Needless to say the guards weren't intimidated by the spinning stick at all. And they did point their guns back at CJ and opened fire at him. They should be able to take care of this little problem quickly and quietly.
If not....the woman walking down the hallway always could....

When the smoke cleared, C.J. was gone! That was . . . until he tapped on one of the guys' shoulders. When he turned around, he saw him in a delivery boy outfit with a package.
"Gents, I'm sorry for causin' so much trouble. I'm just here t' give y'all a goin' away present. Here, open it." he offered.

The men just stood there and blinked back at him. They exchanged glances, then looked down at the package. They knew better than to open the thing, even if they had no idea what it was.
What they DID know now was that this was no ordinary intruder. And they certainly didn't deal with super powers.

C.J. smiled. "G'wan, open it. It's not gonna come out and bite you." he said . . . then paused. He went for the ribbon on top. "Here, I'll open it for ya!" he said, opening the box, first to himself, peeking.
"Nothin' harmless, fellas. Ya suuuuure ya don't want it? I mean, if ya don't want it, I'm sure Mr. Fisk would love to see it." he said, trying to tempt them.
"Superpowers? Whaddaya mean I got su- oh, right . . . I'm pretty much a cartoon character in a human body. That must mean to THEM I'm a superhero!"
Why doesn't anyone give ME the credit? I mean, I write his every move? But do I get the glory?! Nooooo. Sheesh!

Well, I know it's all you. ^_^
The guards looked at each other, then one of them looked back at the box and moved to look inside of it. If something happened to him, there were still three others that had guns aimed at the other man. Or unconscious woman lying a few feet away from them if they needed too.
And of course...Typhoid Mary was on her way to the room. SHE could take care of the both of them.

"Well that's good. smile Thanks!!"
And when C.J. more than willingly obliged to open the box for him . . . out came his fist from a hole in the bottom!
THWACK!!!
In the blur of the moment, he also went for the man's gun, moving the box off his hands.
He then stood at the four, the gun now in his hand. "Congrats, dumbass, you fell for something I stole from a Tex Avery Cartoon!" he said with a daring smirk, now moving over to the other side of the men. "NOW . . . drop the irons and up against the wall before I open fire!"

Though the guards were visibly nervous, none of them dropped their guns. Rather they aimed them at the man's head instead. "You have about three seconds to put that down." one of them growled. "You're going to have a lot more than just us down here any minute now."

C.J. just stood defiantly. "Y'all are brave in numbers. However, y'all kidnapped my girlfriend. So if ya wanna walk outta here with your lives, you'll let her go. Understand?" he asked. This was not the goofball that Misty knew, this was now about as (seemingly) badass as Arell and even Dundee the wimp.

A light feminine chuckle came from the doorway. A woman with curly brown hair that looked more like a lions mane stood leaning against the doorframe. Heavy metal shoulder pads that seemed impossible to wear covered her shoulders. A bright pink one-sleved jacket that was several sizes too big and looked like something out of a bad retro movie lay under the metal pads. Broken fishnet stockings and boots covered her legs, and a belt finished with long swords hung from her waist and what must have been a bathing suit she wore under the bright top.
The woman's face was divided with half of her face being painted ghost white while the other was untouched. And her bright brown eyes were staring at CJ with a wickedly amused gleam in them.
"Well baby...I must say you've brightened my day. And here I thought things were going to get rather boring. Looks like Typhoid's got herself a new little boy toy..." she purred.

"Well, I certainly wasn't expecting THIS . . ."
You THINK?! Now what do we do?!?
"Well, I'm just here to pick up Misty."
No s**t, but what about HER? She's not exactly one of the mooks you can just pop off with that little revolver of yours, cowboy. This is gonna take some strategy.
"Hey, wait a minute. If Misty wakes up and sees me put the charm on Malaria Michelle, she's gonna be PISSED!!"
First of all, that's TYPHOID MARY you yutz. Second of all, you two aren't technically together. She just knows you really, REALLY like her. Which was kinda obvious since you've nearly killed yourself about five or six times just for her! Just act your way through this and explain it to Misty once this is all through.
"You have GOT to be kidding me."
Nope, not kidding. You'd better get to it.
"If this doesn't work, I'm gonna climb that fourth wall and send my foot up your a**, writer."
C.J. looked a little shaky, but kept that gun trained on the three. Putting on the charm, he smiled, ever defiant in the face of danger.
"Well, well. I didn't think some hood that kidnapped people woulda hired someone beautiful such as yourself. Fancy a drink after this is all said and done?" he offered. Wait, you're offering a VILLAINESS a drink? What the hell, man?!
"Hey, I may as well be classy about this."
Anyways, he still kept the gun trained on those three mooks.

Typhoid grinned and adjusted her stance against the door frame. "Mmh...I don't know about that one. Fat man would be rather sore about anyone taking me out for a drink." she replied, then moved her hand to the hilt of her sword. "Besides...I'm not sure you're quite my type, sweetie."

C.J. smiled. "No offense taken." he said, slowly backing out of the line of fire from the three mooks with the guns . . . and the crazy-looking woman with the sword. "Now who on earth is 'Fat Man' anyhow, hon?" he asked, working his charm and hoping he could stay alive long enough to rescue Misty.
Well, this certainly has the opportunity to turn for the not-so-good right now.
"Writer, at this point, between being shot, being turned into a shish kebab, Batman beating the daylights out of me, and maybe facing a life sentence in prison thanks to the GCPD, I KNOW THIS ALREADY!!!!"

"My boss..." she replied, moving away from the door and into the room more. The door behind her closed by itself and locked. "The guy that owns the building that you just broke into, babe."

C.J. nodded. "Well y'see, fat boy and me . . . we got us a little problem, sugar, hence why I had t' run in heah like Jesse James." he said, spinning the gun.
"After all, the feller hired some'un t' kidnap someone very important in my life right now. I'm just takin' her where she's gonna be taken care of." he said, his voice, either in aggravation or shakiness, developing a nice little twang.

"Mmmh....unfortunately, that means we're going to have a little problem. I'm not getting paid to just let people go." she replied, drawing her sword. "I am getting a nice little pay day for keeping people in. So what's it gonna be, babe? You wanna try to drag you're little girl back out of the hole you came out of? Maybe try and take her out the window?"
