Your POV

Your heavy footsteps stampeded through the dark, narrow alleyways along with the company of occasional dark laughter. "... If I keep taking shortcuts, I'll avoid the crowds and make it there twice as fast.

"Kacchan!" A woman spoke from the other side of the communication Bluetooth. Her name is Natalie Ashton who's been working for you for quite a while.  "We have Intel that Talon Agents have planted a bomb at the Empire State Building where the mayor is going to make his speech!" You bare your teeth, clenching you jaw. "Don't cha think I know that already!?" You peaked around the corner to make sure the coast was clear before running down the street, pushing past a few pedestrians now and again. Pressing the small button on the Bluetooth, you speak, "How much time do I have before the damn thing blows?"

"The bomb explodes at... Midnight," she says. "You don't have a lot of time!"

You roll your eyes, "yeah, no shit!" you halted your running once you've realized that you here at the back of the crowd where the mayor was giving his speech to the citizens of New York. Bodyguards, Paparazzi and A camera crew had all eyes on him. Maybe that was a good thing, the last thing you needed was everyone freaking out and someone ending up getting hurt. You need to handle this as quickly and quietly as you possibly could. "Kacchan, the drone's picked up on the location of the bomb; its located at the top of the Empire State Building," she told you. "Be careful!"

You growl as you look up to the top of the structure, "Yeesh... All the way up there.. hmph," you scoffed and distanced yourself from the crowd so no one would notice you. Using "Blast Rush Turbo" you shot up fast from the ground, sending yourself soaring through the cool, crisp air that made your hairy rustle as you cut through it. "When I see the bomb I'll just grab it and throw it sky high, no one'll get hurt that way--"

"Kacchan! I'm sensing movement on--"

Irritated, you say, "Y'know it'd be easier for me if you'd shut up for five minutes!"

"But--" You pressed the button on your Bluetooth, cutting off communications with her temporarily. "You can speak when I'm finished with this damn bomb!"
You boosted up into the air until you've finally reached the top, landing smoothly onto the rooftop. It looked like no one was here but you still held up your guard, expecting anything to happen. After awhile of searching, you eventually found the bomb strapped to an AC vent box. "Found you, ya ticking bastard!" It had five minutes before it would explode, you made it in perfect timing. But before you could grab it, you heard the sound of someone cocking their gun, making you stand still.

"Last time I checked," a gruff voice spoke. "You were dead."

You turn your head slowly to see who had the audacity to raise a gun to your head. Narrowing your eyes at the man, you couldn't help but sneer. ".... I should be saying that to you, Gabe." Gabriel Reyes, aka Reaper, gave you a cold stare through his death mask. "...."
