Gerard's POV

Erica lunged at Ray as Frank tackled Bob to the ground. Holding them with their super strength wasn't gonna be easy for too long. They'd both begun to try and shoot electricity and acid crystals at us.

"LISTEN UP!" I called out to the people down there. "I want all you people to leave this area. As soon as the acid crystal melts anyone around the area will be dead. I want you to get as far away from here as you can. The police will be responsible for ensuring that everyone is safe and that the buildings around the area are evacuated. And to the fire fighters; put on your gear and get your hoses ready. I want that crystal blasted to the ground," I called out. A stampede of people began running away from the building.

"STOP! STOP!" I called out. I didn't want people trampling one another. "Walk so that no one is trampled!" I instructed. Immediately everyone began to walk. It felt so weird to have so much power. People were listening to me.

"Fucking stop with the electricity!" Erica exclaimed before shooting ice out of her hands, freezing The Executioner's arms and legs to the ground and stopping the electricity from spurting out at her.

"Hey sweetheart. Who're you?" Bob/Dr. Krustallos asked.

"I am Hot Girl. And I'm not very nice," she said, taking him by surprise and freezing his arms and legs. Frank and her got up from the ground and Erica huddled us all together.

"If Frank punches through the crystal and both of you evacuate the building, I can help the fire fighters to decompose the crystal. Dr. Krustallos and The Executioner should be grounded for about 5 minutes before the ice starts to melt. Got it?" she said.

"Got it," Frank and I said at the same time.

"Oh, and make sure that you take the Mayor to somewhere safe," she instructed us.

The three of us got to work on our various tasks. I flew Frank around the building where he punched a hole in the window of the Mayor's office. The Mayor and a bunch of other personnel were huddled under his desk and under other objects in the office.

"Come on, get down to the bottom foyer. Grab everyone off this level and get them to go down there too," Frank called out to them. I knew he hated the Mayor for treating us like objects. Which was true. We hadn't been treated well, but we were both mature enough to get on with things and to save people's lives.

We went down the fire stairs to each level, passing on the word to evacuate each floor. Once we got down to the bottom floor, we noticed one huge problem. The acid crystal was beginning to melt.

"Oh my god. What do we do?" I asked, looking at Frank.

"Everyone stand out of the way of the door. I have a plan," he said, walking over to a decorative statue in the middle of the foyer. He picked the statue up and charged at the door with the crystal. He threw the statue through the glass doors, creating a large shattering sound, glass flying everywhere. The statue also managed to break through the crystal, creating a hole big enough for everyone to get through while disintegrating the marble masterpiece. We had an escape route. There was just one problem. The acid was dripping down at the top of the hole. If everyone was to walk through it, they'd die. We were screwed.

Acid + Skin = Very Very Bad
