A faint message managed to get over the comm and John could just about hear it as the stern voice of Laura growled at him

[i][b]We must incapacitate Storm. As a team[/i][/b] then another slightly more faint due to the howling of the wind and the noise of the rain hitting what ever it landed on [i][b]John, I know it is Storm, but we have got to attack. Try and keep her busy and, maybe help me get to her. Plasma, can you fire pot-shots at her? Shadow King does not know how to use her powers like she does, she is feral. We need to take her down. Now.[/i][/b]

At least, John thought - someone was taking charge - starting to formulate a plan of attack, and best of all it wasn't him. The last transmission that had come over the comm before they had all shorted for what ever reason had requested that John try and distract Storm, and one thing had come to him, maybe he could play on her fears? 

Not being able to tell Laura what his plan was he closed his eyes and focused his power, making it look like he was sinking in to the ground (the effect was more like a life going down the actually sinking) and stared to burrow under the ground, as he was not that deep underground anyone standing above where he was burrowing would feel slight tremors under foot as John began to move, eventually popping up out the ground like a Mole behind where Storm was floating and shooting off her powers.

Johns plan in his minds eye was to shoot up and grab a hold of storm and encase her in an earthen tomb hoping that her fear would break who ever had a hold on Storm.

Burrowing back down John shot out of the earth and hoped against hope that his plan would work or at least do something...
