You blast around the desk, loose papers scattering in your wake. You swing your arm, adjusting its trajectory as you get close and notice a faint outline of Split causing a distortion against the background of the wall.
Spot check 20 (22) successful!
Surprised, Split tries to step back, but his reaction is too slow, and you clothesline him. He flips end over tea kettle and...
Attack: 12 (17)... a hit! You caught him flat footed.
Save is 11. Curses on that villain point hogging cannon wielding maniac!
...lands in a heap on the ground, disolving in a small puff. You admire your handiwork briefly, then are suddenly shoved from behind. At first you think you are being attacked, but when you turn, you see a very young, african american girl, you'd guess 14 or 15 at the most, tumble out of the computer screen and land on her hands and knees, breathing heavily.
You see her hands have some sort of electrical system lining her bones, giving off a blue glow, much brighter than normal veins, but in the same location. There is some sort of plug in the back of her neck (think Matrix neck plug). She is dressed in very plain and simple clothing; jeans and a baggy shirt. At first she doesn't see you, but as she sees your shoes, she says in a very high pitched voice, "Mister Split? Did I do...d... d...?" She looks up and sees you, not Split, letting out a shriek of terror, and launches herself backwards along the floor under the desk. You hear her bang her head hard as she does so.
You can still see her as she pulls her knees up to her chest and looks at you with terror. She has some sort of mechanical implant around her eye with lights that are flashing.
I'd call that a successful intimidate check...without even trying. Who says disturbing appearance is always a flaw? Please notice she doesn't get initiative ...
Initiatives: Vince 27 (3HP, 1S, 1L), Stryke 22 (3L), Johan 17 x6 (1HP), Split 16 (4VP), Michelle 16 (2L, 2HP, in a duel), Tara 15 (1L, 2HP), Hoppy 11 (1L, Disabled), Anna 8 (1HP, 2L, immobile)

"You got it, kitten," Sanjay says, hog-tying the unconscious gunman in rope. He then turns his attention on the wrestling match.
OOC: Create ropes [half action], I assume that's not an attack, so I'll ready an action. If she escapes them both, I'll create a box around her made of, and attached to, the material the floor is made of (as thick as my +7 power allows). That's using Creation, not Snare, I believe she gets a save against it still.

Sanjay creates ropes around the fourth unconscious gunman's hands and feet, which Monica tightens rather forcefully.
Meanwhile, the woman continues to writhe in Straightjacket's and Rebounds grapple, trying to break free. Loki sees her start to slip free, and hurls a blast of light into the fray. It strikes her in the head, but she snaps her eyes shut and turns just enough for it to be ineffective.
Loki attack 12 (17) hits. Reflex save of 15 succeeds.
Suddenly, she starts losing her shape, as her body takes on the consistency of a near liquid. Rebound quickly loses his grip, but Straightjacket twists and turns, grabbing her leg. Just as he pulls her up, she slips free and lands with a splut on the ground.
She uses plasticity to aid her escape attempt using escape artist.
Opposed roll vs Rebound: 29 vs 4 (19) -- HP re-roll result 10 (25) success!
Opposed roll vs Straightjacket: 34 vs 15 (33) success!
Neutron is ready and a box of hardened tiles clatters into place around the woman's gooey form. As it rises from the floor, she reforms and seems ready to leap out of the box. But as she quickly looks around at your numbers, she lets the walls enclose her. The top claps shut, sealing her within!
It is still treated as a snare. Reflex save... failed. Battle over.
As it becomes apparent that it is safe, Loki lets his illusions fade. Mrs. Raynes looks with horror at her bodyguard and the huge, and rapidly spreading, pool of blood that has already made its way to mix with the water of the wave pool and the nearby kiddie pool. Mrs. Raynes appears in shock as several other members of her security force arrives, surrounding her and pulling her away from the dead guard's body. They don't take her far, just far enough to be out of sight of the blood.
Monica drags the unconscious and hog tied assassin to you and dumps him in the pile with the others. You notice she's been shot in the hip, just a graze, but it's bleeding and matting her fer. She gives Neutron a hug, wincing a bit, but ignoring the pain. "He was going to shoot you," she says, giving the guard a glare. "I was hoping to find a less painful way of repaying you," she sighs. "But you don't mind my choice I hope," she says with a toothy smile.
Rebound shrinks back to normal, wobbles slightly, and collapses to the ground, coughing weakly. He doesn't look hurt, but looks physically exhausted.
Cosmo looks really, really pissed off. "No <censored> way I'm bleeding on their account," he growls, advancing towards the pile of guards, canines enlongating frighteningly. Luckily, his back is to the cameras right now. His shoulder is bleeding quite badly.
There is a thump behind Loki, as his Monica faints, her adreniline fading.
People gather to gawk, well back, held off by security, while cameras roll and bulbs flash. The reporters start bellowing questions, shoving microphones towards you, but are well back.
"Straightjacket! What happened here? How did you know there would be an attack? Were you scared grabbing the woman who gutted that bodyguard?"
"Neutron! How did you know the tile box would trap that woman? Who is the cat-girl? Did I hear you call her 'Kitten'? Is Kitten a new member of the team?"
"How did you summon that immense bird and the bats? Are you Merlin's apprentice? Who is the girl? How badly hurt is Rebound?"
In the distance, you hear the familiar sound of sirens approaching outside. Given how loud they are, they must be pulling up right outside the emergency exits now.
You can do what you like in regards to the reporters, as well as your injuries and Mrs. Raynes.

