Paladin Am I more than you bargained for yet? | "Are you fucking kidding me?"
Paladin hadn't even broken a sweat on the way up the stairs, and as a result she wasn't even out of breath. It didn't take her long, it was only one flight, and the door at the top wasn't locked, which begged the question why the basement door had been locked, but at least saved her on the insurance claim. Companies seemed to claim for anything and everything these days, even a few bucks for a new lock.
It took her less than two minutes to return to the vault. In that time the young meta had not escaped, on the other hand something almost as bad had happened. Clearly something had gone down in her absence, and that something had led to the other Hero choking the meta out on the vault floor. She slid to a halt, not even bothering to use her power, clearly there was going to be no need for her power here. Paladin knew better than to interrupt what was already ongoing. It might have resulted in actual damage,
On the other hand, clearly Dragonfly had not kept him calm. The situation had clearly been escalated further. Paladin was well known for taking down tough criminals, there were several highly rated videos of her arresting various different supervillains. That said, the first thing she tried to do was talk down anyone she might have to shortly beat the shit out of. It rarely worked, but sometimes it did.
She stood in the doorway until the guy stopped moving. She had faith that at least the other Hero wouldn't kill the guy. Dragonfly seemed to have her flaws, but she wouldn't go so far as to do that. Paladin shook her head, looking at the unconscious wannabe villain. "You know that wasn't necessary?"

Aoi exerted little to no effort as the strength left the young metahuman, holes ceased appearing in the walls of the safe. ”Language, Paladin.” She scolded as his body went limp. She uncoupled herself from her hold, his limbs falling to the floor, and stood above him. He was breathing steadily. If not for the awkward position his body was in, he would’ve looked quite peaceful. Bruises would certainly show on the areas she had put pressure on - particularly around the neck - but other than that, she’d caused no harm. ”He showed a willingness to harm others and contains a potentially lethal force in his palms, it was absolutely necessary.” Aoi responded. ”I warned him of the consequences of his actions were he to retaliate. He did not cooperate. He aimed his palm at me, which I believe is how he directs his powers, so I took the appropriate course of action and neutralized the threat.” She spoke plainly, professionally, giving a report of the events that occurred without opinion, emotion, or embellishment. ”I caused no more or less damage to the perpetrator than was necessary. My actions were reasonable and justified.”Aoi picked up his body with ease, slinging him over her shoulder, not harshly, but not exactly gently either. “He needs to be transported to containment before he regains consciousness. Since I am the one that neutralized him, I believe it is my duty to turn him in and give the report. If you would like to accompany me and give your own report, you may, though I would suggest you continue the patrol without me and give your report once you have completed the route.” Aoi started walking out of the safe. ”I would also request that you do damage control here. I would assist, but it’s imperative that I contain the perpetrator before he regains consciousness to reduce further risk of damage.” She walked out of the bank and took off into the air, holding on to the unconscious body of the young man, heading straight towards a place where they could contain him.

Paladin Am I more than you bargained for yet? | Despite having just reduced a metahuman to unconsciousness, Aoi still found time to scold Paladin like a small child that had said a naughty word. The powerful Hero was near speechless. There really was no getting through to this woman. Her justification of her actions was annoyingly correct as well. Technically, Aoi had done everything right. She had given the boy clear instructions and warned him of the consequences. The fact that the way she had done it had probably scared the shit out of the poor kid didn't seem to matter to her.
Maybe if she'd been less confrontational then things wouldn't have happened the way that they did. A report might reflect that she had done the right thing, but Paladin might well be submitting her own notes on that report to clarify the exact situation. She kept silent though, now was not the time for an argument. It took some effort of will not to snap in response to the suggestion given by the taller Hero.
Tight-lipped, Paladin simply nodded, following as the winged Hero carried the unconscious young man out of the bank before standing and watching her fly off. The kid would likely have ended up with some sort of record regardless but having to be subdued by a Hero meant there was a good chance he would be sentenced to prison. Not that it made things any better. How did you imprison someone who could open a hole in the wall at will?
Shaking her head free of the thoughts of the last few minutes Paladin started back onto her patrol route, grateful to be doing it alone this time. She high-fived a young boy whose mouth was hanging open. He looked like he was seriously considering never washing his hand again. She gave him a grin over her shoulder as she strode away, but her heart wasn't in it…
