The trap was set. Contingencies laid. Apex was nothing if not thorough in his planning. Which was why none of the masked "heroes" had ever been able to put him behind bars. Too many in this city, hero and villain alike, valued theatricality over practicality. A useful tool, but not one that should be the focus of everything, especially when it got in the way. Tonight though, he wanted to be flashy.
He raised a fist in a signal to his "minions," high dollar professional mercenaries wearing masks similar to his own--though there was no mistaking one for the other--as opposed to the usual mindless thugs and gangsters the city's villains used. And worth every penny if things went well, perhaps even if they didn't. The door to the business building exploded and his team rushed in. Sirens sounded in the distance but a few well placed road blocks, tire killers, and "accidents" would ensure them a minimum of twenty minutes. Besides, this building housed several law firms, not money or diamonds or weapons or the thousands of other things most villains went after. But she'd still be there.
Apex smiled behind his mask and stood outside the doorway in the open. Bait, but bait she wouldn't be able to resist. His heavy body armor gave his muscular build a deceptively bulky appearance, but everything he wore, he wore with a purpose. This armor was judged too expensive for military use, despite it's near impenetrability and assisted hydraulics system that gave his punches extra force. Just to be safe though, his gloves were armed with taser-knuckle sister combination weapons. Not that he usually had call to use them when he carried an AK-47. His mask gave him the countenance of a large predator cat, and let him see in multiple spectrums and communicate with his team.
Communication was something else most villains overlooked in terms of value, but it allowed Apex to warn his hidden snipers and the rest if his team about the oncoming heat signature over the rooftops. She was right on time.
