Entering the city streets

"Oh wow she went down rather quickly didn't she?" Thalia commented, though she was more then prepared to keep on fighting the other two. There wasn't exactly a shield or anything anymore separating the groups, and thankfully they seemed to at least outnumber the others, so that was something right? Of course she knew next to nothing about what their power sets aside from the obvious sort of thing. Namely the fact that Abyss attacked people with bandage tendrils or whatever and Reaper just seemed to really be happy with his scythe.

Well, that was all they could do right? Just a sharp pointy object and some makeshift whips or whatever, no problem.

At least that had been what she had hoped anyway. Reaper ended up attacking her, swinging at her with his scythe, which now that she noticed it seemed to have something humming around it that was a bit odd. He managed to slash her across the back, as she twisted to try and block using her wings, and she felt her movements suddenly jolt and slow, as apparently he had some sort of paralysis ability which was why she was majorly slowing down and her movements were more stilted. "Okay, now that just sucks, seriously?" she commented, trying to figure out a way to maybe burn through whatever he had done a lot more quickly.

Meanwhile Abyss was back to striking at the group with the tendrils that he controlled charging towards both Jade and Ed. Luckily for Ed, he didn't end up grappled by him, unfortunately for Jade, she was more or less getting suffocated by the tendrils as they had a firm grip on her. Clearly they weren't too thrilled by what they had done to Fatale, and were definitely getting a lot more vicious in their attacks, at least partially.

Reaper whirled around and manage to gash Ed across the arm, and he'd start bleeding a bit from the injury, however that wasn't all. He'd feel something starting to slow his movements and making it hard to move in general. If Reaper ended up hitting him again, odds were that it would end with him being paralyzed from the effect entirely. Thalia took a deep breath and let out a breath of fire, managing to singe Reaper a bit from it. Currently she was debating about attempting something else to get the paralytic out of her system, but more or less had decided against it.

Abandoned Building

Shocker glanced around the area to see whether or not it would be worth it to continue fighting. He had several injuries from the explosion, and saw that they did too, but he also knew that he was still outnumbered and likely would fall fairly quickly. He said nothing, before he took off running in the direction that Feral had gone, leaving just the three of them outside of the building, with the other Brotherhood members who were still knocked out from the explosion.

"Okay, well, that went a bit better than expected honestly. Then again, they kind of knocked themselves out with regards to everything. Seriously, well, we might want to see about catching up with the others, see if they found anyone..." Mary commented with a bit of a shrug, looking at the building in front of them.

"I mean, hopefully nothing horrible happened or whatever while we nearly got blown up or something," Pietro added, but he tilted his head to the side, noticing something that was starting to occur, or at least noticed something off. "Uhhhh... Anyone else think that building looks really unstable? Or is it just me?" he ended up asking Cass and Mary.

Paying more attention now, Mary's eyes grew wide as rubble started falling from the building, and it started collapsing. The ground began to shake as vines instantly shot upwards around the building, and she more or less was holding it up, kind of anyway. "Ok, they need to get out now, since otherwise that thing will be coming down and I don't know how long I can keep it standing."

Meanwhile inside of the building, the mutants who had been hiding out finally seemed to trust Guin at least somewhat, more or less enough to follow her out of the room considering the fact that Sabretooth seemed to be going crazy and clawing at his own neck. Carolina though would feel her hold on Sabretooth slipping, before after a moment, she was ejected from his body entirely and thrown back into her own.

Lance had more or less just been keeping an eye on everything, before he noticed that Sabretooth started growling, and instantly knew that he likely was in control again. Which was not a good thing considering the fact that the three of them didn't really have much in the way of combative powers. His were the closest that they had, and he didn't use them for fights, he used them for defense and the art of healing people and the art of not dying. Sure, they could be fairly offensive, but he didn't tend to use them that way at all.

He instantly threw up a shield of light near where he and Carolina were, one which Sabretooth instantly started pounding on (since he was clearly not thrilled at Carolina taking control of his body), and because of the force of his attacks, the shield was already starting to crack from the hits. This was bad, this was really bad. However he started hearing the sound of something cracking, as a large piece of rubble from the roof came down onto the shield, and it shattered entirely, and Lance fell backwards onto the ground, coughing a bit from that whole thing.

Now he wasn't too sure what to do, as there wasn't a whole lot now between where they were, and where Sabretooth was. Deciding to at least attempt something useful, he managed to make a bit of a spear of light and threw it at Sabretooth, which managed to hit him in the shoulder and do some damage though so yay for that, but it wasn't a whole lot. More rubble started coming down from the ceiling much more quickly, and something would be painfully obvious to all three of them at this point. This building was coming down, and it was coming down now.

"Oi, mate, that one was mine," Jade complained to Edus. She did appreciate that he seemed to at least be somewhat of a team player, meaning the odds of him leaving her to her death were rather slim - or at least, slimmer than she had initially believed. There were two foes remaining and Jade was hoping they'd be able to handle them relatively quickly, in order to avoid drawing a lot of attention to themselves. One of them, Abyss, shot out tendrils, the tendrils grappling her and making it nearly impossible to breathe.

