Things were not going too well at all right now, fire had slammed into everyone throwing them everywhere. So now they had to deal with Max's powers going out of control. However, the metal rattling was not seemingly going too well. Actually she was fairly certain that Cortez had caused some issues with regards to that.
"Well that was fun," Pietro commented, having not raced the trio off but had basically done a fancy loop off the walls and ceiling of the hallway so that he, Guin and Bethany were still there.
"Max try not to use your powers we don't need to blow up or anything or any holes here to be destroyed or whatever." Mary said instantly, before looking instantly around. Cortez could attack with some range, but not a whole lot from what little things she knew.
"Well now someone is acting like a spoiled child demanding something." the speedster said out loud, looking over at Robert.
"I swear, you can't just demand it or ask for it in a kind of rude way and then suddenly expect it." Yup, definitely don't like this guy, he then said to Guin mentally.
Mira wasn't paying much attention to what was said once she was up and about once again, she instantly started looking down the hallway in both direction. When she saw Cortez. He was mostly hidden down around a corner not far from them, the guy definitely struck her as a weirdo though, considering the fact that he seemed to almost smile at the chaos that was going on.
"Over there," she said instantly pointing farther along, before all hell broke loose once again.
This time seemed like Magneto's powers were either going haywire, or he really really hated all of them and had been hiding that until now.
Bits of metal started swirling about the hallway, pulling up from the place, though it did seem to be several layers of metal, so it wasn't exposed to space or anything. Yet anyway. Which wasn't exactly super comforting considering the fact that there was still a lot of shrapnel now seemingly flying around looking for targets. And considering how many people were currently in the area, that was not going to end well.
The shrapnel started flying outwards in all directions, and despite his best attempts, Pietro ended up getting a decent sized piece of metal stuck into his knee, making it so he couldn't easily speed to necessarily avoid any more bits of metal. Several others ended up with bits of metal stuck into arms, that being Bethany, Ed, Perry, and Max all got hit with the shards as well. The speedster was really wanting to get the hell out of there, but then came another wave of metal flying at them. He instinctively put his arm up to potentially block the metal from at least hitting his arm since it came too fast for him to have easily avoided it.
But the shards never hit him.
Moving his arm away, the shards had seemingly completely stopped. But that was weird for more then a few reasons, aside from the fact that the shards were within a few inches of him. What made it strange was that they were the only shards that had stopped, others had gone to attack others but all of them had missed. With that in mind, it was fairly obvious that Magneto
hadn't been the one to stop them. So who had?
"...I am so confused..." "Maybe don't complain and just go with it!" Lance eventually said, before a wall of light of something basically shoved Pietro out of the way as the shards then went back to moving and hit the wall behind where he had just been. They had to deal with Cortez and hopefully that would deal with everyone's powers going haywire.
Mary's mind was racing at what was going on, and she glanced over in the direction that Mira had pointed to, before looking towards Max,
"If you aren't able to control fully your powers right now, just aim, Cortez is somewhere and might as well see if we can make it so he regrets messing with anyone's powers."
