THUNDER
He was growing tired of always hearing these little reports from this so called fish king. So he decided that it was time somebody do something about it, and so took a T.V. station hostage, threatening to destroy it with multiple blasts of lightning if they didn't cooperate. Smiling as he moved to stand before one of the Camera's, and telling them to make sure they broadcast this on every channel in New York City that they can, he waits for them to say he's on.
"Ah, citizens of New York. You've all been hearing these reports from the sorry and pathetic Fish King, telling you of all these failures that have happened. But has he made any move to help keep such failures from happening other than his reports, and words? No. And why would that be? Because he's nothing more than an underwater chicken. He's scared that if he were to try something himself, he would lose even worse than New Yorks own finest has lost. Why should you listen to the simple words of a Fish Man that's unwilling to take action, unwilling to try and help the people he rants on about himself, rather than trying to convince you that they are worthless and should be replaced? I say that you shouldn't. Not unless he's willing to quit letting his hide show only as being Yellow and actually get off his pathetic lazy scared ass and take true action, for no true person is going to listen to someone that scared." He then claps his hands together, causing a thunderclap that cracks the video screens and camera's in the station before he makes his way back out again, smiling softly. He didn't care if there were police outside or not, he had done what he wanted, and now he would just wait and see what would happen.

Llyron
An eagle like dive and and he landed in front of the man, the impact making small cracks in the concrete.
"Well, a new villiain in town. I hear your concerns, sir. As always, the Redeemers are ready to stand against any menace to the public and to the free press. I simply and repeatedly urge the american government to do likewise ... defending the populace and freedom of this country which I respect and cherish nearly as much as my own Atlantis. Do not be misguided by the tirades of mentally ill terrorists. Nor the rants of some immatural media hacker. If you need help, or this city or country need help, I am here for you. But violence will NOT be tolerated, and I ask you to stand down before I'm forced to PUT you down."

THUNDER
He just stands there, watching the reporters that were swarming around him, but not saying a word. He was waiting to see if Llyron would respond to this or not, though he did not expect what happened. His hands moved as if they were about to clap together, which causes the reporters to all quickly back away, because of what had happened to the camera's inside when he had done that, but he stops himself as he hears the words, lowering his hands again and chuckling rather softly.
"Ah, the Fish King has decided to show his face. Good, I was wondering if I would get the chance to meet you in person. You say that you are ready to stand against any menace to the public and the free press, yet you allow those that are a menace to them to run free without moving to intercept them. Interesting. If you had not noticed from my announcement, I was simply trying to tell them that there are those that will do what they can to help, rather than just giving reports and rants about how such and such group failed to stop the terrorists they were fighting, but would attempt to step in and help in whatever ways they can."
He then looks slowly around the area again, lifting his hands just slightly, as he would much rather speak with the man without all these eyes and ears.
"Perhaps we can go someplace with more privacy than this to speak?"

Llyron
He frowned.
"I have fought against the clique and other villains at every opportunity. When other hero groups move to intercept such forces, we are always available. However, when they do so without INFORMING us of their actions, how are we expected to aid or join them? Next time you want to attract the attention of the media, I suggest you do so without forcibly overtaking a television station. The american media is one of the best in the world, and would have been willing to listen to what you had to say."
He considered and nodded.
"We should indeed move this interaction off the public streets where innocents could be harmed, if you are willing."
He took out and tossed the man a teleport jack-tag. Just press the button.
"That will bring you to neutral open ground in upstate New York. You have my word it is not a capture tag. I will be there a moment later, just myself, along with a police officer and media person to bear witness."

THUNDER
He nods a bit and chuckles rather softly. He didn't care if he went to jail for what he did, he had done what he wanted to do, nothing more. He had gotten the attention of the media, and of Llyron himself. Pressing the button, he let it take him to wherever it would, and then moved over and took a seat, on the ground if there were no chairs, to wait patiently for Llyron to arrive with the officer and media person. He'd seen the reports that had been given by Llyron, but had seen no evidence that Llyron had sent anything to help them in case it happened again.