Jade didn't panic though, even with the lack of oxygen. She had her angel blade in her hand and she neatly sliced at the tentacles, the tendrils falling to the ground by her feet, and Jade sucked in a deep breath, filling her depleted lungs with air. She didn't waste much time though, before stabbing Abyss in the chest with the blade, expecting to see the mutant fall to the ground, dead. Instead, it was like something was trying to pull her dagger in. Jade tilted her head, "bloody hell?" she muttered, before digging her heels in and pulling with all of her might - it was like trying to pull the sword from the stone, the force she was using almost made her stumble backwards when she finally got the dagger free. And somehow, bizarrely, Abyss was still standing - they needed a new plan.



Guinevere Stark


Thankfully, the cowering mutants were leaving - finally. Guin let out a small sigh of relief, really wishing that she had some more useful powers in order to actually help out. The main thing her power was good for was keeping her from dying due to the virus Magneto had released into New York City - the virus that had killed her father. A few seconds later though, it looked like Carolina's possession came to an end, as Sabretooth was mad and growling once more. Lance threw up a shield to protect himself and Carolina, Sabretooth started pounding away on it, Lance attacked Sabretooth again, and horrifyingly, the building started to come down around them. Carolina and Lance needed an escape route.

Guin rushed forward, touching Sabretooth's back and trying to pull off a switch with him, in order to help make things easier for Carolina and Lance to escape the building. She concentrated, trying to leave her body and go into his, but it didn't work. The one time she needed to do it quickly, she was stuck. Sabretooth spun around and swiped at her with his claws, Guin narrowly jumping backwards. Her eyes darted rapidly around her and she grabbed a small piece of rubble, tossing it at Sabretooth - and missing horribly. At the very least, she had his attention. Maybe she could get him to chase her on out and leave Carolina and Lance an opening to escape. "Hey flea bag, you're so fucking ugly Magneto thought it was a secondary mutation!" Guin shouted.

Sabretooth growled at her and Guin took off at a dash for the exit, Sabretooth's claws carving into her back as she managed to escape. She couldn't even stop to think about the pain from the bleeding, as she made her way down the stairs and hit the ground floor of the building, hoping Carolina and Lance would make it out okay.

Carolina instantly felt her control over Sabertooth quickly fading, and eventually she was ejected forcefully out of him and back into her body, breathing heavily as Carolina quickly got back up to her feet. At least the innocent mutants were out of the room thanks to Guin, but she just realized that Sabertooth now had his full attention towards her and Lance. "Well at least we got the others out of here." Carolina said towards Lance as Sabertooth quickly went in and started to attack them. Luckily Lance was able to summon up a light shield from them, as Sabertooth started to slam against the shield, she noticed it starting to crack.

Then the ground started to shake and the ceiling came crashing down breaking Lance's shield in the process. "Yeah I think it's time for us to get going now." Carolina said as Guin came back and managed to distract and get Sabertooth mad enough to follow after her, Carolina helped Lance back up and quickly made a run towards the stairs.

The ground was shaking badly but she managed to get back down to the first level where guin and Sabertooth were, she ran for the door when Sabertooth turned his attention towards her and managed to claw her arm pretty badly causing Carolina to cry out in pain and stumble backwards slightly while holding her arm as blood started to slide down her arm.

Cassandra started to relax as Shocker quickly decided it was a good idea to flee now, watching him running off the same way his friend had gone to. "Well that was probably the easiest fight I experienced." Cassandra said looking at Pietro and Mary, as she gave Quicksilver a slight look wondering what he was talking about. But then she felt and heard the ground shaking as the building that Guin, Lance and her sister were in.

Mary quickly summoned up some plants to try and slow the building from falling down on their friends, Cass turned to look at Pietro he was the quickest one here after all. "Pietro quickly try and see if you can get the others out as soon as possible." Cassandra told him, she felt a bit helpless, her powers that luckily managed to kick him before the virus was released but she knew that she couldnt really do anything to prevent the building from falling. She just hoped that the others were able to finish their mission and get out safely as well to.

"And now neither of us have to worry about her." He said calmly. He wasn't worried about it. Then Reaper attacked him and he could feel his blood seem to slow down within his very veins. His limbs felt heavy. It felt like he was about to lose the ability to control his limbs. What sort of power was this? He felt poisoned.

He pulled at his magic and tried to send tendrils of healing to Jade and Thalia. Unfortunately, his magic didn't spread to them. It slowly reached out and didn't go far enough out to help heal Jade or Thalia. He felt better but it had taken a lot to get himself taken care of. He started another spell.

Entering the city streets

"Alright, new plan is definitely needed..." Thalia managed to say, before she started trying to focus a bit to try and at least get some of the paralytic out of her system. A small clock face seemingly appeared in her hand, and Thalia focused all of her energy on it, as the arms on the clock started racing and going forward. Suddenly her body shifted, and she felt that she finally had movement once more in her body. Which was a good thing, considering being practically frozen in place was horrible. The slash from his scythe on her back turned into more of a scar, the bleeding having stopped entirely at this point.

New plan, right, things like this weren't getting them anywhere, though the thing she noticed was that Abyss definitely seemed like he was more of a range attacker, while Reaper was obviously way more close combat. "How about we switch dance partners, I can keep him at more of a distance or something," she commented, nodding her head in the direction of Abyss, before with a swift gust of wind, she flew up slightly into the air. Thalia didn't go super high, but at least enough to keep some distance between her and Abyss (and Reaper too).

