"What are you-!" ...Oh, no. He saw what was about to happen just before it unfolded. And suddenly, Wild Tiger hit him like a canon ball, knocking him off the pinned perpetrator.
Of course.
"Get up!" He hollers, shoving the other crime fighter that had landed so inconvenietly on top of their tumble. His sharp eye scans the area for their target quickly to see if he'd fled back into the dust cloud- Their Hundered Power's speed was necessary to grab him before he activated that power of his, and time was ticking down.
"Hey," He had an idea. "Cover me."
And suddenly, Barnaby was removing his armor, stripping down to the black power suit beneath.

He had indeed retreated back to the dusty cover of the crumbling bank. He threw his back to the nearest stable wall. Shit his arm hurt...it shouldn't hinder him but dammit, ow. Good thing that oaf Tiger had shown up or he would have been screwed. He just needed to hold out a little longer. He reached out with his power for something he could use defensively when he's found out again.

The dust is slowly clearing now that the destruction has been halted, and the aircraft lowers to get a closer look of the battle. "OUCH, Barnaby just got a faceful of his partner, and the perpetrator is escaping! But wait, what's this...?"
"Umm...Miss Joubert?" her intern intoned quietly from beside her. Ignoring her, Agnes's eyes narrow slowly as she watches Barnaby through the clouds of concrete dust. "What is he...?"
"Barnaby appears to be removing his armor! What is he thinking??"

Tiger was just as surprised, grunted as they impacted. Luckily their suits absorbed most of the actual bruising force, leaving only shock value to stun them. He pushed himself off and rolled up to his feet, addled just a little.
He opened his mouth, then looked at him, half crouched as a glow suffused his body. "Oy is this really the time to be stripping for your fans, Bunny-chan?" he asked, but still, he didn't quiet question the idea. He exhaled heavily, exasperated, and turned to peer into the clouds of dust. He tapped the side of his helmet to bring up the heads-up display, searching for signs of life as he stepped into the dust.
"OYE," he yelled into the mess, one hand to his mouth as he mvoed throught he dust, waving at it as if he could move it all one handed like Sky High. "Ooooooooooooye, where did you gooooo."

"Could you..." Barnaby paused just long enough for a flat stare. "Make...a distraction....great."
He vanished from behind his partner, darting off inside the unstable bank, slipping quietly around falling walls, listening intently as his eyes scanned his surroundings. Where?

Haha, WildTiger huh? He should be more fun. Barnaby is temporarily forgotten for Tiger. Oi! I'm right here ya stupid fuck! He moves immediately after to no be "right here" anymore. The green glow of Tigers armor at least gives him an advantage on sighting the hero, and aiming at him. With the draw of his voice from one direction to try distracting Tiger, the cause of so much of the buildings destruction- an iron volleyball sized sphere- hurtles at the hero from the other.

"Miss Joubert!" the intern repeats, a little louder, but still the business woman remains with her attention fixed on the screen. "Where did he go...?" she mutters to herself instead.
"They've lost the robber! Looks like Wild Tiger and Barnaby are splitting up to search for him!" the announcer continues as the team once again disappears into the slowly settling dust.
"MISS JOUBERT!" the girl finally yells, and her superior, annoyed, turns to look at her. "What IS IT? Can't you see I'm--"
The girl is looking back at her with wide eyes, a cordless phone pressed to her ear. "Miss Joubert, the bank security contacted us from inside. They're being held hostage. There's another robber!"
"TIGER! BARNABY!" Agnes calls into her headset immediately, her heart starting to pound. "There's another culprit inside!!"
"Th-this just in!" the announcer cries, watching all this go down. "We've just had word that there's another criminal somewhere inside the building! Where are the other Heroes??"

Barnaby froze momentarily. Another? If it was another next... now would be a particularly bad time to run to him or her, without his suit and his power half over. One at a time. Back to focus.
He can hear the crude shout directed at his partner, and focuses in that direction, slipping closer... There!
As the iron sphere cuts through the dust Barnaby darts swiftly towards the impromptu weapon's place of origin, attempting to latch hold of the crook again- for good, this time.

Inside the bank, there's no sign of the other robber him- or herself, just their handiwork. It had been after hours when the bank was broken into, so all who remain are security, but they seem to be cemented to various features of the bank lobby and one is even stuck to the open door of the large vault in the back. Several are unconscious, even more have a few visible bruises already rising on their skin, and one or two may even be bleeding a little.
Meanwhile, in the hovering HeroTV station above, several crew members are trying to keep hold on Agnes as she attempts to don a skydiving parachute.
"Get out of my way! We need to get a closer look at what's happening inside the building!" she cries, but no one else seems too keen on the idea.

Tiger makes a grand show of moving through the debris. "How am I supposed to see anything when you're making such a me~eees?" he yelled into the dust, a bit annoyed at all the broken buildings.
"More? C'mon, you gotta be kidding me." He mutters into his headset while Agnes chatters in the background. His head twitches toward the other sounds going on. "Ha haa, gotcha you little--"
He takes a few steps forward, falling for it, when there's a whistling sound right behind him.
Give the man credit, a green neon blur, Tiger just manages to dodge the incoming volley-ball sized bullet. "Hey hey hey, watch it with that thing!" He dove tot he side, crouching low and looking back for where it came from, all senses suddenly alert for movement.

To bad, Tiger. Your attacker is not where the ball came from, he's where it went to and it's coming back. Frustrated with his miss he catches the ball up hurls it immediately back at Tiger, his power forcing it back up to a damaging speed.

"Tch," Barnaby curses under his breath as he finds nothing but more dust. Where was Sky High when they needed him? The crook couldn't be too far from Tiger to aim like that- with those shades on, his vision would be even more impaired than theirs.
His eyes focus on the ball's movements- that pause, before it launches again was suspicious enough for the blonde hero to dart low in that direction next, looking for the shock of red hair through the dust, aiming to grab an ankle.

"What's with the volleyball?!" As the dust breaks from the speed of the metal ball, it at least gives him a small amount of warning. He dodges out of the way, eyes narrowed. "Ha!"
C'mon, c'mon! He streaks after where it can come from, unaware of Barnaby doing the same. "Oye, Bunny-chan," he mutters as he moves, "I don't want to keep playing catch!"

Finally, Agnes resigned herself to the idea that she wasn't getting into the bank, and glanced back to her headset to contact the pair of heroes on the scene. "Barnaby! Tiger! One of you get in that bank! We need to take care of both of these guys before they get away!"
As the announcer continued to describe what little could be seen from their vantage point, Agnes began tapping a heeled foot impatiently. Those other Heroes were going to get an earful from her later. How could they just not show up?!

HE MISSED A FUCKING GAIN!?!? Oh he'll get him this time. He pulls the ball back again, this time he'll anticipate the dodge and WAHH! He wailed in surprise, he didn't see Bunny coming without the presence of his armor to tip him off and stumbled, unbalanced by the sudden force on his leg. Consequently the iron ball was released from his influence and flew freely, still on course with Tiger but lacking the force and guided aim it had previously. " Lemme go!" He instinctively made an attempt to push Bunny away with his power, but gave that up in favor of physically struggling once it hit him that the hero had shed his armor.
