Anthem City: Fall of the Possum

[Harri-chan]

"Bank robbery?", she spoke aloud, her chest tightening slightly. She'd wanted a big event... but now it was happening, the tingle of nerves spread through her tummy. "Can't let this slip through my grasp.. ", she muttered, sliding down onto the balcony, before vaulting over the wall. She caught the one below, clinging for just a second before dropping another floor, again and again until she reached the ground, and set off in a run through the neighbourhood.

"This... is why... Batman... has the... Batmobile", she panted by the time she reached Bank. It had been quite a distance from Amanda's wealthy neighbourhood, and instead of climbing the rooftops, she'd simply run as fast as she could in order to get there before someone else had already cleaned up. Her heart was racing, and her knees felt a little weak as she hurried up the steps, kicking her way through the doors while pulling the tranquilizer gun from her belt.

The bank was surrounded by cops, and a couple of them tried to dissuade Georgia from entering, but obviously failed. This area of the bank was pretty much deserted except for a few late-working staff members, janitors and security guards, all of whom were lying on the floor. Thankfully, they all seemed to be breathing. The long desk with the bulletproof glass where the people who handled money worked had a large hole in it, like something had simply melted it with acid.

[Harri-chan]

Georgia ignored those cops that were trying to give her good advice, and turned off her radio. They were far out-weighed by the cops that mocked and looked down on her, so she was in no mood to let police advice prevent her from saving the day. Crouching beside the first few bank workers, she checked their breathing, before moving on, quietly but quickly, holding the gun ready to fire as she approached the damaged glass window at the counter. Inspecting the edges of the large hole, she then very carefully climbed up, and slipped through, dropping into a slight crouch on the other side to continue sneaking along.

[Blaze]

The edges of the hole are thankfully cool to the touch so Georgia doesn't get hurt examining it. As she heads into the back of the bank, she can hear what sounds like a woman grunt. Looking around the corner, she sees the villain! It's a woman with long curly red hair and bright green eyes. Her lips are pouty and scarlet red and she has a large chest and legs that seem to go on forever. She's clad in a black leotard with 4-inch heels w along with a black cape with gold trim. Atop her head is a black witches hat.

"Note to self... get some minions. Or make some..." she mutters to herself, throwing wads of bills into a sports bag.

[Harri-chan]

Peering around the corner, Georgia's eyes widen behind her mask. She'd never gone up against a costumed villain before, as one of the super powered heroes always took them down before anyone else had a chance. For a moment, she hesitated, staring at the woman's figure before shaking her head. One part of her mind was telling her to be sensible and get out now, but the other half was urging her on, telling her to think of the fame and respect that would come with taking down an actual supered powered bad guy.

Stepping out from around the corner, she extended her arm, aiming the tranquilizer at the back of the woman in the witches hat. "Get your hands up over your head and maybe you can walk out of here instead of being dragged out!", she said, unable to keep the nerves from her voice despite her best efforts.

[Blaze]

The woman turns to stare at Georgia. At first, she seems to be at a loss for words, perhaps intimidated! But then she starts laughing hysterically, clutching her stomach and slapping her leg.

"Ahahahahahahahahahah! Oh... oh wow, are you really wearing that? You wear that in public where people can see you?!"

She wipes a few tears from the corner of her eyes, suppressing the last few giggles.

"Oh wow... I haven't laughed this hard in ages..."

[Harri-chan]

Even with the mask, the suprise on Georgia's face was clear when the woman began to laugh at her. Still aiming the gun, she glanced down briefly at her costume, and then back up with a frown. "Have you taken a look in the mirror today?", she snapped, sounding quite stung by the mockery. "Now get your hands up over your head and start marching... ", she said, flicking her head back towards the way she'd come.

[Blaze]

The woman narrows her eyes and examines Georgia's tranquillizer gun.

"Let me guess: tranquillizer gun? You did notice the huge hole I melted out there right?" she asks, indicating the lobby.

"You really think a puny thing like that can stop someone like me?" she asks, strutting closer to Georgia, her lips twisting into a cruel grin.

[Harri-chan]

Georgia stood firm, although did pull her arm back slightly to adjust her aim as the black-clad woman came closer. "I'll stop you with whatever means necessary, don't worry about that", she replied. She didn't break eye contact with the woman, not wanting to reveal how nervous she was feeling on the inside. "This is your final warning to surrender...", she urged, aiming the gun down at the other female's thigh. Her brown eyes glared as the woman's lips twisted into a grin, "Three... two... ".

[Blaze]

"One."

With a sudden movement, the woman gestures at Georgia and mutters what sounds like a bunch of nonsense. Suddenly, the barrel of the tranquilizer gun melts over the opening, preventing it from being fired!

"Now what will you do?"

[Harri-chan]

Georgia breaks eye contact to look down at her gun, and even with the mask, the suprise was clear as she watched the tip of the weapon melting and sealing itself closed. Her grip on the gun tightened slightly, and she pulled it back, as if to slide it back into her belt, before suddenly swinging it upwards, trying to catch the woman under the chin with it, her braided hair bouncing around with her movements.

[Blaze]

Surprisingly enough, this actually works. The woman is struck under the chin and staggers back, rubbing her jaw. She glares at Georgia, an angry glint in her eye.

"That really hurt you ugly cow! I was gonna let you run, but not any more!"

Reaching into her coat, she extracts a beaker and a vial, both full of liquids. The beaker is full of a thick red substance while the vial contains a bubbling pink liquid. Pulling out the corks with her teeth, she spits them out and mutters more nonsense before flinging them at Georgia!

[Harri-chan]

Georgia didn't waste any time taking advantage of her blow landing. While the woman staggered back and started letting fly with insults, the Possum launched herself forward, the tight-fitting red spandex showing her athletic body as she leapt up onto a desk, and then launched herself from it, swinging her leg around to try and kick out at the other woman's chest, paying little attention as the vial and beaker struck her in the chest, the pink liquid and red substance spurting up and over her face while in mid-air!

[Blaze]

The woman takes the kick square in the chest, staggering back and coughing hard. But as the liquid makes contact on Georgia's clothes, they react voilently, exploding into a pink cloud that completely consumes Georgia!

"Hehehe... what you get for messing with me..." the woman says, grabbing the bag with the money and running past the cloud with Georgia inside!

[Harri-chan]

Georgia landed on both feet, bending her knees, reflexively lifting a hand to wipe across her mouth as she felt the liquid splashed across her face, but as she did so, the pink smoke consumed her! She started to cough, waving her hands to try and clear the smoke. Hearing the woman taunt her as she ran passed, she reached out blindly to try and grab onto the witch, or block her path, anything to stop her escaping...