Reaper instantly started slashing at Ed again, another slash, this time across the chest, but luckily he managed to not get hit by the paralytic this time. However the pain from the injury would be incredibly painful, not to mention the fact that the injury was starting to bleed rather heavily. Seeing this, Thalia sent a breath of fire directly at Reaper, enough to cause him to jump backwards away from Jade and Ed now. Abyss seemed to see Thalia as a bit of a pest of a bug, and saw Jade as one too, as Jade ended up being a decent target, as a tendril slammed into Jade and sent her backwards again. Thalia sent another fireball at Abyss and a few of the tendrils he had caught fire, and he started waving them around trying to put the fires out.

Abandoned Building

The building was coming down, that was just a guaranteed fact. No matter what, it just was more of when. "I can't keep it up much longer!" Mary said, as the vines around the building completely crumbled and the building just started tumbling down entirely.

Inside the building, Lance instantly turned to race down the stairs out of the collapsing building, however he forgot the fact that Sabretooth was still in the room. Sabretooth, who honestly probably had a building collapse on him more than once, decided to make a grab at him, even though the building was starting to collapse completely. Unfortunately, since Lance wasn't much of a fighter, Sabretooth easily managed to grab him by the back of his shirt and ended up starting to lift him off the ground. Instinctively, his body gave off a blinding light, luckily it was enough for him to get Sabretooth to let go of him.

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to move much more than a little ways away from Sabretooth before the ceiling completely collapsed in on him. For Carolina and Guin, they weren't able to get much closer to the exit (though thankfully the people they had helped had gotten out) before everything started collapsing in on them entirely too.

Pietro finally snapped out of his stupor, and he charged at full speed into the building. With everything slowing down and the rocks coming down, unfortunately he only had the time to grab one person. There was so much rubble and debris, no matter what he did, he couldn't find a path to be able to save everyone. Rushing in, he managed to grab Guin and race out, though not before both he and Guin got hit by a few blocks of rubble that fell. Guin would end up with a few bruises from the rubble, and Pietro ended up with a gash across his head from it.

The building collapsed and Pietro ended up having to dive in order to get himself and Guin out. Unfortunately, Lance and Carolina were still inside of the building. Both would end up with serious injuries, and they'd be finding it getting to be a bit difficult to breathe in the rubble that more or less was burying them, though they'd have a small air pocket, so they weren't going to die yet. The others would likely want to hurry up to try to unbury them, since otherwise they might end up dead from their injuries, or from suffocation.

"Guina are you okay?" Pietro asked her instantly, more or less tunnel visioning in on her and ignoring the remains of the building entirely.

"...Okay, we need to try to find them quickly in that... And hope we find them fast, since injuries from that could be fatal if not dealt with quickly," Mary said to Cass, heading over to the rubble.

Carolina watched as Sabertooth grabbed onto Lance and picked him up, she was about to charge after him but Lance managed to light himself bright enough to blind him temporarily to drop him. Carolina quickly made her way towards Lance to try and help him up, when the ground started to shake more violently, and everything came tumbling down before them. Carolina saw a quick silver flash grabbing Guin before disappearing. Then the building completely collapsed ontop of her and Lance, covering the two of them in rubble and dust and then everything went black.

Carolina's eyes slowly started to open and they stung as dust from the rubble got in them causing them to water, and then she started to cough. Everything hurt as she slowly started to look around, she was still alive some how she wasnt sure how long she had or if the air pocket had enough for her. "Lance are you there?" Carolina called out to him.




Cassandra Reed

Cassandra watched helplessly as the entire building came crashing down on top of her sister and Lance, Quicksilver managed to only save one person, and that was Guin. She was hoping that he'd get the three of them out in time, but he couldnt, as the dust started to settle down Cass turned to Mary and nodded. "You dont have to tell me twice." Cass said as she quickly bolted over towards the rubble, and started to try and pick up rocks and rubble to move out of the way.

She was doing her best to hold back her tears as she moved more of the rubble as quickly as she could, she didn't have any kind of super strength or anything like that to get to her sister and Lance. She was hoping that she and Lance were still alive down in there she looked over towards Mary hoping that she could do something to move things faster.

Any healing Ed had accomplished was out the window now. He was bleeding heavily from his chest. This was a later problem he decided. These guys needed to be taken out now. He attempted to create a bubble shield inside Reaper, but he failed to create the shield. He tried a second time, this time going for a large shield outside Reaper with the intention of shrinking it on the man. This failed too. Whatever damage had been done to Ed seemed to have caused his magic to have issues. This made it more important to end the fight as fast as possible.

Ed took a deep breath and focused, gritting his teeth. This time a bubble appeared around Reaper and started shrinking. He let his breath out slowly. This might at least keep Reaper distracted for a bit. They could focus their physical attacks on Abyss. If Thalia and Jade could get Abyss out that would give them even more of an advantage against Reaper.

Jade snorted ever so slightly as Thalia set Abyss on fire. That was one way to deal with things. "Same old same old, eh?" she commented, recalling how Thalia had similarly dispatched with the Goddess of Death. "Seems you're losing your touch though, luv, the bloke's still standing." She herself had been slammed backwards by another one of Abyss' tendrils moments prior, and Jade picked herself up off of the ground, her angel blade in hand.

