"Are you in a secure location?" Red Hood asked.
"Yeah, I am at my new team's hideout." Ricky answered.
"The abandoned mansion? Okay, well grab some of them and hit the Sionis Industries Offices." Red Hood ordered. "I do not care about how many of his people you kill or do not kill just as long as you make a distracting mess." He then hung up.
"Tonight?" One of them asked.
"Yeah." Ricky nodded his head.

"Okay… Sionis Industries Offices are in downtown. It is usually heavily guarded. But because of what happened tonight there is a good chance there is not as much guarding the place. But we should make a bang to scare away anyone that would want to do business with them." As Ricky spoke he pocketed his phone. Quickly moving it into his inventory and putting the phone case on it. Then moving it back to his pants.
"So who should go?" One of them asked. "I doubt you want all of us to go."
"We only need four of us. So I will be going along with three others. We will take two cars. One of yours and the other, the car that we stole. I have a plan for it." Ricky declared. "I am going to need someone good with explosives. Some explosives. And a pair of people to cover us." Ricky explained.
"I can help with explosives," the woman who he came with declared while raising her hand. "I go by Sweetie."
"I will help with covering fire." The person who volunteered was the person who was wearing the green and black outfit. "They call me Vine. I know things. I am good at digging up information."
"I will help as well, I want to see our 'boss' in action." The woman who spoke was heavily accented from the middle east if he is right. She had darker skin and was dressed in a black and gold outfit. "I go by Coin. Let's just say I am good at what I do."
"That's four. Let's work on our plan." Ricky told them as he looked the woman up and down. They then grouped up together. Sweetie leaving Gearbox to Mich who seemed to be a doctor. Less than an hour later they were on the road again.
He had collected all of his group's code names and put them in his phone. But now he was on a call with Sweetie, Coin, and Vine. Who were in the other car. He was driving the stolen car that was full of explosives.
Apparently he had ended up with two of the three women who were part of this unit. Which was an odd or almost fateful circumstance. One he would definitely take the pleasure in dealing with later.
"This seems like a reckless plan. Are you sure about it?" Sweetie asked in confusion.
"Yeah, it is easier this way. I just need you on call for when I find wherever they keep their weapons. I will have you explain how I can make a bomb out of it." Ricky explained as he looked at the bag full of explosives. "I really just need you guys for the escaping part of my plan."
"I suppose this works, Red Hood only asked us to make a mess." Coin agreed. "A quick payday no doubt. Did you get paid for the other job yet?"
"I doubt it." He answered her. "He probably has too much with the counter attack to think about paying us. I will remind him in the morning."
"Thanks. I don't think he will be answering the rest of us anymore." She pointed out.
Ricky grunted in agreement and then picked up his phone. "I am hanging up now. We are almost there. Go park on the structure a block away." He then hung up.
A few moments later the Sionis Industries Offices building was in view. The front of it was a glass walled lobby. It was mostly empty except for a few guards. He stepped on the gas and sped up.
CRASH!
He crashed through the windows causing the guards to scream in panic as the car bounced before crashing into the front desk. The airbag unleashed hitting him in the gas mask. But he ignored the momentary impact as he climbed out of the car pulling with him the bag of shape charges.
He walked to the elevator and clicked the button the door opened and he walked inside. But as the elevator door was closing one of the guards jumped in and pointed his gun at Ricky. Ricky smacked the gun to the side and back handed the guard. There was a crisp smack followed by him grabbing the guard by the throat and lifting him up.
"Where is the security room?" Ricky asked as he hit the button for a few floors up.
"I won't tell- Garagh!" Ricky slammed him into the back of the elevator. There was a creaking of metal as it dented. "On second thought, I remember it is on the fifth floor." Ricky frowned and looked at the button he hit. It was the fifth floor.
Ricky frowned and looked back at the guard, "if the security room is not on the fifth floor, I will be throwing you out of a window." He tightened his grip and the guard choked on his spit for a second before Ricky loosened his grip.
"I was serious, I also know the boss is on the top floor in his office. A chopper with heavy duty weapons just landed on the roof. We are undermanned because the boss sent everyone out. Then there is a cache of weapons and explosives on the sixth floor." The guard began quickly talking like his life depended on it.
Ricky nodded as he processed the information. This might have more of an effect then he originally intended. But he can just lay the blame on Red Hood, he was the one that told him to make a mess. He just did not specify how bad of a mess it had to be.
The elevator dinged and the elevator opened up. Standing just outside it were a pair of security guards who looked like they were waiting for it. When the door opened up they both flinched and went for their guns. But Ricky threw their friend at them. Knocking all of them down.
As he walked by one of them tried to stand up. But Ricky slammed his boot down on the man's hand. Causing him to scream in pain.
Almost the entire floor was a security room with only half a dozen guards aside from ones he just walked over. The nearest one was by a rack of weapons. He pulled a gun from the rack and pointed it at Ricky.
Several bullets dug into his bullet proof vest. Ricky ignored the slight tingle and walked forward pulling the gun out of the guard's hand and slamming his boot into the side of their leg. There was a crunch as the guard began screaming. He then pointed the newly acquired pistol at the other guards who pointed their own weapons at him.
"You have two options. You can fight me and end up injured or dead. Or you can evacuate the building, getting everyone out before the bombs go off." Ricky told them as he walked toward one of the electrical consoles. "Now where is the button I need to press to force a full building evacuation?"
