It was the weekend and Taylor's mother had asked him to do some chores. One of them was to go to the bank so he could get the money to buy the things his Mother wanted, she had been sick the last few days do Taylor was all to happy to help. So the young boy made his way to the bank with a smile on his face. Lately he has enjoyed life a bit more, he has made new friends and together with them have been trying to keep their beloved city safe. So far though the biggest threat are the dragon slayers who wanted to kill all none humans. Be it magic beings or mutants like himself. For many years humans and none humans lived in this city with no real problems. Besides some minor things here and there. No place was perfect but to want to kill someone because they had powers was just wrong.. So Taylor was willing to try and chase them out.. Soon Taylor came to the bank and got inline. It looked like it was going to be a little while though the lines where a bit long. No worries though he was in no hurry. But to pass the time he put in ear buds and turned on his walkman MP3 Player and listened to music as he waited for his turn.

BANG! A single gunshot pierced the air inside the bank as a group of around ten people entered. "On the ground, everyone! This is a robbery!" the man at the head of the group said, his shotgun still smoking. It was odd. None of these people seemed dressed for a bank heist. They weren't taking any pains to hide their identity. There was a mix of emotions on their faces, ranging from excited, to proud, to just plain happy. No anger could be seen, or even the slightest hint of aggression, if one didn't see their guns.
As could be expected, the bank customers dropped to the ground near instantly, taking only a few split seconds to overcome their shock, as soon as they hit the ground, a woman started restraining their arms with cable ties. "Alright! Here we are! Nice and easy! This is fun, isn't it sir?" she chirped. She seemed to be acting as if this wasn't even a crime. More like a bonding experience for the customers. An odd way to act, but nobody was planning on talking back to the lady carrying not only a pistol, but also several grenades on her belt.

Talor stood in the line and even started to hum softly to the music he was listening to. The Line had moved a little but it was not enough to get him to the front of the line. Then it seemed liuke fate had other plans, a gun shot suddenly rang out. Even though he had been wearing ear buds The young boy froze for sec before taking out his ear buds. Everyone went down like they where told and for now so did Taylor. He got a good count of how many people had entered. About ten of them and they had guns and..... Grenades.... Taylor's mind raced on how he could stop these guys without anyone getting hurt. Ugh if only Sarah where here, then he could just wind gust them to a wall and she would freeze them in place.. No this time he was alone so he had to try his best... For now he would do nothing. But if they tried to hurt someone he would step in. "this is not good at all.." Taylor muttered to himself as his heart raced so fast he thought it would explode out of his chest.

"Okay, that's every-whoops! Almost forgot you, little guy! I'm so sorry! I should have been a better host. Here you go! Just hold out your arms!" Julia said, noticing Taylor after she had already gone down the entire line. That was sloppy work. Johnathan wasn't going to be very pleased about that. Oh well, she could make it up by performing the rest of this heist super well.
Meanwhile, the man who initiated the heist was taking bag after bag of money, and transferring it to the criminal behind him "Alright, we're almost there," he said, "You got everything handles over there, Jules?" he asked, though Julia seemed more intent on Taylor than her comrade, as she gave no answer[/font]

Taylor sat there and hoped they would not notice him, a idea had come to him and he reached to his belt that had his communicator. If he could just alert anyone that there was trouble he slowly reached for it and hit the silent alert button, now if anyone was listening they would be able to hear everything.. He just hoped to god someone had their communicator on. And as luck would have it someone did, Amara was in the The Guardians base and heard the alarm. She gasped as she then got right to work, she used the tracker to locate where Taylor was. " A bank? Aww crap is it a bank robbery? " Amara muttered as she then hacked the banks camera's and gasped when she saw she was right and poor Taylor was in the middle of it. It was a good thing she could hear what was going on through the communicator because banks never put speakers on their security! Amara then picked up a phone and called the police, now what happened next was in Taylor's hands..
Taylor's hopes of not being noticed where soon dashed when the woman who the leader of the group called Jules noticed she had missed him and asked that he hold out his hands to she could tie him up. Taylor stared at the woman but did not offer his hands, then from the corner of his eye he saw one of the bank camera's move in the way Amara said would be her signal. Good Amara was listening as for the others he had no clue. So he may have had back ground help but he was still alone here. And if he guesses right Amara should have called the police. He just had to keep the thieves talking. "Why are you doing this? Are you going to hurt us?" Taylor asked still refusing to offer his hands to be tied up. If he could just keep them talking long enough for the police to show up... But things went from bad to worse he would have to use his powers to try and stop them.. It was risk but one he was willing to take if he had to.

