Mantis listened anxiously as his partner's weapon loudly clattered on the ground down below. There was nothing he could do but keep an eye on the people inside and hope they payed the sound no mind. Genevieve scaled down, retrieving her weapon as the guards turned toward the fire escape. Mantis was almost positive he would have to put them down.
"Unfortunate." he thought to himself. Genevieve's insistence that it would not happen again was not very reassuring.
Just then, Zach made his way through the front door. The sounds of confusion and ensuing gunfire below made the guards above look down in surprise. The flashes from the gunpowder lit up the otherwise dark warehouse. The sounds echoed throughout the building and throughout the neighborhood. Then a woman's voice yelled out from outside. Mantis turned and saw a woman launch toward the top of the roof and inside with ease.
"Parahuman?!" That was not good. He'd better get in there before Zach was overwhelmed, powers or not.
Mantis motioned for Genevieve to follow him through the window as he ran as quietly as he could toward the closest guard. The gunfire helped to mask the sound of his boots. On his way there he imparted in her mind,
"That was a parahuman, we'd better be careful." As he reached the man, Mantis shoved him with his weapon hard. The man flipped over the railing due to the force; yelling loudly as he fell below. He wouldn't die..
"Probably." As Mantis approached the second guard, now in a full on sprint; he released feelings of terror. The man turned in shock toward Mantis with his rifle, shaking in horror. The emotion had already done its work.. Before he even had a chance to turn the safety off, Mantis jabbed him in the face with his Mp5. His nose broke with a loud
crunch as he crumpled to the floor.
Mantis then looked over the railing with his weapon pointed directly at the unknown woman. He held his fire, but was very careful to keep it trained on her. No telling what she was capable of or whose side she was on..
Damien/Swarm - Minutemen "Headquarters"
Damien listened to the masked man with more interest then he usually gave off. That's when the sound of lazers with an accompanying explosion shattered the building in front of them.
Damien activated his power without thinking lifting multiple objects with his telekinesis.
"Now I've done it," he thought to himself. There was no hiding it now.
Then he took another long drag of his cigarette and exhaled in the air as the objects clattered at their feet. That's when another person ran towards them introducing himself as Hemogoblin.
Damien cocked his head to the side and replied,
"I'm making all kinds of friends today," he said with a malicious grin.
He turned to see a a kid no older then nine trying to speak over the noise.
"I'm either in the right place at the right time, or the wrong place at the right time," he commented chuckling.
"The name's Swarm," he emphasized it while lifting a nearby car with his telekinesis and donning his
mask. The cigarette remained lit in his mouth. The car began to drift over toward them and remained motionless. If that kid was here to cause them trouble he would get an appropriate response. As he looked closer, Swarm put the pieces together. It was the one who blew up Chimney Rock..
