Becca looked at Beth eyeing her as she had a pinkish glow around her. This was getting weirder by every second. She closed her eyes when the sounds of gun shots started. She was going to get killed because she was too afraid to kill everyone in here using her power.
She glanced at James as he asked about shadows. “What?” We are going to get killed and he wants shadows. She looked around spotting a darker spot by the wall. “Over there.” She pointed to the wall not knowing what he was up to.

Beth watched in fear, the situation was escalating quickly, and she was going to have to think twice. Of course she had no idea that she was standing next to two other people with abilities, and she probably wouldn’t find out unless something happened.
But everything was happening so quickly she really had no idea what to do anymore. She couldn’t decide what to do, or when, and was quickly running out of time. Then shots where fired. Beth panicked, her ability activating as she ran forwards at the robbers, throwing a punch at one of them. She was surprised when they caught her punch, throwing her onto the floor. She crashed down, helpless.

"Uh, well..." James really didn't know how to tell Becca about his powers. It really wasn't something he told a random stranger on a daily basis. He was sure the phrase 'I have superpowers' was sure to get a shock out of anyone.
He looked at the spot of shadow. It looked big enough.If he could just get his shadow to reach it, it might actually magnify his own shadow size and give him the reach he needed. Suddenly a gun shot rang out. Instinctively, he reached over and pulled Becca down, getting a bullet to the shoulder. He gritted his teeth in pain, trying not to yell out.

Becca watched as Beth was thrown down. How did she get to them? This has to be the Company. They want pay back. Becca was lost in her thought when she noticed James pushing her down. She looked at him as she saw the blood. “James are you okay?”
That was the stupidest question she had ever asked anyone. He wasn’t ok none of them were. She looked at the robbers who had made there way to the cash register getting all the money they could. She touched James shoulder trying to stop the bleeding. “I need you help.” She looked over at Beth then back at James. “I think my old boss is behind this. This might seem strange but a Earth quake is about to hit New York on this exact spot. Do you think you can get everyone out of here?”

Beth screamed when a shot was fired. She saw it hit James, and almost instinctively her ability was activating again. She was going to have to explain this when it was all over. And it wasn’t the sort of thing that people could understand, that she was able to move at effectively super speed, and predict outcomes accurately.
It was a complicating thing to do, but she had to do something now, or she could die. There was a strong pink glow off her, as she dashed back slightly. It was only a few feet, but it caught the robbers off guard. At least for a second, then she looked up. The robber with the shotgun was aiming it at her face.

James looked up from where he fell. The searing pain in his arm was a good indication that a bullet was lodged in it.HE tried to ignore it, but the pain was to much. This obviously wasn't a normal sized bullet. He noticed through the coner of his eye that the gun was pointed at someone's face now. Acting on instint, James sent out his shadow. It stretched out like a rubber band, flying swiftly through the tile floor. It connected with Beth's shadow. His powers forced Beth's body to mimic his, efficiantly forcing her to drop down, just as the bullet was fired. However the use of his ability put too much strain on him and he passed out.
OOC: Skip over me for a while

Becca watched as James did something to protect Beth. This was getting to weird. She crawled over to where Beth was since James had passed out. “What do we do?” Questioning as she looked at James hoping he didn’t die on them. “I think James has a power.” She bluntly stated not sure why but she could almost sense that he did before he showed it to the two.
By the time she had made her way over to Beth the robbers were walking around grabbing money from harmless people. This wasn’t good. Becca looked over to Beth. “I can make a Earthquake hit here but that means we have to get everyone out first. Have any plans?”

Beth looked around in disbelief, not even completely sure how she was still alive, hadn’t that guy with the shotgun had it pointed at her. She had felt herself being forced back away, and onto the floor, but still didn’t have any idea of any form why. Then Becca had crawled over to her. “He isn’t the only one.” She said, when Becca had mentioned that James may have a power. “I have a sort of ability to predict probabilities, and move at a sort of super speed.” She wouldn’t have time to explain why.
Then Becca began to mention that she could make an earthquake hit here, but when she asked Beth how to get the people out of her, she could think of anything. Even her power couldn’t help her, so she would have to tell Becca. “I don’t know.” She whispers, trying to think of someone. Even with her speed, there was no chance of her having the strength to move everyone.

Becca looked at Beth now knowing why she was here. She had met two people with powers while being held hostage. Looking around Becca found a back door which wasn’t guarded. “There’s a back door that no one is at.” She whispered keeping her voice as low as possible. “If we can get them to go to the back I can try to stop them using my power.”
She looked at the girl hoping she understood. “It might work but I’m not sure. We just need a distraction.” She knew if somehow they went to the back she could easily trap them there shaking the ground they stood on and not harming the others.

Beth understood what would be needed. Standing up slowly, she looked at the robbers, who had momentarily taken their eyes off the two, and where proceeding to beginning searching around for anything that they could steal. This was just what Beth would need.
Her ability kicked in as she stood up, immediately running towards the door, deliberately making some noise, so that she would be noticed. As she had planned, one of the robbers noticed, yelling at her to get down. Now she just needed to see if what Becca was planning would work.

Becca ran for the door praying that they wouldn’t shoot her or Beth. She stumbled to the outside that was an alleyway no less. Best place for these things. She then waited till the robbers all but one ran to the alley way. “Watch this boys.”
She put her hand to her side her palm facing the ground which made the ground shake. It was working. Her plan had worked. She looked around not seeing the boss out there with his crew. “Crap Beth.” She muttered hoping she didn’t sentence her new ally.

Beth to be fair, wasn’t doing completely badly, sure someone was aiming a shotgun at her, but now that Becca had gone, she could start to run again, moving around as fast as she could. She had to, since if she moved any slower she may get shot at, or killed.
It was really scary, that if Beth moved any slow she could be killed, so she had to keep moving, making a random pattern that would be impossible to predict, even for her. She just had to hope that Becca would have a plan to get the other robber knocked out or something.

Becca shook the ground knowing it would probably be felt for some miles. She had to do this. The ground broke apart where the robbers were and a couple fell loosing their balance and hurting themselves. “That’s what you get.”
Their was one last man who wouldn’t fall down she had to think fast. Running up to the man she pressed her hand on his chest and worked her power making him fall to the ground. She touched his wrist making sure he was alive before she walked back into the building. “Hey buddy why don’t you check out where your friends are?” Becca nodded hoping Beth would pick up on her plan. If she didn’t she would be dead in minutes.

Beth felt some vibrations on the ground, and almost lost her footing. Mugs where smashing onto the ground, and she was doing well just to avoid them, and keep moving randomly. It was difficult, but the robber who was left was struggling as well.
Then Becca walked back into the shop, taking the attention of the remaining robber. That was all that Beth would need. Sprinting towards him at super speed, she managed to knock into his back, forcing him onto the ground, the shotgun flying off and clattering onto the ground, near to Becca.
Then Beth could look up, looking around. Even though there where numerous people staring at her, wondering how she could do what she could, that wasn’t even what she was thinking of. Breathing heavily she looked around, trying to work out where James was. He was injured.

Becca looked to the floor where the gun landed. “That was close.” She grabbed the gun pointing it at the man as she looked at Beth then to James. “We should go before anyone comes.” Anyone meaning an evil company who will lock us up.
She walked over to James who was on the floor. “Help me pull him out.” Looking at Beth as if she wanted to know she meant her. “I’ll give you my business card and you can call me if anything like this happens again just don’t trust Primatech Paper Company.”