She darted forward, slashing at Abyss with the dagger. She hit, damaging the rogue mutant, and Jade slashed again, this time missing his tendrils as one of them lashed out, slamming into her hand to knock her dagger away. She didn't lose grip of it though, slashing again at Abyss, his bandages seemingly beginning to unravel - which she assumed was good? Stabbing him repeatedly hadn't seemed to kill him, so maybe now with some fire the stabbing was more effective?



Guinevere Stark


The next thing Guin knew, the building was collapsing around her, and her back was stinging with the deep cuts Sabretooth had inflicted on her. She reflexively closed her eyes and stuck out her arms to shield her face, only to feel a pair of strong, muscular arms grip her and suddenly, she was moving faster than her mind could keep up with. When she opened her eyes again, she was outside, the building collapsed into a heap, dust and debris kicking up into the air and causing her to cough profusely. "I'm fine," Guin said, even though Pietro quite literally had her blood on his hands.

"Are you okay? That looks bad," she commented, studying the gash on his forehead. She knew he'd heal quickly - she was more concerned about the wound becoming infected than just not closing up. Once he let go of her, Guin scrambled over to the rubble, quickly scanning the area for anything that they could use to help dig them out sooner, but she didn't find anything. Instead, Guin started methodically adjusting and shifting pieces of rubble, working as carefully as she could. At first, she didn't uncover anything - but then, she heard something moving beneath the rubble. "Over here!"

Entering the city streets

"...Yeah, well I don't actively try to kill people. The whole thing with Hel was an accident, and I was perfectly happy with Jakobsen taking credit for that one mainly, since I personally wanted nothing to do with that insanity. Honestly I still don't," Thalia responded with a bit of an eye roll towards Jade. She didn't hide the fact that she preferred to distance herself from anything that had happened in Coventry, being the person to burn the Goddess of Death at the stake included.

Personally, she really wanted to be a normal person, but unfortunately that was never going to happen with her life. Her attention turned to look back at Abyss, and she started getting a really sinking feeling, as if something truly bad was likely going to happen. Thalia was trying to shake that feeling away, considering the fact that she had that feeling a lot, but that sort of feeling wasn't exactly going away. Great, this was just what she needed. Though nothing seemed to be happening, at least at first, aside from the bandages around Abyss that Jade had hit had continued to unravel. And just kept going...And soon revealed exactly why Abyss kept the tendrils around him like that.

It was a hole, a black hole type of thing, and it started pulling with a rather large force, trying to drag all of them in.

"You have no idea what you are dealing with," Abyss said rather calmly, though it was a bit obvious he wasn't fully on board with them getting dragged into the black hole. He also wasn't entirely surprised though, however it would be highly recommended that maybe they all might want to grab onto something.

Thalia was having a bit of a problem, considering the fact that she was in the air, and didn't really have anything to grab a hold of. If she went to the ground, she'd risk getting dragged through and not being able to grab something. Her wings were beating a bit as she was more or less fighting against the wind. Not seeing much else to do, she let out a breath of fire, however the fireball went straight into the black hole and disappeared entirely. "Guessing this is why he's called Abyss..." she managed to mutter.

Pile of Rubble

Lance was coughing a bit from the rubble and dust that was all around him. It did not help that he not only got hit by rubble from the floors above, but he also ended up falling from the second story, and he had landed fairly hard on the ground. On top of the rubble pushing down. He had no idea where in the rubble he was compared to others, though he (and Carolina as well) could hear some voices above them, likely the others moving about the rubble.

However, he definitely heard someone a lot closer and not coming from up above him. This voice was a lot closer and sounded like it had said his name. It took a moment to realize that it was Carolina's voice, meaning odds were she hadn't gotten out in time either. "Carolina?" he responded, though it sort of hurt to breathe or talk really, but even still, she'd be able to hear him. Of course, the thought occurred to him to see about maybe shining a bright light or something to act as a bit of a signal to show where he was to those above the rubble. Unfortunately, the light that he did manage to send off wasn't strong enough to really reach the surface, however Carolina would be close enough to where he was, that she'd be able to see it barely shining through the rubble near her.

Back up top, Mary instantly started moving rubble using vines to more quickly move the rubble. Cass would be able to move a lot of the rubble herself, but moving rubble by hand unfortunately wasn't very easy, especially when some of the rocks were incredibly heavy ones, mixed in with smaller more easily moveable ones. That sort of hindered the progress a bit. However, Mary instantly went over towards the area that Guin indicated, looking at the rocks.

"I'm alright Guina, don't worry about it, how about you?" Pietro responded to her as he walked over now to the area that Guin had seen movement. Going rather quickly, he started moving the boulders at super speed, and eventually it was revealed to be....

Sabretooth.

"Oops, uh wrong person, sorry about that," Pietro commented, before instantly starting to rebury Sabretooth in the rubble. Which hopefully would slow him down a bit right?

Nope, Sabretooth instantly started popping back up from the rubble, and after a few moments, he had unburied himself and was standing up at his full height. A bit battered from the building, but he was fairly alright, considering the fact that he had a bit of a healing factor himself.

This was not a good situation, and Mary instantly used the vines that were moving bits of rubble to throw rocks at him, and she managed to land a few hits, but it wasn't seemingly able to do too much damage. "Alright, now knock him down, hopefully... And then get them out, since pretty sure we're not going to have much time to unbury them with him still here."

