In the Bank
Marcus stepped toward Ethic, the all too familiar gleam of blood lust in his eyes. "Good thing I know to kill that annoying brat next time I see him," Marcus said lowly. "He didn't do his work, for shame." Acting as though he had just realized something, the killer hardened his gaze. "What's to keep me from killing you right now?" he questioned, taking his knife out.
All of Marcus' motion, however, froze as Rose quickly pulled herself to her feet and called a quiet, "Freeze." Without taking her eyes off of Marcus, she stepped in front of Enya and called to Ethic, "Hurry, I can't hold him forever." Hardening her green-eyed stare at her target, she asked, "Who did you threaten? Is he one of us?"
The killer made some muffled noises, and Rose mentally rolled her eyes. Clearly he wouldn't be speaking for awhile.

Gestas walked up a corridor in agitation, and found, to his great disgust and displeasure, a giant rat-like creature and two girls, all dead. "Well, well," he sighed, looking at his watch in aggravation. "Seems like you've gone over hours. Now, get out." With that, he tapped his staff and snapped his fingers, causing the floor beneath the three to spring up and out of a hole in the ceiling of the building that had opened, closing as soon as the three bodies were out of sight. "That takes care of that," Gestas muttered, heading to talk with Smaug about the new security measures that had been suggested by the bank manager.
In the Slums
Bonnie and Clyde shared one last, uncertain look before Bonnie twirled her gun and stashed it in its holder effortlessly, clearly having practiced several times. Neither had seen him before, but neither had an outstanding reason not to trust him other than their instincts. "Fine sugar," Bonnie drawled. "Just remember I still have a real itchy trigger finger for you."
It wasn't a moment after she had finished her statement that a huge explosion happened, causing all gathered around to fly backwards, dazed. "Dagummit," Clyde swore, getting to his feet slowly. "What in the nine hells was that?" Clyde's question went unanswered, however, as the bodies of Quincy, Ellaria, and Annie fell straight into the hole of the explosion.
"Ma cherie," François gasped, immediately rushing to her aid. Looking around, he asked, "What happened to her?"
Clyde shook his head. "Damned if I know," he muttered, looking around at his comrades, then to the open portal. "All I reckon is we best get in that portal unless we want to wait on this heist." Grabbing Reil, he strode through the entrance.
Bonnie sighed and slung Ellaria over her shoulder. "Poor thing'll come back to life eventually," she muttered, following Clyde with muttered curses. François quickly followed suit, picking Annie up gently.
Prometheus watched them. "Friends, come open the cargo bay for me," he said, making his way back to the bank. "This way, I can assist you."
"You betcha big guy," Bonnie called. Looking at Phantom, Noella, and Frazzle, she asked in a huff, "Well, are you vermints coming or aren't you?"
Kenny
Morgana gave a dry, hollow chuckle as Kenny walked to the door. "Foolish boy," she droned, looking at him in slight disbelief. "You really think I'm going to give up my chance to be free of this wretched bank? No, you're going to stay here." Looking around, she gave an emotionless smile. "Your aura won't work here, aura user. This room was fortified specifically to hold you. And look, everything you could ever want to learn is in your grasp." Morgana flicked her wrist, and a book flew in front of Kenny's face. "Start learning, you've got all of eternity."
