-YOU LADY DON'T THINK OF EVEN MOVE A MUSCLE OR I BLOW YOUR BRAINS ONTO THE WALL YOU UNDERSTAND ?!

The robber threaten as he pointed his assault rifle towards the bank lady.I could sense that she was trying to press something under the table until the robber stopped her with his gun raising her hands,face pale and scared from her wits as were the other bank receptionists.

-che...

Hestia clicked her tongue seeing the robbers she moved her hand slightly to the left about to unleash hell on these guys,but i stopped her mid execution which she was confused about looking at me with her orange colored eyes,she still wore the white mask and which i was about to tell her to take it off when we were inside just to be interrupted by these guys.

-Don't,let me handle this your way of doing things are way too suspicious there are even spectators here

Hestia twitched for a moment hearing my whisper she grumbled a few illegible words a bit put off,but knowing very well that i was right making her retreat her hand watching the robbers with a hidden scorn in her look...she was annoyed that was for sure.

I looked back towards the robbers for a moment analyzing them a bit more to see what we were dealing with and this is what i got.The total amount of these guys were 10 and from the body features i could deduce that they were 6 guys and 4 woman,2 of them were guarding the entrance another 4 were guarding the main hall with the normal folk inside while the other 4 were stationed in different positions such as the back door and other blind spots...

They were all holding assault rifles 2 of them were holstering handguns while the others didn't seem to have any obvious extra weapons their faces were hidden behind black masks if i remember correctly they are also called ski masks..while i was thinking like this one of the robbers suddenly started approaching the normal folk,it was a woman from what i could tell...

-Ladies and gentlemen we all appreciate that you have come today,but lets have real talk here you stay quiet and i won't have to pull this trigger to have you stay quiet as long as we have this mutual understanding with each other than i assure you we won't have any problems....another thing to add don't play a hero that move only works in fiction movies so i like you to stay in reality if possible it is more healthier this way and you live longer so what do you say ?

Her words were calm and assuring the people around us the clients so to speak were already in turmoil on what to do and with the added threat for their lives they couldn't do anything since they feared their lives and wanted this to be over as fast as possible turning quiet and nervous.

Finished the female robber was about to leave her position as she took one last glance towards the crowd to be sure that everyone understood,but then her eyes suddenly met with my golden ones she kept on glancing at me for a few more seconds her eyes were a dark brown color and i could see a very sly glint in them as she started approaching us...me in particular...with a haughty demeanor on the walk...

-Hey you...

She said obviously talking to me,but i acted as if it wasn't the case...i had a really bad premonition about this so i tried to ignore her...which never really works.

-Hey i am talking to you handsome turn your head to me and let me see a bit more...

The people around us were a bit confused some gaping some making an awkward smile at this show,but one person in particular was furious...and that was of course hestia...she stood behind me wearing the white mask,but you could feel the heat she was causing around her making some of the people sweat profusely...hestia didn't like the way this woman had approached me and probably felt threatened by that openly staring at the woman with hate who in turn didn't even notice her because she was too preoccupied with looking at me with her dazed brown eyes...

-Franky what are you doing ?! we are robbing a bank for crying out loud !

One of the guys that were standing guard quickly came over warning the woman who he called "Franky" he had been listening to this from the very beginning and took the chance now to stop what was going on thankfully...or not.

The woman looked pretty annoyed getting reminded of that as she rolled her eyes and looked at the guy telling him with an annoyed tone.

-Bug off jason its not like anything urgent will occur it will take 20 minutes or so for the others to prepare the drill to open the safe we have hostages so the police won't be coming in any time soon having 3 people guard doesn't make any difference either so if anything goes wrong i want to have at least some amount of fun until that happens...

Hearing this the male robber "jason" was perplexed on what to say next he was more then anything shy or anxious so to say and quickly lost the ability to speak since he didn't have a counter argument...

-Jason let it be she is right it doesn't make any difference since we are going through this anyway the police will arrive in about 10 or 15 minutes 20 even if they still don't figure out what is going on...

Another woman who was sitting on a chair told him that she also took some glances towards me which lasted a few seconds,but in and out she seemed more focused with her heist then me which i was glad about.

-Nice...thanks alice now you handsome move let's go to a more secluded area...

The brown-eyed woman said holding her assault rifle towards me telling me to move,her lips were shaping onto a form of a smile through her mask...they had all really lost it don't they ? Well you need some kind of guts to be able to pull this off so i can't really argue that she is doing something like this in the middle of a heist,but still it is ridiculous and by the way hestia who was standing behind me was already reaching her limits clenching her fist her intent was also turning very deadly she really wanted to just burn the woman into ashes...

I wanted to sigh,but stopped myself and instead used my telepathy to tell hestia that she has to stay low i had a decently thought out plan and that plan involved her getting what she wanted which calmed her significantly.

