[b]The E3 Floor[/b]

"Conor...hate to be the bearer of bad news, but [i]the entire floor[/i]?" spoke Ascot. "I know the Time Stop prevents anyone frozen from getting hurt until its over, but you're forcing me, Axel, and Genevieve to play 'cleanup crew', yet again." And, since Ascot had Timespace and was the only one among the Agents able to manipulate the chrono-frozen bystanders, this meant that he had to do the lion's share of the work. 

Unless of course, he conscripted the remaining Magi in the building, some of whom, like Ken Saddler, had tried to be heroes, while others just hid. Of course, this risked revealing that the Agency employed [i]kids[/i], but Mentalism existed for a reason; he can just mindwipe people afterwards. Sighing, and resigning himself to the task of removing memories later, he approached Ken Saddler, and spoke:

"Timespace is a very common School, but also the most underutilized; few people have the magical dexterity to use it as more than a speed enhancer. We need to gather as many Magi with that School as we can, so that we can move the bystanders away before the Time Stop ends."

"A group spell?" Ken asked. "It'll be hard, but follow my lead and I think I can do something, kid." He then headed back to the convention hall, where, accompanied by Axel and Genevive, the forgotten Agents, he began gathering as many people as he can, sometimes directing Axel to heal them in the process.

Finally, a group had gathered in front of Ascot, who then went to Silas, and spoke:

"You help too; you have Timespace, and we need as many Magi with that school as we can. I'm going to create a mind-link with every Magi in this group, ask them to either help with the group spell - if they have Timespace, or provide Mana, if they don't."

[B][i]Eise[/b][/i]

Eise would cut through the Time Stop's barrier in just a few seconds, emerging back into the 'present' time, where the only inhabitants were the NYPD and the still-frozen spectators. If he took the time to look, he would see the 'stiffs' move en masse, towards the parts of the centre still intact.

But if he didn't, no big; he would be off the centre and loping off, unseen, through the grounds, before moving on to the alleyways where he can take refuge, and heal.

While the others went to do cleanup (if anything else, the Brat at least knew the importance of such things), Thaz was going to the part of the centre where the Mechanical Spider had come from, taking note of the vanishing bodies of ArcU's 'Ghost' Troops; Timespace was such a powerful School. There, she found what she was looking for, a great machine shaped like, well, a collection of clockwork.

The Time Stop Device.

The woman waited for the others to finish cleaning up, then for Ascot to mind wipe the Magi who had helped him and disappear, before causing the device to explode. There would be a sense of vertigo as time in the centre was put in sync with time outside again, and the frozen Nonpracticing Magi would begin moving.

Meanwhile, Akira Kariya was still her prisoner, meaning that the entire case was closed. The NYPD would be coming, and, well, there would be questions...

[B][I]Aftermath[/i][/b]

Once everything was settled, the Agents returned to their HQ, where Heinz Harper praised them all on their valor, and formally introduced the two new 'unofficial' members, Silas von Wainright and Omega.

"These two, as part of the deal, will be staying in the Agency Building," spoke the man, "and I expect you to give them only a minimum of harassment; they saved many lives today because of their actions. Not that our official Agents slacked off, of course; Ms. Carlton," he was referring to Thaz, "you did well."
