At the Coffee shop (Front Room)

[Titan]

Billy sits at one of the tables drinking his 5th cup of coffee. he is wearing his standard jacket and cargo pants. his laptop sits at the table in front of him. he is multitasking between catching up on news, making design changes to some experiments of his, and keeping an eye on the door to the back room. he heard about a deal that would go on back there at some point today. he didn't know what, but it sounded illegal. he ordered another cup of coffee and kept waiting.

It wasn't long before suspicious characters started showing up. a tall man wearing an all black suit, sunglasses, and a black hat which he took off when entering. his short black hair was slicked back. he kept the sunglasses on. he was carrying a briefcase. the tall man ordered a coffee, nothing special, just a coffee, and sat at a table only a few feet away.

soon after, more and more similar looking people came in. the only difference was one of them had a larger brief case. the normal people started to filter out. one of the tall men stood by the door, and kept people from coming inside calmly. once there was only a few left, the tall man with the large briefcase went in the back room.

this is my chance, thought Billy. he chugged his coffee, and got up to order another. up at the counter, one tall man was slowly getting closer to the cash register. the man suddenly pulled out his briefcase and unfolded it into a camouflaged assault rifle. he pointed it at the cashier, and chaos broke loose in the store. while the citizens still in the restaurant ran for cover screaming, Billy pretended to be one of them and jumped behind the counter. under the counter, he tore off his jacket and shirt, revealing his armor underneath. he thrust his mask onto his face and jumped up onto the counter.

He crossed his arms over his chest, "Freeze!" He shouted. "Put away your weapons, and I will let you go with only minor injuries!" he quickly counted the men in the room. I sure hope someone comes to help out here, I can't take them all on myself! He quickly deployed his gauntlets.

[Madhatter]

The Madhatter walked into the coffeeshop to rob it, but as he walked in he saw men in black suit and a guy about to fight them. He looked around.

"I take it this is a hold up? Normally I wouldn't mind a robbery but since you took mine..." He raised a red gun at the men. "I will destroy you." A small smile appeared on his face.

[Titan]

Titan took this as his que. while the first tall man was distracted, he punched him, hard. the man flew over a table and landed on another man. everyone looked shocked for a moment...

then the shooting began.

[Madhatter]

The Hatter jumped behind the counter as a round of shots flew above him. Looking over he saw the cashier laying on the ground panicing. Look above he shot two of men with Alice before a bullet hit his coat.

[Titan]

Titan blocked his head with one gauntlet, and went on a bashing spree with the other. he hit one man, then another, then another. he started getting distracted. a few men surrounded him. he could only block the two in front of him. the men started closing in on him. he called for the MadHatter's help.

[Madhatter]

"Need me already." He said with a smile. He fired a few rounds of at the men hitting 4 of them before seeing one of them running out with the money.

[Titan]

Titan Dashed After The Man With The Dough. He Took A Flying Leap. "You're not going Anywhere!" He Planted Both Fists firmly On The Man's Back. Titan walked Over To The Last Man Standing, broke his Gun, and tossed Him To The Mad Hatter. "He's all yours. "

[Madhatter]

" Shall you live or shall you die, let's find out now shall we? Hatter flipped a coin in the air it landed on tails. "Live it is then but don't think you'll be awake for the trip to the slammer." With that he hit him over the head with his gun.

He turn to Titian. "I did a favor for you now you do a favor for me." He chucked him a small book. "Sign it." He said with a smile.

[Death's Kiss]

Driving past the coffee shop, Achilles saw the commotion.
Seeing the bag of money lying on the floor, he exited his vehicle after slipping on his mask and walked forward.

"Dear fellows, I hate to deprive you of your hard work, but i must really be going."
In saying that, he blinded the Hatter and Titan and took the money running to his car.

hopping in he started driving away


(power used: Minor shadow control )
The ability to cloak himself in shadows as long as there are shadows present, and he can temporarily blind people by stopping light from reaching them.

[Titan]

Titan was standing over the money when he was blinded, he simply stepped on it and held it there with his formidable strength. he spoke in the general direction of the mad hatter, "just one last thing before I sign your book... lets take care of this one."

[Death's Kiss]

you aren't near it, so you can't

[Titan]

OOC: fine, i was imagining a foot or three... but that's fine I guess.

[Death's Kiss]

oOC: ok the way it sounded was that the guy was lying near the door and you walked farther inside to deal with mr. last gun. just a orientation mix up...

