Warmth In The Cold

Chapter 3

"EVERYBODY FREEZE!"

Murdocs ears went up at the sudden shouting in the quiet room and turned his head to see who the hell was yelling. his eyes landed on a tall icy blue man standing at the bank's entrance. he squinted at him while looking the man up and down 'What a loser' he thought 'Can this place get any weirder? first, there's a fuzzy pink monster, then there are flying children, and now this. jeez, this is gonna be a long night'. Murdoc sighed. soon enough, his negative stupid thoughts were swapped out with some fear as the frozen "loser" of a man started to shoot ice from his hands, freezing some people in front of Murdoc. Murdocs brows raised as he watched the beams of ice hit the others, forming them into tall cubes of ice. he didn't know what to do at that time so he stood in the same spot, but tenser.

Ace smile while looking at the people he froze. He moved past the frozen statues and headed over to the bank's vault. there was no way he was getting in by hand, so he rubbed his hands together and aimed them at the rounded piece of metal in the wall. he turned his head away and closed his eyes as he shot more ice from his hands. ace nearly fell over from how much of his power he had to use but in the end, the vault started to crack. he opened his eyes and finally looked back at it. he smiled wide and stepped aside as the vault door fell down. he poked his head inside and grinned, seeing all of the money that awaited him. He ran inside the vault and started to grab all that he could. he grabbed numerous bags and made sure they were filled to the brim. 

while ace was occupied, Murdoc was tip-toeing to the bank's front doors (he looked totally normal doing so and he didn't look sneaky at all).  he kept looking back at the vault, making sure Ace didn't see him trying to leave. As he was trying to quietly step closer to the exit, he just so happen to step on a creaky floor bored and that's where he stopped. he clenched his teeth together and slowly looked back at the vault. that's where he saw Ace looking back at him. Murdoc tried to give Ace an apologetic look but that didn't fool him. ace held the bags of money over his shoulder as he glared at Murdoc "Where do you think you're going?." Ace questioned

Murdoc smiled nervously and shrugged a little "ehe- uhm- home?.." he gulped, keeping his nervous smile plastered on his face. Ace narrowed his brows at Murdoc and walked over to him with the bags of money. "yeah, I don't think so." he now stood in front of Murdoc and looked down at him. Ace noticed their height difference and smiled to himself. he liked to mess around with people shorter than him. He set the money down and kinda towered over Murdoc, looking over him. Murdoc looked up at him as a line of nervous sweat built up on his forehead. Ace smiled more at this. he found it amusing when he inflicted fear on people. he brushed the back of his hand on Murdocs cheek "You're afraid, aren't you.." he grinned, wanting to add onto murdocs terror "I think it's cute." Ace stood up properly but kept looking down at Murdoc "I think ill be taking more than money home with me."

Murdoc looked to his left and then to his right, trying to find an escape. he then looked back up at Ace "H-how about we make a deal?- i-i have money? lots of it!-" his voice cracked at the end of the sentence. Ace only laughed "Nonsense my dear! Look at all I have now! Nice try though." he pointed at the bags of money on the ground. he smiled sweetly at Murdoc as he brought his hand back to his cheek. it was obviously cold to the touch and Murdoc tried to move away from it. that only made Ace hold Murdoc still. "hold still, this might be a bit chilly" he grinned at Murdoc as he used his power to slowly freeze the other. Murdoc panicked as he felt his body become freezing cold. he looked down at himself and watched as he froze from his feet up. murdoc tried to move away but he miserably failed. "what's wrong? cold feet?" Ace snickered, watching Murdoc panic.

Murdoc started to think to himself 'Oh dear Satan this is the end. I'm not going to see my band my daughter, my booze, nothing ever again!'. he thought as he looked up at the ceiling, accepting his fate. 'I bet they'll come looking for me though, noodle definitely. they can't not notice that I'm missing! I've got a whole band, they'll notice!'. Murdoc looked back at Ace and winced a little as he felt the ice creep up his neck. He gave ace a nervous look just as he totally froze up.

Ace smiled at the sight of Murdoc and picked up the money again. He kicked the bank doors open and made an iced path for him to glide along. he dragged Murdoc along with him as he was about to go glid along back to his hideout until he heard police sirens "shit-" he mumbled. it wouldn't be long till the Powerpuff Girls tagged along with them. he looked over at the frozen statue of a man and smiled a little "We gotta get you home then!" he spoke like Murdoc could hear. he looked around before he took Murdoc under his arm while holding the money. He opened his free hand (the arm that held Murdoc) and created a further path. he slid along it quickly with a big stupid smile on his face. he looked behind him to see the cops turn the corner and follow his ice path. he smiled down at them and slid along faster, the past ice path melting behind them.

one of the cops that drove in front of the rest looked up at Ace and grabbed their little radio speaker thing "Downtown we have a male subject that seems to be 6'0, blue, a vest and long-sleeved shirt with bags of money and a possible hostage..."
