"I don't have to do anything but hide? Works for me." He said running off.

"...Well... glad you were so easy to convince", Saeko said as she went further inside the plant, searching for the criminal behind this whole mess. PA 8 in SI plus 6 from Cybernetic Senses to search for the Controller.

You locate him inside the office with two other people, and old spindly looking man, and a middle aged fitter man.

"Surrender, Controller. We've been over this already... you know how this ends", Iron Maiden said as she drew her sword. "You can't win against me, might as well surrender already and call it a day", she said, holding her blade towards him. 7 in Social Skills (Intimidate) to invite the Controller to give up and surrender.

"Oh I think not." Controller says. "I have my slaves in position to trigger a full blown meltdown. Unless you want the blood of this entire city on your hands, you had best surrender to me."
"Smithers, release the hounds." The old man says.
"Yes sir." The other man says as he presses a button and eight dogs come running into the room, swarming you.

"I... knew you were a nutjob, but I never imagined you'd be THAT crazy", Seako said, mostly ignoring the dogs, trusting her force field to keep them at bay. "You'd seriously just go ahead and kill thousands, no damns given? Not mentioning that at this range, you'll die as well for sure. Your suit's tough, but not nearly that tough. Are you honestly claiming you're willing to kill yourself along with everyone else in this town just to avoid going to jail?", she argued, mostly to keep him talking while she had her suit check to see if she was able to prevent the possible meltdown from where she stood. 9 in Social Skills to try and reason with him that this is simply madness, and that it's far too extreme considering the situation.

PA 8 in S.I, plus 6 from Cybernetic Senses, to try and scan the nuclear plant, searching for a means to prevent its meltdown from there should the Controller prove beyond the reach of reason.

You check, and if worst comes to worst, you could probably rip out the reactor core, and fly it into space before it goes critical.
The dogs lash out each grabbing a section of your armor with their teeth, as Controller begins to shake. "Maybe I can't, but I can still use these people as hostages by sending them into the reactor unprotected one at a time." He says. "It might take slower than a meltdown, but you'll still have blood on your hands for failing them!" He taunted.

Saeko frowned, troubled. On one hand, the worse was basically avoided... she had a way to deal with the worst case scenario, but this situation was pretty bad still, especially seeing how she had failed to disable the Controller's discs.
She folded her arms.
"That would still make you a murderous psycho. How about you stop making threats and start making sense? What do you even want? ...What are you after? All you asked so far is for me to surrender to you. Why? What would that do for you?" she asked, wondering if the man could be convinced with reasonable arguments depending on what he was after. 9 in Social Skills to ask about what he has to gain from this in order to find some way to try and convince him to give up without a fight, since a fight would mean endangering the hostages.

(No they did not. Forget that part.)
"My whole life, I have been treated like a joke, an afterthought. People will take me seriously now or they will die!" He yelled punching your forcefield sending you staggering backwards.

"Khh!" she let out, recoiling from the impact, before stabilizing her stance. "...Are you kidding?" she said, smirking behind her helmet.
"...Come on, you're smarter than this. You've been treated like a joke your whole life? Is this seriously how you think people see you? ...Geez, buddy, open your eyes for a second. Look at me. What do you see?" she said. "...Do you know who I am? Have you forgotten? ...Well, sure, I went through a... couple of changes, you could say, but not too long ago, I was Tony Stark. One of the smartest people on this entire planet. Iron Man... one of the greatest heroes on Earth, one of the founders of the Avengers, which itself is one of the greatest superheroes teams on the planet. Who, may I ask, has the world had to send to stop you over and over again?"
She pointed at herself. "...Me. They sent me to deal with you. You seriously think that they would send me to deal with a joke? With an afterthought? You really think they'd send me to deal with some two-cents loser villain who doesn't matter, some loser which can be taken out by some E-Ranker hero? ...Heck, S.H.I.E.L.D called on me specifically again this time. If you were just a joke, you think friggin' S.H.I.E.L.D would waste even a phone call on you? Let alone a phone call to me?"
She shook her head. "People have always taken you seriously. They know you're a threat to public safety. The fact you've been defeated each time is not because you're some wimp or another, it's because you've been facing a hero strong enough to stop you. There's a difference. Also, people are not treating you like a joke, they're treating you like a criminal. That, you are. If you were to use your intellect and genius for good, you'd be incredible. It's your own decisions that are making your life suck so bad", she pointed out. "Imagine all the good you could do if you tried using your abilities for peace and justice instead?" 9 in Social Skills to use a different approach; namely to make him realize that people are already taking him seriously and that taking those insane steps to make something that already happened happen makes no sense, in the hope of making him surrender on his own if he realizes he was wrong on this.

Controller pauses seemingly deep in thought. "I suppose you have a point." He said. "Very well... I will not trigger a meltdown." He said simply. "But I will use my army to take over this world and destroy you!" He said. "Hear me my slaves! Converge on my location, and devour this woman with sheer numbers!"

"Well, it was worth a shot, I guess", Saeko said, shrugging, before she fired a powerful Uni-Beam at the Controller's face! 12 (Ef.) into Ranged Combat (Uni-Beam, Precise shots, Handling recoil) plus 2 from Targeting, plus 9 (Ef.) in Uni-Beam, into a 22 stones (2x damage, AP, Normal and Stun damage, Area attack) to blast the Controller; 1 in control to try not to aim only at him and not hurt Smithers or Burns.

You fire, but Smither's tackles you throwing off your aim just enough for him to dodge, as more employees come and begin to grab hold of you.

"Tch! ...Well, I hate to use violence against mind-controlled people, but looks like I have little choice", Saeko let out, as she drew her sword, activating the blunt/Stunblade mode of the weapon, making it a non-lethal, highly effective stunning weapon rather than a lethal sword. "Out of my way!" PA 15 (Ef.) in Close Combat (Fighting multiple opponents) plus 7 from Kogane no Taiyo, split into four attacks of 6/6/5/5 (Stunblade 9 (If active, it negates damage, instead acting as this action's AN VS Dur to stun for 1 panel per stone of damage)) to stun four people between me and the Controller so I can try to get to him next panel.

You zap and stun some of the employees leaving your arm free.