Sabretooth meanwhile, started grabbing a few chunks of rubble, and threw them, seeming to aim at Cass. The first rock landed on the ground by her with a bit of a thud, missing her completely. The second one though hit its mark, and slammed into Cass' stomach, knocking her completely to the ground, and actually pinning her underneath it at the moment. Well this was going to be a fun fight now wasn't it.

Carolina closed her eyes for a moment and was relieved to hear that he was alright, as she looked around to see where he was from where she was. "I'm here." Carolina replied back as she coughed a bit of dust again, she could hear the muffled voices of the others hopefully they'll be able to uncover them in time. She was having a really hard time breathing right now due to the dust and the air around them being pretty thin.

"Are you alright?" Carolina called out to him as she noticed the light that Lance was able to produce with his powers though it was really dim for her to see where she was currently. Carolina wasnt sure how long they had before they ran out of air, as Carolina tried to look for a way to move around a bit.




Cassandra Reed

Cassandra wasnt sure where to actually start looking for her sister and Lance to get them both out of the rubble, as she moved as much as she could, Cass turned her attention towards where Guin was and started to make her way over towards it. She could hear something in the rubble as Pietro started to move the rubble away at super speed. When it ended up revealing someone she didnt want to see at all, being Sabertooth. He stood up at his full height and started to throw chunks of rubble at them mainly at her.

The first one ended up missing just landing by her feet, the next thing she knew she felt the wind getting knocked out of her and she was sent to the ground pinned down by the chunk of rubble that Sabertooth threw at her. Cassandra groaned as she tried to get it off of her, which took a lot longer than she thought it would. She was able to roll it off of her just barely as Cassandra got back up to her feet while looking at the others. Cass picked up a smaller piece of rubble and tried to throw it at Sabertooth's head to get his attention, and then another, both of which didnt get his attention. "Hey Fleabag!" Cass yelled to get his attention towards her while the others tried to save Lance and Carolina.

An easy solution to their problem presented itself when Abyss decided to show why his name was such. Ed flicked his wrist through Reaper toward him...and missed throwing Reaper instead into a building. Oops. However, Ed felt himself being pulled in toward Abyss. He considered his options, doubting that hitting Abyss would do much good. So he threw a few force blasts at Reaper hoping to keep him pinned down at the building and not rejoining the fray.

He then reached out and grabbed a lamp post he was sliding past and held on for dear life. Ed wished he had a grenade or something. Though he couldn't know if that would hurt Abyss. He had a lot of questions on how Abyss' power worked. Ed doubted he'd get any of those answers though.

"Seriously?! You've got to be fucking kidding me," Jade complained, as Abyss turned out to contain an actual black hole inside of his chest. She looked around quickly, her brain going into hyperdrive as she calculated the best way to deal with him. They needed a way to 1) knock him out and 2) take care of the black hole, but she unfortunately wasn't an astrophysicist. But assuming the black hole was part of his mutant power, maybe getting rid of the source would settle things. Jade made sure she had a decent grip on her angel blade as she moved towards Abyss, even with the sucking force of the black hole threatening to draw her in. She slipped and fell to the ground, managing to keep a hold of her blade, as she was drawn closer to the black hole.

But it worked in her favor, as it got her closer to Abyss. She popped up, using her natural acrobatic skills, and stabbed Abyss with her dagger. She had been aiming for the head for a kill shot, but instead, she got him in the shoulder. She kept a strong grip on his body, to prevent herself from getting sucked in, and then she went for the hail Mary - something so incredibly stupid it might just work.

And Jade judo flipped him into his own black hole, Abyss vanishing through it, and the black hole closing up as he left. "Not bad for a fucking flatscan, huh?" Jade commented, tilting her head from side to side to loosen up her neck slightly. She had goosebumps. She was a little surprised the universe hadn't just imploded on itself with what she had just done.

Guinevere Stark


"I'm okay - just some cuts, so as long as they don't get infected, we're all --" Guin started to answer, before stopping abruptly as Pietro unearthed the worst possible scenario. It was like they were cursed. A part of Guin wanted to curl up into a ball and cry and just give up. Surviving in New York was so hard on a good day - today, it seemed impossible. What point was there in trying to help others when they could barely defend themselves? Guin knew that she wasn't going to be able to do much, and she was about to go run Cass (who Sabretooth, bursting out of the rubble despite Pietro's attempts to re-seal him, had thrown a boulder at) but Cass managed to roll it off alone.

Instead, Guin quickly darted out to Sabretooth's sight and dedicated herself to finding Carolina and Lance, trusting that the others would have the Angry Carpet handled. She started pushing and shifting the rubble, hoping that she could find them quickly, praying to whatever Asgardian beings were still alive that they'd have just one little ounce of good luck today. Something went right thankfully, as Guin unearthed Carolina. "Carolina! Are you okay?" Guin asked, offering Carolina her arm to help her get out of the rubble. "Is Lance with you?"

Entering the city streets

Thalia was rather glad when the guy disappeared from Jade throwing him into his own black hole, which was a bit strange to think about, but whatever, she wasn't exactly complaining about it. She nosedived straight to the ground, catching herself a few feet away from it and swooped upwards slightly, before landing fully on the ground, and her wings folded up before seeming to disappear entirely. "Well that was fun..." she commented, and Ed would notice that Reaper was either playing dead or was knocked out entirely and not moving anymore.

