X looked over as he saw Athena float in, and immediately felt an odd tickle in the back of his mind. This sensation told him the girl was a telepath, trying to read his thoughts, to which he responded by focusing on one image to block her out. Like a wall, this image formed and settled into his subconcious, further preventing her from prying where she had no business. "A guy can't offer his contribution to prove he deserves to be part of something good?" he asks, his left hand moving behind the chair casually as he narrows his eyes at Athena, "You could trust I got it from a reliable source, or else it wouldn't have worked at all." He looks over at the screen, showing the adjustments Matthew had made.
"So you're the head of this ragtag group," X continues, looking back at Athena. Before he can speak again, however, his eyes widen as Nova slams some files onto console. He looks at the fiery girl as she reveals the history of the suit which he was currently wearing, his left hand quietly gripping a red shuriken that formed in his palm. While they all listened, he chips away the ice on his cape.
Then the tower shudders. "This'll have to wait," he says, any hint of humor in his synthesized voice gone as his right hand taps on the keys, revealing a cross section of the tower, where a portion of it was flashing red in alert. "Move Titans," he calls out, his hand moving from the console to his belt and tapping the button in the middle, "I'll meet you there." His image distorts before vanishing without a trace.
He reappears outside of Kaine's room, waiting for the door to slide open with shuriken gripped in his left hand ready to throw. He lowers the throwing star after seeing there was no need for it, wandering into the destroyed portion of the tower and stamping out some of the smaller fires. With that done, he walks to the undamaged wall and leans against it to wait for the others. "Guess that's one off the list."

Athena looked at Red X not sure what to think, was he just helping or did he have a secret agenda. The telepath was almost enraged by the fact that she was not able to read the guys mind. Just as Athena was about to say something Nova comes into the room and slams down her hand with a file in it, Athena immediately begins to read the fire brands mind out of habit, she didn't go deep but just scanned the top layer of her thoughts but she discovered Nova's hatred of this and pulls back and lets her explain. Athena looks to Red X ready to slam him to a wall if he tried anything but she was interrupted by a loud crash and the whole tower shaking. It seemed that the boy took the sudden explosion to take the heat of himself and even had the gull to try and order the Titans to follow, she knows that the Titans are all looking at her and she motions them to follow him to what seems like Grimm's room.
Matthew is having more fun then he'd like to admit but there was so many things that were now open, whoever this Red letter guy was just saved him countless hours trying to crack encoded passwords. Tech was so zoned that he hardly even reacted to Nova's little dramatic entrance, he glances at the file then his eyes quickly went back to the computer until the tower shakes and a damage warning popped up on the monitor stating that there was damage to one of the walls in Grimms room. Tech got up and followed behind the others and hoped that Grimm was alright.
Katarina washed up, changed her now shredded clothes, and relaxes on her giant bed for a few minutes before becoming bored. She gets up and throws on a light jacket before heading out, she nodes to the doorman of the up scale apartment as she leaves and is met with a kind smile. Kat walks down to a little coffee shop, the best in town and it was the perfect place to get in some good people watching. She orders her usual cup of hot chocolate mixed with french vanilla cappuccino and takes a seat in the back of the shop that has a perfect view of the entrance and begun to watch the people that walked in.
Snow still waited even as Red X vanished towards the noise that shook them all. Her blue eyes locked on Athena for any kind of Order and ignoring what Red X ordered in her place. She knew who their Leader was. She knew who pulled her away from the darkness of being no where to the brightness of being somewhere. Part of something. Athena was her leader and at the moment had Snows respect. This Red X was new to her. She did not know him and already saw his barking of orders as Offensive though she didnt seem to show it.
At Athenas Order she turned and rushed down the hallway towards Grimms room. She planted both feet down just before the door, the ground beneath her feet freezing to allow her to slide the rest of the way with the Ice disolving only seconds after it was formed. Ice talons covered her hands and she stepped into the room to see the destruction. An entire wall was missing showing the world beyond. She could feel the residual heat left over from fires that were once ignited here but seemed to be gone. Snow looked side to side until she found Red X. Upon seeing him she took a step further into the room, her bright blue eyes locked upon him, being the only one in the room at the moment, and holding her usual bland expression.
X stood against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, tapping his foot to the seconds that passed as he waited for the others to arrive. He was a bit surprised when it was Snow to first turn up. He watched as the girl surveyed the room before stepping in, noticing the ice claws she had formed, and staring him down. Her face was stoic, but he knew she wasn't as emotionless as she let on. "You're fast," he said after a low whistle of appreciation, pushing off the wall and walking towards her, lowering his arms to his sides. He stopped a few feet away and stood there staring back at her for a moment before leaning his head in and narrowing his eyes at her. "Like what you see?"

