Boogie paid the boy absolutely no mind, as he continued to inhale. He watched as Tommy rearranged himself, limbs wrapping around him like a snake. Boogie turned his away, and naturally, Tommy chose to try and palm his head to make sure it wouldn't go too far. It was a bit too late though. For Boogie, just looking at someone meant he could kill them. And that was his entire goal here... His chest wouldn't give. In fact, there was a fair amount of resistance as he held his breath. Boogie was resistant, even more so than when he got hit the first time. Super sinuses also meant his body's muscles were forever and always oxygen-rich. While not massively strong, he was incredibly close to peak human conditioning. Hold his breath and being squeezed that tight create a load he had to fight against. And as he final gave in, he'd use both his own strength and Tommy's strength to his advantage. A large hardened projectile would not only shoot from his mouth but cause a hearty gust as Tommy's literally squeezed air out of him harder than he could ever spit a projectile. A crash could be heard, and all that was left of the chemist was his lower half, and a gaping hole existing where the rest of him used to be.
With a wheezing cackle that was losing air, he- "Sakusen kanryō" (Mission Complete) There was a crunch heard as Tommy's squeeze garnered some success against Boogie's durable body. Spitting up some blood, he'd go limp and let himself be handcuffed if that's what needed to be done. Sirens could be heard whining in the background and pulling in close. Presumably, the other member had gotten away with the likelihood of never waiting for Boogie in the first place. All that mattered was his mission, and he'd completed it. Technically, getting caught by the very kid he was told to get rid of was a thing... but he'd be going to jail. He didn't have to worry about the boss slitting his throat. The aftermath could be figured out later. Boogie was content, closing his eyes and letting himself fall unconscious due to the loss of oxygen.
Breaking into the warehouse were police troopers toting guns and shields. Dog's barked and snarled as the pointed at the hero grappling the villain. "Oh, looks like someone's already gotten the culprit. We got reports of loud crashing noises and suspicious men. Anyone else in here?" They could recognize Tommy as both a UA student and a member of Gigabite's group. A lead agent would allow his underlings to pin Boogie down and cuff him for Tommy.

Tommy squeezed, harder and harder, attempting to stop the man's movements, but with a sudden burst of wind, as well as a sound of something sickening Tommy felt the man speak before his ribs broke. It was only then that Tommy realized something, as his left hand left with that chemist suddenly felt wet and warm.... More so than it had prior. What's more, he felt his hand let go of in an odd way. Releasing the man, Tommy looked over...... And saw red.
When the door burst open, Tommy was already attempting to reassemble himself, as he tried to crawl over to the remains, "Call an ambulance!" he tried to choke out, his stomach lurching as he tried to keep calm. He honestly couldn't. He had made a promise, yet he had not only failed, but likely had even helped in the issue..... He should have tried to run, use the fire extinguisher, threw boxes, or just held out..... Instead he had gotten so focused on beating the villain unconscious that he had disregarded one of his first lessons. Evacuate Civilians first.
The rest would be a blur as Tommy tried to report what he could. He was part of KHH, and had only intervened when he thought someone's life was at risk. He had collected his hand that he had left with the man..... "I have a SD card I use to review my movements and activities.... Training purposes.... The card should be fine...... Should we wait until someone from KHH comes or.....?". He asked. There was the likelihood that he was equally responsible. That would mean that he could even go to jail himself, if not be blacklisted for hero work. Then again, this was someone unlike anyone else he had faced. The sheer tenacity of the man had been.... Monsterous. Even Tommy wasn't sure if any of the pro heroes would have faired any better.
But those were excuses. He knew that it was his own actions that had resulted in this man's death.... As well as two girls now without a father..... "The victim.... He said he had two daughters. Nia and Natsumi. I.... ". He felt his voice catch as his vision blurred. He had failed...... He was an honest wreck at this point..... Maybe if he had been stronger? Faster? What did he do wrong? He felt like he was suffocating in his helmet, as he finally unclasped it, revealing his rounded face and bright pink hair. His eyes were red from trying to keep himself under control, along with a pale look to his skin.

