At least when it comes to trying to slow down Cortez. As Bethany is unable to create any sort of shadow to try and blind Cortez, and when Carolina tries to possess Cortez, she practically gets thrown out instead. Lance looked at Max when he made his comment and laughed slightly, [color=yellow]"Yeah, sure, I can do that pretty quickly in the event you need it, but just saying, I'm not exactly worried about your powers, just would prefer to not have to use one specific one of mine in a sort of enclosed space like this unless it's literally life or death sort of thing."[/color] Pietro was only half paying attention to what it was that Max was saying, so he didn't actually hear really what it was that he had said. He was more of paying attention towards Robert who had decided that yelling at his father was a good idea. [color=7ea7d8]"Dude seriously??? I don't care for him too much but come on even I know his powers going haywire isn't his fault so why the hell are you deciding to yell at him over it?"[/color] Of course that wasn't seemingly fixing anything that they currently were having to deal with. As despite Ed's efforts, the shards were not being bubbled or anything like that, at least not enough to really matter. The shards were flying around still hitting anyone still nearby, which considering most people were trying to deal more with Cortez himself, that at least meant that they were out of the way of it. Aside from a few people. The shards only caused a few minor cuts on Ed that were more of just an annoyance, Robert didn't really get injured from that at all, and for Pietro a weird thing happened again. He didn't actually move to avoid them, having been distracted by what he viewed as Robert's stupidity for the yelling, and despite that, the shards seemed to go, almost just sort of around him not actually at him. That was definitely not normal to say the least. The walls a few of the panels were starting to come apart, not exactly a good sign. Mary was partially focused on both instances of chaos going on, however her attention shifted more specifically towards Cortez, as he likely could cause more damage then Magneto could if he kept using his own powers on people. The stability though of the hallway they were in right now was getting to be concerning though as the walls kept shaking all around them. Pulling a seed from her pocket, she sent it flying into one of the walls, vines starting to sprout a bit now and giving more stability to the hall so at least it wouldn't immediately result in them dying if Magneto started trying to pull the walls apart. Her attention moving towards Cortez again, who seemed to be almost smiling a bit at Max. "Oh? Who said I was truly running? Seemed more like I was trying to just watch what was going on. However this is starting to be a bit more fun in general isn't it?" he said with a laugh, before he seemingly started using his own powers again to cause chaos. Though it wouldn't be overly apparent at first who it was that had gotten hit with it. Instead of waiting to see more specifically what was going on, Mary used the vines that were along the walls now of the corridor and sent them charging straight at Cortez, some of them were covered in thorns as they hit Cortez, stopping him from continuing his power usage, while a non-thorn covered vine wrapped around his spare hand that Max didn't have entangled. [color=007236]"Give it up this is getting insanely ridiculous at this point!"[/color] she snapped at him, clearly a bit annoyed with Cortez at this point. "You all think you know everything, but you don't, not really," he said, laughing a bit at them again. Lance meanwhile also had decided to try and blind Cortez like Bethany had attempted to, but the light missed Cortez's head, as he was moving a bit making it difficult to truly aim or anything like that.
