Sanduleak has his hands behind his head, relaxed in spite of the next mission, it was a win win for the pair. Titan got nasty gangs off the street, Sanduleak got less competition and stupid people to deal with, and working together meant they probably wouldn't have to deal with too many bullet wounds. Though there was a minor thing that had bugged the light manipulating super.
"You don't talk much do ya big guy? Usually a Bulwark would be talking my ear off bout how my ways are wrong and I could be better."
Sanduleak could count on one hand the number of sentences Titan had said in his presence and he wasn't going to lie it was a bit annoying to think that they're whole friendship was based around them believing to be each other on the same faction. Not annoying that it was built originally on a lie but that it had to be, sometimes he wondered how stupid the whole faction was. If you weren't stupid you were good in Sandu's books.

Titan trusted Sanduleak enough to turn his back on him. The guy didn't seem to hold a grudge against Bulwarks as a whole, he seemed to judge people by their own individual merits, which was a good attribute for someone to have. Plus, he did show himself to be pretty powerful, given the brief display against those thugs. Of course, he talked a lot, which may have been a problem. On the flip side, Sanduleak had a problem with Titan not talking that much. So they had mutual issues with the amount each other spoke. Good to know. Anyways, it wasn't that much of a game changing problem, so they could let it slide.
Thanks to the fact that they were walking together, even some of the harder individuals of the neighborhood were apprehensive, preferring to avoid trouble with two potentially dangerous supers. Word must have also got out of their beatdown on those thugs earlier. That meant their path was mostly unimpeded. Finally, they reached the presumed hideout of the Street Sharks. It was an old rundown block of the slums that they had turned into their own turf. There were armed men on the rooftops, and there was a wide open space that included what used to be a basketball court.
As Titan and Sanduleak approached, the men on the rooftops took aim. Titan turned to Sanduleak, expecting him to make the first move. Following that, Titan would bulk up to 10 feet and join the fight.

Sanduleak shrugged off the big guy's silence and continued along, not minding the silence. If the guy didn't wanna talk it was his choice, just curious to how different he was to the rest of the Bulwarks. He wasn't gonna complain about the guaranteed freedom of watching the occasional thug run out of their way, the peace was nice before the miniature battle they were about to get into. Speaking of which there they were. Oh looky they had those fancy toys...and Titan was giving him the first move, oh ho he was not gonna waste it. Raising an arm dramatically with a grin appearing on his face, he yelled out.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE'VE COME TO TAKE THOSE TOYS, JUST GIVE U-BANG TINK!"
His cheerful voice and grin disappeared for a second when the hexagonal wall that served as a barrier for the pair shined thanks to a bullet hitting and almost cracking it. Turning to Titan, he shrugged.
"Clearly negotiations with the cretins have failed, have fun."
Glaring at the punk who had a still smoking rifle in his hand, Sanduleak raised both arms to before releasing a bright flash that created a practical arsenal around him of shotguns, machine guns, pistols, and rifles. The wall of firearms quickly locked in.
"MY TURN DUMBASSES!"
With that declaration, each gun unloaded it's clip in a bit of chaos before Sanduleak ducked to the side and created a platform that allowed him to fly up and get a bird eyes view while focusing on creating barriers to stop their counter fire.

Titan had to admit that he was quite impressed. That light show during their altercation in the alleyway was clearly not the full extent of his abilities. Anything more than that against a bunch of thugs armed with hand weapons would have been overkill, but it was also understandable that a lot of supers preferred to hold back there powers most of the time, for various reason. Titan often had to hold back from using going at his full size, as he was going to demonstrate soon.
While Titan wasn't a big fan of guns, he noticed that Sandu's creations were hitting quite far off their mark, not actually hitting any of the targets. It was probably more for suppression and intimidation than through actual lethal use. Titan could admire that. But enough admiring, it was his turn. On cue, he bulked up to a good 10 feet. As Sandu handled the ranged support, Titan would get in close and dispatch the rest.
While Sandu created barriers around himself to protect from gunfire, Titan was more or less bulletproof. A pair of terrified gunmen screamed in fear before getting smacked away like ants. One tried to sneak up behind Titan, climb up and shoot him in the head point blank. The giant simply pulled the idiot off his shoulders and slammed him into the ground with one hand. They were armed with simple rifles, so their efforts were mostly useless. That is until some men came out, miniguns and RPGs in tow. Uh oh...

"OI THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE VIOLENT ONE!"
Sanduleak shouted over the gunfire at Titan with a chuckle as he watched him send a few mooks flying. He wasn't complaining this was great, he'd love showing off like this and the fact that he probably didn't have to worry about Bulwark interference was great. Though the pace quickly changed when he caught sight of the chain guns and rocket launchers. NOW THOSE WERE THE FANCY TOYS. With a loud chuckle he raised both hands.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN FOR MY NEXT TRICK...FUCK YOU ALAKAZAM!"
With the loud curse, there was a flash before the flying Sanduleak just disappeared from their view as a cube of light that displayed nothing in the sky surrounded him. It was an odd form of invisibility but it'd work as he flew down to get behind the heavy weapons brigade. He flashed once again, causing the light screens to turn into revolver colt pistols that flew to the back of their heads.
"Now gentlemen put down your toy-BANG-DAMMIT BIG GUY WATCH OUT!"
He was close to finishing his threat before one of the idiots decided to fire his rocket at Titan anyway making Sandu run up to slam his face into the dirt. Glancing up he attempted to flash a square shield for him but the rocket broke through the poorly constructed construct.

