The GSA agent took a few steps forward and took up position in front of both groups.
"Are you ready?" he stood there, laughing as he pulled out a stun baton. "We sure are, aren't we boys?"
"Uhhh! Sir?" A voice called from the agents.
"What?!" The agent span round. The last thing he saw was a pair of fists- one slightly tanned, one with an intricately tattooed forearm- handcuffed together, both flying at his face. Then unconsciousness slipped in.

Mason Eckhart sat alone in his office. There was a knock on the door.
"Enter." Called Eckhart. A figure walked up to him and stood at the desk in front of him. "Have you retrieved the disk?"
Julius Marx lowered his head slightly. "It should be being collected as we speak., sir."
"What do you mean, 'should be'?" He stood up and walked behind Marx, standing behind him, facing the other way. Marx kept facing the desk, his head still lowered.
"Mutant X beat us to the location and we. . . Argghh!" Marx screamed in pain. Eckhart switched off the device in his hand as Marx fell to his knees.
"My new subdermal governor can render any man useless." He knelt down next to Marx, grasping him round the throat. Marx had a small trickle of blood, running from the corner of his mouth. "If Mutant X or the public get that disk, there will be catastrophic results!" Marx stared into those cold eyes, those relentless eyes, as Eckhart snapped at him menacingly. "If Mutant X found out about project Xtreme, we shall be finished! Do you understand me?!" All Marx can do is nod slightly in Eckhart's grip. His head still pounding. "Good! Your men better have it, for your sake! Now go." He let go of Marx's throat, who, catching his breath, stood up quickly, bowed his head, and backed out quickly. Eckhart stood up, brushed himself down with a handkerchief, straightened his shirt, and went back over to his desk and sat down.
"Soon. Very soon now."

Ice and Shalimar both snapped their wrists in opposite directions, snapping the handcuffs. Ice ran over to a nearby table, two agents following him. He heel-planted the table's edge and spun around, kicking both agents in the head. He crouched on the floor for Shalimar to run up to him, catch her foot in his hands and get launched in the air. She landed in the middle of the fray, taking guards out left right and centre. "Rock!" Shouted Tornado. "I'm on it!" Rock turned himself into his rock-like state and ploughed his way through. Ice turned into an ice-like state and Inferno covered himself in a suit of flame, his hair on fire, only his head exposed. They too, ploughed through the guards, who were all disposed with in short order. Everything was over before Brennan, Emma, Jesse and Adam knew what had happened.
"We need to get out of here," said Tornado, "Before more turn up."
"There's a slight problem with that," said Shalimar. She stared at Ice. "One of our cars has been totalled, and the others were probably wrecked by the GSA."
"That's okay," Jolt chirped up. "We have our own cars."
Sorry about the lateness of this chapter. I had a mental block. Sorry about the shortness of this chapter as well, but I want to devote a whole chapter to a big action sequence next. If you haven't guessed yet, it's a car chase. Keep reading!
