There's a small gap in the rubble, enough for Guppy, Will and Atton to squeeze through. The house looks decidedly unstable though.

"If anyone asks, you heard from outside and came in to help." Guppy whispers to them.

Once they're through, he pushes the broken door back and goes outside, looking around for sources of help.

"Will, can you please run to the nearest house that will answer the door and ask them to phone the emergency services - tell them there has been an explosion with at least three casualties, possible need for the fire service and police escourt. You got that? Atton, you're coming back in with me, might need you to hold the ceiling up with Forcey stuff."

Hearing them say that makes Will reach for a sword that isn't there as he punches out one of the eyebrow gang members,

"Aye, me friend is goin' to save 'im an if ye're lucky someday when ye're 'urtin' 'e'll save ye too."

"People are throwing stones while pretending to be dramatic holofilm antiheroes," Atton says, mildly. "I'll be right back, 'kay?"

Atton heads out the door, moving over towards Will. A gang member, startled by his sudden appearance, makes a move towards him, and finds themself tossed onto their back by an invisible force.

The cavalry arrive; police and fire engines. The gang members retreat, but they're not far away.

"Hey, how many people are in the building?" the chief fireman asks Will.

"What the hell is a holofilm?" Rad asks Guppy, inside the house.

"He's foreign." Guppy says, ducking as a load of plaster dust showers down.

"Three o''em an there's already a doctor down there, Guppy Sandhu."

"There's also a dead guy," Atton chimes in.

"Thanks." The fireman goes into the building.

"Dr Sandhu? This building is unsound, come out and let the emergency services deal with this please."

"You're going to be okay." Guppy says to the two remaining casualties. He goes down the rubble towards the fireman, who he updates on the patients.

"We can take it from here, you get yourself home."

Guppy nods.

"This is my number, I'll give you a statement later if you need it."

He steps out of the house and goes up to Atton and Will, then when nobody else is looking, puts on the belt Atton gave him to be unnoticable.

"Okay, it's down the road on the right." he says, gripping onto both of their sleeves so they know where he is.

Will gives a glare to the eyebrow gang before moving to leave with Guppy,

"Glad they'll be safe."

"Yeah, s'good."

The eyebrow gang start to follow them.

"Thanks for your help guys." Guppy says. "If they see me, they might make me a target."

Will nods to Atton since he's worried about the men following them.

Atton nods back at Will and drops his pace, slightly, so that he hangs back behind Guppy and Will more and more.

"What is it?" Guppy asks, holding onto Will's sleeve.

The gang members circle Atton, like wolves.

"You made some enemies." one says.

"Trouble cause rare 'nough to na get any. Ye try an keep out o'it just cause ye 'ave to live 'ere, let us be the bastards."

Atton peers at the gang members, arching an eyebrow.

"You have me outnumbered. Please tell me you know of the Law of Conservation of Ninjutsu." Beat. "Or at the very least, recognise that I'm just better than you in every way."

"You're dead." one of the gang members says, and the whole lot advance on Atton.

They're just thugs; lots of muscle, not a lot of brains or technique.

"Don't kill anyone." Guppy yells to Atton, forgetting he's invisible.

"Sure we willna."

Will comes forward to help Atton with a grin.

Atton jumps, impossibly high, arcing backwards over the heads of some of the gang members.

When he lands, there's a blur of movement as he breaks three of their knees from behind, too fast to follow.

When he's being mobbed by gang members, Atton has no qualms about cheating.

Guppy invisibly facepalms and resists the urge to stay and give first aid.

As the other gang members are standing around, debating attacking Atton, Will adds in the fun by punching them so soon he's fighting too.

Atton heads over to a couple of others, exchanging blows with them before blasting them back into a set of bins with push of the Force.

Guppy sits on a park bench and composes a text message to Frogspawn.

'Coming home with boys, pls put kettle on. Hope Tweenies was fun. G xxx'

Then he gets up and gives a couple of gang members a kick or two while they can't see him.

Will's having a good time and they seem to be doing a good job of taking down the gang members.

Atton backs off a little. He'll let Will manage the rest of them.

One of the gang members, struggling to understand how he seems to be getting kicked from behind, swings his fist around at the empty air behind him. There is an 'Oof!' as the fist comes into contact with apparently empty air.

So Will rushes over and punches out that gang member as he looks over to where he think Guppy fell.
