[b][color=#a81a75]Skills:[/color][/b] Darkness Manipulation, Darkness Constructs [hr][hr][/center]	Runa nodded slightly at what Mary said - she imagined her mother would understand and likely be more preoccupied with what had happened to Forseti than to her flowers. [color=#a81a75]"I'm sure she would appreciate that,"[/color] Runa told Mary. Runa sent out tendrils of darkness to bind her brother, managing to partially ensnare him as he continued his tirade against Midgardians. [color=#a81a75]"I stand by Midgardians as I would by any sentient creature,"[/color] Runa reminded him. She wasn't like Thor. She had never had a soft spot for Midgard. If it hadn't been for her love of Lance, she wouldn't have had much interest in the planet - certainly not more than any other person on Asgard. 

	[color=#a81a75]"You know this is not just,"[/color] Runa answered, as Forseti asked her why she was trying to stop him. The monsters Forseti had summoned were sending the X-Men flying around, yet swerving to avoid her. She couldn't deny that Forseti was behind all of this - and that her elder brother was trying to protect her, even as he was consumed by this madness and rage. She didn't want to hurt him. Runa used the darkness ensnaring him to pull him towards her - she was hoping that the stone would be visible in his hand and she could just take it from him, but she didn't see it. She wanted to ensnare him further in darkness, but it was impossible to bind him. [color=#a81a75]"This pains me, brother,"[/color] she said softly, before swinging her staff and hitting him as hard in the head as she could. It was a painfully strong blow, as her brother's head began to bleed, but he was still conscious. Runa hit him in the head again, but it wasn't as strong as the first.

[b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Telepathy, Telepathic Attacks[hr][hr][/center]	[color=cc33ff][i]Jumanji? I guess, but this is definitely off-brand for that franchise, although the newer movies are moving away from the jungle setting so who knows, maybe they'll head to Japan and have kaiju attacks in the next one?[/i][/color]	Guin was pretty used to having telepathic conversations with Pietro, but it was a little strange to be facilitating a group chat among the X-Men. She had left Runa out of the conversation mostly because she had started this in order to talk about how Runa's brother seemed like bad news - and she didn't think Runa necessarily wanted to hear stuff like that. 

	Of course, idle chitchat didn't mix very well with kaiju. One of the kaiju let out a shriek and swung its tail, colliding into Guin and she went [i]flying[/i]. For a split second, she was stunned that Pietro hadn't intervened to catch her - he was usually overprotective like that - maybe this was character growth on his part? She didn't have much time to ponder it as she hit the ground hard, her body scraped up and battered, and she could already feel the bruises forming. [color=cc33ff][i]I'll keep trying to shut him down. And if I had a suit, I'd use the suit,[/i][/color] Guin then said into the group chat, forcing her aching body to get up into a seated position, and then to rise up so she was standing. 

	Guin slowly walked in the direction of Forseti, concentrating as best as she could on telepathically attacking his mind, to bypass the barriers she had felt earlier. The barrier was as strong as ever and she couldn't get through. She stopped walking, standing still now, and tried again, and for a split second, she was inside. Guin did her best to do as much damage as she could, but he tossed her out again quickly enough. And try as she may, she wasn't able to get back in.
