Crisis

9: Trapped

*Knock Knock Knock*

Axel: You awake? It's time my friend, Leonard is expecting us in a few hours. Gather your things.
Noah: I'll be there in a minute.

Noah got up looking around, his bag full of clothes, his sword, A couple flash grenades. He wondered why he needed these. He had his powers back. They seemed pointless to him, he grabbed his sword and concealed it in a small bag, he put the bag on his back and walked downstairs saying goodbye to Ella, then walked out the door and into the car with Axel.

Noah: So, what's the story?
Axel: Lübeck, he's currently stationed at a motel planning his next heist. Looks like you came at a right time.
Noah: Does he still hate me?
Axel: Probably.. Most likely, you did break his wrist.
Noah: He punched a metal arm! that was not my fault.
Axel: You think that man is going to blame himself? Hah!
Noah: Fine by me, he can sook all he wants.

Noah laid his head on the side of the window closing his eyes for a little more rest. Every time he slept he was always brought back to Newlatten. Even though it was gone, he still called it home. He walked the quiet streets of Newlatten. This time felt different. He felt upset that he wasn't there to help. To prevent it from happening.
He heard a voice, a female voice, sounded like they were right next to him.

"Don't worry, I'm here"

Noah woke up looking around the car.

Noah: Did you say something just before?
Axel: Me? No? I've been silent this whole ride.
Noah: Nevermind.. must've just been in my head.
Axel: Now that you're awake, we are here.

Axel parked in a space outside of the motel, the place was packed with what looked like gangsters.
They hopped out of the car and proceeded to the room Leonard was located and walked inside.
There was 4 guards in each corner of the room, Leonard had reorganised the table in the room to be centred in the room as he sat behind it.

Leonard: Axel! Noah! My friends! It has been too long. How was your flight back into Germany?
Noah: Quiet to say the least, I'm glad to be back though.
Leonard: I must say, I did not expect you to come back looking so well. You upgraded your arm I see.
Noah: I guess you can say that..
Axel: Let us get to business, tell us your plan Leonard.

Leonard started to explain his plan, explaining about the bank of Lübeck runs on servers. Noah felt a sense of unease, he looked around to the security guards, one on their phone, the others holding rifles tightly towards them.
Suddenly Red chimes in his ear

Red: Your anxiety levels are rising. I must inform you that you have been set up. The person in the top right corner of the room has just informed someone of your arrival. You have approximately 5 minutes until you are surrounded. I suggest incapacitating the guards.

Noah made eye contact with Leonard.

Leonard: Are you feeling well? You seem uncomfortable.
Noah: Sorry bout this Axel.

Axel turned to Noah in confusion as his legs are suddenly swiped causing him to fall on the ground, the guards motion their rifles towards Noah but before they could fire he shot up extending his arms firing bolts of lightning at the guards instantly sending them to the ground.
Leonard stands up and whips out a pistol, Noah rushes him kicking the table into his gut and slamming his head on the table, he electrified his right hand and held it to Leonard's face.
