"I can beat you before you press that switch." Iron knight said, she took a step and just nudge the wire, causing the guns to aim at her direction.

"Tsk, tsk. If both of us move, we will be shot by these traps. Sure, you can try your pulsar beam from those claws of yours, but I'll press the switch before I'm hit. See I don't make the same mistake twice." I started. "I can find away to leave alive, but your shield won't deflect all the bullets from all directions." We heard sirens and saw red and blue lights coming from outside.

"This is the NYPD, come out with your hands up, both of you. We know you are in there and have bounties on your head, give up now and we'll think about keeping you alive." Some police officer said.

"Crooked cops are everywhere now and since when did I have a bounty on me?" I used the dissolve can and sprayed a circle around me, making me fall down as the gun fired. I took cover until I heard the guns stop firing and a hand grabbed my jacket and pulled me up, the Iron Knight was unscathed. "What the hell that was full proof plan!"

"How did you get that spray can?" She asked aggressively, I kicked her back to break free.

"This? Oh a stupid rich boy named Michael Gates gave it to me after saving him from kidnappers, even though I was planning to kidnap him myself, lucky him." I ran for cover as Iron Knight tried to hit me with the pulsar beam. "Nice try stormtrooper!" I pulled out my pistols and fired back, she used her shield and deflected all my shots. I was able to charge at her and manage to put her on the ground by sweeping her legs, but I seriously hurt my leg doing that. Iron Knight grabbed my legs and slammed me down, I got up and attempted a roundhouse kick, she was able to dodge it and punched me backwards. She is fast for being in a suit I will give her that. Iron Knight kneed me in my stomach and punched me in the face, good thing my helmet took most of the damage, but I still staggered near the door. Iron Knight charged towards me, but I was able to move out the way in time, but fell down the stairs...on purpose of course. What wasn't on purpose was me opening the front door and facing a crap ton of NYPD officers all aiming their guns at me.

"Fire at will! Take his helmet!" One of them said, I grabbed a flashbang and was about to use it when I was picked up and was flying away from the NYPD, who was shooting at me in the air. I looked up and saw Iron Knight was the one who saved me, the first thing I wanted to do was shoot her right there, but dying wasn't on my to do list yet. She did dropped me on the roof of a 23 story high building, on my back.

"I didn't need your help back there." I said getting up.

"Although I'd love you dead, I can't allow you to die, not by me or other people."

"Don't tell me you have a moral code, 'I don't kill' That's a load of crap!" She began to fly away...the hell is with person. "So you won't kill anybody, but leaving them on a high building with no way down is cool!?" I stepped back and went to a running position, I hope flying and/or gliding runs in the family. I ran across the roof and jumped off, free falling next to the building, I saw all of New York, well what's left of it that is, the city was in flames and anarchy all caused by me, I can't help but smile a little. Speaking of me, I landed on something in midair and was still moving, I realized who it was and laughed as I stranded up on it. "Look at me, I'm 'Knight surfing.'" I said, if it was obvious to I'm on Iron Knight.

"Get off of me." She said, beginning to spin around to get me off, I was able to hang on and pulled out the dissolve can.

"I think your suit needs a new color." I sprayed her boots to my surprise, nothing happened. "The hell?"

"My armor is made out of organic metal, that means the substance in that can treats my suit as a living organism."

"Well every living thing has to die then, I wonder if that mean suit isn't bullet proof since most living things aren't." I shot the boots causing the jets from the boots to go out of control and shut down soon, we started to fall again. We fought while falling down, I manage to vertical place myself the building was behind me. I reached into my jacket and pulled out an explosive and stuck it on Iron Knight and pushed myself away from her so I smashed through the window of the building. I hit cubicles and glass until I stop near a bunch of civilians, I got up as the building shook meaning the explosive on Iron Knight went off.
