Seeing his opportunity, Gordon will try to break through the police line, shouting "Our kids are in there, we have to help them" trying to incite the parents to continue their press.

Wow. And I thought Roy was irresponsible.
Edit: (This is the 'angry terrorist' who pissed Roy off earlier... Super-Terrorist's brother.) He's getting up? Wow, and I was worried Roy would have killed him. He did hit that wall at about 200+ mph...

The first terrorist's gun appears in Nightshifts hand
Let's make it: "...has his machinegun wrenched out of his hands by the blast, sending it clattering all the way to the wall." Though I'll keep the "teleporting to his hand" aspect of it in mind for future uses.
<Back IC:
"You get me?"
The second terrorist drops his gun and raises his hands. Apparently he does.

"Now, boys,"- he grabs one of Flesh Shield's raised arms and snaps a newly appeared pair of handcuffs on him -"let's not give away our lives over this, alright?"
<Insert likely dodging of firearm here as he takes a 5-foot step over to the cover afforded by the nearest gunmen still under his spell.>
"Whatever this is." Another pair of handcuffs snaps into place, this one chrome-shining new.
<Response terrorists?>
OOC = Tell me the students have taken the opportunity to skidaddle? If not, insert a forceful if discreet *shoo, shoo!* gesture behind his back here, directing them towards the likeliest exit.
Actions
Move1= Infinite Handcuff snare on baddy no 1. Don't know if he needs a tohit for this (with a bonus, maybe?) but here it is anyway:
Baddy is Entangled on a failed Reflex 20 save, immobile and helpless if failed by five or more (say Nightshift has snapped his wrist to the opposite ankle in that case If Nightshift fails to cuff this one on the first try, forget the rest and try again with his other move action.
Else : 5 foot step to one of the other 3 still under the charm.
Move2= Infinite Handcuffs on baddy no 2. Same deal with no need for an attack roll this time, I think, but furnished anyway just in case.

Well, you know how they say 'it runs in the family'?...
*Wicked GM Grin*
BTW Andor it's the 'good guys' turn again, Super-Terrorists action has been spent Running to catch up. He blew you a fair way away. Just waiting on your action for the new turn.
And Binder - They're base terrorists out of the back of the book, PL 4 with +3 will saves. I know that's the suggested for a cell LEADER, but this is a badass organization.

Focusing his bleary eyes Roy realizes that the brother loving lunatic is still coming after him. Ugh. Okay, maybe I should get up and OH CRUD! He's still coming? He starts to get up and realizes he's too hurt to move that quickly. He reflexively grabs the brick that bonked him on the head and throws it at the bad guy in a desperate attempt to fend him off.
Cassandra instinctively flinches when the wall explodes, and hunkers down with her arms going up to protect her head. Debris patters around her, and a sharp eye may notice that several direct hits slide aside before striking her, as if impacting an invisible roof over her head.
Her desire to flee is given a sharp kick in the teeth though when she sees the kid in the rubble. The back of her head wonders quickly how he'd survived, but most of her was too busy being horrified. The terrorists were shooting at -children!-
Without thinking, she charges forward, grabbing Roy as she goes past him and hauling him along out of the line of sight of the doorway. Oddly, to Roy, the feeling isn't like being dragged by his shoulder...it's more like something is holding his whole body just off the ground as she runs with him.
"We have to get you out of here!" Cassandra cries, heading for a corner she can use to get out of sight when the terrorist emerges from the library. "Don't panic!"
(Force field up as a free, move to Roy, and use TK to move him along with me. I'll HP on a damage save fail that would stagger me or knock me out (or kill me, of course).)
"Young'ings, let me tell you about the time I battled not one, not two, not three, but SEVEN terrorist leaders all at the same time! It was a tuesday, I think."
Granted the base +3 Will save, my pesky conscience gives me a wedgy and forces me to point to the "+1 for each previously failed save" bit of the Command Voice power (the cheek!): i.e. +1 on the last, +2 on their next one if I got that right.
-Bob's Appartment-
Robert doesn't see any form of surveillance and soon he and Bob are safely inside, wondering what to do next. As they sit down, Bob's phone begins to ring, and doesn't stop.
-Metro High- Gymnasium
As Nightshift cuffs the two Terrorists, the rest manage to shake themselves free of his control, and retrieve their weapons. As he glances back, the children are still staring in awe, but finally his shooing motions spurs one of them to flee, and the rest follow suit. One of the terrorists turns to shoot, but the seventh, who has managed to regain his feet, growls "NO! Kill this one first." and steps forward. "Where is my BROTHER?" his eyes start glowing red.
exterior
Roy chucks a brick with startling speed and accuracy at the SuperTerrorist as he exits the library, and the crowd is treated to the spectacle of a brick shattering against the mans head. He takes one shaking step forward before dropping to his knees, his eyes glazing over as he falls forwards, barely catching himself.
Roy doesn't have time to celebrate though, as the next moment he finds himself being pulled along by Cassandra.
Meanwhile, back at the barricade, the cops loose control of the crowd as children start pouring out the front door, and the eager parents surge forward to meet them.