Turning back towards the brown-eyed woman i watched as she pointed the muzzle of the gun towards me her eyes showing her lewdness for what she was expecting to get...not.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

With a single will of my thought i activated my ability and stopped the flow of time altogether sound and vibration stopped on the spot as i felt no movement around me everything going blank...this kind of sensation was almost suffocating sometimes because it made you think that you are blind,but not really since you could see,but not feel.

This kind of thought always burst out of my mind every time i use this ability it didn't scare me or make me perplexed,but it did remind me of things that i never thought before,it sort of like a wake up call,but anyways back to the present standing here all day thinking is not productive at all.

Thinking like this i focused onto the robbers thinking of how to deal with this i could simply knock them all out if i wanted to,but that would look way out of place so instead i thought of something else which was a bit comical in my mind...lets make them into idiots shall we ?

With that thought i started moving around the place finding each robber and tinkering with them for a bit the time this took was only 20 minutes probably and it was a fun thing to do thinking about the result in general.

Finishing up i returned towards my original position hands raised i stared at the gun muzzle with a stupid grin on my face starting time once again.

-Hey do you have cotton in your ears ? i told you to move...

The woman demanded seeing me not move one inch from my position a bit agitated,but instead i used my telepathy giving hestia my orders.

-Its your turn remember don't get carried away...

-Who do you think i am ?

Hestia returned with a sly tone as she stepped forward beside me and grabbing onto the muzzle of the gun and quickly pushing it forward onto the woman hitting her with the butt of the rifle heavily the blow was strong and quickly put her on her knees holding her chest in pain,the other robbers also saw the spectacle alarmed by it as they reflexively pointed their guns at hestia shouting.

-Franky are you alright ?! Hey you what are you doing didn't you understand that playing hero isn't going to help ? drop the weapon lady...why are you even wearing a mask ?!

The robber was slightly side tracked because of hestia bizarre appearance,but that didn't stop her she didn't even listen as she continued her rampage...and with that said hestia quickly kicked the pained woman on the ground to the face knocking her out completely she didn't stop and threw the assault rifles towards the robber who was still dazed by the display in front of him getting caught in surprise as the assault rifle hit him to the face making him crumble to the ground because of the impact and pain it caused him....any normal person would have probably used the gun as a machine then a throwing weapon...

-Damn it you bitch who do you think you are !

The woman who was sitting on the chair roared as she stood up and pointed her gun towards hestia so was the forth guy and like this both of them pulled the trigger to open fire,but the thing was they didn't have any bullets i took them out already...i thought almost wanting to laugh out loud.

(Click)

The sound of clicking could be heard as the empty rifles showed their true worth in this kind of situation,it took a few seconds for both of them to realize that their guns were empty which hestia effectively used to close up on them getting to the woman first and doing a roundhouse kick launching her a couple meters away with a instant knockout.

-Fuck...

The male robber exclaimed he already knew that he didn't have any bullets he didn't bother to check his pockets for more bullets since it would take too much time to reload it instead what he did was raising his rifle and use it as a blunt weapon charging towards hestia with it...dumb move.

Hestia's movements were swift and fluid she held back a lot in this fight because i told her to do so she wouldn't accidentally kill someone,even without her flames she could give you a very mean sucker punch as her supernatural strength wasn't just for show.

Back to the present the male robber was already close enough in range to swing the rifle in his hand,but before he was even able to do that hestia already closed in on him with normal speed,but just enough to surprise him catching him off guard as she gave him a left hook to the chin which caused blood to splutter from his mouth...for a moment i felt that hestia had gone too far,but then i realized that wasn't actually a strong punch it was just that the robber had bitten his own tongue because of the hook...

-What are you standing for move already !

Hestia roared she finished up pretty quickly telling the people to get out of the bank...the other 6 robbers were actually busy with the bank safe making it unknown when they were going to come back and check making this the best moment to escape.

-she is right lets go !

-run for it !

The people around me quickly snapped out of their shocked state they were amazed by hestia's incredible show of strength and fighting,but cared little about it running for their lives...i could also hear sirens far away...the police were on the way ending this act once and for all...it was fun as long as it lasted,but still i had one problem...

-I didn't get my cash...

I sighed...since this happened i couldn't expect this bank to keep working for at least 2 days or so giving me no other choice,but to leave for now,with that done both me and hestia quickly ran towards the exit with a light jog hestia seemed proud of herself humming a cheerful tone leaving the bank very last and on the walk,i could hear the sound of sirens becoming much more louder then before,i could also see blue and red lights shining outside indication that the police already made its way here which was quick actually.

Stepping outside i was a bit irritated by the light and a bit astound by the amount of police cars,waving my hand i wanted to say that everything was alright,but when the policemen saw us step outside everyone single one of them pointed their guns towards hestia for some reason...

-Drop your weapon missy and raise your hands release the hostage immediately if you do so we can talk about this...

Oh not again...
