Rory jumped over a few knocked over desks only to see a large pile of rubble, but no Freya. Then a few of the rocks shifted and it sounded like something was struggling underneath them. Rory rushed over and began pulling the rocks off the pile, each one had to weigh at least several hundred pounds and between the exhaustion of getting tossed around and having to lift so many rocks, he was tiring quickly. Finally he got enough off that he could see a bit of her clothes underneath one last large rock.
With an almighty heave, and grunt, he managed to pull the slab off. He wrapped his arms around Freya and easily picked her up, pulling her out of the rubble. He gently set her down against the while, kneeling over her and breathing heavily from fatigue. "Freya, are you alright, lass?" He asked gently, placing a hand on her shoulder. Death by being crushed generally wasn't a bad way to go as it was usually fast. But then, the only reason it wasn't a bad way to go for him was because he would come back.
Though he didn't know it, nor would he have been able to see it, but the mutant robber behind him had rolled off the piece of the pillar that had crushed him. Deciding that this fight was over, he began to sneak towards the door. Just as he got there though, an entire fleet of police cars surrounded the building. All their guns were trained on him as he stepped out of the door then abruptly stopped. It looked as though the only way out of this for him was going to be a fight, and he wasn't going the easy way.

"What do you think, hand tossed or pan?" David asked.
"I dunno, I wouldn't mind getting stuffed crust." Bobby said.
The two had become friends over the days, having met not long after Bobby's arrival. One day David was heading out for pizza and asked Bobby if he'd care to join him. Partly because he wouldn't mind the company, and partly because it would be nice to have another guy to chat with. talk wasn't really that interesting when it was with another , always ended up being one sided. Suddenly Bobby stopped when he saw a bunch of cops surrounding a bank.
"Dave, look, something's going on over there."
"We can check it out, but I'm sure the cops have it, it's only one guy after all right?" Dave asked.

Freya groaned when she heard someone moving the stone on top of her. Oh God, let it be quick, this was agonizing! She could the person as well, struggling to move the stone... Rory? She thought... Oh Thank God he was alright! But... how was he moving the stone?! He couldn't be in the best shape, and knowing how much the stone on top of her weighed....
And then... All the weight was gone, and someone, Rory if it was him, was lifting her out of the rubble, setting her down clear of it all. Opening her eyes, she looked up into the face of her savior. Rory, like she'd guessed. But how...? She smiled weakly. "No.... Not really..." Stupid telekinetic mutant.... Now that she thought about it.. where was the mutant?! Looking up even more, she tried to find the man.... And found him in the doorway of the bank. Oh.... Great. She couldn't try to stop him now.

Rory raised a brow when she said she wasn't alright. He had to admit, she looked pretty banged up. Though he couldn't exactly say anything, he was bleeding from his leg, had a large gash on his arm, the left side of his face was scraped and blood was coming from a busted lip. So all in all he wasn't too bad, all things considered. He glanced in the direction that she was looking and also noticed the mutant standing in the doorway, strangely, he wasn't as concerned about him as he was about Freya's safety now. People who try to save him tend to get a bit more respect than most.
"Well, we'll get ya out of here and get ya to some doctors." He glanced again at the door when he heard the sirens from cop cars, perfect, he hated cops. "Can ye walk?" Again, he asked gently, fully prepared to carry her out of her if need be. Though he would likely be taking the back door, away from the cops.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(I put the line there just to make it a bit easier to tell when it is the robber)
The man looked over the situation, completely encircled by cop cars, not the best place to be. "Take off the vest and get on the ground or we will be forced to shoot you. A voice came over a loud speaker. The robber grinned smugly, raising his hands as if surrendering.
"I choose option C." With that, he brought both hands to the ground. A massive shockwave shot out in a circle around him. The entire bank shook slightly, cop cars were flipped over and most of the cops were tossed backwards if now knocked unconscious. Because it was starting to get dark some of the streetlights had come on, but all the ones near the robber had been blown out suddenly.

Everything seemed to be going pretty well. The cops had the robber surrounded, and it looked like all Bobby and David had to do was sit and watch. David snuck around to the side and looked in the window, seeing the place pretty much trashed, two people injured and alot of others cowering inside. Others in uniforms seemed to be unconcious or , he wasn't sure. He came back around and was about to tell Bobby what he saw, when the robber launched the police force surrounding him in the air.
"Woah!" the two said in unison, then Bobby looked to David with a look, "Only one guy huh?"
"Like I knew he was a mutant." David said back and Bobby just smirked, "You keep big ugly distracted, I'm gonna get those people out."
Bobby nodded and the two split up, David going around to the side, changing into his stone form, and beginning to smash a hole in the side of the bank. As soon as he gotten to the other side, he looked around the room and then to the two wounded people in the middle. He gave them a nod and looked around the bank.
"This is a rescue operation. Everybody out." He walked over to the two that were in the middle of the room, "You two ok?"
Outside, Bobby snuck around towards the stairs, keeping in the darkness while the robber was distracted by the police force. Let's see how long he can stand on his own two feet he said and touched the side of the stairs. Ice began to form from one side to the other, encasing the entire stairway in ice.

