Ivan sighed as he looked over all the paperwork on his desk. Various reports and documents cluttered the entire space, ranging from case histories to evidence documentation to scheduling work shift forms. [color=7ea7d8][i]Nose meets grindstone,[/i][/color] Ivan thought to himself as he began organizing his workload, going through it bit by bit. Soon, documentation reached the proper files, officers were being assigned to areas that needed aid, and inspection reports were being approved. Ivan went through his work methodically and efficiently, ensuring each piece received proper attention. One unsolved case caught his eye: the Valentine Tragedy. A series of unfortunate events that led to the loss of Fae Valentine's entire immediate family. As he opened the folder up, a beeping alarm eventually went off on his watch, indicating it was time for a short break. Ivan simply turned it off, put down the file, and went off into the break room for a cup of joe. He figured he could use one to recharge himself. It was low-quality instant coffee, but he didn't feel the need to be picky. 

Just as he poured himself a cup full, static suddenly burst from his radio, followed by an alert: [color=ed1c24]“Robbery in progress at Nova City Bank. All units, respond. Suspects are still inside. Officer safety is a priority.”[/color] Ivan grunted. Those criminals just had to pick the worst of times. Quickly chugging down his coffee, he dropped his mug into the nearby sink and rushed outside. The once calm and slow workplace had turned into chaos. Officers were rushing to get themselves properly kitted up, and calls were buzzing in like crazy. Ivan also made his way over to the armory, gathering a few magazines for his service weapon and a riot shield. He slung it over his back, made sure his weapon was properly loaded. "[color=7ea7d8]Let's get there pronto, men! Lives are at stake![/color]" Ivan said to everyone, who responded with a resounding, [color=00aeef]"Yes sir!"[/color] 

As multiple police cars arrived at the scene, his included, everyone began rushing out and getting into formation. "[color=7ea7d8]Maintain formation. Keep civilians away from the premises, and prioritize safety,[/color]" Ivan barked orders while transforming his body to take on a crystalline form. Ivan then made his way over to a couple of cops who were already at the scene. Officers Tate and Ramirez saluted at the sight of Ivan, but he gestured for them to stand down. "[color=7ea7d8]At ease. What are we dealing with here?[/color]" Ivan asked them. "[color=fff200]Sir! We've been holding the perimeter, ensuring the safety of civilians and our fellow officers,[/color]" Ramirez said. "[color=navy]Yes sir! Just following orders![/color]" Tate chimed in. "[color=navy]Um, though at least a couple people did enter the building despite our best efforts. We already reported it through our radios.[/color]" Ivan nodded. "[color=7ea7d8]I heard.[/color]" Even now, there was chatter coming through about other metas making their way into the bank. Judging by their various appearances and lack of proper coordination, it was highly likely they were vigilantes. This was no time to stand back and allow chaos to unfold in the bank. Ivan grabbed his radio and spoke into it, "[color=7ea7d8]This is Lt. Ivan Barrett. Team, we initiate Operation: Vanguard.[/color]" At once, various officers gathered behind Ivan, who now held out his riot shield at the ready, and together they proceeded into the building. The plan was to go in, find hostages, and evacuate them to safety while the "heroes and villains" fought each other.
