There's a sudden sound of decompression and from one moment to the next Manikin's finger has embedded itself in Will's forehead, a thin wire trailing back to his hand. It's uncomfortable, but Will's been through worse. Then there's a slowly building pulling sensation but the wire connecting finger and hand is still slack somehow. Still the feeling persists and, if anything, gets stronger and it's too late that Will realizes it's less of a pull and more suction, clay being pulled in by the armored digit and forced through the hollow wire by an immense pressure differential on the other end.
"Nghhh....no!" Will shouted, stretching out her arms and grabbing on to anything in the alley she can use to anchor himself. "S...stop it! You can't
do that!"

Sam hisses in pain and loses her grip on Reach.
"Should never... give up your weapon," she gets out through clenched teeth before her freed hand grips his wrist below the knife.
She gives a sudden yank and tries to drive the knife into his cheek.

Will's prison-hands close around Char as she's letting out an omni-directional blast, catching the bars midshift and bending them outwards as they change into steel, but she's too exhausted to make enough of a dent to fully break them open before they settle down into rigid bars.

If Manikin reacts in any way to Will's screams it doesn't show as the vacuum slowly but inevitably pulls Will in. For a brief moment she seems to hold on, arms stretching but holding. At that Manikin holds up his other hand and curls his index finger inward a couple of times as Will's grip slips and is rapidly sucked up entirely. After an initial sensation of being stretched thin and squeezed through a seemingly endless narrow tube she finds some room to expand again, although not much and she pretty much takes up the entirety of the space available. It is pitch-black and despite fumbling for it in the dark the aperture through which Will was funneled has disappeared. Sealed off in some way.

Reach snarls as Sam, instead of falling back all the way makes a grab for his wrist. Erratic and shallow cuts fly out from the knife as it wavers back and forth in the air before the actual blade bites into his cheek. He stumbles away from Sam and side-kicks as soon as he has his footing. He's not even remotely close enough for it to connect, but after just the fraction of a second the force hits Sam anyway and drives her to the edge of the roof. A follow-up punch hits her shoulder and sends her careening off the roof.

Sam tumbles down into the alleyway, slamming against the wall on the opposite side before landing on the pavement below.
She doesn't seem to be moving much.

They didn't stop at rigid bars, either -- they continued to close in until they were a perfect solid steel sphere, trapping Char inside.
Will rapidly shook his hands up and down a bit, too, to bounce Char around inside the steel sphere. "Gotcha, ya little firebug. You're
mine, now."

There's no response from Char beyond a series of explosions that are progressively getting weaker before stopping altogether.
Neither Manikin nor Reach show themselves, although the later's voice echos through the street. "Enjoy your little prize, as I am sure Manikin will with his. And tell your cowardly friends that they have 24 hours to decide they want to face us themselves after all. If not I will tell Void to start demolishing the city building by building until they do. Toodles!"

"Yes, because WE'RE the cowards, running away from this fight right now OH WAIT.
I'll get you ALL! Just you wait and SEE!" Will bellowed through the streets.
Spotting Sam lying on the concrete, Will grew a third hand to pick her up and sling her over his shoulder. "You're all going to be ground into mincemeat, you hear? MINCE. MEAT." he shouted, trudging back towards campus.