"Some chicks dig masks, dollface," he replies with a small laugh as he straightens up and takes a step back. He raises his arms up shrugs. "Took a liking to it, myself, or I wouldn't be wearing it." With that he turns around, walking back over to the wall and resuming his leaning posture, looking at Snow for a moment longer before turning his eyes to the door, waiting for the others to arrive.

Athena and Matt enter the room at the same time to find Snow and Red X in an awkward stare off. The giant hole in the wall was hard to miss, Matthew grabbed his hair at the sight. The tech turns to a little screen and key pad and taps at the keys and a video plays showing that Grimm himself.had made the hole, there were security cams in every room that everybody knew about that could only be watched inside the same room and the recording lasted 24 hours before deleting. "We'll we can rule out attacks..." He said angry that now he'd have to get this fixed.
Athena seemed a bit saddened she knew that she would never see Grimm again. The psychic quickly hides her sadness from her team not wanting to show any weakness, "It seems that Grimm has left us, it was best he'd abandon us like this rather then on the field." She said coldly.
"Is that what you get out of this?" X asks, watching the twins after his staring contest with Snow was over, "Don't you think you should be asking why he felt the need to leave in the first place? Not to mention the damage to the tower." He walks over to the gap, folding his arms across his chest and standing on the edge as the wind rushes by, causing his cape to billow out briefly. "Not a good sign for things starting," he muttered under his breath, narrowing his eyes as he stared out into the distance.

The girl remained in the main room to look around. It seemed everyone but her had left to go to where the explosion sound was. Her eyes glanced at the computer with interest. Nobody was using it now. Nova was a bit troubled by the teams whole commitment to investigating an explosion, especially when they have a psychic. There were many ways to scout out what happened without the entire team abandoning the computer. She ignored this and finally began gathering up the files again with a sigh. The information should be filed onto the computer again and reformat so they could update their information, but the girl was hardly a computer expert. She would have to wait for one of those others to come back. What a pain.
The tower's alarm suddenly went off once more. The girl's eyes had widened and she roared a flamethrower across the top of the supercomputer. She burped smoke afterward. Those who got to know her well would know she reacts negatively to surprise. After ejecting flames from her mouth, the girl tried to access the computer but it was clear there was a miserable problem going on with it. She seemed to bring up everything but the actual warning system. Finally, in anger, the girl gave a hard punch to the controls. A three dimensional map of Jump City appears on the screen. A red dot is seen over the map at what appears to be a bank on the east side of the city. The girl takes a few steps back from the computer and watches, as if in amusement. A bank? Originality must not be one of their strong suits. The girl decided to wait there until the others returned. If she went on her own, she knew that Athena would try to read her mind to figure out what was going on.
Olli's shift was over 30 minutes ago and he was at the bank trying to cash his check. Jump City National Bank was only half as crowded as it usually was an hour before closing. Olli thought that it was his lucky day. He'd be out of the bank before 6 pm. He was smiling to himself, remembering the work day and what happened.
A little boy, who was no more than three or four years old, was standing next to Olli with his mother. The boy was staring at Olli with his finger in his nose while the mother held his other hand. The person in front of the woman was a middle aged man who was doing his best to flirt with the young, attractive teller while she counted his money. The old lady in front of Olli was sputtering something about not knowing that she needed an id card to get her own money out of the bank. The teller she was speaking to was looking exasperated. There was also an elderly security guard loudly snoring in a chair next to the entrance/exit of the bank.
Olli was thinking how stupid it was of the bank to hire such a frail looking man when the doors to the bank were blasted open. The old man in the chair was knock out of it and Olli and the lady and her young son were knocked back by the blast and dust. With the little boy screaming out of fear and the dust hampering everyone's eyesight, Olli could only think of how he knew something like this would happen at the end of his day.