OOC: Was asked to stage set, so here I am... stage setting lol _____________________________________________________IC:
"I think you should stay tight right here, bud. " The officer replied. He felt bad for the kid, but there was work to be done. With his hand he'd direct traffic, but paused at the mention of a victim. "Units we have 1 person KIA, get forensics ready!" Bodies rushed passed both the lead officer and Piecekeeper to salvage what they could of the body. Caution tapes lined the scene, and so did professionals looking for answers. From the flashed of cameras snapping shots of evidence, to the poor victim being placed in a bodybag, to almost every inch of the place being dusted with fingerprints. "Let's go fellas. Since he's a super, the prison unit will handle the suspect"Among the police, a red-haired giant walked. It was Redstone, a KHH member who worked directly with the Tartarus Prison system and police forces. The familiar face made him stop in his tracks. This pink-haired boy was one of the high school interns... and his expression... Jeez. He remembered his own first big letdown and searched for the words. A large hand would gently pat Tommy on his head, and it would be followed by deep earthy rumble of a voice. "Bare it in your heart to understand what happened but don't let this consume you. I trust that you meant to do right. " He couldn't stay to chat. In fact, in just two steps he was already leaning down before slinging Boogie's unconscious body over his shoulder. Body taking the villain to a stretcher, he'd stop to speak to Tommy one more time. "Gigabite is already on his way. He'll be speaking with you about your mission today." He'd huff, placing the villain onto the stretcher and following his coworkers to the van. They'd get the man patched up, then take him to a holding facility for processing. -Fade to Black-
With some time, the hustle and bustle of the crime scene would die down. Many officers still remained, many had left. As it stood, Tommy would have to face the music with his agency leader Gigabite. |

It would not take long for Giga Bite to arrive.
The leader of the Koriban House of Hope was impossible to miss no matter where he went. It was the same here. The Beetle Hero's looming presence dominated the alleyway, as did the eye-catching red necktie dangling from Giga Bite's massive larynx. Though the police officers offered him their due, he did not return the favor. His beady eyes were fixed on the boy he was here for. Tommy Neil.
Giga Bite clicked his lesser mandibles twice. In the quietude following the departure of the crime scene, the mild noise clapped like thunder. He walked over to the boy, wherever he was, his eyes never once leaving him. When Giga Bite came to a stop in front of him, his antenna twitched sharply. Giga Bite looked down at Tommy, betraying nothing in his body language. His tone was even, though appropriately stern.
"Tell me what happened."

Tommy sat there, holding his busted up helmet. The device was basically useless against someone like that..... To be honest, Tommy had listened to Redstone, but he still felt sick to his stomach. He was barely holding himself together when he heard Giga Bite's voice. Tommy looked up, and then suddenly felt dizzy. His eyes were red, his face a bit green now, but he held his stomach a bit longer.....
"I... It.... He....." Tommy began, trying to find a spot to begin telling what he needed to. Before he finally said what he dreaded....
"I think I got someone killed....."
It struck him like a bullet to the chest... even though he had never taken a bullet before. Instead, Tommy suddenly felt he couldn't hold his tears back. They flowed as he looked back down, staining the inside of his busted helmet with liquid regret. "I was on patrol... usual things, helping others, keeping an eye out for criminal activity... routine stuff.... I got confronted by Yakuza.... A The man that was arrested with the green hair, and broken ribs.... I tried to stop him, but I had never seen anything-" Tommy stopped himself. "Sorry... I.... I skipped a bit... That guy threatened me, so I pulled back to make it seem like I was retreating. I went roofside out of sight and reported the activity... I know I was suppose to wait for backup, but I figured trying to collect evidence on the activity would help.... They.... They were collecting a debt I think. Some kind of red colored powder that was suppose to be a drug of some kind. The man..." Tommy glanced over to where the body had been, before finally he couldn't stand it anymore, as he felt his stomach finally give in. Tommy's cheeks bulged as he tried to find a place to spew the bile filling his mouth without contaminating the crime scene.