"Hurt you? Why would I do that? The doctor said nothing about hurting anyone. You're a weird kid." Julia said, seeming legitimately confused at Taylor's question. "Now, be a good boy and put your arms out, or Sergei will have to, and he isn't all that good at gentle stuff. Unlike me! I'm great at it! The doctor said so himself, that's why he wanted me to do this part!" she pointed over at one of her comrades, a man that had been at the back of the group. He was hunched over, and didn't seem like he would hurt a fly, but he was a massive man, with arms easily twice the size of the robbers near him.
Meanwhile, the robbery was going along well. The last bag had been taken from the vault, and all that was left was the transfer to the van. The crew seemed to move with a certain fluidity. A cooperation that could only come through years of teamwork. "Not long now, Jules! Just keep 'em from doing anything for a bit longer!" the leader called over as he threw a bag from the counter to the lobby, where a pile of them were waiting.

Doctor? Is that what they called their leader? Once again Taylor did not offer his hands he was going to avoid being tied up if he could, not that he needed his hands to use his powers but still he did not want them bound. But at least she said they where not here to hurt anyone.. That is he guessed if everyone behaved. Mean while Amara watched this as she nibbled her finger nails nervously. She had to help some how! Though she would not get there in time! Ah wait Yuki's team mates! Sunny, Luckly and Silver! They often roamed around the city right? Perhaps one of them where close enough to help! She then started to make her call, " Calling, Sunny, Silver and Lucky if anyone of you is near the bank get over there and fast Taylor is in trouble he got caught up in a bank robbery!" She said. "" Ooh sounds like fun~ I;m close so on my way~" Said Sunny the robot cat. It did not take long for her to get there she saw the can parked out side. Sunny then gave a mischievous smile. One great thing being a robot that looked like a real cat was no one would think twice about her.
So she then walked up to the van and stopped at its front tire. She then lifted her paw and with a strong swipe she slashed at the tire and the air started to come out of it. She then did the same thing to the last three tires and found a place to hide. Ready to pounce any of the bad guys when she had the chance. Though soon the sound of police cars could be heard as they started to surround the building. For Taylor that was his cue, " Sorry but I wont let you get away with this.." Taylor more or less hissed. Soon the wind in the building started to pick up, "Amara! Open the doors!" Taylor called out and Amara did just that she had already hacked the building so all she had to do was put in a simple command and the doors to the bank opened. Taylor then summoned a powerful gust of wind trying to knock the robbers back, The cops where all outside waiting If anything at least the sudden strong wind would hopefully confuse the robbers.

Most of the robbers were forced to brace themselves under the wind, but were otherwise unaffected. Most, however, was not all. Julia, caught off guard and off balance, was flung backwards by the sudden gust, getting flung across the room, and hitting the wall near the entrance. It would appear that she was lighter than she seemed. "Wow that was fun! We...need...to..try it agai-oh hey...cat." she managed before passing out. She pointed towards Sunny, though the animal robot shouldn't have stood out, Julia did have little attention span for humans, and a lot for cute animals.
As soon as Julia passed out, cops busted in, swarming around her in their attempt to circle the criminals. "Julia!" The large man, Sergei, shouted as he began rushing towards her, only to be stopped by the leader of their crew. "Sergei, he whispered into the big man's ear, "Remember the plan. Jules will be fine." Sergei, through obvious force of will, seemed to relax. Then, he, and his companions, laid down their arms. No fight, no attempt to flee. Only surrender. The police were taken a bit off guard, but before long, they began making arrests.
"No hesitation to rob, nor to surrender, not phased by supernatural events, no violence at all. It would appear that this experiment was a success." The man that was speaking appeared to be some sort of news reporter. Nice, but not too nice, suit, fine shoes, and no hat, but well combed hair. He held a pen and and notepad, which he used to write down everything he said. If one didn't hear what he was saying, chances were that they would expect him to be writing a story for what was happening at the bank. However, he was in earshot of Sunny, for while he was cautious of people eavesdropping, he cared little as to what even lesser animals thought.