The explosion was so strong that it blew the entire front half of the bank apart, while no civilians were killed, many were injured and under debris from the destruction. Smoke was covering much of it and there were fires everywhere, hindering vision. The sound of a woman screaming and a man chuckling loudly could be overheard. In only a few seconds after, a man in red spandex was running out toward the exit with two giant bags of what is assumed to be money over his shoulders. He shouted out with a cocky demeanor.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Ya'll better work on your security, I ain't never had a job this easy!" The chuckling man's voice is a bit high and has a southern accent to it. He escapes the bank without issue and looks around for a get away. To on lookers, it might be clear that he had no clear plan of escape but to him there was no need for such a thing. Anything that got in his way, he'd blow up. He started running down the street to the right of the bank to what appeared to be a pick-up truck with a large explosive tank in it.
Athena stared at the back of X's head, he was lucky she didn't have laser eyes cause he'd fine a large hole in his skull. "You didn't know Grimm or his struggles to stay here, so don't act as if you know anything about us..." Athena says showing a bit of anger but was interrupted by the sound of the alarm system and the sudden stop of it. Athena turned to leave the room, "leave, we don't have time to deal with you, consider this your only warning."
Matthew had a pain look on his face, he rarely saw Athena angry and when she was it didn't end well for the person she was angry at. "Sorry guy she the boss lady so what she says goes..."Matthew says disappointed. Tech hits a button on the key pad and a giant metal panel slammed down covering the hole until Tech had time to fix it then followed Athena leaving Snow alone with Red X.
As the two walked through the hall Athena made a telepathic connection with Matt, ~The suit's technology, can you disrupt it if need be?~ Matthew thought for a second, ~Yeah, I could I felt a connection to it but I think it's powered by something really strong...the teleportation device would need a lot of energy.~ Athena nodded happy with the technopath's answer.
Entering the common room Matt let out a loud high pitched scream seeing the damage that Nova had caused, "M-My baby!" he says running to the super computer and checking if there was any damage to the software, seeing that there wasn't he scowls at Nova, "Your evil aren't you..." Athena ignores Matthew's girlish scream and looks at the warning on the screen, "a bank robbery, Titans Go!" she looks at the couch where Vex is still sitting and realizes he hasn't moved and was still rubbing his back where Ghost had reached in, she quickly scanned his mind and knew they had lost another Titan. Athena sighed and lifted of the floor ready to make her way to the bank when Tech stopped her, "Hey I made these communicators so you don't have to make a telepathic connection to speak to the team anymore," he says handing one to Athena and one to Nova still scowling at the fire binder.
Athena takes the communicator from Tech, "stay here for this one, make sure Red X leaves and coordinate from here." The Titan's leader flies out of the now open window and makes a b-line to the location the screen gave. Athena saw the damage to the bank and the people that were under the debris. Athena flew down and lifted the rubble off the people and made sure they were okay. she pulls out her new communicator, "Titans it looks like the criminal is on the move," she says. "I have vision on the guy via satellite, sending new coordinates now." he said .
X turned around as Athena spoke, watching her leave, before looking at Snow and Matthew. "She's got a point," He says, pushing off the edge. "See you later," he chuckles as the panel closes, blocking him from view. He closes his eyes, free falling for a moment before pushing the teleporter button, his image distorting and vanishing.

