---

Superman has posed:
Metropolis First National Bank, home to some of the creme de la creme. Most of that creme is from Metropolis. It's not unheard of that someone may have a secret nest egg, an extra stahs or similar in Metropolis. It's not exactly illegal, just not a place someone would normally look.

And that's why Emma Frost is in metropolis. Two people away from the teller, a group suddenly bursts in. Guns are quick to be drawn. "Everyone on the floor. Hands spread out," typical disguises, simple gblack masks and matching attires. all of it black and cmmon. An outfit you can get anywhere. Just, boots, long sleeve shirt and gloves.

"Clock's ticking!" one yells out and one starts guard as if watching the people. Another pulls out zip ties and begins restraining those on the ground.

The last two are rushing toward the tellers with guns drawn telling them simple things.

"Hands where we can see them? Who has access to the deposit boxes? We've got to make a withdraw there. Maybe somewhere else, too," and the faces are all business. It's up to Emma what she does.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost She lifts an eyebrow as she looks over. She, of course, lifts her hands at least until they state they are going for the deposit box. After all, what she's after is currently getting fetched, and she'd be rather upset if that got taken.

     She debits, if she's gonna be a good girl or not, though, in a sense, She did do something.. Those thugs forcing everybody to the ground seem to move around like they don't see Emma even though she's standing there with hands on her hips.

     She takes out her phone and seems to be texting somebody before she figures she will take action.

Superman has posed:
The guard and the one tying people up don't notice her. One of the men up front happen to look back, "The blonde, too! No hostages!"

Both the guard, and the restrainer look perplexed. "What blonde?" they ask genuinely confused. Everyone can see Emma, but it's like something is wrong with the both of them. They literally can't see someone that's obviously there.

Even some of the customers look toward Emma curiously. They may not think she's a mutant, but they wonder if the two men have had small strokes or something like that.

Time continues to tick by though.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Sighs to the guy who spoke up " Could you be a dear and get my item .. " She points. " I really don't wanna be part of this; I have an appointment, you see. " She plans to let them do what they're going to do, but planting a command so they can't pull the trigger on any weapon, making them unable to hurt anybody. That's the move she plans to make .

     She uses her powers to command the 3rd guy to get her item. Once she has that, she might leave or help. She's not sure yet, but she wants her item more.. after all, it's her mother's and rather precious to her.

Superman has posed:
The third one starts to move as she commands. That's when the forth one rears their assault rifle around and open fire on Emma. When the woman should have fel thte bullets, even hitting diamond, Emma doesn't. There is a rush of wind, the doors burst open. Everything's so face.

Holding the bullets in his hand is Superman.

Either they did not do enough research on the clock, or Emma caused enough of a riple effect to delay them just enough.

Superman stands there. "Are you okay?" he asks Emma.

Emma Frost has posed:
Her eyebrows shoot up.. mostly because of what she's sensing he's a hero that's nothing new but his mind dosn't work like a human mind and that's diffrent he's got natural shields and that's intresting.. it's not that she can't get it she won't bother he's a good guy after all but she dosn't hear his thinking that easy and that makes her surprised.. she nods " Yes thank you " She states simply

     that And he kinda looks like her type .

Superman has posed:
Superman drops the bullets and he starts to move up toward the group. First is the two at the front. They're quick to take hostages. This is where Emma could return the favor. She could make them put down the guns and Superamn could get them.

"How about we just let the hostages go," Superman's sure he can save one of them, but both is a little dicey. So, that's why he's bothered by two hostages.

Those behind him he keeps an ear out for. He waits for a few moemnts to see what happens. The tension weaves through the air.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Sighs and snaps her fingers " SLEEP " is all she says and all of the bad guys just dropp down out cold for him as she looks over " Does that help? " She asks a little bit with a sultry smile towards him . a hand on her hip whats better is she already telekentic grabed her item it's in her coat now she's happy and she can flirt with the big guy

Superman has posed:
"Yes," Superman says firmly and there's another rush of air. He takes down one with a simple, small punch. And then another strike to the other. Rushing past, he goes to grab the zip ties and begins restraining them while freeing those tied up.

"Can someone call the Metropolis PD?" he asks and Superman's trying to leave because that's how he works. Some could try to flag him down though.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Lets him go though she smirks ' as she holds out a paper " Call me some time " She says softly for what ever reason she knows he's busy so she won't keep him just hold out her number.

Superman has posed:
Superman will take the paper, it's not the first time people give him notes. He always takes them, typically they're disregard, tossed out. However, Superman holds onto this one for now. Something about her feels familiar, so he wants to figur eout why before possibly tossing out that piece of paper.
