Action Comics Inc.... [for nerdherdchuck]

[psychette]

Things were buzzing at Comic Con. People milling here and there, some in costume, some without. Somewhere near the entrance...

"Com'n, we're gonna miss it!" Jackie urged, absentmindedly tugging on her arm bands. She was loving her Kira costume this year, getting quite a few thumbs up from passers-by...ignoring the fact most of them were thirty-ish guys who probably still lived with their mom.

"Chuck, I thought you wanted to be at this auction thing too. What's taking so long?"

Chuck is sitting down and puts up his hands in surrender, taking quick panicky breaths.

Calm down, he thinks to himself. Maybe another flash can get us out of this?

A couple of quick seconds pass, and he's focused now. A quick swipe with his right leg manages to knock the gun out of the kidnapper's hand. Chuck grabs the gun quickly and points it back at him.

"Not so stupid now, is it?" Chuck retorts, though he's showing a bit of his discomfort holding the gun.

The one with the tire iron mark looks upset but raises his hands. But the one holding to Jackie yanks her against himself, using her for a shield, flicking out a knife against her throat.

Ironically, it does the opposite to Jackie as it would most people, she starts talking more. "Ok, this is REALLY silly, all of this for a dumb painting. Seriously, you guys should have just bid more, all of this wouldn't have happened..."
He growls at her, keeping his eyes on Chuck with the gun. "Shut up!" Looks like a stalemate.

"All right, look," Chuck begins, trying to seem like he's in control of the situation. "Let her go and no one will get hurt. Cuz, well, I could still shoot you before you did anything to her," Chuck was trying to be convincing that he was a marksman, but it was doubtful the kidnapper would buy this.
