Abby was watching the two criminals and smirked when the girl kicked rocks at the decoys as they bounced off of them like they were real. Her father and her worked hard on that ability of the suit, so that they wouldn’t be that easily detected. She has got to love her family’s technology. Even though she wasn’t making a move, she was doing hundreds of calculations in her head as well as having her AI do some possible scenarios as to what they could do next. Then when they demanded she get the money that she had so effectively taken out of their reach, she only laughed at them. Her eyes got wide as she saw the guy take aim toward the apartment building behind her. She raised her hand and the decoys did the same. She prepared to use her magnetism to push the bullets on a much different and safer path, and use it to pull the guns towards her. However, before she could prepare the suit to follow that command the guy fired, and she slightly panicked before her brother showed up and put himself between the bullets and the innocent people in the building.
”Didn’t your mother ever tell you that bullets can poke your eye out?”
She smirked at her brother’s greeting, and stifled a laugh that threatened to escape her. ”I was wondering when you would show up. Took longer than expected, then?” She told him, and asked about the business deal that she knew him and their father were attending without giving any information about them away. She knew that he would know what she was asking. She then turned to the criminals, and gave another smirk that they couldn’t see. ”Playtime is now over. It is time to send the two of you to timeout. A twenty to life timeout.” She told them and made a move towards the girl.

Cali grit her teeth in annoyance as the rocks bounced off the holograms. Damn this suit was good. Then as Cal started firing, she ducked in surprise, then looked up as Iron Boy spoke to them. She growled a little in annoyance and looked over at Cal, then back at the decoys. As they started to close in, she looked around, trying to find a way out. She looked over at Cal and grabbed his arm, then back at Iron Baby.
"I don't think so."
She turned and started running, weaving through every possible opening between the decoys. She kept a tight grip on Cal's arm, making sure he was beside her the whole time. Once clear of the decoys, she ran headlong towards the edge of the building. A moment before the edge, she wrapped her arms around Cal and jumped over the edge with him, using her flight to slow their descent. She groaned with the strain of holding his weight, but they managed to land without injury. She panted a little as she looked around and grabbed a bent bar, managing to use it to pull a cover off a manhole. She looked up at Cal as she spoke.
"Jump in! I'll throw them off!"
She looked up at the roof, then back at Cal.
"No time to argue, go!"
Once he was inside, she put the cover back on and ran over to a door nearby, using the bar to pry the door open and break the handle, making it look like that was where Cal had gone. Standing back, she tossed the bar aside, and looked up.
"Ok... Let's see what I get."
She threw her arms up into the air and took off flying, heading straight up to try and throw the heroes off. She looked down at them as she passed and turned, taking off into the buildings. She had to find somewhere to hide and get away from them. She just wasn't sure where she'd hide...

A sick laugh escaped his lips as he pulled the trigger and found no resistance. He half expected the hero to blast him to save the innocents but apparently she was too good and noble. She couldn't bring herself to harm him. She probably wanted him to be reformed and become a functioning member of society and all that bull. But he yelled in annoyance as the other Iron one showed up and blocked the bullets.
"Oddly enough she actually did. Not to mention preaching about other lame crap."
He said with a shrug before he felt Cali grab his arm. Then before he knew it he was running along with her. He was used to this plan and knew exactly where she was going with this.
"You heroes really need to work on your lines. That was pretty lame."
He said before they jumped off the building. He could feel her bony arms digging into his ribs as the ground came up to them.
"You saying I need to lose weight sis?"
He asked with a slight laugh before he watched her open a manhole lid. He didn't even have a chance to argue as the shoved him in. He landed in the sewer and looked around with a sigh.
"I hate sewers...."
He said shaking his head and taking off running.

Before Abby can react to stop them, the girl grabbed the boy and jumped off the roof. Her sensors were of course keeping track of them, and she raised an eyebrow inside her helmet. She turned off the comm to the outside and opened up one to her brother. She needed to discuss the best way to capture them. She wondered on who she should go after, the guy or the girl. As her AI had told her that the guy was now in the sewers as the girl had taken to the air. ”You want the guy or the girl? And any ideas on how to handle them?” She asked her brother as she let her AI keep track of the criminals.
As she waited on him to answer her, she increased her suit’s sensors to maximum to make sure that the girl doesn’t escape them. She got her suit ready to chase the target that she will go after, and looked to her brother. He needed to decide, and do it soon. She could tell that they are getting away, and that wouldn’t be too good for their father and them. She could just see the headlines in the morning, ”Superheroes let bank robbers escape”. Not something a hero or a team of heroes want to see…