Freya grunted, shaking her head. "I don't need a doctor." She took a deep breath, closing her eyes again. "Just let rest for a second... The room keeps spinning." Her breathing was deep, trying to make up for the lack of oxygen she'd been getting under the rocks. It had made her so light headed...
A few moments passed, before Freya struggled to her feet, just near losing her balance at first. "Yeah.. let's get out of here..." She stumbled when something crashed into the building, almost losing her balance again, having to use the wall to brace herself. Looking over, she shook her head a little. "Great. I thought we were the ones handling this. Looks like others want in on the glory..."

"That's fine, but ye might have a concussion. Those can kill ye, trust me." He was speaking from experiance, not from medical knowledge. Come to think of it, there were few ways he hadn't been killed before. Electrocution had to be the worst of them though, even after he came back he was sore for a week. He held his hands at as she stood up, ready to catch her if she fell.
The building seemed to shake suddenly, as if a bomb went off outside. Then someone burst through the wall on the other side of the room. "That's how it usually is lass, someone does the hard work and someone else takes the glory." He said with a smirk as the man that looked as though he was made out of rock went to the scared bank employees and those that had been standing in line. "Come on..." He said, putting his arm around her waist and standing beside her so she could use him as support.
Suddenly the large stone man came up to him, a normal person would probably be freaked out that a giant man made out of stone was talking to them, but Rory wasn't exactly normal. "Aye, we're just peachy, stone henge; get them out of here." He said with a nod to the civilians.
He pulled Freya closer to him and began making his way toward the hole the giant rock man had made. "You know, after all this is over, ye should me take you around town, New York really isn't that b-" Rory was interrupted by a gunshot and piercing pain in his chest. He looked down to see a small hole right where his heart was, blood quickly began to cover his shirt. "Now I'm pissed..." He muttered before his grip on Freya loosened and he collapsed to the ground, blood quickly pooling around him.
-----------------------------------------------
The mutant robber, after devastating what police force had tried to stop him noticed the people inside the bank trying to get out. More specifically, he saw the jerk who hit him with a pillar about to leave. So he had quickly grabbed a gun from one of his formerly living allies and stopped the man from leaving, permanently.
He then turned the gun toward the girl and pulled the trigger, but the gun clicked and the action slid back... It was empty. A look of disgust filled his face, "There's more than one way to skin a cat." He said with a laugh, spreading his legs and lifting up with his hands. Suddenly the cop cars behind him began to rise, along with the rubble from his shockwave. He pushed his hands forward and all of the floating debris launched forward as well, with cars exploding as the crashed through the walls of the bank and towards the people inside. After all, it would be much easier to escape if there was no one left alive to remember what you looked like.

"Stone henge? Nah, names David, but my mutant name is Boulder." He smiled as he did his best to help the civilians get out.
He turned in time to see the man who spoke to him shot down. He looked towards the robber who was smiling, and his eyes narrowed angrily. He began his charge, but then noticed not only the police cars, but all the rubble outside rising into the air and...coming towards the bank. Dam, he thought as he looked behind him the people aren't out yet. He then looked outside and yelled.
"Bobby! Think fast! I can only stop so much!" he began swinging at whatever came through the wall, either knocking them down or sending them back outside.
Bobby was outside when this all happened. He heard the shot, saw the robber smile and noticed that he wasn't even slipping on the ice. He was thinking up another plan when he saw the rubble and cars rising outside and flying towards the library, then he heard David yell towards him.
"On it!" Bobby yelled back trying to think of something he could do to help. He held his hands out towards the wall and began forming a huge block of ice infront of it. He made sure that it was slanted towards the robber at the bottom, in hopes of tripping up the mutant with some of the rubble that fell.

Freya smiled a little. If they got out of here alive, she just might grow to like this man. "Yeah.... Well I don't like people taking the credit..." Freya was like that, she didn't take kindly to people stealing the spotlight. But.... In a situation like this? She'd be willing to give up her spot. The police shouldn't know of her involvement here.
She would have blushed when Rory put an arm around her waist, if it weren't for her whole lightheadedness. She just let him lead the way to where the boulder of teenager was, trying to blink away the spots in her eyes. "Yeah. I'd like that. No more bank robberies though." Freya stopped when he did, shock written on her face as surprise registered on his. What?
Then he was collapsing. Freya couldn't help it, a half scream passed her lips as she tried to support his weight. "Rory? Rory!" Her voice was frantic as he just... faded. Right in her arms. Freya actually started to go into shock. Rory was... dead? After surviving everything else he was dead?!