"Michele. I have dispatched 3 of Split's duplicates and I believe I have found how he bypassed ARIS. The real Split and who knows how many more of his invisible duplicates have escaped the building. They have stolen blood samples from the infirmary as well as my freaking WING!! I would persue him but I have a young lady in my custody."
Vince watches the girl closely and if she makes any attempt to move from her current position or make any kind of offensive action, Vince with stop her.
"Now, young lady", Vince states somewhat menacingly, "What is your name and why were you with Split?"

You get an eerie feeling when a data pad gets up on little plastic legs, beeping angrily, it's little pointer waving at you like a foil. A clock on the wall starts pulling itself free of its supporting nail, hour and minute hands extending like arms, and the coffee pot turns to glare at you, rim formed into a scowl, coffee within bubbling. The microphone bends around, small head moving up and down as if peering at you, then its cord pulls free of its plug and starts spinning about like a lasso.
And the girl continues to scream in panic.
Hehe, you tried to be menacing. I think it worked!

She's out pretty good, and looks to have banged her head pretty well. Still, after a few minutes, she starts coming to. The first sight she gets is you, and she relaxes until she sees the body of the bodyguard again, and buries her head into your chest so she doesn't see it, shivering.
"I wanna go home," she says into your chest on the verge of tears.
Ah, the life of a hero.
Meanwhile, the cameras snap pictures.

You bend down and scowl menacingly, which causes her to start to shriek in terror. She grabs a power cord in panic and her 'veins' pulse with energy. You take a step back when the ARIS terminal starts hopping towards you, a cartoon dog barking at you on its surface as it does so. She screams again when you step back, and a faint energy wave expands from her.

What Vince actually says:
She screams even louder. "Mister Split! Help me!" she shouts, crying.
The animated office supplies bat at you with vigor, but are completely ineffectual. The coffee pot splashes boiling coffee on you, which gets your clothes a bit wet, but doesn't so much as make you warm. The clock pokes at your leg with its time keeping hands but can't even get through your pants. The data pad pokes at your ankle with its poker, being foiled by your socks. The ARIS terminal stands at the edge of the desk right over the entrance to the space the girl is in, its animated dog barking continually. The microphone hops its way back towards you, pecking its head into your shoe as the cord wraps around your calf. You barely even feel it.
Heh, they can't hurt you, but they are giving it a good old college try.
You hear Pooky wimper slightly. Smoke still rises from his side.

"ARIS, can you show where the disturbance is located on a map?" asks the duplicate that is currently at Monica's room. Regardless or not of getting coordinates, he goes to look for the source. The one that was in his own also goes to look for a possible source.
"That is exactly the reason why I don't teach", the duplicate carrying Anna says to her as the others scatter in terror. He continues carrying her to the workshop.
The duplicate firing the rifle at Split's duplicate responds to Michelle. "Anna is fine, she just needs to get to her wheelchair. One of my duplicates is working on that. Two of me are just starting to work on restoring communications. Tara seems to have the invisibles taken care of, so I'm spending my efforts on helping you, however.
Johan moves forward and fires another lightning at Split, his duplicate doing the same.