As he reached the scene and stopped the bullets from doing any sort of damage to the civilians it seemed the villains wanted to escape badly. He took notice to the girl taking a hold onto what Davis presumed to be her brother and run to the side. Of course people couldn't tell due to his Iron Boy helmet but he had a huge grin on his face. Why can't these villains make it easy on themselves and just give it in. Normally they never wind, at least in the end any way Davis thought to himself. He watched as they sibling duo jump from the side of the building and made a haste decision on their escape. But of course no matter where they went it didn't matter, both his and his sisters suits had life detectors that went pretty far. And for a couple of different skinned mutants running away from a robbery they stuck out like a swore thumb.
Davis heard his sister over the com-link and looked over to her as he motioned his head for her to go after the guy. While he himself went after the girl who thought she could out fly either of them. His repulser systems kicked into high gear as he speed off after the girl who was 'getting away'. "You know I had a turtle that could fly faster than you. Called him 'you should stop now before it gets worse for yourself' or something like that. As you can tell I'm not so great with names" Davis said, making jokes here and there. Again he kicked up his pulsors up a notch as he continued to catch up with the girl.

Cali looked back as Iron Boy followed. She knew she could never outrun one of these suits, but she hoped she could outmaneuver him. He started to catch up to her and she took a deep breath, waiting until the last moment. He was just behind her, within reach, and she angled upwards, spinning and going the other way. She made sure to always keep out of reach while she tried to find a place to hide. She was hoping she could just barely keep out of reach by being more agile than him. She knew they probably had sensors keeping track of her and Cal, which meant Cal was probably trapped in the sewers by the other hero. She grit her teeth in anger as she continued to dodge Davis.
She turned sharply around a corner, then turned straight up, flying up a building, hoping she might be able to hide in one of the water towers and mask her heat signature. She reached the roof and flew straight at the tower, pulling the top open and moving inside. Now she was blind, unable to tell if he could even see her. She took a deep breath and lowered herself into the water, concentrating on a meditative state. If she could slow her heart rate down, convince his monitors that she wasn't there, then she'd have a chance. She just prayed this would work.

"I hope you know what you're doing sis..."
He said shaking his head and sighing a bit as he began to run. He made his way up onto the walkway where it was easier to walk. No doubt the two heroes would split up and come after them. He just hoped she could get away. If he got caught he could break out. All he needed was eye contact and he'd be free. It worked every time. He knew he needed to get further away before going back up to the surface. He placed his gun back in the holster, no doubt the water had messed it up.
As he ran his parkour skills really came into play. He jumped over railings with ease, making turns and jumping to the opposite side of the sewer. When he felt he was far enough away, about 3 or 4 blocks he began climbing a ladder. This whole thing had gone horribly wrong. No money, and now they were split up. He needed to protect his sister, that was his job. And the heroes had caused them to split up. They were going to have to pay for what they'd done. He'd make them his puppets. Maybe even have some fun with the female one. As he reached the top of the ladder he slowly opened the manhole and looked around, seeing if it was clear.

Abby grinned at her brother, even though she knew he couldn’t see her. So she was to go after the guy, and that left him to chase the girl. She saw him motion his head for her to chase the guy down, and she was off. Her sensors updating her on his movements under the ground, and she followed him above it. Then it suddenly changed after traveling three or four blocks, as her AI told her that the guy was climbing straight up.
She of course grinned, and turned her suit back to being invisible. She waited right by the manhole cover and watched as it slowly moved up and her target peeked out to take a look around. She knew he couldn’t see her and she waited patiently for him to climb completely out. She had no idea on what his powers were, but she was going to have to be careful until she did.

(OOC: In the interest of keeping things going I figured I can post. If it's not cool I can delete it)
Seeing no one he should be concerned about and also no cars coming he climbed out of the manhole and began looking around. He breathed a slight sigh of relief before listening to hear the tell tale signs of thrusters or anything from one of those Iron people. Then his thoughts turned to Cali as he walked towards the sidewalk. He needed to find her and make sure she was alright. And if she was captured then he wouldn't rest until every cop was dead or he got her back. Whichever came first.
"Now to find Cali."
He said walking over to the sidewalk and beginning to walk back towards the bank. He was down there awhile and no doubt the cops have dissipated by now. Not to mention he needs to go back to where Cali took off from, knowing she'd go the opposite direction as him. It was pretty standard practice for when the situation looked bleak.
