There wasn't exactly a shield or anything anymore separating the groups, and thankfully they seemed to at least outnumber the others, so that was something right? Of course she knew next to nothing about what their power sets aside from the obvious sort of thing. Namely the fact that Abyss attacked people with bandage tendrils or whatever and Reaper just seemed to really be happy with his scythe. Well, that was all they could do right? Just a sharp pointy object and some makeshift whips or whatever, no problem. At least that had been what she had hoped anyway. Reaper ended up attacking [i]her[/i], swinging at her with his scythe, which now that she noticed it seemed to have something humming around it that was a bit odd. He managed to slash her across the back, as she twisted to try and block using her wings, and she felt her movements suddenly jolt and slow, as apparently he had some sort of paralysis ability which was why she was majorly slowing down and her movements were more stilted. [color=silver]"Okay, now that just sucks, seriously?"[/color] she commented, trying to figure out a way to maybe burn through whatever he had done a lot more quickly. Meanwhile Abyss was back to striking at the group with the tendrils that he controlled charging towards both Jade and Ed. Luckily for Ed, he didn't end up grappled by him, unfortunately for Jade, she was more or less getting suffocated by the tendrils as they had a firm grip on her. Clearly they weren't too thrilled by what they had done to Fatale, and were definitely getting a lot more vicious in their attacks, at least partially. Reaper whirled around and manage to gash Ed across the arm, and he'd start bleeding a bit from the injury, however that wasn't all. He'd feel something starting to slow his movements and making it hard to move in general. If Reaper ended up hitting him again, odds were that it would end with him being paralyzed from the effect entirely. Thalia took a deep breath and let out a breath of fire, managing to singe Reaper a bit from it. Currently she was debating about attempting something else to get the paralytic out of her system, but more or less had decided against it. [h3]Abandoned Building[/h3] Shocker glanced around the area to see whether or not it would be worth it to continue fighting. He had several injuries from the explosion, and saw that they did too, but he also knew that he was still outnumbered and likely would fall fairly quickly. He said nothing, before he took off running in the direction that Feral had gone, leaving just the three of them outside of the building, with the other Brotherhood members who were still knocked out from the explosion. [color=007236]"Okay, well, that went a bit better than expected honestly. Then again, they kind of knocked themselves out with regards to everything. Seriously, well, we might want to see about catching up with the others, see if they found anyone..."[/color] Mary commented with a bit of a shrug, looking at the building in front of them. [color=7ea7d8]"I mean, hopefully nothing horrible happened or whatever while we nearly got blown up or something,"[/color] Pietro added, but he tilted his head to the side, noticing something that was starting to occur, or at least noticed something off. [color=7ea7d8]"Uhhhh... Anyone else think that building looks [i]really[/i] unstable? Or is it just me?"[/color] he ended up asking Cass and Mary. Paying more attention now, Mary's eyes grew wide as rubble started falling from the building, and it started [i]collapsing[/i]. The ground began to shake as vines instantly shot upwards around the building, and she more or less was holding it up, kind of anyway. [color=007236]"Ok, they need to get out now, since otherwise that thing will be coming down and I don't know how long I can keep it standing."[/color] Meanwhile inside of the building, the mutants who had been hiding out finally seemed to trust Guin at least somewhat, more or less enough to follow her out of the room considering the fact that Sabretooth seemed to be going crazy and clawing at his own neck. Carolina though would feel her hold on Sabretooth slipping, before after a moment, she was ejected from his body entirely and thrown back into her own. Lance had more or less just been keeping an eye on everything, before he noticed that Sabretooth started growling, and instantly knew that he likely was in control again. Which was not a good thing considering the fact that the three of them didn't really have much in the way of combative powers. His were the closest that they had, and he didn't use them for fights, he used them for defense and the art of healing people and the art of [i]not[/i] dying. Sure, they could be fairly offensive, but he didn't tend to use them that way at all. He instantly threw up a shield of light near where he and Carolina were, one which Sabretooth instantly started pounding on (since he was clearly not thrilled at Carolina taking control of his body), and because of the force of his attacks, the shield was already starting to crack from the hits. This was bad, this was really bad. However he started hearing the sound of something cracking, as a large piece of rubble from the roof came down onto the shield, and it shattered entirely, and Lance fell backwards onto the ground, coughing a bit from that whole thing. Now he wasn't too sure what to do, as there wasn't a whole lot now between where they were, and where Sabretooth was. Deciding to at least attempt something useful, he managed to make a bit of a spear of light and threw it at Sabretooth, which managed to hit him in the shoulder and do some damage though so yay for that, but it wasn't a whole lot. More rubble started coming down from the ceiling much more quickly, and something would be painfully obvious to all three of them at this point. This building was coming down, and it was coming down [i]now[/i].
