"It was supposed to," Zeus replied. While the crazy man was still dazed from his attack, he descended at a 135° angle to the ground, landing by the two still forms in the street. He put a hand on the neck of each to check for a pulse. Zeus shook his head grimly, feeling angry over the senselessness of it all. More power arced from all around, filling Zeus with raw power. He stood and turned towards the villain. "Come at me then," he said. "I have better things to do today than take out the garbage, but here we are..."He centered himself, waiting for the barbarian's inevitable charge as he glowed with golden light.

Zeus flew by the bodies that were on the ground to check their pulses.
"Dead" He thought to himself as he confirmed both bodies were now considered corpses.
"Just die you worm!" The man said getting up abruptly, swinging the lamp he took down and throwing it at Zeus. It was a poor throw, most likely due to the fact that his body was still recovering a bit, so Zeus was able to easily side step the lamp thrown at him.
"So you are a 'hero' then ah?! Then come on! Finish me then! You see those bodies! I kill because I like to!" The man said while on all fours, his body slowly recovering from being stunned. "It means nothing to me! Life.. I will keep on killing if I can! Give me the chance and I will kill you too, worm!" He said trying to get up.

Zeus hurtled a bolt of lightning at the maniac, determined now more than ever to stop him. The jagged projectile of static energy was mostly meant to give him an opening, but if it also degraded the man's defenses so much the better. With a snarl, Zeus leaped at his opponent, closing the distance with his fist cocked back. He was through with words. He offered none of the catchy comebacks he'd dreamed up during his days at the hero establishment (the thought was a distraction; he shook it off), letting a wave of righteous anger carry him into battle. He lead with a jumping punch to test the man's resilience and daze him if it was weak. He quickly shifted to his jiu jitsu forms, his moves fully offensive, seeking weak points and to use the villain's obvious strength against him. Zeus sensed that he had to make quick work of this threat or the tables might quickly turn against him...

Down and recovering from his previous stun, the man barked at Zeus. He was recovering but still had some time before he was going to get back up. Left unchecked, that timeframe would be be sooner than later. Zeus took no chances with that, so he quickly put some more volts through the man, keeping him down. The man took the energy and continued to have spasms. With no defense to the energy being put into him, Zeus found his electric ranged attacks to be very effective. However that wasn't going to be it, Zeus decided to go for close range and attack to put this man completely down, hopefully. With a jumping punch, Zeus landed a hit right onto the man's face. The man had no way to defend himself as he'd been stunned and stunned again. Zeus landed the punch, and it would hopefully put the man down for good. **************** A FLASH OF LIGHT **************** "I said put them down!" Zeus could hear someone screaming from a distance. He was in his city, outside of a convenience store in broad daylight. "So you're the one they sent then." Zeus turned to see a police officer coming from behind him. "Only one hostage in the building. Unfortunately that stops us from going in and taking the criminal down. Think you can come up with something?" The officer asked. "The front's completely covered by us, and the store has a rear exit. However the assailant is on high alert, so we're not taking the rear. So, we'll leave it to you, senior. We put our trust in the heroes, so go get him. If there's anything we can do to help, we're here to assist." The officer stated to Zeus. ========================= OOC: Just like last time, Zeus has been placed into a scenario. He does not recall the previous scenario he was in with the mid-leveled villain. Now, he's at a crime scene where someone is holding another person hostage in a store. The details pertaining to specifics are unknown, but all Zeus knows is that he's been sent here to settle the matter. If you need more info, ask myself of the police officer in character.

Zeus was momentarily disoriented. The officer was speaking – yes, he was here to help.
"What do we know about the criminal?" Zeus asked. He felt mild annoyance to have been called for something so trivial. Only one hostage? A convenience store? It was insulting, but he did he best to push the feeling aside so he could focus on getting back to...whatever it was he was doing before.

"Not much, really. His name is Carter Vasquez. Has a record on him for petty theft a few years ago. Nothing like this, though." He said turning to the store to face the situation. "He's got a pistol to the hostage's head, and refuses to come out. He knows we won't shoot if he has a hostage, and he's starting to make demands: All police officers handcuffs themselves, and a get away vehicle. He's not too bright to think we'd give him that. But we've been negotiating with him to stall for time, to allow a hero to assist. Now that you're here, we leave it to you." He said.
"Hey! I said stay back! One more step in here and this guy dies!" Zeus could hear the criminal yelling.

Zeus stroked his chin in thought, arms crossed. "It seems we do not have time for a better strategy," he said, giving his neck a good stretch and pop. Zeus's eyes flashed with golden light and the breakers in the store flipped off, plunging the interior into shadow. "I'll be back..."Leaving a trail of fading lightning behind him, the fledgling hero moved as quickly as he could into the convenience store, searching for a criminal to disarm and a victim to save.