"Though hopefully no one notices these three are missing or whatever to go alert anyone else that we're here, but so much for being stealthy anyway considering that probably caused a lot of noise..." she added, before looking back at the other two. There wasn't too much of a commotion anymore, and the streets were once more being eerily quiet, and completely empty aside from them. There wasn't too much of an indicator about where they should go now. Though trying to locate anyone or something in a rather large area was not exactly going to be relatively easy all things considering.

Glancing over at the two of them again, she asked, "So, anyone have any ideas? Considering the fact that we are kind of alone on the streets for the moment or whatever... If we don't care about trying to stay on the lowdown I could fly up again real quick, get an aerial view of the city from above, see if there is any sort of indicator about where we should go... Or we can wander around the streets a little bit and try something like that. I don't really care much either way."

Pile of Rubble

Sabretooth was not happy with the others, or the fact that he also just had a building dropped on him. He had no idea who had caused the building to collapse, however here were a bunch of pesky people who were standing around, so clearly they had something to do with it right? He was growling a bit, before he started throwing rubble a bit at everyone in front of him, which just so happened to be Cass, Mary and Pietro. He started chucking rubble once again, and this time he completely missed Cass, the rock missing her entirely. Mary ended up getting thrown backwards by the one that had slammed into her, but she managed to get back up from it, and Pietro easily dodged the one that had headed towards him.

Speaking of Pietro, he was clearly annoyed with Sabretooth deciding to show up, so he instantly charged straight at him, and with a boom he slammed his fist into Sabretooth's head with a boom, sending him to the ground with one punch. Though unfortunately, he wasn't knocked out, and if anything Pietro likely pissed him off even more. Pietro was more or less causing a really big distraction, since Guin was busy getting people out of the rubble and he did not want Sabretooth to turn his attention towards that group.

"This is getting more then a bit annoying," Mary grumbled a bit, as vines started heading for Sabretooth now. She managed to wrap them around him, but Sabretooth was already easily fighting his way out of them. And honestly, they likely weren't going to hold him back for too long, so that was not something that was going to end well. They really needed to knock him out really quickly already.

There wasn't really any movement over by the rubble, and Carolina had a few severe injuries that likely would need to be looked at from being buried underneath the rubble and all. However, after a few moments, Guin and Carolina would both see a very small ball of light more or less sort of float up from the rubble about 8 feet or so away from where Guin had unburied Carolina. That currently was the only sort of sign, and the ball of light dispersed rather quickly after a moment. There wasn't another one or anything though, and they were still getting lucky in the fact that Sabretooth was being thoroughly distracted from them.

Carolina Reed


Location: New York City Building Interior
Skills: N/A





Carolina was having a hard time moving, until she was able to hear Guin's voice getting louder and louder, and things started to get brighter as Guin managed to unbury her safely. She slowly reached over for Guin's hands and with her help was able to get back up to her feet. She was covered in dust and really bloody, as she slowly looked around she was glad to be alive as Carolina turned to look at Guin and nodded slightly. "I'll be alright.." Carolina said wincing slightly as she held her side a little bit, she needed a moment to lay down and rest.

Carolina turned to see a ball of light coming up from the rubble before it dissipated and quickly started to make her way over towards where Lance was. Luckily Sabertooth seemed to be preoccupied with the others currently which was a good thing then, she started to unbury Lance getting as much of the rubble off of him as possible. She looked down seeing a piece of rubble that was still on Lance's legs and tried to get it off of him, but her injuries were hurting her a lot and quickly let go. "Are you okay Lance?" Carolina asked him while looking down at him. "I need some help." Carolina said looking over towards Guin and Cassandra.




Cassandra Reed


Location: New York Streets
Skills: N/A





Cassandra took a step back as Sabertooth started to chuck more pieces of rubble at all of them, he clearly wasnt happy and he was just mindlessly throwing stuff at all of them. Mary ended up getting hit but she was alright and then Pietro, she took a moment and saw Guin unburying her sister which made her relax and happy to see that she was alright for the most part. Pietro managed to land a good punch on Sabertooth knocking him down.

Though she heard her sister calling out for help, and quickly went over towards Carolina and Lance were, seeing his legs were still pinned under the rubble, Cass quickly started to lift it up and managed to get it off of him, and knelt down to gently help Lance back up to his feet. She was glad that no one ended up dying from being trapped under the rubble, as Cass looked at Lance. "I got you." She said towards him.

Edus Penior


Skill: Magic




Ed sighed relieved. The fight seemed to be over. He wouldn't let his guard down completely though until he knew for certain. "Scouting might be good. We should get moving quickly though. That commotion will definitely have drawn attention."

He summoned a basic shield, just covering his front as he made his way to where he had thrown Reaper. He would do the healings after he checked on where Reaper was, and that the guy was actually down. He didn't want to leave him alive considering how much he would know now. Ed found Reaper's body. And a body it was. Ed was certain the man was down.

Ed focused his magic again and this time orange wisps touched each of them it took longer than he would have liked, but he was able to heal their wounds.

Jade Cornish


Jade was mildly annoyed that the others didn't seem very impressed with her handling Abyss, but she wasn't about to ask for praise from them. She considered the two options - have Thalia fly up high, potentially exposing their location but providing results far more quickly, or continue to scout from the ground, allowing them to keep a lower profile but increasing the amount of time they'd need to spend in their search. Edus was right though - it was likely the fight they had just been in had drawn some degree of attention, even if that was just from the fact that Abyss and the other two were about to go missing. "I agree, an aerial scout is ideal for now," Jade said.