Llyron
He appeared a minute later, with a reporter ... complete with satelite feed camera, and a police officer in tow. They were slightly disoriented by the teleporation, but recovered quickly.
Llyron came over to the man, pleased to note his nonagressive pose.
"Now, you will have to face what you've done. Forcibly taking control of a television station is highly illegal. Though perhaps the station might drop charges if the damage were paid for, and you gave them an exclusive. What I'm concerned with is what you said about my not helping such groups as Code Blue. We are always available to aid them should they call on us. And even though the US government has equipment superior to ours to equip these fine people with, we are willing to donate gear or money to this group for such purposes. You must realize, however, that channels must be gone through. It is highly illegal just to hand officers of the law large sums of cash and advanced weaponry or armor, without the consent of their superiors. It's a little thing called bribery and weapons trafficking. We need to be asked, or at least have our offers accepted by the proper persons. Which apparently they do not deign to do. They appear to be paragons of indecision and bureaucracy, whereas we in the redeemers are straightforward and cards on the table types."
He leaned against his trident, nonagressively.
"Now, what do you want to do about your actions? If you want, you can turn yourself in and I can try to help you. I'm always there for anyone whose heart is in the right place."

He didn't even realize that they were there, having closed his eyes while waiting. He also didn't hear anything of what Llyron said, instead just letting himself drift in the void that he was basically in right now. Shortly after Llyron had finished speaking he opens his eyes to see if he has arrived or not and starts slightly, before shaking his head and sighing rather softly. He should have expected them sooner and kept his eyes open, but obviously he hadn't thought of it. He had been in a secluded location, away from others, and had decided to slip into the void he can create for himself by closing his eyes, so that he wouldn't see anything as well as hear nothing.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here already, nor do I know how long you have been here. If you said anything when you got here, I apologize again, for I did not hear it. The only reason I knew what you were saying before we came here is because I was reading your lips. I was born partially deaf, and when I first started causing the thunderclaps by clapping my hands, it wound up destroying the rest of my hearing on me."

Llyron
He nodded ...
"I don't mind repeating what I said. About what you said about me and my people. We are always available to aid them should they call on us. And even though the US government has equipment superior to ours to equip these fine people with, we are willing to donate gear or money to this group for such purposes. You must realize, however, that channels must be gone through. It is highly illegal just to hand officers of the law large sums of cash and advanced weaponry or armor, without the consent of their superiors. It's a little thing called bribery and weapons trafficking. We need to be asked, or at least have our offers accepted by the proper persons."
He smiled and offered his hand
"As to your own actions, you endangered people with your stunt today ... though I may be able to help you iron things out. You're an adult, and need to realize actions have consequences. If you want, you can turn yourself in and I can try to help you. I'm always there for anyone whose heart is in the right place."

THUNDER
He watches Llyron as he speaks, reading his lips once again, and smiling at the last bit of words, about him basically saying he needed to accept responsibility for his actions, and then he chuckled rather softly. "Oh, I was ready to let the officers take me in for what I did. And when you only speak of the bad things that have happened, it makes it seem like you have not done anything to help people like the members of Code Blue. If I had the money to pay for the equipment that was damaged, which I was not trying to do, then I would gladly do so."
He reaches up and takes the offered hand, if only for a moment, before letting go again and looking over at the officer, watching him a moment before he holds out both of his hands with the wrists close together, then looking at Llyron again. "I'm also not one to turn down help when it is offered, so I am willing to take you up on the offer, though I don't see how I would be able to repay you though."

Llyron
He nodded, and shook the man's hand. Then oversaw as the police officer hand cuffed him to take into custody.
"You're doing the right thing. It's not always the easiest path, but it's the best."
He looked to the camera.
"And to the members and families of teams such as Code Blue. We admire your hard work, dedication, and sacrifice in the cause of justice. If your leaders fail to give you the support you need, there are always other options open. Try to get your powers that be to get you decent gear, or allow us to give it to you. If not, perhaps going the route of SHIELD and seeking UN sanction and support might be in order. Again, our thanks and admiration for your efforts."
He turned back and waited with Thunder for police units to arrive to take him in.

He nods a bit to Llyrons words to him, knowing that he was doing so. He then watches as Llyron turns to the camera, not able to read his lips this time around. He knew that most likely he was addressing the public in a way to counter what he had said before, and then turned his attention to the Officer again, his hands closed together gently after being cuffed, and the fingers laced with each other, so that they wouldn't think he was going to make any move to cause the thunderclap or anything, so for now he just waited patiently for the police to arrive and take him into custody in full.