It took Taylor a minute to realize his idea worked. the cops had come inside and the robbers oddly enough gave up without a fight. That... That was unexpectedly easy... Though none the less Taylor's knees gave out from under him and he collapsed to the floor. He started to breath heavily as his nerves got the better of him. His body was now trembling, this was by far not as bad as the dragon slayers that had taken over his school at one point.. But he had friends to help him then. Here he had been alone besides Amara helping in the background. One of the police noticed Taylor and went over to him. " Son its ok, its over now." The man said trying to calm the young teen. This made Taylor jumped a bit and then looked at the man, he gave a weak smile. "Y-yeah.." Taylor said as he then got up and headed for the door. Sunny had blinked when the woman Taylor had knocked back noticed her. "Hmm good eye for a human." Sunny noted. Though soon something else caught her ear, a older human spoke as if he had planned everything. Sunny looked at him and tilted her head but said nothing. But did keep it as a recording and saved it just in case that would come in handy later.
Soon Taylor left the bank though he still looked really troubled. Sunny then walked up to Taylor with a smile. "You did pretty good there Taylor! Shame all I got to do was slice up van tires." Sunny said shaking her head a bit. "I'm just glad its over.. Though it was a bit to easy.. Something is not right but I don't know what.. ugh I just want to go home..." Taylor said walking away from the bank not in the mood for questions right now. Sunny at the moment did not say anything about the old man she had over heard. Besides it was not proof he did anything. If she where to show it to anyone it would be Yuki anyway. "Yeah well if you are gonna be alright Imma gonna go see ya~" Sunny said and took off. Taylor nodded and just kept walking.

The strange man, one Johnathan O'Connor, paid close attention to all the people, citizens and police, that exited the bank. Nothing too interesting, and then he saw Taylor. Most of the civilians looked scared, and a little in awe, at the scene they were leaving, but this kid seemed more concerned than anything else. That didn't mean anything in and of itself, but when he saw the boy...talking to a cat, and what's more, the cat responding, or seeming to, as John was just out of earshot of the two, he became convinced that either this child was unstable, or that he knew something about what had transpired in the bank.
With that in mind, he got into the van, and started it up, not paying attention to the tires until he tried to move. "How did something such as that happen, I wonder. I checked these personally." he thought. Well, it would appear that John would have to follow this boy on foot. It wouldn't be the first time he had to do such a thing. With that in mind, he got out of the car, and walked off towards where Taylor left, but not before seeing the slash marks on his tires. "Sabotage. A group stopped this crime. The boy and the cat? Perhaps. Perhaps I should send someone after the animal. Best not to leave one that threatens you in such a way go unpunished." he thought as he walked

Taylor quickly walked away from the bank before any of the officers or news reporters could try and question him. Besides if they look him up they wound find out he was indeed a member of The Guardians. Its not like he ever tried to hide his identity. Unlike the rest of his team. Amara did most of her stuff in the back ground, Sarah liked to wear a costume and called herself Ice Queen, Fane well was like him never really tried to hide herself ether. And Taji yeah she had some sort of gadget that changed the way she looked to others. Kinda needed it seeing as she is a half dragon and the Dragon Slayers are after her. "Hey Taylor you ok!?" Came Amara's voice suddenly from his communicator. This snapped Taylor from his thoughts and he jumped a bit. He then grabbed his communicator and spoke into it, "Yeah Amara I'm fine... But something is bugging me.. Not that I'm complaining but that was way to easy.. and the one the robbers called Julia said something.. I asked if they where going to hurt us and she said the Doctor said nothing about hurting us.." Taylor said.
"Doctor? Oooh like Doctor Who?? Hahahaha kidding! I just guess their leader prefers to be called that.. Well I will look into it but I can't promise I will find anything, Oh was Sunny able to help you? " Amara asked. Taylor gave a weak smile. "Yeah not as much as she would have hoped though, she grumbled a bit when all she got to do was slash the tires on the van.." Taylor replied. Amara laughed again, " Well you stay safe Taylor and I will call if I find out anything, bye~" Amara said and the line went dead. With a sigh Taylor hooked his communicator in his belt and kept on walking, Unaware that he was being followed.