[Titan]

OOC: its all right. it was a long shot. my character is smart, but he is not smart enough to find something while blind even if its only a foot away. you can have your money

BIC: When the blindness subsided, Titan walked over to the Mad Hatter. He disengaged his Gauntlets, "Thanks for that. I'm Titan, who are you?" he held out one hand for a handshake.

[Death's Kiss]

OOC: haha ok thanks if one of you, just an idea anyways, managed to slip a tracker into the bag though..... Just a thought

IC: Slipping off his mask and putting on his shirt, he decided to call it a day. This catch was going to be good enough to last him a while whatever it was. pulling over to his small apartment, he slip on some jeans and walked inside with his bag of looted loot

[Titan]

OOC: alright

BIC:
Titan did a quick diagnostic, a small chunk was missing from his right gauntlet. his eyes scanned around for it, but he couldn't find it anywhere. the metal in his armor was his own creation, it emits a faint, harmless, and unique type of radioactivity. he could trace it. the path led out the door. (using his increased mental speed, he thought all of this between talking to the mad hatter and the mad hatter's response)

[Madhatter]

Madhatter let out a laugh as he took off his hat."I believe this is the money you were chasing after him for. " Out of his hat he pulled a stack of bills. "I don't like it when people take what I worked so hard to protect. That should be most of it minus a small commission of course." He threw the stack of bills at Titian with a smile. "I hope our thief won't mind play money and a wallet from our friend the cashier."

[Madhatter]

Looking at the money he have Titian. He let out a laugh knowing it was some of his fake money. If anyone was going to get that money it would be him. He checked his pocket. "I need to get some powder soon or I might go sane." He let of a painful laugh before starting to cough up blood. Pulling out a handkerchief he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Not to rush you but I'm in a hurry."

[Titan]

"No worries. I have places to be as well. didn't you want something from me?" I don't want the money, I was here to make sure the people of this establishment were safe. the money is theirs" Titan said, examining the chip in his gauntlet.

[Madhatter]

"Yes, sign this." He picked up his pocket book and handed it to Titian with it's pages opened to a page that had a question mark on the top of it. "Also have you heard of the red princess, she has my medicine and I really need it."

[Death's Kiss]

Arriving home, Achilles picked up the sack and took it inside. looking in it, he scowled. some of the money had been replaced with fake money, but near the bottom there was some stacks of bills that were definitely 20s.
grinning, he sighed. even the amount he had with him would be enough. dumping out the sack, he took the play money and stuffed it into his fire place.

[Titan]

Titan looked questioningly at the small book. it seemed to hold significance. he felt it was a bad idea to sign it, but he supposed he owed it to the funny man. he picked up the book, grabbed a pen from a nearby table, and signed.

"I better be going." Titan said, noticing the already fading trail of radioactivity. "take care!" He pulled back on his coat, picked up his laptop (amazingly one of the few things not broken in the shop), and kicked over the sack of money to the store owner with a muttered for repairs before leaving.

(My part of thread continued at Titan's house)

[Death's Kiss]

Achilles lit his fire watching the fake money burn. Putting the sack in his car and the real money into his closet, he went back out to track that reactor rod.

Humming to himself as he drove, he turned on the radio to a rap channel and enjoyed his ride

[Argent]

Argent pulled up to the Black Bean coffee shop while a crowd of reporters pushed up against a row of officers maintaining control of the crime scene. Alex climbed out of his car grabbed his field visor and approached the scene, he quickly flashed his badge and approached the detective on the scene.

The officers grimaced as they approached each other "Great now I have to deal with you too" sneered the detective as Argent put his visor and his head, "Just cut to the chase, what'd got for me Gus" he quipped. Gus shuffled in place before showing Argent around the Crime Scene, after elaborating what had happened a few hours before had Alex had a clear picture of what had occurred.

"Here are a few composites of the perpetrators but good luck on the third guy no one got a good look at him before he smoked the place." the Detective handed Argent a few pictures and the Agent scanned them into his Visor. As the images were uplinked a commotion began to gather around the flat screen behind the bar as a few of the detectives on the scene gathered around and were watching an impromptu broadcast from H.A.T. Labs, apparently a deranged man in a top hat had broken in. "Looks like today's my lucky day" grinned Argent as he exited the Cafe, got into his cruiser and a speed off with the sirens blairing.
