It was eleven in the morning now, as Manny was walking along the streets. His eyes were red at the moment. His mind was a drift while pondering if the plan was good. He kept telling himself that it was the best option he had, and if it didn't work well, he would have a new issue to suffer through in life. He arrived to the Mayan Arcade. Looking inside, he saw the familiar black haired friend of his, Zoe, sitting around, looking bored. She was wearing a light purple hoody. It didn't appear she was there to enjoy some arcade action. In fact, there weren't many there. Manny entered inside, beginning to approach her. "Zoe! Hey," he happily greeted. "Oh, hi, Manny. Why'd you ask me to meet you here?" she responded. He had called her on someone else's cell phone that he had 'borrowed' for a moment.

Manny looked happier than usual. Zoe was glad he was cheery, but it did make her nervous for a bit. The only reassurance that he was okay was his red eyes not showing any real pain. His eyes just showed some glimmer of scheming, a look she was all too familiar with. "I wanted to discuss another heist, but this time a bigger target," he hummed while taking a seat beside her, trying to look casual while they talked, relying on the arcade noise to drown them out. "Everyone around town's hearing that you went on a criminal capture spree the other day. Are you trying to set me up?" Zoe hesitantly spoke while looking to the floor, worried he might just be a full-fledged law abiding hero who was now trying to weed out Black Cuervo.

Manny reached his arm around her, pulling her closer to him. Zoe blushed, as feeling closer to his side made it feel like her body was calming itself. "I only did that to get the cops to trust me without Frida's Dad keeping watch for me. That way, can do a better heist…" Manny continued thinking the act of close relations would not only clear her mind of any doubts, but keep her trusting him. He doubted his ability to ever turn a friend in without any provocation, but his plan was to try and see if a big enough crime could get rid of his red eyes this time, since it was the only thing he could associate them to.

"What did you have in mind?" Zoe asked, believing he had at least deserved her trust right now. "I know I ruined your last robbery, but this time, we can steal twice as much from the bank," Manny elaborated, believing that the bank's defenses were already weaker due to her last attempt that gravely damaged the bank's security. "What do you say?" he awaited her approval. She thought about it for a minute. Their alter egos just might be able to do it with ease. "Let's go then," she agreed before gently brushing his hand off and standing up, ready to go with him. Manny got a grin before leaving the Mayan Arcade with her.

In less than an hour, the two found themselves on top of a rooftop. The all too familiar bank was nearby. Zoe was in her Black Cuervo outfit, keeping a bit of a close eye on the environment and on Manny, who was disguised as El Tigre at the moment. "So you damaged the cameras last time you came?" he repeated, wanting to make sure everything was straight while he peeked over the rooftop. "Unless my weapon doesn't work on electronics, yes," Zoe insisted, unsure if they had repaired them or not since the last attempt. She wasn't even sure of what the end goal was for this, but she knew it will likely make up for her somewhat failed robbery last time.

"Well, plan's simple. You break the vault open and I'll beat up the guards," Manny described the plan. Zoe's eyes glazed over boredly. "They probably hired more guards now," she spoke, thinking there may be more newly hired guards by now to help protect while things got repaired. The two began to descend from the rooftop, both disguised in their alter egos, and approached the bank's side. Zoe let one of her blasters appear from her wrist. "And here… we… go!" she fired a blast through the wall, cutting through it easily. Smoke and rubble burst from the newly opened hole, and an alarm instantly set off. The two entered inside calmly, seeing a lot of the people already on the floor like they had been panicked by a bombing.

Manny and Zoe entered inside, calm and relaxed, while most of the people still cowered on the floor. "…Something is wrong. I don't see any security," Zoe pointed out. There were civilians, but no guards. Just then, Manny saw something out of the corner of his eye, pulling Zoe out of the way, hearing the sounds of gunfire going off and bullets pelting the ground. "What is that?!" she shouted. Clearly it was the sound of a machine gun going off. "I don't know!" he shook his head, somewhat panicked, looking around the corner to see one officer in a swat uniform who was firing from the upper floor. Their security had been upgraded to just one guy who was ready to brutalize anyone that even caused remote threats to the bank.

Manny was thinking the police had decided to give the security to the bank in case they got robbed while weak. He just rubbed his head, knowing it wasn't going to be easy. He had to think on it. "Quick. Shoot the ceiling," he suddenly spurted out. Zoe didn't think now was the best time to try and query about the plan, so she aimed her wrist blaster up and fired, blasting a hole clean through to the second floor. Manny quickly pulled himself up and immediately began sneaking around while the guard was distracted, assuming the corner they were hiding in was still fully inhabited.

Manny got close enough to where the guard was reloading from around the corner. Manny leapt out from the side, lunging at the SWAT unit and digging one of his claws into his leg, forcing him onto his back. Zoe took it as the best time to start working on breaking into the safe, though she was unaware that her criminal assistant was beating up and brutalizing the guard, with just a smile like it was satisfying to him, but once the guard had fallen unconscious from heavy head trauma, Manny stopped, panting and staring at him. He stood up, heading back downstairs where the people were still hiding on the ground. "You okay?" Zoe worriedly asked while she was firing into the safe, just waiting for her blaster to pierce it. "Y…yeah… he just didn't go down easy," he lied, knowing the man had practically given up when his leg got impaled. The safe began to creak open as finally she broke through. The two entered inside to begin stealing the money.
