After quickly changing into their vigilante outfits (Cleo was kind enough to let them change in the bathrooms of the cafe, but they weren't kind enough to come along), Jimmy and BDubs made their way to the local bank.

The moment they stepped inside, they were greeted with the sight of Viridian monologuing to a tied up bank worker, a woman with dyed white hair and brown eyes who looked very bored, about how the heroes were all awful at their jobs and they couldn't stop him if they tried.

"Like, honestly, have you seen them?" Viridian said, huffing out a laugh and adjusting his metallic mask. "Like, ooo, my name's Angel, wowie, I'm sooo special." He added, adopting a very mocking tone as he imitated the hero. "And don't even get me started on the blummin' vigilantes-" The villain broke off with a startled shriek as Jimmy fired an arrow at him, and BDubs nodded approvingly. "You stupid son of a-"

Viridian cut himself off with another panicked sound as Jimmy launched another arrow. Good job, Jimmy! He's not normally bold enough to make the first attack, never mind follow it up with a second warning shot.

"What is your problem, man?" The villain whined. "I'm just doing my thing, and you discount heroes are just- bleh."

"Your thing is commuting various crimes, so..." Jimmy shrugged awkwardly. "Kinda have to stop you."

"He has a point." BDubs said with an amused huff. "Now are you gonna surrender- the easy way- or do we have to do things the hard way?" Viridian let out an irritated groan.

"Dude, it took me half an hour to tie all these hostages up-" The brunette gestured to the bank staff, who were tied up and looked like they were about to fall asleep (apart from one girl, a fox hybrid with curly ginger hair, who was watching excitedly). "I am not just gonna say 'oh okay then I'll go to jail'. Idiot." BDubs sighed.

"Your choice." They never choose the easy way. He glanced at Jimmy, gesturing carefully with his hand to the hostages in a gesture that he hoped indicated 'get them out of here'. His companion, nodding in what seemed to be an understanding manner, began to slowly move sideways as BDubs spoke louder in an attempt to distract Viridian, who's eyes narrowed as he huffed out a breath of what seemed to be somewhat toxic air based on the green tinge to the smoke that came out of his metal mask. "Do you just not brush your teeth or something?"

Viridian gasped in a somewhat offended manner as he began to walk towards the vigilante. "Excuse you, I brush my teeth plenty. My breath is just- my breath is fine! It's the mask! It makes green smoke for dramatic effect, Scarlet Reaper set it up for m- oh, never mind." He snapped. "Are you just gonna make fun of me or are you actually gonna fight?" The brown-eyed man added skeptically.

BDubs shrugged, grinning under his mask. "Oh, I don't know, making fun of you is pretty fun actually." He mused playfully, watching out of the corner of his eye as Jimmy, who had successfully made his way to the other side of the main room, leant down to untie one of the hostages, muttering reassurances under his breath. "I could carry on forever, honestly. You can make fun of me, if it makes you feel better." He offered.

"Uh- you're- shut up. Why do you even bother with this, man? You're not even good at fighting. Like, at least the heroes are fun to fight because they actually do their job and are trained to fight." Viridian huffed, reaching for the sword strapped to his back.

"Yeah, and despite all that supposed amazing fighting training," the snowy-haired man mused as he attempted to convey a somewhat sarcastic undertone, his gaze flicking momentarily to Jimmy as he guided some of the staff to what appeared to be the exit, "they suck at their jobs. So..." He raised both eyebrows skeptically as he reached for his own sword. "I'm confident I could beat both you or any of them in a fight."

Viridian scoffed. "Please. You wish you could beat me in a fight." He muttered, reaching for one of the potion bottles strapped to his belt. BDubs barely had time to stumble backwards as the potion bottle, which was filled with some sort of black smoke, was smashed against the ground.

Immediately he attempted to hold his breath, but after he few seconds he had to gasp for air and immediately felt incredibly dizzy as he inhaled a mouthful of the smoke. Ah, crap, that is not good. Well, it's- now or never- I guess-

BDubs lunged forwards with the sword, blinking rapidly as the smoke filled his vision. Is this just straight up regular smoke? Not even like- poison smoke? That's kinda boring. At least, I think it's regular smoke. Hope it is.

He swung the sword around uncertainly, and he let out a small triumphant noise as he felt the sword make contact with something and Viridian let out a somewhat pained shriek.

Taking advantage of the distraction, BDubs rushed past the villain, attempting to trip him up on the way past (based on the 'oof' that the brunette let out, he was successful) and running in the direction he thought Jimmy was in.

Making his way out of the smoke (which was starting to clear slightly), BDubs waved wildly at Jimmy, who was blocking the doorway (all the staff members had been freed and had run away) to make sure Viridian didn't chase anyone down. His roommate stared with mild alarm as BDubs stumbled closer and Jimmy shouted something incoherent as he finally reached his friend.

"I turned around for two minutes and you've been- you've been- chemically warfared!" Jimmy protested.

"I mean I wouldn't- say that, exactly-" BDubs huffed between breaths. "I just-" He glanced back at the door Jimmy was stood in front of. "I think that one, we should leave, and two, we should definitely train for fighting more?" The white-haired man straightened as he heard more voices.

"Oh- looks like a vigilante's been here- never mind, Viridian is- still here, hi dude, prepare to get a butt-kicking-" That was the voice of Angel, and a huff from Imp followed.

"I think they have it covered. We should leave." Jimmy whispered as Viridian got to his feet, muttering something about blumming idiots and glaring at the heroes who had just arrived.

"Uh... yeah. I agree."