Snow watched in her usual silence as Matthew checked the Camera Feed. The Titans were dropping out faster then ice melts under a Summer sun at noon. She listened to the others speak and watched as Athena and Matthew left following Reds exit. Snow was once again left alone with no orders to follow. Her eyes went to the large plate that covered the hole for a moment before she looked to the Camera in the corner of the room, tilting her head slightly.
After a few moments she turns and makes her way out to the main hall where Matthew was at the computer. She said nothing but just looked at the monitor blinking at a certain location. Athena must have gone to the area. she double checked the location before she turned in silence and jumped out a window, forming Ice blocks at her feet and using them as jumping pedestals again. It took her a bit of time to get to the Location. A Bank. She wasnt given a communicator so she didnt get the message of what was going on. She landed at the bank and looked about. People chatted about a yougn girl who helped them out of rubble. Athena.
Snow walked over to them and said in her seemingly cold voice... "Which way did the girl go?" As soon as she got the direction she turned and ran off after Athena and the Bank Robber.
Olli was helping the people in the bank get out safely when he heard a familiar voice stating that whoever just blew the bank wide open was escaping. He looked at the few people who were in the bank and sized them up. No one was seriously hurt, not even the old man who was knocked out of his chair. When Olli realized this and got everyone calm, he ran out of the building.
There were a lot of people hurt. He heard sirens in the distance and knew that they would be able to do way more than he could. He was looking around for Athena after hearing her voice but instead saw the ice girl running through the air on some ice.
He was beyond relieved that he had decided to take his moped to work instead of the car as he was able to get it going almost instantly and race through all of the chaos that was going on. He kept his eye on the girl with the ice powers as much as he could while zig-zagging through traffic.
For someone who is running on ice, he thought to himself as he raced passed a vehicle whose oporator was giving Olli the finger, She's surprisingly fast.

Nova chucked the files aside and ran to the window after Athena and while Snow did. Rather then jumping gracefully, she seemed to hop out and fall. A few inches out of the window as she fell, her feet had pressed to the side of the tower. Friction was built up when suddenly-- Nova pushed off and her arms were flung back, releasing a flame that roared with fury equal only to her own. She was launched like a rocket to follow the directions she saw, only barely able to keep sight of the others as she flew.
The villain named Boomy had continued running even when the super powered vigilantes appeared. His face grew with a grim look, yet there was something not quite convincing about his apparent fear. Oh great, more Super Zeroes, just what I need! Boomy didn't wait for the heroes to catch up with him and he chucked both bags of money into the back of the truck. There's no way he'd be able to outrun them, so he knew he'd have to create some sort of distraction. The villain glanced quickly around in hopes of finding a decoy-- a building. A family. Perfect. He took a step from the truck and pointed both fingers at the building and shouted; "Boom!" The building by the bank suffered several quick explosions when he spoke. Debris fell from above toward a group; an older woman and two children. The woman took them close and ducked, unable to get out of the way fast enough. Boomy knew he'd have a perfect chance to get away now while the vigilantes were busy saving the innocents.
Olli had fell behind as he tried to keep up with the ice girl, who had a clear path running through the air on her ice platforms, because traffic picked up with motorists trying to steer out of the way for the emergency vehicles that were trying to get to the damaged bank. He was behind a pickup truck when another series of explosions rang out not twenty feet away from him and caused Olli to crash into the back of the truck in front of him. As the boy tumbled off of his already beat up moped, the scene completely froze in front of him in about a twenty foot radius in every which way.
The ear-splitting booms had caused a painful ringing in his ears, so Olli couldn't any type of noise and the only thing that he was focused on at the moment was two kids and their mother who were all frozen in a crouching position together with a giant chunk of brickwork frozen right over them. All Olli could see as he scrambled off the ground and over to the family was the look of sheer terror on both children's faces. He dived at the trio and managed to tackle all three out of the way just as the brickwork slammed onto the ground and shatter into smaller pieces.
One sharp piece grazed Olli's cheek, leaving behind a deep gash. He stayed splayed over the family to shield them as the rest of the debris crumbled around them. Another smaller but heavy piece of brickwork fell on Olli's leg he kept himself from screaming out because the two small children were already doing enough of that and he didn't want to add to it. When everything was finally settled, Olli quickly removed himself off of the family and asked the woman if they were all okay. She simply stared at him was a dirty face and teary eyes.
"Thanks to you," she struggled to say. The two little kids were coughing because there was so much dust but Olli could tell they were okay. He didn't realize that they were buried under the debris until he saw a streak of light and heard people screaming out to them.
"We're all okay," Olli shouted back.
"We'll have you outta there in a jiffy," a gruff voice replied.
Olli looked up to see what he assumed was a corner piece of the building had fallen over them and shielded them from the remaining debris. He was extremely thankful for that because he was sure they were all going to be human pancakes otherwise.
"It's going to be okay," Olli cooed to the two children as their mother was trying to get them to calm down. "We're all going to be fine. They'll have us out of here any minute now." He let out a big sigh. What else could happen this day?

