It was absolute chaos, but you know what?
They deserved it.
Adam charged into one of the stores with the anti-trans flag up in the front door, actively banning trans people from ordering a stupid fucking coffee, and Jacob lit a match with him. "I love you," They chorused tenderly as they dropped the matches on the napkins and kissed passionately while the blaze began to spread.
The smoke pushed them out eventually but Jacob shouldered over the vending machine on his way out. "I've missed having rampages, now I've got a good fucking reason to!" He bellowed to a few cheers.
Next Jacob found a cop car and chuckled maniacally. "Think we can tip it?"
Adam grinned. "PIG ROAST!" He cried as they both got ahold of the bottom of it. They glowed and more people came to join until with an outcry of strength they tipped it over and glass exploded with the force.
Jacob grabbed Adam's bleeding hand and kissed it. "You're revved up today. You just yelled."
Adam bared his muscles in a silly way and howled so he did too. "It'll bite me in the ass later, but god I missed yelling!"
Down the street, Steven actively fought against the police. They had rubber bullets, tear gas, and flash bombs but he had limitless disgust for them, which only made him even more powerful than they could ever hope to be. When someone cried out in pain or agony he was there instantly to heal it better. His ears were sharp and could pick up distress over the chaos, and he was faster than light. He'd let himself get hit with a tear gas can in place of the trans teen girl that had cowered in fear. It cut into him hard, he was absolutely shocked as his side started to gush blood. What if this had hit a human? It would have killed them! It tapered out fast but he pulled out his shield in fury.
He had prepared for this moment, and today he was pretty sure he'd handed out 60 shields to help protect people.
He summoned one and handed it to her. "Be careful, use this if you need it okay?"
She nodded. "Thank you!" Just as fast as it had happened she was speeding down the street to her friends again. They found their way into a shop next to where he could see Jacob and Adam coming out of.
He super speeded and checked them for injuries. "Stay close!"
Adam beamed for a split second, eyes bright and livid. "I'll see what I can do. I need to start more fires."
He ran off and Steven had to go after him because he was headed straight for a cop cornering another person. Steven got there just in time to toss Adam behind him and tackle the cop himself. He disarmed and bubbled him, then sent him rolling down the street. The pig was in riot gear for a peaceful protest that turned violent only when they started shooting. He'd be fine probably.
Hazel caught up to him with a big cut under his eye. It was swollen really badly. "I'm still not used to seeing you as a twink!"
Steven grinned. "I still have my brown eyes. Heads up!"
They ducked another can of tear gas and veered into the chick-fil-a already being torn apart. They wanted a piece too, plus kissing in a destroyed chick-fil-a as two proud queer men just felt right. Steven healed Hazels injury and then kissed where it was anyways. "Can you see better?"
He nodded and brushed his hands through his hair to pull him closer. "My Cheat Code Chad~," He cooed seductively to Steven's laughter.
Steven had to shapeshift to look completely different, it was imperative he didn't get his species kicked off the planet with this debatable behavior. They'd known about the peaceful protest and were planning on staying peaceful to begin with. Steven had shifted in an alleyway. He'd shrunken down to be 6'4, grown curly blonde hair that ended up in an adorable fro reminiscent of his childhood years, and thinned out so he wasn't such an easy target. He wasn't planning on being a target to begin with but when they'd come and Adam and Anna were aggressively prevented from coming inside with them for food, Steven snapped a little bit. It pissed him off enough to change his form, and Jacob warned over and over again the tension was too high and the protest would end up a riot.

He was right, and also leading the arsonists to a crushing victory because the kid loved fire as an eternal flame. Adam was just there to cool him off at intervals, his patience was incarnate today.
Together, Steven and Hazel tore appliances out of the walls, they tore apart the booths and bigger things others were struggling to break. They kept hearing Big Brothers being thrown around, and it made them smile.
They'd left the girls at the hotel with strict instructions not to come, but then Steven swore to god he heard a battle cry outside he'd know from anywhere and a voice to go with it, "Just let people be happy, for fucks sake!"
He growled and pulled Hazel to go in pursuit of it, and sure enough found Connie, Jasmin, Anna and more surprisingly Alex in what Steven could only call combat outfits. Each one was a skin tight body suit with thick rubber over their most important parts. Connie wasn't wielding a sword this time, none of them were. They had S.W.A.T team shields spray painted with the communist logo.
It was adorable, but both were livid.
"Connie, I swear to every star in the sky if that's you—," She turned and lowered her shield a little.
His heart stopped. She had cuts all over her face, she was actively bleeding from one and her eyes were bloodshot. Her hair was wild and coming out of her high ponytail, it blew with the wind and Steven fell in love with the image of his wife as a warrior activist.
"Steven?" He crossed his arms and Anna winced. "We can explain," She cried in protest. "Also you look like a twink! They're trampling people!"
Hazel frowned at her and noted the blood in her hair. "Little girl you came out here because they were killing people?! If you think I'm mad, just wait until Adam finds out!"
She blushed through her paleness but put one determined foot forward. "These are my people and I should be allowed to fight too."
Steven fought the urge to poke out a lip and cradle her, she sounded just like Connie.
Jasmin gasped and then screamed, "Oh my god, someone got shot!" She tore off to them and pulled them onto her lap. "Hey, you're gonna be okay."
They slurred something and smiled, clearing their throat. "They got my thigh, I think this is it. I got hit with a flashbang and I can barely see."
She laughed. "Not if I have anything to say about it. Steven!"
He appeared beside her in a few seconds and leaned down to place a kiss to the persons forehead. "Sorry, it's the only way I can heal you fast. You'll be good to go now."
They sat up and looked after him with starry eyes. "Is that God?"
Jasmin nodded and grabbed her shield from Alex again. "Yep. See ya."
"We have to find Jacob!" Alex yelled. "If they're shooting people, we've gotta get everyone out of here!"
"Don't you care?!" Jasmin argued in fury. "They're killing people!"
Alex burst into tears but nodded. "At least let's do it as a team! Please, we can't lose any of them, Jasmin!"
She simpered and pulled him into a valiant hug as a loud explosion went off. "Okay. We'll do it together." She raised her voice above the chaos to gather the rest nearby. "Is there like, a battle formation we can do to find Adam and Jacob?"
Steven nodded thoughtfully. "Yeah, but you girls need to give—," He stopped. That wasn't right, then they'd have a smaller shield and if one of them got hit he'd lose it.
He looked to Connie, who nodded curtly. "Just trust us, Steven!"
"Girls and Alex in front with their shields! We move at an even 4/4 beat, think Slow Dancing In The Dark!" Jasmin looked downcast for a moment but nodded determinedly. "Jazzy on my right, Anna on my left, Connie front and center! Hazel and Alex will flank me!"
