*Fast forward to the scene of crime* (this is a fighting scene with some blood, so skip this if you need to)

A huge marble bank towered over the teenagers as Five teleported them there. They sprinted into the bank as they heard screams inside. They found at least six robbers (This won't be exactly like the actual crime scene (; ) pointing guns at the scared bankers and customers. Two others were stuffing their sacks full of money. 

"SHUT UP!" one robber exclaimed to the whimpering victims. The robbers quickly went through each vault and safe, getting their hands on every single bill. 

"Hey!" called Five, "A bit rude to be hurting innocent people, isn't it?" A smirk grew across his face. 

"Who the hell are you?" a robber laughed at the scrawny teens. "You ain't even old enough to take a good old drink!"

"Oh yeah? Watch this!" Five teleported right in front of the man. It was a signal for the others to get to work. Luther lifted one robber like a feather and threw him across the bank, sending him sliding across the marble. He lost consciousness after hitting his head with a thud in the wall. 

Allison silently slipped behind one robber and said, "I heard a rumor... that you shot your friend in the foot." The man stood confused for just a moment, till his eyes turned white. He instantly turned around and shot his accomplice on the top of his foot. The accomplice screamed in pain and fell to the floor, blood gushing out of his foot. The shooter woke up from his trance and realized what he had done. He turned around to kill Allison for vengeance, but she was gone.

Another robber was desperately fighting with Diego. His tall stature and the strong body were easily able to beat a small thirteen-year-old. But Diego knew techniques. He dodged every blow the robber tried to make, even putting in some jabs here and there. The robber started to grow tired. He was slowly going more and more against the wall until he couldn't go further. It was Diego's chance. He grabbed a knife threw it toward the wall. The robber put on a sneer and proceeded to step forward. Then, the knife Diego threw sliced through the air in a sharp turn. It sliced the robber in the shoulder and pinned him to the wall. 

Five was fighting with another. Not really fighting, per se, but more like teasing the robber by teleporting around him and dodging his bullets. 

"Hey! Over here!" Five called out. The robber whipped around, frustrated. He shot the area six times before realizing Five had teleported away after a single scratch on his arm. The robber turned back around and pulled the trigger on his gun. The gun clicked without a sound. He had run out of bullets. The robber looked up in a panic. "That's one badass stapler you got there!" Five smiled. He hit the robber on the head, knocking him out. 

"Watch out!" Diego yelled to Five. Five was a moment too late. One of his knives sliced his hand. 

"Diego! What the hell?!" Five yelled. Five winced, but it wasn't time to tend to wounds yet. There were two more robbers taking money from the vault. He walked towards the vault, blood dripping from his hand. The other five siblings walked over to the vault as well. They could see the moving shadows of the excited robbers, not knowing what was going on outside.

"Ben, you should do it," Allison said, "Only you can fight all of them at one time." Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Do I have to?" Ben sighed. He hated using his powers. It made him feel like a monster. (haha what a surprise) 

"YES," everyone replied demandingly. Ben sighed one more time and slipped into the vault. Behind the closed doors, they could hear the growls of the mysterious realm of monsters. Suddenly, shadows of ten flailing tentacles emerged, each the size of a colossal squid's. The men screamed in terror. Two of the tentacles smashed the men against the wall in a splatter of blood. The tentacles silently retracted. Seconds later, Ben emerged, drenched head to toe in blood.

"Can we go home now?" Ben said in a whimper.

Meanwhile, Reginald was watching the action from a far rooftop. Vanya was at his side. 

"Father, why can't I play with the other kids?" Vanya asked.

"We've been through this Number 7!" Reginald snapped, "There just doesn't seem to be anything... special about you."

"Oh, ok" Vanya replied in a disappointed sigh.

The scared victims rushed out of the bank, screaming in relief. The six, super-powered siblings valiantly walked out of the building, except Ben who was still covered in blood. Reginald also walked down to the crime and faced all the reporters. 

"I am so glad to have adopted these six children under our care! They have been a service to our city and will continue to help our well-being," Reginald proudly exclaimed.

"Liar," Five muttered under his breath. Diego nodded. They maintained their forced smiles into the cameras. Afterward, they trudged back to their home, where Vanya was already waiting to tend their wounds.