Her mind then thought of another aspect of Thalia's powers that could come in handy if this was the absolutely incorrect solution. She kept it to herself though, not knowing how much Thalia wanted to play that close to the vest. "You should be as quick as you can about it though, the longer you're up there, the more likely they'll see you."



Guinevere Stark


Guin couldn't help but feel a little bit worried, not just for Lance but for Carolina as well. She looked like she was in pretty rough shape, with some serious injuries that would need medical attention as soon as possible. It would've been really nice if her mutant power had been healing, rather than body hopping - much more useful at least. Maybe she could make a robotic doctor to follow the group around, like in that one movie she had seen once as a kid, with the fluffy inflated robot - what had his name been again? "Lance!" Guin exclaimed, seeing a small ball of light come out of the rubble.

Guin moved quickly in the direction of the light, thanking her lucky stars that Sabretooth hadn't come over to kill them just yet and the others were managing to keep him busy. Carolina managed to get most of the rubble off of Lance, and thankfully, he was still alive. Cass then got the rest of the rubble off of Lance, so that way he was no longer pinned. Guin knelt down next to him. "Hey, can you walk? Your legs hopefully are better than Professor X's?" Guin asked him, a little worried that his legs might have been broken or paralyzed with how they'd been pinned under the rubble.

Entering the city streets

"Alright, to the skies I go again, try not to cause too much trouble while I'm up in the air okay?" she said with a bit of an eye roll, before her wings sprouted again and she flew off into the air. Soaring above the city and it's buildings, the site of desolated buildings, as well as what looked to still be dead bodies littering the streets made her a bit sick, but she pushed those thoughts out of her mind. Her eyes were focused on trying to spot anyone or anything that might be useful, and hopefully not be seen. Thalia flew a little ways away from where Jade and Ed were, and she saw a few things that stuck out to her with regards to everything.

The first thing, was the building that clearly seemed to be a headquarters of sorts for the Brotherhood. It was understandable how no one on the outside would have easily noticed it, with all of the chaos that occurred, any ship flying overhead would easily be taken out. It was several blocks away from where they were in one direction, almost directly in the heart of the city. However, as she looked she also noticed a building that looked like it had very recently been destroyed, as in, very recently. From this distance, all she could tell was that there were a few people over there, but that was about it.

Going into a bit of a nosedive as she circled back around and landed right by Jade and Ed once more. "Alright, there is still a chance that I was seen, however I wasn't immediately attacked, so we should be fine for now. More directly in the heart of the city there is a building that Magneto clearly has claimed as his central HQ. Plus the surrounding area seems to be a sort of mini city within the main city. Where his goons seem to live. We're on the outskirts of that by several blocks. However, a bit closer to where we are a building seemed to have been recently demolished, and what looked to be a fight of sorts going on nearby, but was too far away to easily see what was going on over there." she reported with a bit of a shrug, letting the other two know what all she had seen from the sky.

"As far as I can tell, we can go see what all is going on over there, or go and try to sneak into the central part of the city and look around what seems to be the main hub for Magneto and his group. What do you two think?"

Pile of Rubble

As predicted, the vines that Mary had used to wrap around Sabretooth to hold him back snapped, and Sabretooth was free once more. He instantly made a grab for the group that had been unburying people in the rubble now, but Pietro decided to race forward and knock Sabretooth over, causing some form of distraction again. Of course, it resulted in pissing him off, and Sabretooth proceeded to jump back up onto his feet and charge at the speedster, and sadly for Pietro, he wasn't fully paying attention to everything and got tackled to the ground by him.

Mary figured the others were doing alright with digging people out, so she sent vines back at Sabretooth in an attempt to get him off of the speedster. She missed him rather horribly with her first attempt, however she managed to whirl the vines around to slam into him on the backswing so to speak and she knocked him off of Pietro now. "Stay down already Sabretooth, this is getting a little ridiculous and old!" she snapped, clearly more then a bit annoyed with this entire situation.

"Yeah, we aren't even the ones responsible for the building collapsing, that was Boom Boom being an idiot," Pietro added, as he got up, he had a few scrapes and scratches from Sabretooth's attack.

Lance was really glad to be unburied, and now that he could see his injuries, it was easier to assess what likely was wrong, hopefully anyway. Both he and Carolina he could easily tell had injuries that likely had some form of internal bleeding and needed to be dealt with very quickly, otherwise that likely would end up in them dying, but that was just a basic assessment on the idea of injuries one likely would sustain from rubble and rocks falling and crushing you. Glancing at Carolina, he was a little surprised that she was standing, but he didn't immediately say anything about it. Honestly, he hadn't even noticed that there was rubble that was insanely heavy pinning him to the ground and crushing his legs, there should have been some sort of indicator right? Wait a minute...

