It's an emotion, taking me over....
Iris laid on her stomach in her bedroom at home.

She was bored. Her homework was done, there was nothing good on t.v., and almost everyone was busy. If there was one thing that Iris hated, it was being bored. She twisted a strand of hair around her finger, looked out her window, and heaved a sigh.

Why was there never anything to do around here?

The radio, which had been playing an upbeat Taylor Swift song, suddenly cut off in the middle of the chorus.

"Word that the Rainbow Raiderettes have appeared in downtown Keystone City has reached us here at KX293 FM. The Raiderettes are currently making their way through the stores at the Golden Ridge Plaza...shoppers are in a panic...."

Iris didn't need to hear anymore. She hopped up, grinning. Finally, something to DO. Quickly changing into her Impulse costume, Iris zipped out of the house, and down to Golden Ridge Plaza. She didn't think to call Jai or her Dad.

She could take them with one hand behind her back.

She was, after all, the Fastest Girl Alive.

	"No. You really don't." Iris was standing in the doorway of the jewelry store, her arms folded over her chest. And she had friends with her. "Actually, you don't need any of that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait kept quiet and just watched. Thankfully there was a fountain not too far away. She could grab water if needed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth lets the more experienced people take the lead here, obviously. But she hopes they won't get too bottlenecked by the store doors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah had her Beetle-Gun in one hand, ready to fire. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way, ladies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ooooooh! We're really scared by Fat-Ass's friends." Mandy unleashed a blast from her yellow belt at the group. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Does everyone in this town have to dress up in a stupid costume and get involved in other people's business? And Fat-Ass's friends are almost fatter than she is!" Mitzi says, aiming a violet blast at one of the guys. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jay meant to follow the plan, split them up - but there's a sudden impulse, he can't help it - he needs to rush in, stop waiting, move. The Hawk instincts take over, but thankfully, so do the reflexes. He leaps over the violet beam and rushes at Mitzi. "Hey, hey, there's enough of me for all of you, bring it on."

	Dinah quickly thumbed her Beetle-Gun's selector, switching to a grappling line, which she fired at the nearest street lamp, hauling her over and up on top of it, and, more importantly, over the yellow blast. "Remember the plan!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait pulled water out of the fountain and sent a whip flying toward one of the girls. Maybe just a hard enough hit will take care of them. Cait didn't want to hurt anyone more than necessary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“You guys are no fun and just when I found matching earrings and necklace to go with my new purse,” Buffy says before firing blue blasts towards the heroes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pippi doesn't have the offensive punch of some of the others, but she is one of the better with her gem, through practice and consistency more than anything. She dives out of the main line of fire, and just focuses on hoping none of her friends get hurt - well, or any of the bystanders, can't have stray shots hitting them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Candy, hit by the water whip, turns to Cait, sopping wet, and enraged. Her arms are held out to let the water drip off of her. "Oh. My. GAWD. YOU. *BITCH!" She begins blasting repeatedly towards Cait, trying to take her down!* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Temporarily out of the line of fire, Dinah fired strobe blasts from her Beetle-Gun at the Raiderettes to try and disorient them long enough for the others to break them up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait tried to dodge, but she got hit with a blast of red energy. She growled and sent the whip toward Candy. "Take that!" she yelled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The first casualty is always the plan," Ruth mutters -- she and Jay would need to talk later -- and makes her way in, zipping around to avoid the blue blasts and trying to grab the redhead to pull her away from the others. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Candy snarls, furious at getting soaking wet, even as her shield protects her from any additional damage from the water whip. "You ruined my HAIR!" she squeals. She fires blast after crimson blast at Cait, not too careful about where the blasts are going... including one that goes straight for Ruth... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cerdian, meanwhile, begins weaving a spell to entrap the blond girl with the emerald ring within a shield to take her down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When Ruth grabs Buffy she starts screaming in a panic, firing blasts wildly and with zero accuracy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
