Pov: Mauve

Diana led her team through several corridors as she looked for the security.

"Our first step will be to find the security" she planned.

"Wouldn't it be more productive if we just tried to sneak past security and make it to the vault." Mushashi countered.

"Two reasons: First, something tells me that they are not going to have some stupid drone security like they had last time, these people are well trained and well equipped, sneaking past them isn't going to be an option. I'd rather meet them on our own terms. Second, it's not the first one to the vault that wins, its the first one in the vault that wins, it'll be easier to let another team break open the vault and then take them out."

As they continued onward the eerie atmosphere of the empty bank was broken by the sound of a gunshot.

"Perfect" Diana said in triumph. "Any security in the area will move towards the gunshot while we lie in wait. If we're lucky we might even take out the security and the other team."

"Artemis and Gawain, move into the restrooms; me and Mushashi will stay here and hide behind the corner." Matilda and Henry went into the bathrooms, Diana closed her eyes and pulled her attention inward. She was really good at producing large branches of lightning, it was the small stuff that she had trouble with. Over the last couple weeks her teachers had been giving her tips that she had been using to make it easier to summon low levels of electricity. The sound of swift footsteps came to her ears as two security guards ran past them.

  She sent out two small vaults of lightning towards them, she hit one but the other one saw her and rolled as the lightning hit the spot were he once was. Almost inhumanly he was on his feet again with his weapon out as he fired two shots towards Diana. One missed the other struck her in the chest. It hurt like hell but the projectile didn't pass through the armor. No sooner than the security guard had fired his shots was he struck in the back by two tazor darts that came from Matilda's tazor. Suddenly in the distance there was a light flash.

  A ear splitting alarm went through the air.

Pov- lokie

There was a flash than suddenly he was bake in his old home.  Two loud bangs filled the air, He put down his action figures and went down stairs. He found them in the living room.

The heat melted at him from every side. At first he thought he was still re living his memories, than he heard his friends screaming.  Somebody grabbed his arm and began to pull him along. Black smoke abjured every thing from view.  Nicholas began coughing uncontrollably. The sprinkler system finally came on but the flames continued. Nicholas's guide stumbled, send them both to the flour. He yelped in pain as heat from the flames bit at his figures.  The hand of his unknown escort helped him t his feet.  A door opened ahead of them and they both plunged through.  The two of them sunk to the flour as their lungs gasped out for oxygen. To Nicholas surprise his savour was none other than Susanne.  As he slowly got to his feet rough hands grasp his shoulders. 

"What the Hell is wrong with you!" Alvin face was distorted by rage as he violently shook Nicholas. "You could of gotten us killed you psycho. Nicholas's stood there in a mix of shock and self loathing. He want desperately to say something in his defence but he felt he might cry if he opened his mouth. That would only lower Alvin's already low opinion of him.

amanda's arms pulled the two of them apart.  Everyone we heed to talk a moment to calm down. 

Alvin was about to say something when he was interrupted by the arrival of the carvery.