Without even thinking, or saying anything to respond to people asking if he's alright, a small thing of light appeared in his hand, it wasn't enough to cause anymore actual injury, but enough that it should cause a sharp pain when poked with it. With that in hand, he stabbed down and hit his leg with it, and he didn't even flinch from what should have been a sharp stabbing pain. "...I can't move, I can't..." he said, before taking a deep breath as he tried to think for a moment. "Ok, so there are a few possibilities um, either it could be temporary, caused by a sudden jolt or partial tear to the spinal cord that can heal after a while. Or be permanent where that incident caused the spinal cord to be completely severed or something like that um..." Yeah his brain was trying to go through the whole what the hell to do now thing given the fact that he could not stand up or walk or anything. He likely could fly around by surrounding himself with light, but honestly, he likely wasn't going to be of much help or use currently, since he was kind of panicking.

Of course, they all currently were in a pile of rubble with Sabretooth wanting to take them all out, since despite what Mary and Pietro were saying towards him, it seemed like Sabretooth wanted to deal with the people who weren't attacking him, since they were easier targets. For some strange reason he didn't seem to like Cass, as he jumped at Cass once again, and tackled her. Of course, he wasn't able to pin her easily as Cass would be able to knock him off of her, but Sabretooth growled at the entire group. Some people just did not know when to quit.

Carolina Reed


Location: New York City Building Interior
Skills: N/A





Carolina took a moment and sat down her body was giving up on her as she took a moment and lifted up her shirt seeing the severe bruising that she had sustained from the building falling on top of her and being pinned by rubble. Carolina started to cough slightly as she took a moment and looked down seeing blood in her hand. That wasnt really good as she felt a bit dizzy as well to, looking at Lance as he stabbed himself in the leg with his light ability seeing that he didnt even flinch wasnt a good thing at all.

"We'll figure it out and get you some help.." Carolina said as she coughed again as Sabertooth seemed to turn his attention towards them again and immediately charged after them. Pietro and Mary were doing their best to keep Sabertooth at bay but that didnt help at all as Sabertooth tackled her sister to the ground.




Cassandra Reed


Location: New York Streets
Skills: N/A





Cassandra easily managed to push Sabertooth off of her and glared at him. "Give it a rest flea bag." Cass said as she looked down and found herself a nice piece of rebar from the rubble and easily picked it up and swung it at Sabertooth's head. Managing to knock the hulking fleabag down and then proceeded to try and stab him with it while he was down. She however missed pretty badly as it stabbed into the concrete with no issue.

Cassandra then went to do it again and missed when Sabertooth snatched it from her hands and then stood up to his full height again and then ran the piece of rebar through her side crying out in pain. Cass took a few steps back and looked down at the piece of rebar that pierced through her skin blood coming out of the wound ever so slightly.

That information gave them something to go off of. They had now located the base of operations, which was step one. Magneto now had three fewer people on his side. "If there was a fight recently it might be good for our secondary mission to investigate that. If any resistance survived we might be able to follow them or deduce from the fight how many there were and what their powers were."

Ed considered the information they had now. Sending information out would be dangerous, but giving the coordinates for Magneto's base of operation was their core mission. "We should get the coordinates out if nothing else. And get moving again. Point the way toward the recent fight. Let's see what we can learn from it." None of the group had been explicitly put in charge. Ed was used to working with groups, but normally there was one person who officially called the shots. If the others wanted to run the group he would let them, but decisions needed to be made.

Jade Cornish


Jade considered the information that Thalia had brought to them and the choice seemed rather obvious. Yes, they had handled these three, but they weren't going to be enough against Magneto - not yet. Their best chance was to stick with the plan and attempt to rally other resistance forces. Even if those forces likely wouldn't be able to stop Magneto, they'd at least make decent cannon fodder and distractions, allowing them to hopefully take Magneto by surprise. They were all going to die in this mission, but it didn't matter. Jade wasn't doing this for herself - she was doing it for the children, the ones terrified and scared and feeling trapped inside this dead city. She was doing it for the kids elsewhere in the world too, ones whose future could be jeopardized if the government handed Magneto a few nukes for free.

"Agreed. Going straight after Magneto would be a suicide mission right now - we can save the martyrdom for later, hopefully with more allies," Jade said. Edus had a good head on his shoulders, as he had come to more or less the same conclusion she had. There was strength in numbers and they weren't going to have more than just one shot, maybe two if they were lucky, at getting this job done. Time was running out and they needed to act fast.

Guinevere Stark


Guin bit her lip, hearing Lance explain that he couldn't move his legs - she felt like she had jinxed him. Maybe she shouldn't have asked him. Maybe it was all just in his head or he was in shock or something entirely reasonable like that. It really sucked that it was Lance that was injured though, as he was their main/only healer - and Guin didn't think he'd appreciate her shouting physician, heal thyself! at him. "Okay, don't panic, we'll get you out of this," Guin promised him. She couldn't lose him - she had already lost so much. She'd rather switch places with him and find out what happened when she died while in someone else's form - hopefully he would just live on as her.

Guin's eyes darted around, spotting an abandoned shopping cart, the sort people pushed around grocery stores. Guin sprinted on over to it and grabbed the buggy, running with it back over to Lance. "Okay, we're putting you inside the cart, it'll be easier to move you until you can heal yourself, kay?" Guin said, not really waiting to see how he felt about this plan before she knelt down and tried to lift him up, doing her best not to think about Sabretooth rampaging maybe ten feet away from them. She managed to start lifting Lance though, until her grip slipped and he fell from her grasp, hitting the ground. "... At least you can't feel that, right?" She tried again, only to get the same result.
