Mirage bit back a sarcastic reply.  "A big, tough man like yourself?  I'm sure that you've got all the right power in all the right places.  Where were you going to hand them over?  Where was the meeting place?" she asked.

"Lady my arm is a gun.. And thats all your gonna get from me. We gotta skip town now as it is." He raises his chin defiantly at her while glancing to his partner.

Mirage had the urge to plant a punch right in that raised chin of Armory's.  "Are you sure that's all that you want to give me?" she asked softly.  "I was so hoping for more.  You're really going to find skipping town to be rather difficult without our help, especially when the Bertelli's find out that you've skipped town with their weapons.  That would be a very easy rumor to spread."

Armory has an intense look of concentration on his face. Without saying another word to Mirage. He looks to Musclemass and shouts. "Now!"

As Armory shouts now, Musclemass shoulder bashes Hunter Sending him flying over the edge of the dock. He then stands and attempts to break the psionic bonds.

Hunter grunts as he goes flying into the drink. He attempts to adjust grab onto the dock but falls, many arrows fall out of his quiver.

Mirage reacts quickly, her gentle questioning good cop demeanor disappearing in an instant.  She can feel Musclemass straining against her psionic bonds and the man was very strong.  She wouldn't be able to hold him too much longer.  She drew an arm back and a long dagger materialized in her hand.  She thrust the dagger at Armory, aiming for the mans head.


"Get the big guy, Thunder." she shouted, without taking her eyes from Armory.

Armory, quickly falls back to avoid the dagger and then, "nips up." Spinning so his back is to Mirage he turns his arm into a cannon again, and aiming over his shoulder, fires at Mirage.

Steel Thunder reacts in the same instant his name is called.  He was unwilling to use the pulse laser at so close a range, especially after what had happened last time.

Let's see how tough this guy is... Using his fully enhanced strength, he punches Musclemass right in the face.

Musclemass takes the hit in the face andstumbles backward grungting. Where anyone else would be seriously injured he has a small cut on his lip. Still straining at the bonds with all for arms he rushes at Steel Thunder in a shoulder tackle.

Attempting to sidestep out of the way, Steel Thunder tries to bring an elbow down on the big man's neck.

Damn!

Mirage cursed as she twisted out of the way of Armory's blast.  She was having to concentrate on maintaining both villains bonds but Musclemass wasn't making it very easy.  Her attention was divided and she reacted a little slower than she should have.

As Mirage twisted away, she threw her long dagger at Armory, aiming for his head once more.

With a resounding roar Musclemass breaks free of MIreages bonds and sends a punch righat at Steel thunders face

"Hold your fire," Katy said, for about the tenth time today. She wasn't liking who had all come to the disturbance, especially the ones who had the cops called on themselves. Katy picked up the VC radio.

"This is officer Hanson, requesting Para-Swat. We're at the docks, in between piers 11 and 12. Be advised, I'm sending the rest of the units home," she spoke into it.

"Yes, ma'am. But keep the officers, you're going to need the ba-," and then Katy turned it off.

"All of you, go home. Conventional gunfire like ours won't do much against paras."

"But."

"That's an order, Stevens," she snapped back. Reluctantly, all of the officers who were currently at the docks turned and left. As soon as they'd rounded the corner, Katy threw off her shawl, along with her bandana, and began unzipping her rather loose pants. . "Don, if you tell anyone, I'm going to kill you," she said, though it wasn't needed.

Underneath the outerwear was a black jumpsuit, almost skin-tight. There became a ripple in time and space beside Katy, and she stuffed her civilian clothes within, and withdrew a long trenchcoat. Quickly putting it on, she ran towards the group. 15.6? That's a record, she thought, then stopped just a little bit away from everyone. She did some of her best work from a range.

A rather powerful force-field shot outward, toward Musclemass as he threw a punch at Steel Thunder, along with a renewing of telekinetic bonds that made it difficult to move. "I wouldn't try it," the Lady Psyche said.

Steel Thunder had no intention of testing the strength of the armor plating.  With a quick blast from his foot jets, he attempts to get out of the way and behind Musclemass.

As new bonds appeared around Muscle mass hands he lwers his arms and shouts "MILES!!" and rushes towards armory scoping him up in his arms and taking the psychic knife to the lower back.

Mirage felt Musclemass break her psionic bonds like receiving a kick to the gut.  The man was just too powerful for her to try and hold while she was fighting Armory.  She reeled slightly and it threw her aim off, Her psychic knife digging deep into the muscle mans back.

Mirage took a moment to steady herself.  She then leapt into the air, gracefully flipping towards Musclemass, a long spear forming in her hands.  She was going to drive the spear into the giants head and hopefully take him out of the fight for a while.  Then they could deal with Armory.

Just as Mirage move towards him Musclemass, with armory in his arms. Leaps over the neraby buildings and out of sight.

Just as The team disappear from sight Hunter pulls himself out of the water, Dripping wet with a few of his weapons missing.

Mirage lands on the dock and throws the spear at the retreating Musclemass.  The throw misses of course.

The beautiful woman shakes her head and walks over to Hunter, helping him to his feet if he will let her.  "Are you alright, Hunter?" she asks.

"Psyche?  What was with the police show of force?"  Mirage asks the other woman pleasantly.  "Doesn't Jordans SCU unit usually respond to para crimes?  You know I hate having police guns pointed at me."

Psyche was looking around for any object useful when coupled with her psychometry, but was having no such luck.

"It's been very slow at the station for the past couple of weeks. People were getting restless," Psyche said, turning her attention towards Mirage, "And I do apologize for the weapons. They don't make officers like they used too." To punctuate her point, Lady Psyche sighed.

Hunter allows Mirage to help him up shivering a little as she does though he's trying not to make it obvious. He offers a nod to Lady Psyche before turning to Steel Thunder. "don't worry about it kid sometimes they get away. WE'll catch em next time they pop up, plus once the Bertellis find out they squealed they'll have their own problems to deal with. SOrry bout the mess Lady PSyche and the amount of paperwork you'll have to deal with. I miss anything else while I was in the drink?"

" Yeah I know they sometimes get away but that doesn't make it any easier." said the big metal man.

Changing the subject, Steel Thunder looks to Hunter, " I do feel bad about the sword, though.  Can I replace it?"

"No harm done, I suppose." Mirage says as she walks over to Lady Psyche and slowly walks around the woman, giving her an appraising eye.  Mirage swept the trenchcoat aside with a deep red coloured fan that appeared in her hand.  Standing behind Lady Psyche, Mirage leaned in a little closer, putting a hand on one shoulder while she softly speaks over the other.  "Really, dear, the trenchcoat simply must go.  It's so last decade.  You have such a nice figure that it's such a waste to hide it."

HUnter shakes his head. "DOn't worry about it I got plenty left." Moving to the others. he dropped his quiver and puts some of his gear in it as he removes his outer coat leaving just atanktop underneath.
