Shockwave (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=201275.msg9833736#msg9833736)<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/65/1278207809618.jpg)</div><br/><br/>The sudden appearance of Hellfire caught Shockwave's curiosity, committing her appearance to memory but filing it all away for later so that she could focus upon the test.  Shockwave didn't believe in coincidences, but she just couldn't think about it right now.  If she let herself really dwell on how someone was...<br/><br/>"Sure," Shockwave agreed, giving her partner a nod and forcing away the other situation.  "I'll just need you to let me get into a good spot first, then."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>At the sudden appearance of the Green Gale, the robbers couldn't help but panic.  They failed to notice how the winds were blocked from so much as touching the hostages, and one of the robbers managed to get off a shot before hitting the wall.<br/><br/>Accompanied by a sudden scream from the poor girl who was in the way for the shot, the bullet screamed its way to a few feet from her face, then stopped dead rapidly enough to drop to the ground, bouncing harmlessly with its momentum stolen.  Confusion briefly took the group, until Shockwave stepped into view.<br/><br/>The wind whipped at her hair and sent the golden locks splaying, until she got down upon a knee in a universal gesture for the hostages to stay low. She offered a smile and an outstretched hand, saying, "Come on, let's get you out of here."<br/><br/>Trepidation turned to desperation as the hostages quickly crawled their way over, and with their safety all but assured, Shockwave peeked back to check for any sign of the getaway vehicle.
