The alarm was blaring loudly. A sound so loud and distracting, it attracted bystanders nearby. Curiosity to see what was going on. After a few minutes the police had arrived on the scene. And where stationed outside the bank. They set up barricades and a female cop grabbed a microphone from the back of her vehicle.
"WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED. LET GO OF THE HOSTAGES AND WE'LL LET YOU LEAVE!" She shouted.
Inside the bank. The hostages looked in horror at the bank robbers arguing with each other.
"The fuck you mean you don't have a plan! You're the guy who planned this whole thing!" Shouted Bank robber 3.
"Yes and I'm not not denying that. But our getaway driver bailing on us is something I overlooked." Bank robber 1 said in a defeated tone.
"Well you're gonna have to come up with something quick. I can take out the guys with riot armour but if they call a hero it's over." Bank robber 2 stated.
"Yeah I know." Bank robber said as he looked at the floor. Deep in thought.
"Well then think of something smartass!!" Bank Robber 3 shouted.
Bank Robber 1 proceeded to scan his surroundings, he looked at the hostages, terrified looks plastered all over there faces. He looked at his equipment, rifle's, bags of money and 3 vials of a purple liquid called Adrenomorph. He took 1 vial and gave it to robber 2. "You said you could take the guys right? Then do that. I'll come back for you."
Bank robber 2 looked at him plainly. "Be quick" as he drank the vial of Adrenomorph. His heart began to beat at a fast rate. His muscles grew exponentially. His powers radiated off of him like a leaky faucet. The two bank robbers immediately grabbed the bags of money and ran towards the stairs.
Moments Earlier back outside. The lady had already given up on them. She had a feeling her bluff would fail. The police where very understaffed because of the governments increases funding into hero agencies and so the equipment they had was old and most of their manpower became superheroes. If one of them had powers or even worse Adrenomorph. She would be finished. And she couldn't lose anymore policemen and women. So she did what she hated doing the most. She called for a hero.
He arrived quickly.
"Well look who it is calling for help." He said arrogantly.
"*Ahem* Mr. Silo, here's the situation at han-"
"Don't worry, I read the mission brief. On that note we should catch up Lisa! It's been awhile."
Lisa sighed "I wish it wouldve been longer."
"You don't mean that." Mr. Silo wasn't a particularlt popular hero but his effectiveness in missions was off the charts.
He walked into the bank and quickly read the room. He saw a juiced up meta human ready to fight and two amateurs trying to escape carrying black bags. He sighed. "Another bunch of dumbasses.. HEY LOOK GUYS THERES NO POINT IN RUNNING! YEAH YOU GUYS OVER THERE!."
The 2 bank robbers ignored Silo and kept running up the stairs.
"They really think they can escape me huh." Silo said as the juiced up bank robber dashed towards him.
The bank robbers arrived at the rooftop. Breathing heavily.
"What the fuck man! ? What are we gonna do?!" Bank robber 3 exclaimed.
"Relax!" Bank robber 1 couldn't hide the stress in his voice.
"We can stil-".
Just then they're ally erupted from below them. He landed right of the edge of the roof. Bleeding profusely and swollen everywhere.
"No no no no. This was a mistake! Why am I here! I shouldve just gotten a job and lived a normal life" Bank robber 3 rambled on and on as his former lay on the edge of building. Not moving a muscle.
"Welp. Time to go guys. Don't make this more difficulty than it has to be. Just come along and maybe you'll get some years shaved off your prison sentence. "
Mr. Silo's suit barely had a scratch on it and his sword lay on his back. Unsheathed.
Bank robber 1 was panicking. He knew that he didn't have a choice. He had to turn himself in.
Bank robber 3 fell to his knees. "I'm sorry!" He cried. "I'm so sorry mom! I just wanted to help you. Please forgive me." Both Mr. Silo and Bank robber 1 heard this. Silo's face darkened, almost as if hiding something. His finger began to Twitch. He clenched it quickly. Bank robber 1 stated at his ally. Holding back tears. "This is all my fault. I dragged him into this." He thought.
"Mr. Hero sir...." The robber spoke.
"Just call me Silo."
"Yeah um. In the ringleader of this operation. Everything, was planned and orchestrated by me. I manipulated and blackmailed these people into joining me so please. Let them go and take me in. I know it's against you're code of duty bu-"
" If you really are the manipulative maniac you claim to be then you wouldn't be sacrificing yourself for them."
The bank robber was shocked. His plan had failed.
"Go downstairs and turn yourself in. I'll take care of the two of them."
The bank robber Express immediately shifted to confusion. It took him a second to understand what Silo was saying. He looked at the hero wide-eyed. "What will you-"
"Don't worry, they won't go to jail. You can relax." Silo watched as the robber smiled joyfully. Silo couldn't understand it. "You do know that you're probably never gonna see you're friends again right. This is a serious crime you've committed they won't hold back."
"I know. But if they're okay then it's worth it." The bank robber jogged downstairs. Leaving Silo alone with the 2 individuals. He turned to look at bank robber 3. "Got nothing to say?".
The bank robber took an extra second looking at nothing before replying with. "Nothing." He failed to hold back tears as Silo carried him and the other bank robber. Silo then disappeared with the 2 of them.
In the ground floor. Lisa was fuming. She called Silo " What happened to the other 2 robbers Silo!?" She shouted.
"I'll explain everything to you later so relax. Just cover me okay. I got a lot of paperwork to do and I'm not trying to go to court over this."
"Then why would you-"
"Because good people don't deserve to go to that hell hole Lisa."
Lisa thought about Silo's words then sighed.
"Okay fine. But you'll owe me a fuck ton for this."
"Will do. Thanks." Lisa hung up.
She looked to the sky as her Crew was tidying up. "What are you gonna do this time Lisa?"
