"Hello? I'm not getting any younger."
"Ten," Fisher mouthed back, holding up two empty hands. "Frankie, mute it." Hands behind his head, the officer murmured, "Tell him you'll do it. For another hostage. I'll figure out a way to buy us some time. That should give us at least another two minutes."
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
"Listen," Fisher said, ignoring the captor against his better judgment, "I know you guys operate under some sort of code, but there are ten lives on the line."
"You people aren't answering me. Thirty minutes or they all die."

"I won't do something that I can't back up. I don't know anyone outside of the mask." Breakneck nearly growled. "I know what this guy is going to do. And I won't stand for it. He is going to hunt us down till no one is left. If we don't nip it in the bud now, it will only get worst." She nearly snapped. Taking a few steps away, she brought a hand up to her ear. "Problems. Stupid cops, hero Predator C." She state with a near growl to Carter. "Listen, I can in and out less then ten seconds if there's only one captor, providing he/she isn't a speedster, dragging him out. With no injuries." She stated. "It's the only way."

"No, it isn't." Fisher looked almost pained when he said it. He knew Kate's name. He knew Adriana's name. And the officer was more than ready to use them if it meant saving ten lives. None of the other officers understood what he meant by those three simple words, but they were the closest things to a threat Cody had ever said aloud. "Damned if we do, damned if we don't. How much is a name really worth, Breakneck?"

"When you live like I do. Everything. It means the different being able to live a normal life outside of when we put the suit and we become a different person. Yourself don't matter, the only thing that matters that everyone gets out before you do, alive. It's our only chance to have a semblance of a normal live through what other wise might be discrimination and a life of heartbreak and bein different." Breakneck nearly hissed again. "I'm only starting to fully understand it. I'll say yes, but only if we get another one out and I go in." She stated.

"Twenty-eight minutes. Don't let them do anything rash, Francine."
Frankie looked from the phone and back to Fisher, one eyebrow raised. "If we're gonna do something about this, we should do it fast. It's gonna take a while to set up the shot. Personally, if I had the chance to get ten people out of a hostage situation alive just by saying my name, I'd do it. But that's just me," she frowned, staring Breakneck down across the table.
"Frankie, come on."
"Don't 'come on' me, Fisher. You know as well as I do how selfish she's being."

Breakneck shook her head. "No I'm not, do you know why we have the alias? It's to protect us and our families if we have them, from having targets on our backs in cases just like this. You don't know what the pain is of getting our abilities, what it take to come to terms, what our friends and families sacrifice to help us save you, how messed up our lives get because of getting them. Some of us near die. Or the very least part of us does die. Look at Enigma, my friend, who's now a wanted criminal because of her ice powers which created a whole new darker personality and she was using them to protect you. Now if what we are working on to allow her to use her powers and remain herself, you don't know how much a single tiny mistake can affect, such as hers. You don't know how long it will take her to get the trust of the public back after such a meltdown. I literally can get up there in less than five seconds, including the time to take down the captors and bring them all in a pretty bow." By now Breakneck was getting tired of the talk and on what she consider personal insults from Fisher's partner. "And when people know who we are, just by being acquaintances, we put people in danger. You cops just don't get it, do you?" She near hissed, looking at Fisher. She knew she shouldn't be getting so wound up over this, but this was now a part of her life. And she had to defend it.

"No! I don't get it! We've been over this!" Fisher snapped, trying to restrain himself from giving Breakneck a full-on lecture. They didn't have time for that. He'd have to settle for half a lecture. "But I understand sacrifice. I understand not having a life. You think when I make a mistake I don't have to pay the price? You get away with anything. Destroying buildings? Others' property? Breaking and entering? Oh, it's all in the name of justice." Venom dripped from every word, and Fisher knew the other officers would be surprised to see him lose his cool. "You're gonna run in there hotheaded and try to take out a guy you don't know anything about. Five seconds, sure. I know you have your mind made up, but it's a bad idea. It's such a bad idea."

"Half the time you don't even know what you're up to. And neither do we." Breakneck stated, for a slight moment yellowish lighting flicked around her irises, meaning she just increased her speed ever so slightly. "You don't know." With that, she flashed off, any loose papers flittered in the air, landing on the group.
"Only person moving around. Disarm him and get everyone ASAP." Carter stated simply, having heard what Fisher said. "Come back and we can talk."
Within two seconds, she had disarmed the captor and brought two hostages down and made it back to the rest of the hostages. Another two seconds, she'd brought five people down, and the last of the hostages were out. For the most part without injury, except for the random bruise that came from Breakneck grabbing them and running out. She would have to work on that. With the last of the hostages out, she took gave a challenging look at Fisher, "No one hurt. Just torn nerves, I have to work on grabbing people while running." She stated. "Look after them." Breakneck ordered before she ran off to face the one who created this problem. "Now, why start all the trouble?" She asked softly once she entered the doorway. She'd stopped running to slide to a stop in the doorway, taking slow steps toward the villain.

"I'm not the one who started it," Lynx replied, getting up to face Breakneck, unfazed. "You are. Your type. You call yourselves heroes and leave behind a wake of destruction. What kind of hero is that?" he shouted, voice echoing around the foyer. "I'm here to give the city a real hero, one who won't stab these poor people in the back every time they leave the house." A sick smile spread across his unmasked face, "And I'm taking you down first." All he needed was one clean blow. Then Breakneck wouldn't have her powers anymore, and Lynx would be one step closer to complete takeover of the city. Determined, he lunged for the hero.

"I did not start it. I only finish it. It's your type that forces us to stop you and you to cause the destruction." Breakneck stated, taking a quick step away from criminal. " Woah there... Take a step back. Take a step back. If you take me down, who's to stop the real baddie who wants to kill and take over the city?" She asked.
{So are we actually taking her powers? Right now?}

"About fifteen other heroes that are gonna meet the same fate you did," Lynx replied, a smile spreading across his face like blood through water. He lunged again, only to be stopped in midair by the precise aim of a sniper standing in the doorway. But his costume was bullet proof. It didn't matter.
Until the rest showed up. Suddenly it was one on twenty, and even Lynx knew he couldn't beat those odds. Not as he was now. As they started firing again, he disappeared into a cloud of smoke, leaving Breakneck alone.
"Why? Just why?" Fisher was grumbling. He only grumbled when he was beyond angry. "I told you no. No means no. Do you know what 'no' means, Breakneck? Do you?"

{Ok... I take that as a no.}
"Well, carp." Breakneck hissed. She turned around to fully face Fisher. "It's only a matter of time before I meet him. Need to scope out my enemy. See his abilities. Because you know the police department can't hand this stuff. It can't even handle the vigilantes. Everyone is safe and sound. Now I just have to increase my speed and work on strength and fighting skills." She sighed.

"What do you mean I can't handle them? I just shot the guy. Four times. Let's face it: you were out of your damn league. Have a little humility," Fisher snapped, putting the rifle on safe and slinging it over his shoulder. "Whatever. We're done here. You deliberately went against my orders." He was fuming, but by now the officer was so angry it almost seemed to be calmness. "Nice working with you."
(She can if you want but we were trying to make them trust each other, right? xD)

"Yea, and still he was able to trapeze off to where ever he hides out. He was wearing something equal to Kevlar. You're out of your league thinking you can so much at shoot a guy, a powered at that, have him go down. That isn't the case. You have to lengthen your thinking. Once you start bending to his will. He. Won't. Stop." Breakneck growled, still more than fuming. With that she blasted out and back to her base.
{Yea. Nevermind.}
