Grand Opening, Grand Closing
"Good morning, this is Linda Park-West coming to you live from the opening of the new Keystone First National Bank. This bank was previously Keystone Savings and Loan, but was recently purchased and updated by its new owners, WorldCom International. According to a statement from World Com, this bank will be the first in 'a new wave of banks that come equipped to deal with the rigors of living in major cities that deal with meta-human issues." Linda says, turning slightly to welcome the bank manager, Coleman Reese.

"Mr. Reese, thank you for joining us. This is quite a turnout! Did you expect this?" Linda asks.

"Oh, we hoped for it, but it's good to see it happening and this is what want. We want people come and check us out. Keystone First National wants to be your bank for life and the first 10,000 customers will get free checking and savings accounts." Mr. Reese says.

"Maybe I need to bring my kids down here." Linda laughs.

The two talk for another minute and the current interview ends. Once her cameraman calls for a cut, Linda hands over her microphone and looks around at the crowds. She wanted a hot dog before the next segment and she thought about calling Iris and asking her to check on Jai.

Her kids were going to be adults next month and Linda smiled wistfully. Her babies were all grown-up. Where had the time gone?

Just then, she figured out what she could get them for their birthday.

"I bet they'll love this." she says, heading inside the bank.

	Mercury's sudden lack of speed gives Zoom ever chance to pull away and he doesn't waste it. He takes off out the door, a blur of color as he flees the scene. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mercury watches Zoom speed away and he can't believe. The only person who's ever outrun him is his father. Mercury is angry as hell, but before he can do anything else, someone yells his name.

"Mercury! She needs your help! She's bleeding out!" someone yells.

Mercury comes back to the here and now and remembers that his mother is on the floor. There is a man standing over her, applying pressure to the wound.

"Mercury, I know you want to go after that man, but this woman is gong to die if she doesn't get to a hospital immediately. The ambulance won't make here before she can--"

Mercury doesn't need to hear anything more.

He picks up his mother and races for Keystone General.

	Zach runs and runs and runs and runs, crossing the country and coming back again before hiding in his apartment, a heavy sense of panic and guilt sitting in his chest like a rock. He'd shot someone. He'd shot someone badly. He probably killed someone. He was turning into his father and he wasn't sure if there was any going back. (Reply to this)(Parent)
