should have the costume worked on later, but for now, it hides his identity. Style, meh, do bank robbers really care how stylish the hero is? The hero IMP is now on the loose, ready to fight crime and bash bad guys. Bad guys who will give exactly 0 f***s about the fact he's underage. A true test of his abilities then. Only when one faces death can mettle be truly tested.

Xiomara Rojas has posed:
    And Xiomara? She's there too- albeit image induced. She's given herself a costume, one of her own design- it's fairly punk. Leather jacket. Leather pants. Her stomach is on display. She's wearing a helmet that covers her face and hair.

    "You know your stupid suit ain't gunna help if we face someone who's worth a shit, right?" she asks over to Alton- clearly not impressed with his choice of technology.

    For her part, she's bare fisted and ready to fight.

    "Let's get this over with. I better not needta drag your ass outa trouble."

Alton Schmidt has posed:
Alton smiles...and hovers off the ground...and a forcefield appears around him. "The suit's not for protection. The forcefield is. The suit's mostly there to hide who I am."

They don't have to wait long for terrible things to start happening though. For all the heroes running around New York, there's equally many villains, and they get up to bad juju all the time. Never an end to it, really.

Because the Vulture (TM) is attacking the bank, with a motley crew of goons, evidently there to steal all the money. They break through, set alarms off with nary a care, and their safecrackers get to work. Vulture actually hovers outside, as if anticipating heroic interference.

"There! Let's get 'em." Alton starts by opening up his magnetic senses, and..."...that's interesting. Vulture flies by using magnetic forces. Bad choice for him today."

Xiomara Rojas has posed:
    "Yeah." Crush replies, just looking over to Alton as she follows behind him- looking to the Vulture. "Let's just get it done and put him in the hospital or whatever." she says, rolling her amber eyes.

    Crush then turns and grabs a street sign. She easily rips it out of the ground, folding the steel to make an impromptu mace. She gives it a few swings, "This'll haveta do." she says, as she takes a deep breath and looks over to Alton. "Well, up and attem, Mister Magnet. I'm mostly here to make sure you don't get your ass kicked."

Alton Schmidt has posed:
Alton flies into battle...and Vulture, as if anticipating something like this...though perhaps not this particular hero. "Great, a new one. I'm not taking it easy on you..."

"Worry about yourself." And Alton takes advantage of just how the Vulture's flight harness works...to launch one of his targeted EMPs at it. The Vulture immediately drops from the sky, and growls, "You'll pay for that, kid..."

Meanwhile, the safecrackers are working busily on the safe. They'll have it soon.

Xiomara Rojas has posed:
    Almost lazily, Crush moves into the bank. She'll let Alton take care of the big-bad for now, "Shout if you need me, Mister Magnet!"

    Once inside, Crush shouts. "Yo, douchebags!" she calls out, as she lifts a desk and then throws it near the safe. It shatters against the wall. "You idiots want a fight? I'll give you a fight." she says as she begins to trot towards them aggressively. Ready to kick the shit out of them. And, indeed, once she gets close enough she tries to grab one and just throw him out the front door.

Alton Schmidt has posed:
Inside, well, the bank robbery and safecracking team does their best, really, but they're only human. Still, they do attempt to attack Xio, mostly with guns. Bullets are fired, and in quantity. Until it's proven to them guns don't work, guns is where they start.

Vulture tries to get back in the sky, but with his suit on the blink, he can only hover a bit. "Get down here kid, I'll make mincemeat out of ya."

"Now why would I want to do that?" A sewer cover levitates from the ground...and goes Zinging at Vulture. He doesn't dodge so well while levitating, so it knocks him back, into the wall of the bank. The manhole cover continues to levitate in the air.

"Mister Magnet, was it? I am going to KILL you."

"Go by IMP, actually. She's just being affectionate."

Xiomara Rojas has posed:
    Crush is quick to finish off the mooks inside- they really aren't prepared for someone who's got her level of power. Guns do nothing. The bullets just flatten and fall to the ground- some even ricocheting from her flesh as if it were armor itself. It's over quickly.

    The men are left hurt, but not dead- Crush doesn't kill.

    She then heads outside, "Mister Magnet, you got this old idiot in hand, yet?" she shouts as she looks over to Vulture. "Ah. Guess not. So you crusty old crapbag. You gunna let my friend bring you in, or do I gotta break your old legs? I knows yer used to people who don't really break yer bones- but...well. I'm Crush, and that's what I do." she says as she looks at him, putting her hands on her hips.

Alton Schmidt has posed:
IMP just grins at Crush, "So, there you have it. You can surrender...the cops should be here any minute now, or you can not, and I'll let Crush live up to her name. Your call really."

"You're stepping into a world you don't understand, kid. I give you about 2 months to live." But, Vulture realizes he's toast and puts his hands up.

Conveniently, the cops arrive right about then to take him and the goons into custody.

Alton does the super hero introductions with, "I'm IMP, she's Crush, we're here to help.

The cop looks at him, and, "You know, you're really too young for this...but I also know I've never been able to stop anybody. Good work, this time."

And with the bad guys in hands of the cops, Alton flies into the night, and he'll meet up with Crush again once she gets out of there.

Xiomara Rojas has posed:
    "Don't tell people my name." Crush says simply as she looks over to Vulture. She looks to the cops. "I'm outta here." is all she offers, and then she jumps- high into the sky, outward and away from where she was. It's almost like watching superman take off. She even leaves the ground damaged in her wake- cracks from the great strength.