Johnathan watched intently as the boy pulled out some form of radio. This child was proving to be more and more interesting by the minute, as it was becoming more and more certain that he knew something more than the others about what happened in the bank. After taking a moment to pull out a radio of his own, and send orders to his 'patients' to be on the lookout for a cat that seemed to behave too much like a human, he made his move.
"Son! Son! Can I have a moment of your time?" he called out, jogging slightly to catch up to the boy. "I'm a journalist for the local paper, and I wanted to ask you a few questions about what happened back there at the bank. Would that be alright with you?" he asked. His personality seemed to have changed drastically from the cold, calculating man, to a someone nervous, but good natured journalist.

Taylor now hoped to be alone with his thoughts but once again fate had other plans. A voice he did not know suddenly called out to him, the young teen turned to see a older man. Nothing really stood out about him he looked like he could be someone's grandpa. Though Taylor did stiffen a bit when he said he was a journalist. Ugh it would seem he had not gotten out of there fast enough if a journalist had tracked him down. Taylor rubbed the back of his head when the journalist asked if he would mind telling him what happened in the bank, " Sorry.. But I rather not. I'm sure if you ask any of the others they could tell you though." Taylor said with a weak smile.
-----
Mean while around the same block as the bank still, Sunny was wondering around looking for something to do. "Hmm what a let down.. Glad everything turned out alright but a little more action would have been nice." Sunny said with a sigh. Though soon something caught her eye, a pickpocket in the crowed. She then gave a mischievous smile and started to dash right for the human. Sunny then jumped up aiming for the mans chest knocking him over landing on top of him. "Now now mister pickpocket you have 5 seconds to empty your pockets full of stolen goodies or I give you a nice new scar on your face." Sunny purred as she held up a paw letting her claws out. The poor man really had no idea what just happened till he was on his back and being threatened by a talking cat. His face went 50 shades of white and did as he was asked. Sunny smiled, "" That's a good boy~ Ok humans thus guy was picking your pockets may wanna check to see what is missing and claim what is yours and call the cops. Have a good day~" Sunny said as she then jumped off the pickpocket and started to walk away with a more satisfied look on her face.

"I would, my boy. Trust me, it does me no joy to annoy you like this, but you see, the other people in there, well, they are all a bit too shaken up to comment, you understand. So, when I saw you walking out without that look on your face, you know the one, when you have experienced something so horrifying that you can't fathom it? Well, when you didn't have that look, I figured that you might tell me what happened in there." Johnathan told the boy. If Taylor was the suspicious sort, he might have thought about how, in order to spot the one person without a shell shocked expression, he would have had to been watching rather intently as the people left the bank. It was not impossible that a news reporter would do such a thing in order to find a witness to talk to, but it was certainly a bit strange. "Ah! But I haven't even introduced myself yet! Terribly sorry about that, son. I'm Mike. Mike Sumner at your service. Might I ask who you are?" he asked with a charming, toothy smile.
Meanwhile, a few of Johnathan's crew were on the lookout for this strange cat. They weren't really sure what they were supposed to be looking for until they saw Sunny take down the pickpocket. Well, they found the creature, but what were they supposed to do about it? Just follow? Attack? Talk to? It was a mystery, seeing as how the doctor didn't specify directly. In the end, they took the safe route, and merely followed the cat, remaining far enough behind to avoid suspicion unless the cat was the paranoid sort.

As Taylor stood there it was very clear that the reporter was not going to take no for a answer. Ugh Sarah was way better at dealing with the media people then he was.. But she was not here so Taylpor was going to have to deal with this man all by himself. The older man then gave his name, Taylor then sighed as he caved. What was the harm in telling him what happened? "Ok, ok.. Here is what happened. I came to the bank to get some money to run a errand for my Mom. Next thing I knew those thieves came in and demanded we all get on the ground and started to tie people up." Taylor said as he then paused as he tried to remember how things went. Memory was a funny thing.. Sometimes it was clear as day and at times foggy. " The one called Juila somehow skipped over me at first but then saw she had missed me and asked that I willingly put my arms out to be tied up.. But instead I asked questions and oddly enough when I asked if they where going to hurt us Juila looked confused and said that This Doctor who I think may be the leader of them said nothing about hurting us.. Taylor said as he rubbed the back of his head.
" Soon I heard the police coming so I made a move blasting the thieves with wind and shockingly they gave up with out a fight." Taylor said as he looked at Mike Sumner. Yeah Taylor did not go into detail about everything not seeing the need to do so or even say he was part pf a team. He did not do this because he wanted to be famous he did it because it was the right thing to do. " Soo uh is that good enough?" Taylor asked really hoping the reporter did not have anymore questions.