As the life slipped from Rory in all appearances the man was dead. After surviving a brutal beating and a gun fight that was practically a war, a single shot brought him down. The pool of blood surrounding him was quite large by now, a few of the women in the bank screamed when they saw him. Apparently they'd never seen a shot man before, funny considering the city they lived in.
Though it was impossible to tell just by looking at his limp body, almost the instant that he truly slipped away, the small wound on his chest began to heal rapidly and the larger exit wound on his back as well. The blood stopped flowing, but he was so covered with it by now that it was hard to tell that it had. To the untrained eye, he was still very much dead, but if one were to inspect him closer they would probably notice at least a few strange things; including the fact that he no longer had bullet wounds.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The mutant glared in anger as the wall of ice rose in front of him. When the debris and the cars began rolling back down towards him though, he quickly began backpeddling. On his first step backwards his foot immediately came out from under him and he slammed onto his back. Someone had frozen the stairs into the bank.
Looking up he saw a flaming cop car began rolling down toward him, reacting quickly he slammed his fist onto the ground. All of the ice immediately was shattered by the mini-shockwave. Then with a telekinetic blast, he blew the car away from him and shakily began to stand up. Now he was really angry and began wildly swinging his head around to see who had made all the ice.

David was looking back at the one who was named Rory, from the screaming at him. He pictured the same image that must've been the way his sister was with his parents and that made him angry. He turned and began pushing on the wall of ice, keeping his hands at placed that would keep it from breaking. His intention was to cause the wall to fall completely forward, in hopes that the robber was on the other side.
Outside, Bobby saw that the robber had not only dodged a car, but slipped and fell on his back on the stairs. Yes! Bullseye! is what he thought when he brought his fist inward in a sharp celebration. But it was short lived when the robber started getting up, and he looked up to see the wall of ice beginning to break of from the rest of the bank. He had a feeling that David was behind that, literally. He held out his hands again and began freezing the robber from his feet to his hips, freezing him to the stairs.

What was Freya supposed to do...? Rory was really... dead... She felt nauseous. But why was she having this sort of reaction?! She'd only just met him today!
Her blood was running cold as she held the now passed Rory in her arms, unaware of what was happening to him. Moments passed... before Freya carefully lowered Rory to the floor, rising to her feet. She didn't care if she was feeling like crap. Stepping away from his body, the temperature around her skyrocketed, easily touching a hundred degrees.
Giving her new fallen friend another look, before turning towards where the man was reluctantly messing with the robber. "If you don't kill him now, I WILL!" She spoke to the man that controlled ice, her voice wreaking of her anger and fury. This robber would pay.
((Nope, Bobby is taking to long to kill the guy XD And now Freya is out for revenge!))

(Not really much I can do with Rory right now, so just the robber in this post.)
The mutant began fire blast after blast of telekinesis at the ice accumulating around his legs. It was traveling up quickly, but not so fast that he couldn't handle it. Then his eyes followed the trail of ice back to the mutant that was freezing him. The mutant charged up a ball of telekinesis energy, then fired it at the icey mutant. He didn't take the time to see if it hit the man or not, but did see it take out the corner of the bank as it traveled toward him.
Now he focused his attention on the ice wall that was being pushed toward him. He didn't have much time to do something. "Fine, you kill me... I kill all of you." He said, most of his lower body still frozen to the sidewalk. He held his hands out to either side of him, as if gripping something very large.
After a second or so the entire bank began to groan, and the cracking of the brick walls almost sounded like thunder, it was fairly obvious that he was trying to bring the entire building down. The groaning of the building got louder and large chunks of the roof inside began to fall. He wasn't just trying to crush the building, he was succeeding. In his mind, if he was going to die, so was everyone else.

David had little chance to hurry when the bank seemed to be collapsing around him. What made matters worse was the woman had become angry and revealed herself to be a mutant. Good thing he was a rock or he would be sweatin bullets right now. Unfortunately, the people still left inside were sweating. He gave up on the wall of ice and moved to the center of the collapse, doing his best to hold it up. It was coming down and he didn't have much time before it collapsed around him.
"Hey!" He spoke towards the woman, "If you wanna cook somethin go outside! We're trying to save these people not burn them!"
Bobby flew backwards as the blast knocked him off his feet. He got up and shook his head before looking to the robber again. He was using telekinesis to bring down the bank around everybody including David. He didn't have much time left, so he did the only thing he could.
"Time for a head cold." he spoke softly to himself before launching more ice from his hands to encase around the robbers head and quickly moving down.

((I'm killing him *nod nod*))
"Then get everyone out of here." She didn't look back at the boulder man as she spoke, but she did pause for a moment. "Just.... Get Rory out of here...." She took several steps forward, standing up to her full status, an heir of importance about her. "You foolish man... You really think I care if this bank falls, as long as you pass with it?" She took several steps forward, heat radiating off of her, almost like a sun. "Now that the civilians are out of the way, I have no reason to hold back any longer. X-man. Move." How she knew Bobby was an X-men. Well, seeing as the Exiles were apart of the alliance and all.
She stood in front of the freezing man now. Suddenly, flames engulfed him, ice and all. Even the explosives strapped to his chest. She didn't care. The explosives went off, but, nothing happened at first. Then, it exploded, but somehow, the heat went skyward instead of out. "You dare think... A stupid telekinetic is a match for one of the Elensar sisters...?" He was already burnt to a fine ash though....
