Re: Manning Enterprises
As everyone deals with the aftermath of the battle, a quartet of police vans come through the gate. While they approach, Shrew looks at her compatriots and murmurs "bunch o' creampuffs".
Detective Broyko is the first person from the first van, almost before it stops. He's very happy, and before anyone says anything he starts shouting at his men, "GET THE RESTRAINTS ON THOSE GUYS, AND SOMEONE TAKE FIST APART."
As the uniforms rush to comply with his orders while the swat team covers the bad guys, and Shrew giggles, Broyko approaches the heroes, "you're a bunch of lifesavers, that's what it is. These guys woulda mowed through us like a combine in a wheat field. Last time the swat guys ran into Mercury, over there, he took out their van and gassed 'em before they could lock and load. He didn't even shoot any of 'em, like they weren't worth his time."
The detective shakes his head, like he needed to get it clear because he had something important to mention. "While we were waiting here, Dr. Patrovich has been secretly brought to the precinct. After he heard about you guys and this crime wave, he said we better put you on payroll and get you to him ASAP. It sounds like one of those crises where we cops get to keep the crowds away while you supers do most of the work."
"We'll keep these hoods in our special holding cells, you can interrogate them there, if you like. So, will you come and see Patrovich or do I need to find new best friends?"
The detectives attitude makes it clear that when he called you lifesavers, it was meant literally.
