getting the money

It was a late afternoon and Nolen needed money to help Shepard look for the people who killed his parents. He knew only two ways to get money; get hired for a job or rob a bank, but how big a bank.

He arrived off an airplane in New York; he decided to rob a bank getting alot of money to cover wat ever exspense he had. It was a custody bank that was all over the New York Times roleing in $625 million. He decided on a really big bank the biggest bank in New York. He arrived right in front of the bank getting out and walking right threw the front door destroying the front cameras with water and continued to walk in.

Whistling happily, Brightside strolled down the street, hands in the pockets of his black jeans. He looked around at some of the stores nearby: A Barnes and Nobles, Mcdonalds (yuck), a Dunkin' Donuts...He was glad he could do more than just look if he wanted. After all, it sucked not having money, and after a recent (and very generous) donation from a citizen he had saved, he almost had more than he could handle. Thankfully, he wasn't big into blowing money on the first few days he got it; It wasn't like he needed to plan very far ahead, but, he was trying to reign himself in a little. He didn't want to look like a spoiled brat when he was anything but.

A random man destroying security cameras (With water? What the fuck? That couldn't be Sean, could it?), however, ruined his good mood. Brightside scowled and sighed angrily, knowing that he'd look like a prick if he walked on by and later found out the bank was robbed. Cautiously walking to the front of the bank, he peeked inside and gave a controlled shout. "Hey, buddy? Uh...what do you think yer doin'?" Wow, so witty. You need some better lines.

Seeing the man while holding down the people with them frozen to the floor " You dont mind leaving other wise you will be in the same position." He shot water at the entrance and froze the door and ran to the back to get as much money as he could.

Using the water from several fountains he started cutting a hole in the back of the bank with the bags in hand for an escape. While watching the entrance making sure no one broke the ice to get him.

Well, at least it's not Sean, Brightside thought, creating a hammer in preparation for the battle. His hand turned slightly translucent, glowing softly with a riot of colors, and a film of the material flowed out, creating his weapon. Moving his hand, he slammed the hammer into the frozen door way, cracking it up but not quite breaking it. A second swing shattered the ice, letting Brightside jump into the building. "Yeah, about that. I'm not really afraid of water. Sorry." He shrugged, a smirk of confidence appearing on his face, before he noticed that the bank vault had been cut open. Shit, if he doesn't have an awesome arc welder....he did that with water! he thought, a flicker of worry crossing his face. That kind of pressure could be potentially lethal for him- and he thought this would be easy.

Stopping right when he broke threw the ice wall and seeing no huge exsplosion he knew the guy was a person just like him but he could think of how to get out and who was this guy. Busting the pipes from the wall and the ceiling holding the water around him he look at the guy "Hey... By the way who are you and what are you doing here, kind of random for you to be here" staring at the guy ready to fight.

Holding about a thousand gallons now he waited for his answer he wanted.

"Well gosh, it is a bank you know. I was hoping to make a deposit, but, uh," Brightside pointed to the destroyed vault, "something tells me I won't have a secure place to put it anymore. I was thinkin' I should fix that." He winked at the villain, hoping to either creep him out and distract him, or at least get a chuckle. Even bad guys could appreciate a few good jokes, right?

Regardless, Brightside dissipated his hammer, hoping that the villain would get rid of the water in return. Somehow, he doubted it would work, but then again, he didn't have the reflexes to hit him with the weapon before he was flooded anyways.

Seeing what he said he did not care what so ever. He seen put away the hammer then he knew it was his chance. He threw 2/3 of the water at him so it would hopefully hold him aginst the wall. He used the other 1/3 of the water to finsh getting threw the wall. Instead of cuting he threw it all at the wall and broke it down.

Running threw the hole he found a man hole and threw open the round cap over it leaving it wide open. Unshure of the other guy he jumped into the manhole to escape. It would give him the advantage because of all the water.

"Oh shiz-" Brightside nearly said, before the wave of water crashed at him. Finding that his witty attempt to solve the issue clearly wasn't going to work, he decided to go with plan B: beat the shit out of some villains.