Suddenly the cracks of light took on a blue hue color and it began to get colder. The bricks started to frost over until everything but Olli and the family was covered in ice.
Snow stood there, palms outwards to the Debri that englufed the people beneath. Her face looked strained and a bead of sweat came to her temple as she had coated a large looking shell of ice with the bricks and rubble within. She twisted her hands to have her palms upwards and then with arms shaking began to lift them upwards. With this motion the Ice Shell began to lift upwards at an angle, keeping the extra rubble from falling on them more but also allowing space for them to crawl out. She wasnt actually lifting the Ice physically just manipulating the Ice mentally to do what she wanted. She looked to Olli and the family and spoke in her normal bland tone but this time with soem added strain..
'It is not a good time for Hide and Seek. But I found you anyway.'
Her actions were followed by gasps and awe of the peopel around her as she helped these folks out from the dangerous rubble.

Boomy continued moving now, convinced that there would be no way for them to be able to catch him. He ran for the door of the truck but was cut off by a roaring flame being tossed from atop his truck. "Holy hair on a cowboy, what in blazes--" Boomy had stumbled back from the flame to see a girl standing in the back of his truck. "Well hello there cutie" The girl slid her feet and rotate her body clockwise to swing a leg toward him, but they were distanced. Boomy didn't know what to expect but when the girl finished the kick, a wave of flame came crashing down toward him. Boomy's eyes were wide and he dove out of the way away from the truck and the flame. Nova wasted no time with this and grabbed both bags of money tightly, turning her body left to chuck the right handed bag and right to chuck the left handed bag. Both bags were sent off the way they came with impressive strength. They would crash into the ground and roll across it toward one of the other Titan's just making it onto the scene.
Boomy managed to recover and sit up in time to see Nova swing a foot back in the truck, as if a bull preparing to charge. Flames had just released from the soul of her foot and traveled across the back of the truck, igniting the explosive canister.
BOOM!
With Nova's arms being swung back and creating the same means of transport, she is launched away as the explosion erupts from the truck, destroying it and leaving a small crater. The explosive force from the truck was enough to send Boomy back even while distanced. The girl seemed to have some level of understanding that they weren't trying to kill him, as she saved him from suffering a fate from her last action.
When Boomy once again recovered in time to look up; he met Nova's legs which kicked him strongly back across the ground. Considering the nearby ice element vigilante and the approaching psycho leader; it was ensured. Boomy was trapped between three of the Titans with no where to go. With his get away vehicle destroyed, he wouldn't be able to escape. The only way for him to escape now would be succeeding in-- WHOA! Without warning an explosion erupted against the ground beneath Nova's feet, sending her flying. backward. She had gasped, realizing through the smoke that the villain had somehow caused it, but was unsure how. Boomy turned from facing her with a smirk and tried to run off past the building that he had previously attacked with his powers.
While Snow was lifting the Ice dome to allow the people beneath to get free of the Rubble she looked to the side to see Boom running in their direction. She pulled one hand from control of the Dome and it haulted in its rise and came back down an inch causing her to fall to one knee in an effort to keep it up. Her now free hand is pointed out into Booms path and with a burst of Ice, freezes the path infront of him in an attempt to make him slip and fall or perhaps just slow him down. Her task was the help these people and she would have to leave Boom to the others for now.
