Sin appeared in the shadow left by Little Brother's cloak, and he stepped away to rejoin the battle, utilizing both his staff and the cord on his belt. He rushed into a group of three who were close together, only one of whose attention was on him. He struck the first on the chin with his staff, and threw his line around the third, pulling him into the second and knocking them all to the ground in short order.

When Vaeros approached, Torch appeared to be cutting a hole in the wall, his hands were elbow deep in the wall, a bright glowing circle of molten brick and steel and burning drywall nearly complete. He didn't even stop to look at Vaeros when he issued his challenge, and instead said, "No thanks." There were two thugs nearby with fire extinguishers, apparently ready to stop the whole building from going up while they were still inside it, and they turned the nozzles on Vaeros and blasted him. As he was covered with freezing foam, one of them rushed forward and swung his extinguisher as a weapon at him.

The anchor sailed past Tank as he tossed the second table. As Anchor pulled it back, it caught his foot and pulled him over. He bent double on the ground and grabbed a hold of the anchor, pulling it viciously back toward him.

Something was happening outside. It was unnoticeable at first, but by the time people realized it was too late. A thin gray-green powder started to coat the ground, floating gently down, coming from somewhere in the crowd. The people gathered around, police, newspeople and rubber-neckers all, were already lethargic. A police officer was rushed to the SWAT truck and started handing out gas masks, not bothering to put one on himself in his rush. He gave out seven before he collapsed heavily and fell out the back of the truck. Others were following suit, while civilians(and some cops) simply fled the area.