Gym: I'll just start it at +1 this round to keep things simple, thank you for pointing it out. Uncuffed Terrorist Will saves (1d20+4=22, 1d20+4=20) that's all of'em free(I ignored the cuffed one b/c he's out of the equation
The gymnasium how holds 4 armed terrorists and 2 cuffed, plus the Angry Terrorist.
Exterior: Toughness (1d20+7=12) That's bruised, stunned, and staggered for Super-Terrorist.
"I'm not panicking. *cough* Ow. But watch out for that guy, he can throw explosions from his hands, like invisible grenades or something." He steadies himself on his feet with a grimace. "Everyone else is still in the gym! We've got to help them, the rest of these jerks may not have powers, but they have guns and that's enough."
OCC: Technically getting to his feet is his move action for this tound.

-Bob's Appartment-
Robert doesn't see any form of surveillance and soon he and Bob are safely inside, wondering what to do next. As they sit down, Bob's phone begins to ring, and doesn't stop.
Robert glances over at Bob. "Are you going to get the phone?"
"Powers?" Cassandra asks. She feels stupid immediately afterwards. Of course. That's how this kid came bursting out of a brick wall. And it's probably why he was still alive.
As he starts to struggle to get up, she relaxes her 'grip' on him instinctively, allowing him to get his feet and stand up. There's still a sensation of textureless pressure around him though...something like how a magnetic field can exert pressure without being solid or having a shape. A moment later even that's gone.
"I don't think you're in any shape to go to the gym," she tells him. "And I'm not really..."
The camera! I dropped it right next to the gym!
Cassandra's voice trailed off as she tried to figure out a way to tell Victor the bad news, then imagined his reaction.
"...on second thought, okay. Lets go."
She heads for the gym...just in time to see kids flooding out the doors.
"What the..." With a look at Roy Cass asks, "Are you working in a team or something?" She doesn't wait for an answer though, instead running up to the doors to try to squeeze inside.
As he glances back, the children are still staring in awe, but finally his shooing motions spurs one of them to flee, and the rest follow suit.
Mandatory military service; he's calling his house representative first thing in the morning.
Rawling's gun is back in his hand and he's moving, but too slow - too slow :