But first, of course, he had to deal with the water trying to fill his lungs and turn him into a pancake. Letting his essence flow out of him, the plasma started to make a sort of barrier, preventing any more water from rushing at him, though it strained a little from the pressure. Coughing up some of the leftover water in his lungs, Brightside took a few heaving gasps and looked around, noticing the torn down wall. "Well shit, at least he isn't subtle. Maybe I can...follow him."

((OOC:well im jumping in))

It was a beautiful day in New York. Sean was taking himself a little walk. Since Brightside was goin out for a bit why couldn't he? Then his attention was diverted to an explosion at a bank. Seeing what looked like Brightside bein thrown through a wall. Sean ran to him concerened. "Damn. Hey you okay?" He called scared a little. Seeing he was hit by water, yet unharmed. So Sean was happy about that. Faintly seeing a guy going down into the sewers. He was responsible for this shit. "Hey you get the hell back here." Sean barked as water condensed from the air. Nooone hurt his boyfriend. Not unless they wanted to face the wrath of a Tough Guy.
((sorry it was so short ))

Running threw the sewers as he could every chance he got he would pick up the water and make a thick ice wall that would take people from avalach rescuers days to break through. Just a few miles up was the ocean his escape; he was going to use it to put an enormous wave between him and his prosuwers. The only thing that went through his mind he basiclly knew he was going to get away.

"Oh, hey-" an involuntary cough interrupted Brightside, much to his annoyance, "-hey, babe. Yeah, I was just, uh...taking a little swim. In the middle of a bank. No biggy." He scratched the back of his now wet head, taking a few steps towards the demolished wall. "Well shit, where'd he..." A pattern of frost appeared on top of the street, with no apparent cause. "Uh, wow. The sewers? Seriously?" Brightside nearly groaned; he really, really loved his jacket, and the last place he'd want is in a tunnel full of waste. "Any chance you brought another set of clothes or something? Otherwise, I seriously don't want to follow this guy."

Sean smiled pointing at a bag draped on his arm. It had some clothes he just bought for Brightside since his clothes were a bit too small. "I bought these. I was on my way to buy, umm some things when i came up on this." Sean explained motioning at the scene he was in. With a thoguht all the water that soaked his boyfriend left his clothes. Seeming to evaporate as it came in contact with tha air. Making him dry once again. "Anyway i'm not letting him get away. He hurt you and thats good enough reason to kick his ass." Witht hat Sean jumped down intot he sewers. Hoping Brightside would follow him. Afterall he would be alone if eh didn't. As a large wave of water came rushing throught he sewer. "Hmph that all?" Sean snicked as he put some thought into the water ahead of hia. As it stopped completely. Then he commanded it to rush back at whoever sent it. At a pressure that could tear through steel like wet paper. Not his full power but enough to deal with a little water manipulator. Some times the gods chose such poor vessels for their gifts.

Now about 3 miles from the entrance he wondered if they were coming and if he needed the emenslly thick walls of ice. He only had one 1 mile to go until he reached the ocean he thought the guy better do something fast or this will be too easy. Him nearing the total get away point he could only think of one more thing.(how he would catch and get revenge on the people who killed his parents.)

"Heh, thanks cutie." Brightside winked at Sean, before he realized he was going down...there. "Ugh, fine. If I absolutely have to, I'll go. But this son of a bitch has to pick up my dry cleaning tab." Scowling, he dropped down the manhole just as Sean had finished getting rid of the ice wall. "Well damn. That would have taken me forever. Glad I have you around." He smiled at him, then took off at a sprint down the sewer tunnel, hoping he'd be able to catch up with the weird water villain in time.

It stunk but Sean didn't mind. After all he was a hero so bad smells didn't matter. He ran with Brightside down the tunnel. Following the guy down the sewers. For about three minutes. Seeing the guy about to leave the sewer. "Hey i didn't say you could leave." Sean yelled pissed off. As water condensed out of the air. Forming many ice spears dense enough to punch through steel. Launching about ten of them at Shepard. Hoping to skewer him, for hurting his boyfriend. That pissed him off. So he wanted payback .Major payback.
