[b] The Lab [/b] 

The two men fell to the ground, groaning in pain until Santana turned his hand on them. Suddenly the men screamed as their bodies turned a sickly green, their skin becoming hairless and ruddy, green liquid that sizzled the ground as it leaked from their mouths and noses. The men gurgled and rose before diving at Sixgun, shooting two streams of the sickly green fluid at him. Meanwhile Santana had managed to eliminate half of the assorted mooks, Witchfinder, Fontana, and the survivors pouring on the fire. Beads of sweat began to rain down his forehead as his decay field stopped the bullets. La Sombra was nowhere to be seen.

The henchmen and every hostage in their vicinity were thrown to the ground and groaned and the floor, some of them managing to level their weapons and keep firing on the angel. Ghost's immaterial form was completely unaffected by the angelic fist and the villain smirked as his ghostly hand passed through Zaphkiel's arm sending a wave of shocking agony up his arm. He kept the hand there as his other hand travelled closer and closer to Zaphkiel's chest. Stalker snarled as her knives had no effect on the angel. She reached into her belt and drew two more. These were different, pure iron blades. Iron was the bane of the Fae and many supernatural creatures including those of Heaven. As such she lifted them in her hands and flung them at Zaphkiel's stomach. 

Downstairs the room was chaos. Ocean Warrior had managed to deal with the henchmen close at hand. The ones who flew through the portal collected themselves and seeing the new heroes all gripped weapons, several firing guns at Break Neck. Locust forgot about Shifter entirely and dove at Ocean Warrior in a hissing mass of insectoid muscle and fury. Permafrost turned her back on Killshade, who was slowly but surely wearing away at the ice. The ice villain instead refroze the doorway and began firing ice blasts at where she had seen Shifter last. 

Villa was about to shoot Killshade before Pariah burst into the room and leveled his pistol at her. Villa dodged to the side right before he fired and dove behind a table. The hero and villain began an intense shootout, Villa's reflexes and accuracy an equal match for Pariah's skill and experience neither of them managing to hit the other as they ducked and fired. Bishop grunted and pitched forward dropping Sheila to the ground but not falling. He snarled and backhanded Rift Hound across the room and over a table before he began stalking over to him, footsteps cracking the floor.

[b] Prison [/b] 

Apogee nodded and smiled before rounding the corner and speeding up. She flew up near the ceiling before slamming down, cracking the floor and knocking the men back before she punched one in the chest, embedding him in the wall as a a kick did the same to another henchman. The men began pouring on the fire and the rounds bounced off of her skin as she stood her ground and was quite a distraction for the men. 

Inside the infirmary the fire still raged, though one small section had been extinguished by Killjoy, saving the lives of most of the inmates and staffers closest to the ring of fire. The fire had been difficult to extinguish however and an inmate and staffer both succumbed to the flames, their life force drained out and began orbiting the robed woman. The woman snarled and struggled with the snake around her neck as Light leaped at her from behind. Her hands touched the magical construct and within a few moments it was still and dead. The woman was rocked to the floor by Light's attack, though her protective barrier of life force shed most of the attack's force. She flipped around and fired a black beam at the spot right above Light's stomach hole. 

Hot Rod managed to land several solid hits on the woman, rocking her back before they passed right through her. The woman was no longer covered by flame but was pure fire. The human-shaped conflagration swirled around Hot Rod and enveloped him in a fiery cocoon, the flames not burning Hot Rod but the overwhelming heat working to dry out the hero and disorient him. Then the sprinkler systems came on and the room was doused in water. It contacted the flames and huge streaks of steam were created, the fire too hot and large to be completely washed out by the sprinklers though they were no much lower and the fire woman herself seemed to wane in the downpour.