Ouch. Superbeings all over the place today...
"Care to surrender, Cain?" Gun pointed and braced. Bang.
<Response Cain?>
Actions
Full round= Flesh Wound gut-shot on Shouting Terrorist Leader AKA Cain.
Meanwhile, back at the barricade, the cops loose control of the crowd as children start pouring out the front door, and the eager parents surge forward to meet them.
As the parents push their way through the officers, Gordon rushes foward with them, doing his best to look the part of the anxious parent. Seeing the children bursting from the main entrance, Gordon heads that way, hoping to get inside the building. Once there he will look for a washroom to duck into, there's never cameras in the washrooms.
Bob glances at his phone and hesitates, then slowly picks up the phone to see who's calling.... "Uh, hello?" He worries about who the heck would be calling his house when he's supposed to be at work.
"Team?" Roy asks to Cassandras retreating back. "No. But *ow* Maybe it's not a bad idea." He sighs and thinks hard for a second then pulls his t-shirt up over his head and tears eye-holes in it to make in an impromptu mask. I don't know if those cameras got a good look at me yet, but if not maybe I can still save my identity. Then wobbling slightly he rises straight up in the air a couple of hundred feet then arcs over the library looking for the brother-loving lunatic.
OCC: I'm hoping t-shirt to mask is a free action.

-Bob's Appartment- Phone
As Bob answers the phone, he hears the voice of the agent from Megacomix.
"Please do not continue to run, Mister Reddington. We really would like to talk to you about your.. abilities, and your situation, and we would rather not have to alert the local authorities, not to mention your friends and family, as to your potentially dangerous condition. So, if you and the other man in the room could come back to the store, we'd much appreciate the chance to speak."
-Metro High
Exterior
As the parents rush towards their escaping students, chaos ensues, the police have their hands full trying to sort things out, and the media doesn't seem sure what to roll on. For a brief moment Roy is seemingly forgotten, a moment he uses to cover his face... for all the good it'll do, since his entire class saw what happened in there.
As he does so, Cassandra takes off, charging through the crowd. Shaking his head, Roy hears movement behind him and sees Super-Terrorist staggering back to his feet, clutching his bloody head.
Gym "sorry to cut in." The voice startles everyone as a Tazer hits 'cain' in the back, dropping him to the ground with a strangled shout. Behind him is standing a man Nightshift hadn't seen a second ago, dropping the tazer and pointing his gun at another terrorist. "Don't move." A man in a suit steps out of the doorway, firing a second tazer shot at one of the remaining terrorists as he moves into the room, pulling out a revolver.
The man in the suit steps quickly over to Nightshift as the three of them cover the remaining three terrorists. "There's a boy outside who needs your help, back through that hole. You need to get him out of here, before the Agency shows up. I can't explain everything now, but trust me you need to get the two of you out of here NOW. The two of us can handle these guys."
Interior
As Gordon is looking around for a bathroom, he glances back to the doorway and the mob several feet outside of it, and sees two things. The first is an unconscious terrorist laying just behind the door in the foyer, the second is a woman(Cassandra) slipping in just as he had. As she enters the building, their eyes meet, both quickly thinking up ways to explain their presence inside the school. Before either of them can speak, however, they hear a shout of pain from the gym.
ooc
I'm going to assume, btw, that Cassandra telekinetically snatched her camera from the bush as she ran past unless you say otherwise, Shayuri
(OOC - Jemal, ah yes, I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks for the catch! )
Cassandra freezes on seeing a strange man there, but realizes he doesn't quite fit the terrorist profile. She quickly shows him her camera and press pass.
"I'm with the press," she whispers. "I saw all the kids come out, is it over in here? Can I get some shots of the terrorists?"
Looking at the woman, Gordon did he best to look as professional as possible.
"One of the parents hired me to get their kid outta here, I'm Stan, as long as you stay outta my way, I don't care if you're with the Peace Corps, just don't take any shots of me." he says gruffly.
At the shout of pain, Gordon turns to the gym and runs that direction.
Bob holds the phone such that his speedy.....what, savior?.....ah, who knows......might hear the voice on the phone. Bob answers "I....don't think that's such a good idea. I don't have a condition. I'm perfectly healthy..... Not dangerous." He hangs up the phone, and pulls out the phone jack so it won't ring anymore. "Maaaan, whaddami gonna DO!?" he groans.
