He pulls out some bills and drop them on the table, sparing a glance at the car with the bagel eater and the woman that looks vaguely familiar.
Once they get his mom or dad out, he plans on teleporting next to them and forming a high gravity donut around them to prevent bullets or intrusion, then grabbing his parent and teleporting away to the top of the restaurant.

The man and lady in the car get up and walk his way.

Shit! They must have telepaths!
He looks over to the far side of the square, opposite of where he is now and wills himself to teleport there. Ben plans to work his way around to the car and drive away. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | OP Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 | He concentrates, and starts to feel the buildup for a teleport, then it suddenly ... stops. The man walking next to the lady is looking at him.
“Ben, right?”
Says the woman.

He looks over at them, raising an eyebrow.
"Sorry guys, I gave already to my local church." he said, turning on his heel and moving away. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | OP Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 | And she runs .. straight through a pillar and several intervening cars. Literally through them, until she was in front of him.
"You aren't leaving."
He thought he could PROBABLY bowl her over. She's not a very large woman ... | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 173,462 Likes: 7 Babylon 5 Rules Administrator | | Babylon 5 Rules Administrator Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 173,462 Likes: 7 | Ben
"Unless you plan on abducting a minor, get the hell out of my way lady." he said, jinking around her to continue on his way.
Something messed with his teleport so it was likely that his gravity powers wouldn't work as well. He moved his hand to the side pocket on his backpack and unzipped it, reaching inside. There was more than one way to get away.

“The proper word is ‘detain’. That is when it’s a legal restraint.”
He hears a clattering as his backpack seems to empty without ever being opened.
“Look. You have a choice here. If we detain you, it will go much better than if the others after you do.”
She holds up a radio.

"Detaining me means you have to catch me in the act of a crime or have a legal warrant. Do you have either of those? No, I don't think so." he said, backing away from her. "I have done nothing wrong so you have no legal ground to detain me." | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | OP Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 | “Unfortunately in this case, you failed to account for subsection 21a of the expanded law regarding metahumans. It sucks that it’s there, but it is.”
She says quietly.

"I know that you think that you are just doing your job but until I do something wrong I refuse to acknowledge your unconstitutional subsection." he said and made a break right at full speed. If he can get far enough away from them he should be able to use his abilities and get the heck out of here!

A rather squirrelly looking man is leaning against a car, with a mask and a green cloak, holding up one hand.

He rebounds off of the unseen wall, falling flat on his butt and cracking his head on the sidewalk.
Ben groans and lifts a hand to his head, vision blurring for a moment from the knock on the skull.
"Not cool." | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | OP Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 | Quickly, two things happen. The first is that a bracelet is snapped around his wrist. The second is that he feels a hand on his head and soothing coolness washing over as his vision clears.
Mariel
She speaks quietly.
“I’m sorry Ben. I really am. I’ve been there. I got better. Eventually.”
She sighs. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 173,462 Likes: 7 Babylon 5 Rules Administrator | | Babylon 5 Rules Administrator Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 173,462 Likes: 7 | Ben
By the time that the ringing in his head stops he is cuffed but at least his head feels better.
"What kind of government arrests children for the accident of their birth. I believe that I am owed a phone call? Our attorneys are in need of a very large settlement." he said, resting his elbows on his bent knees as he sits on the sidewalk. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | OP Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 | Mariel is kneeling down next to him, hands on her knees.

That too. There are a few problems. Many of the expensive lawyers have also been arrested. Unfortunately connections to organized crime are still illegal. The second problem is just how much of that money is actually yours and how much was taken from others. I think it’s quite likely accounts are being frozen. Look. I know bluster is a useful thing.

He looks the older woman in the eyes, trying to keep his bravado in place. Father always told him that you never showed fear or doubt when facing an opponent, in business or in life.
"You aren't dealing with a psychopath like Nyx or something now. All legal precautions were taken. Funds in accounts outside of your juresdiction. Prepaid legal fees to firms that are pristine in view of the law. Now, do I get my phone call or do you reveal that this is all an illegal arrest? Either way, we might as well take this to the police station." | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 173,462 Likes: 7 Babylon 5 Rules Administrator | | Babylon 5 Rules Administrator Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 173,462 Likes: 7 | OOC: Let me know if any news media is there | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | OP Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 | “Yes, you can have a call. But I have a feeling that you are going to find out much more about your father - and mother - than you ever wanted to know. I don’t envy you.”
She pauses.
“Your education was quite good, but it seems you have neglected certain areas of law. Once we are in the car, you can have your phone. I suspect you aren’t going to like what they have to tell you. I have documents for you that you can send them on exactly what is going on. I will send them to you.”
She pauses.

He got to his feet and looked around for a moment.
"You might want to have someone clean up the things from the backpack before some kid gets hold of one of the flash bangs and hurts themselves." he said, ignoring her so-called words of wisdom.

She give him a tilted look.
“You are in for quite the education. Hopefully it will not be too painful.”
She motions with one arm.

"Pain is not an unknown friend." he said, following the older woman. His eyes continued to look around for the others. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | OP Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 | “ain’t that the truth, kiddo.”
She shrugs.
“Ain’t that just a damn truth.” | | |
