After all, he had saved Pietro's life a few turns back. [color=cc33ff]"Dear god, I think Edus has been replaced by a skrull who digs music,"[/color] she quipped. She noticed Lance decide to start flirting with the goth Asgardian chick in the middle of battle and she had to resist the urge to instruct F.R.I.D.A.Y. to record the entire reaction so Guin could make a set of reaction gifs out of it. The vines were apparently a problem, even with the goth's spell preventing any member of the X-Men from getting hurt. Iris was making flames after flames and while the vines were on fire, they weren't breaking. [color=cc33ff]"Huh, so fire does shit all to them. Lovely."[/color] Guin's mind kept bouncing back and forth, wondering if any of the weapons in her Iron Star armor would actually hurt the plants then. She considered her repulsors, uni-beam, and lasers to be different from fire - but these were magic vines, so maybe they wouldn't share her definition. There wasn't much point in wondering though - experimentation was the way to go here, so Guin shrugged slightly and let the vines have [i]everything[/i]. She fired off her uni-beam, repulsor blasts, and even used her precision laser! [i]BAM[/i]. Bethany was down. [i]BOOM[/i]. Mira was free. [i]ZAP[/i]. Neil was out. [color=cc33ff]"Hey babe, mind catching those people?"[/color] Guin called out to her husband. [color=7ea7d8]"Sure thing,"[/color] he responded as he zipped around catching people and setting them on the ground.[hr][hr][center][h3][color=12ABB0][b]Neil Spellman[/b][/color][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/3RnqLcdD/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=12ABB0]Location:[/color][/b] the Blackbird Hangar [b][color=12ABB0]Skills:[/color][/b] Telekinetic Combat [hr][/center] Vines had ensnared him, like a snake constricting around its prey. Neil really hoped that the Asgardian's spell had worked out, as he didn't want to be killed by plants of all things. His wound at least wasn't bothering him as much anymore - probably since the raw fear and terror pumping through him as the plants lifted him off the ground and into the air was one hell of a distraction. He let out a whimper/scream, kicking his legs as if that would help him somehow. Annie had been freed by one of the Asgardians and Neil's eyes widened as Stark fired off a [i]LASER AT HIM![/i] He shut his eyes instinctively, feeling the grip of the vines vanish and then he was falling. He screamed, only to feel a pair of sturdy, muscular arms catch him - he couldn't help but feel like he had just been caught by a Greek God or something. When he opened his eyes and realized that Quicksilver had saved him, he threw up slightly in his mouth. He really hoped none of the telepaths had heard that thought of his... At any rate, he focused his energy up at the two people still ensnared by the plants. He used his telekinesis and ripped apart the vines that had caught Elizabeth, before then using his powers to catch her/slow her descent to the ground. He put her down as gently as he could, before turning his attention to Iris. It didn't work at first - maybe the vines being on fire were interfering. But he tried again, hoping to free his teammate. [color=12ABB0]"Iris, can you stop flailing?"[/color] Neil asked. He couldn't really pull it off. [color=#a81a75]"Hello,"[/color] she said softly to Lance. She gave him a slight smile, although it faded when the vines charged towards them. There was work to do and a more serious nature took over her. Runa knew that they needed to retrieve this game board in order to proceed and end Loki's spell. Fortunately, she was familiar with the magic used to enchant it, as it was the same magic used to trap her inside of it. She began to chant softly under her breath, casting a tracking spell so she could pinpoint where the game had been taken. She divined the location of the game and raised an eyebrow. The game was being dragged towards a giant yellow carnivorous pod. [color=#a81a75]"There,"[/color] she called out, pointing at it. She conjured orbs of darkness in her hands and then threw them out, tendrils elongating and wrapping around the game as she played tug of war against the vines.
