It is a common saying among soldiers, con artists, businessmen, surgeons, and touring musicians (and it would surprise you how much overlap those professions have) that no plan ever survives contact with the enemy. Nico clearly thought he was playing some tactical shooter, and broke Azulius's dreams of stealth into tiny pieces. Thankfully, Iris managed to slap some sense into people before generously ceding him control, and they kept going on towards the vault, but not before he secretly flashed something towards the new hostages, which made at least one of them breathe a sigh of relief.

As the team walked towards the vault, Azulius thought of how to pass Iris his ace in the hole. Calling in all of his favors and a third of his semester's gambling winnings, he had procured two fake "Vale PD - Organized Crime Division" badges registered to he and Iris, on the off chance they got caught alongside Satan's Legion. But how to get Iris's badge to her secretly? As he rounded the corner, an idea came to him.

Azzie held up his hand in the symbol for "stop and be quiet." Just ahead of them, thanks to his Illusionsist Semblance, a guard was patrolling, a big man with very broad shoulders. Azzie signed as well as he could that he would take this one down, and no one objected. So the magician charged towards the fake guard silently, knocking out the "brute" with Roaring Moxie's stock. He caught the "body", but it was far "heavier" than he expected, and Azulius began to "stagger".

"Magenta, give me a hand here!" he stage whispered, while using his Semblance to whisper "It's an illusion, help me so I can hand you something."