Sandu's frequent screaming caught Titan a bit off-guard. Sure, he had done it during their first meeting, but he never thought that it was a habit of his. If Titan didn't know any better, he would have thought Sandu was a little bit...nuts. He was willing to give the guy the benefit of a doubt, but there was still a need to keep on eye on this guy. Making sure he didn't go too crazy seemed like a necessity at this point. Thankfully, he wasn't going to murder anyone anytime soon. Well, he hoped that he wouldn't.
Titan was expecting a torrent of gunfire and explosives, but Sandu had it covered, as he summoned guns to stick up the heavily armed men. Unfortunately, one rocket went off, sending it straight towards Titan. While the shield that Sandu conjured shattered, it gave Titan enough time to prepare. He couldn't smack it anywhere he liked; there was a chance it could hit some poor sap. Instead, he smacked it upwards, resulting in the rocket exploding in mid-air. In thanks for the warning, Titan gave Sandu a familiar gesture; a thumbs up.

Sanduleak watched him smack the explosive upwards and couldn't help shaking his head, the hell was he worried about? With a chuckle he watched the giant shoot him the gesture and decided to give his voice a break by returning it back. With a snap of his fingers, the guns holding up the heavy armaments spun to slam their handles into their heads and knock them all out. This hero business wasn't half bad if he got to take out minions like this constantly. He turned around and noticed several men began to aim at him instead of the giant. Well he wanted to wait a bit before showing this but looks like they were causing him to show his hand as a sudden flash blinded them and surrounded him with ten Sanduleaks that ran around the field, each one flashing more guns into the area to sow more discord and chaos, it was a talent of his after all.

Once that whole rocket business was over with, it was good to see Sandu deal with the rest of the guys armed with heavy ordinance. The guy certainly knew how to take the initiative, which was useful considering that Titan didn't speak much, especially when in the middle of a fight. They weren't quite done yet, as there were still a lot of gunmen left. Sandu wasn't done either, and summoned an impressive display that involved conjuring up duplicates of himself, each on that seemed to operate autonomously. Just how did his powers work? No time to think about that, they had some baddies to take care of.
Leaping and climbing onto the rooftops, Titan was met by a hail of bullets, which simply bounced off his chest. He then pummeled through the now hopeless gunmen, who were more firing in a panicked frenzy than with any actual order. Eventually, all of the Street Sharks were dispatched. Titan jumped back down to ground, meeting with Sandu. Motioning towards the central building, Titan made his way towards it. Perhaps their leader was hiding somewhere.

Sanduleak was floating around the battlefield inside a cube of light, having used his clones as a distraction to create the little 'base' for himself as he stayed near Titan in case he needed any back up with any new heavy weapon guys. It appeared big guy could handle the bullets and soon they were through with the idiots. He couldn't help a chuckle as Titan gestured to one of his clones and he snapped his fingers causing both clones and his cube to become thin squares of light which fused to his cape to be used later.
"Haven't heard anythin' bout their leader being a super at least...but I take it I'm not allowed to just toss guns in there and shoot it up cause you don't want casualties."
He didn't even need an answer to his question, the rhetorical nature of it practically dripping off it before he headed for the door, a wall of light prepared in case they decided to shoot him up. Actually it was more when they decided, than if at that point.

With Sandu surely following him, Titan approached the main building. They had to be on guard, but with most of the heavily armed men down, the two could probably handle possible threats inside. It appeared that Sandu's suspicions were correct, as a shower of bullets tore apart the door. With Titan's natural durability and Sandu's shield, they did little more than make loud noises. They inevitably ran out of ammunition, the panicked gunmen frantically pulling their triggers, only to be answered by useless clicking. Titan slammed hard through the building's wall and into the line of thugs, scattering them. Grabbing a hold of one that looked like their leader, he tossed him outside.
As the presumed gang leader attempted to get up, Titan suddenly grabbed him by the head, and he was hoisted high up into the air. Before Titan even needed to ask, he started spilling his guts. It must have taken a lot of effort not to spill something else, "L-look, I dunno who's supplying us! The guy that comes around just takes the money and leaves! We don't discuss where he's from or anything!" As Titan lightly applied just a little bit of pressure, he yelped in fear, speaking in a higher pitch this time, "I'm being honest, man! J-just don't kill me!"
A little insulted by the idea that he would kill the guy, Titan unceremoniously dumped him back on the ground. Looks like they hit a dead end. What a disappointment.
