Why don't you give me a sign?
I need a last one
When I'm awake, I'm a walking disaster
Fire up my heart and let it burn

Rain poured on the sinners as they worked on completing their mission objective. They were one of several teams assigned to sabotaging a gambling ring that dealt in more than just luck. Given the responsibility of cutting power, the five of them had worked alongside the team above to enter the casino without alarms being raised. The unconscious bodies of the few gangsters unlucky enough to get in their path had lined the hallways which led from the power room to the entrance outside. "Adriana only asked for the job to be done, Tide. She never mentioned anything about collateral." Tick tick tick. With every button press, the chemical warfare specialist, Sulfur, was well aware of just how much danger they were in. The bomb he placed had enough power to level a small building. However, he would be damned if the mission failed because the explosion wasn't big or distracting enough. With walls like these, thankfully, the explosion would only be contained within the floor, allowing his equipment to function well within mission parameters. "Relax. You and Null make sure you do your job and handle the guards and I'll take care of what I'm good at and handle the explosives." Using duct tape to attach the explosive device to where the building was connected to the local power grid, his job was done. "Fifteen minutes. Unless you want to make this floor your grave, it's time we leave."
[You hear that, Forgery?] Hidden in a parking garage outside was a van that held various displays of the building's blueprints. In front of all of the monitors sat the team's hacker, Forgery. Taking a sip of his iced coffee, he typed a message over to the other team before responding back. [Read you loud and clear, Sulfur. I've made sure the team above knows that the power will be cut in fifteen.] Alt-tabbing over to another window, he brought up the floorplan of the basement they were currently infiltrating. Dots had appeared where each member was located. [There looks to be another stairwell that leads to a maintenance tunnel on the floor your on. You could take it to get outside.] His eyes were kept busy, watching through the various screens which dictated mission information from team member wellbeing over to the cameras of the floor. Though, before Sulfur was able to move, flashlights had shined down the hall, greeting the man dressed from head to toe in standard grade SSU black armor. [Shit. Null got caught. Sulfur, lock the door to the room. Tide, assist Null with taking out the guards. We'll be damned if they make us fail the mission. I'm not going back to prison.]
[On it.] Tide gave Sulfur a nod before bursting his way down the hallway. As he ran, he bit his thumb, drawing blood for him to summon a rifle forged in his own solution in his arms. Should the fight end up lethal, he was ready to commit murder. Nothing was going to get in his way. Right now, their forgiveness was on the line. If not for the SSU, he doubted any of them would have remained alive. All taken from prison, sentenced to death, these sinners were given a choice between a second chance at life by choosing to serve an organization that was hell bent on peace at all costs, even if it led to acts of state-mandated crimes on a scale like this one... Or death. By choosing the former, they were deployed on missions where other, more legally aligned squads would deem deadly to attempt. However, he wasn't going to complain. At least, by working for them, some good would come out of his expertise in hurting others. At least, when he died, he would be able to greet his sister in the afterlife with some level of dignity left. [Null, where the fuck-]

Punches as explosive as lightning.
"I'm here."

Massive impacts that shook the very world around him had called Tide to Null's location. While fighting through fists and kicks was not his particular forte, his strength had granted him the power to do away with the guards without much danger. "It would've made it easier if Adriana allowed us to use ordinary weapons, but I suppose its unnecessary for dealing with hostiles like these." Wiping the blood off his fists, he stared for a moment at the bodies before seeing their chests heave. They were breathing. "Fifteen minutes? That should give us enough time to move these bodies out of harm's way." Giving one a kick on the shoulder to see if they would respond, he eventually picked them up and heaved them over his shoulder. "Can you help me? I'd rather avoid making Forgery angry if I could help it." The blue haired rifleman sighed in relief, unsummoning his rifle. "Yeah, yeah. Just... Don't go off on your own next time and worry me like that." Lifting another body, he joined the armored man's side, moving quickly to keep within the time constraint.
As they brought the bodies outside, Aether inspected them for injuries, holding a cig in his mouth while Sulfur tied their arms together. "Well, the good news is, they aren't dead. Bad news is, they won't be speaking to police when they wake up." Upon closer inspection, he found broken ribs, bruised lungs, and broken jaws. "Why's that?" In between restraining each guard, the gas masked man looted their unconscious bodies for wallets and cell phones for Forgery to sift through later. "How about you take a look at them? Tell me what you see." Sulfur stared at them for a moment, scratching his chin while the other two kept dragging more bodies for them to restrain. "Bruised jaws? I mean, it'll hurt for them to speak, but I don't think-" The fallen angel facepalmed, shaking his head. "Broken. Our friend here decided to punch their jaws down their throats. At this rate, she's going to force them to type up their testimonies."
Once the bodies were moved, Forgery left the van with his phone in hand, taking a look at the timer. "Looks like there's less than half a minute left. If you guys want to take a look." The hacker gestured his hands towards the massive casino building in front of them. "The power to that skyscraper's going out in five... four... three... two..." Before reaching one, the ground shook. Instantly, the lights that once shined from the casino's massive neon sign had gone out. Curiosity and frustration had appeared on the faces of customers and staff who left the building, inspecting what may have occurred from the outside. Due to the potency of the bomb, in one fell swoop, Sulfur had managed to take out both the building's connection to the power grid and its backup generators should an emergency happen. With no technology getting within the infiltration team's way, their main objective was accomplished.

"Beautiful sight, isn't it?" Sulfur stood proudly, enjoying the view.
"Now its up to them to finish their job."

These dreams don't last, love
I see your ghost, need to get to you faster
And each night is a lesson I didn't learn
A lesson I didn't learn
