[ The hostage situation at the bank was on the police scanners in a manner of minutes, and Rook was patrolling near enough to risk an appearance on an active crime scene. You never know what other heroes and vigilantes may attend, so he’s on high alert when he arrives.

There’s only two metas that he can spot. The bank robber, who’s in crisis, and the unfamiliar hero (?) current ripping the window out.

Rook swings over on a grappling line, right through the window to avoid the ruined street.

(Terrakinesis? Telekinesis?)

(What are the odds of it being such a familiar color?)

The line thwips after him like a measuring tape. ]

Keep him busy. I’ll take them through another exit.

[ There has to be a fire exit in a building this size. Something that won’t take the hostages past the villain.

Tim starts hauling hostages up into crouching positions. Hostages first. Then… the concerning power set outside. ]

Any other robbers?

[ A woman gives him the tiniest shake of her head. ]

Who knows where the emergency exit is?

[ No one answers, but the nicest suit in the bank lobby looks at a light grey door behind the teller counter. ]

That way. Everyone ahead of me. Keep low and go.

[ It takes some gentle pushing, but they start to move one by one as he gets them on their feet. None of them seem willing to get out of range of him, though. ]
