Kon punched the one Haruto had frozen to the ground, causing the ice (and possibly his ankle bones) to shatter as he fell. All of their efforts meant the guards were now down. They really hadn't stood a chance, considering who they were up against. When the last Stormtrooper fell, Kon went over and started moving the body of the Smart Guard.
"Now we just have to shove them in the alley or something and see if we can take advantage of the gap it'll -"
Smart Guard's radio crackled.
"Benison, your team's late for your call-in. What's your status? Over."
"Great, they probably have regular check-ins a few times an hour." Kon fumbled for the radio, thumped his chest slightly with his fist and cleared his throat.
"This is Benison," he said in a near perfect imitation of Smart Guard's voice. Had he thought to mask his voice earlier, apparently it wouldn't have been a problem to do it. At all. "Sorry for the delay. Heard a noise in an alley but it was just a stray. Everything's clear here. Over."
He let go of the broadcast button so it was muted on their end, looking over at the others, knowing that the fact he could pretty much steal someone else's voice was probably pretty freaky. He hadn't even shown that new trick off to Cass or Nightwing yet.
"Before anyone says anything, I know it's freaky. Apparently Kryptonians can do weird things with their vocal chords with precise muscle control."
It was something Kal probably could do, too, and likely just hadn't thought to try. But the Project had pushed Kon to the absolute limit in terms of figuring out his abilities and getting him to develop them.
The radio crackled again. "You know procedure. For a late call-in, give us your squad's call sign."
Kon cursed.
"Welp," he said to Nightwing. "We're boned. If we call up the door we can go back to the Pole, but if we try to open it again to come back it'll just open right here where we left it."
Which meant the Stormtroopers might still be around later, especially since they couldn't stay away that long before trying again to find the shard.
"Benison, I repeat, state your call sign."
"Or we can make a run for it and see if we can slip past them and hide somewhere. Your call, fearless leader."
