The Boy and The Psycho

We Only See Each Other at Weddings and Funerals

"Hey, get them behind the counter!" one of the robbers yells at another.

The group of hostages get relocated behind the counter while the alarm blares throughout the entire building making the situation even more intense.

"Now you put me in a position where I gotta do something I don't want to do. Hmm?" the robber says to the other one behind the counter. "Shit!"

Young Teenage Number Three, Allison Hargreeves, calmly walks over to the angry man and stands next to him, observing the scene playing out in front of her.

"Hey, get back with the others." he orders.

"I heard a rumor."

"What? What did you say?"

Allison leans in, cupping her hand around her mouth. "I heard a rumor that you shot your friend in the foot."

The robber's eyes turn a light glowing gray color as he leans up and stands a stiff as a board. He raises and cocks his pistol and points it at the closest robber.

"Hey, dude. What the hell?" his partner says before the man shoots him straight into his foot. He groans in pain and lets out a shot from his gun as he falls and hits the ground. The man shoots another shot at his downed partner, killing him before breaking out of his trance and realizing what he had done.

All of a sudden, someone comes falling in from the ceiling, causing the hostages to scream.

The young Number One, Luther, pops up off the ground, grabbing a robber and slamming him into the counter. A younger number eight, Fiona, comes floating gracefully down from the boys hole in the ceiling and jumps onto the counter, smashing her foot into his head before her brother picks him up and flings him through the glass window.

Another boy, Number Two, Diego, in the same cheesy school outfit, comes running in through the front of the building.

"Guns are for sissies, real men throw knives." He throws two knives and they fly through the air pinning a robber up to a wall.

"Get back you freaks." the first man says while climbing up the counter, pointing his gun at the group of us.

We are all standing there, staring up at the man, none of us at all afraid.

"Hey, be careful up there, buddy."  Diego teases.

"Get back now!" the robber says.

Fiona giggles to herself as she leans up against her lover boy Number Five.

"Yeah, wouldn't want you to get hurt." Allison says playing around with her siblings.

"Or what?" Number Five asks teleporting behind the robber on the counter.

The robber jumps and quickly turns around towards the boy shooting at the counter where he once sat. The young boy teleports in front of him making me laugh at the man's slowness. He turns around looking for the boy and he quickly brings up his hand that once held a gun and began shooting staples at the boy.

"Ooh! That's one badass stapler!" Number Five says staring at the stapler in front of his chest.

He grabs the robbers wrist with the stapler in it and bashes him in the face with it. The robber falls backwards off of the counter and Five nods to himself pleased with his work.

We all gather at the entrance to the vault, a young Number Six, Ben, looking worriedly at his siblings.

"Do we really have to do this?" He asks staring at us.
