<strong></strong><div align="center">The Robbery</div>[/b]<br/><br/>The Hippo has a reputation for being incredibly stupid but he's not nearly as dumb as other Splicers have been. He gave up before the big fight, knowing he was licked and just falling to his knees to start playing the angles. He wasn't a complete idiot after all, as he puts his hands up to let the arrest happen.<br/><br/>Gauss has the hostages under a protective field when other heroes get there, metal objects visibly floating in the air around the boundary. Including a bullet or two from the looks of it. The two last hostage takers were locked in an improptu metal cage, floating around them as they wait for authorities.<br/><br/>Downshift was telling the truth, the money from the robbery was almost all recovered in a local Subway bathroom still in the dufflebags. Though according to Hippo, they were one bag short. He was nowhere to be found though, Downshift appearing to have taken the way out of running for it.
