He coughed out a few words to her, the pain and cold both sinking in further as the ice lodged in him continued to pierce his chest. [Color=aba400]"Heh. I've got a bit of a chest cold, but other than that I'm alright."[/color] Max coughed again, pain filling his abdomen with the sudden movement. He closed his eyes for a moment, allowing himself to just nestle in the strangers arms as he awaited for help, the calmness of Callies powers overtaking any panic he should be feeling about his potential death. After a few quiet breaths he heard Leightons voice, his eyes shooting wide open as he finally heard back from her. [Color=aba400]"Its Leighton."[/color] he coughed out, speaking through pained words. [Color=aba400]"She said they're in trouble, Hellfire Club caught them and is attacking them. She wants us to check police scanners. If we hurry maybe we-"[/color] Suddebly the connection cut off and it was as if Leighton hadn't existed. It didn't feel like a failure or mishap from his end, just...a cut connection. Harry held onto Max, allowing the blonde boy to use him to support his weight. The tears from earlier felt cold against his silk shirt, feeling Maxs ragged breathing against his chest as he awaited for help to arrive. The dropping dome allowed for the cold air to disperse into a wider area, the cold day of December still biting at them but with less force than what Sapphire had unleashed. Harry couldn't tell if the joke the kid had made was due to hysteria, or if he was doing ok given the circumstances. He watched him closely and noted him closing his eyes, he hadnt thought that today he would hold another dead mutant in his arms as they passed. Just as he was about to tear up he watched Warlock spring to life and ramble on about an attack. Harry nodded for Barry to make his way over to them, asking him to hold onto Max while he went to speak with his sister. As Max exchanged arms, he felt empty. Hardly noticing the switch as he tried to process the fact that Leighton may have just died. Thick cold tears streamed down his face as the cold helped accentuate each individual one on his cheeks. Unable to handle much more his lip began to quiver as his hands began to shake. Dark clouds forming over the group but under the tree line as a heavy downpour came underway. Thick cold droplets began to splatter amongst them as Max sobbed into Barry's arms. [Color=aba400]"Shes gone. She...shes gone. I can't go back there. I WONT GO BACK THERE! They murdered her..."[/color] He gripped Barry's shirt tightly as he felt pain coming from more than just his physical injuries. [Color=aba400]"I would like to come back, if you will have me. You can supervise me all you want, I just...i can't live with the people who murdered her."[/color] His heart ached and he knew there was a chance he wouldn't be able to live with them. It would be the same pain he felt but inflicted onto Waverly instead. [Color=aba400]"I can stay outside if need be, keep my distance from Waverly I just...i just want to do whats right."[/color] Harry nodded at Max, taking in what had happened and making his way over towards his twin. Luckily they were all invisible so no one had to see how the rain was effecting his white pants. He placed on hand on Veils shoulder as he looked down and shook his head solemnly. [Color=E610B8]"Twinny, the kids hurting bad. He just lost someone he deeply cared about and I know he may have done some bad but...im sure we could all sympathise with how he is feeling. His injured by one of our own, hes hurting by the one he's lost from a group who supposedly cared for him. He seems to have raw power and i would rather have that be on a side that will nurture and care for him than one to abuse it. He said he won't go back to the Hellfire Club, which means he either comes with us, or is out there left to his own devices with a greivous wound and raw power and anger. Waverly, I know this is extremely hard on you, after what he's done. He said he'd stay outside and try his best to avoid you if need be, but if you wabted revenge...im afraid you just got it. Think it over and let me know, I'll take him with me if need be."[/color]
