(OMG I keep typing rosalia instead of rosaria, I'm so sorry >,<) 

Paige was still deciding whether walking back into the fight was basically suicide when Rosaria addressed her from nearby. While the strange tone of her shadow-form voice was cause for only slight alarm, turning to see her skeletal visage peering out from the shadows was enough to put the little speedster's guard up.

Of course Paige felt immediate regret for a few reasons. First was the pain the move caused in her side, which earned another, immediate wince and a groan. The second was her sudden recollection of having caught a glimpse of Rosaria when they both made a run at Thundercloud. 

A lot had been going on, and it would probably take a few days for her to really process everything she'd seen and been through tonight.

Paige offered a little nod in response to the first question, taking the opportunity to size the shadowy figure up. 

[color=FFC300][b]"Y-yeah I uh ... I think I broke a rib."[/b][/color] Something about seeing her keeping her guard up was comforting, like knowing spiders are also scared of you. Swallowing hard, she peered back toward the decimated building when the other heroine spoke again.

Paige clenched a fist at her side and dropped her stare to the ground. Thundercloud. He wasn't even worried about their pathetic little attempts to stop him.

[color=FFC300][b]"I was. I-I keep hitting him and he doesn't even notice, I-I think it's those stupid grey fuzzballs he's wearing. I saw you get behind him ..."[/b][/color] Paige tried to sound like she knew what she was talking about, but the fear was apparent in the tremble she was trying to keep out of her voice. They had both tried and failed to make a mark on the man. 

[color=FFC300][b]"We need to get the others out of there."[/b][/color] her mind turned back to the heroes left inside, [color=FFC300][b]"W-we need to regroup, and get some kind of plan going ..."[/b][/color] She offered, hoping the other heroine would be onboard. To be honest, she wasn't sure if she was brave enough to run back in and try to get the others out if she didn't have a little help, superpowers or not.

Another surge of light from inside lent a sudden urgency to their plans, rainbow from one side, and the white blue of lightning from the other. [color=FFC300][b]"I-I think I can distract him if ... if you can get people out of there."[/b][/color]
