Thunder, wind, rain, and lightning rule the sky! The previously weather-perfect gala has been put to the mercy of the elements, thanks to Spark Plug. The elements did not seem to really care who they harmed, as both Selene and her minions ended up being buffeted by the rain and cold. Most horrifying to Selene, her hairstyle was becoming [i]ruined[/i] with the water - perhaps that was why she was screeching? [color=CDC0CF]"Gah, cease this rainstorm at once!!! It's ruining my fit!"[/color] Selene shouted, somehow making her voice heard over the din. [color=f7941d]Mutant Underground Table - [/color] Mystique was knocked unconscious and critically injured, making at least one less minion/victim of Selene that was actively trying to kill all the mutants of Genosha. The power of lesbians working together :) Had this entire relationship developed today? Yes. But Ben still held Max somewhat tenderly as Max ran back and kissed him. He didn't voice that a not so small part of him was tired of rushing off to Casper's rescue. He didn't want to always have to get Casper out of trouble. And he felt guilty for feeling resentful over it, and then he felt annoyed for feeling guilty. Emotions [i]sucked[/i]. Ben hesitated, before rushing after Max. Jack Wayne, aka Legion, sized up Moneta. "You're pretty tough for a lil' lady," Jack Wayne said. "But I reckon that you're fixin' for a beatin' all the same." He glanced over at Andy, Zarina, and Echo. "I've got her handled, if you'd like to go stop one of the others." Was it overconfidence? Probably. But then again, Legion was an omega level mutant. Jack Wayne was ready to hop into the saddle. He pushed Moneta back telekinetically, slamming her into one of the mushroom tables, food and drink spilling onto her clothes, ruining them. She'd hit her head pretty hard in the process and definitely had a concussion, her vision swimming and she was seeing double. However, she wasn't down for the count - not yet. Jack Wayne was confidently walking towards her. [color=f7941d]Shi'Ar Bartender Set-Up[/color] Veil nodded approvingly, seeing the storm that Callie had wrought come to fruition. It reminded her of demonstrations Storm would make at the Xavier's Institute when she was a student there - there was something about the raw, natural power that commanded attention. There was one flaw, however, in a lightning storm... particularly for someone who had just been granted adamantium skin, [i]metal skin[/i]... James was a respectable 5'10", so while he wouldn't ordinarily be considered a lightning rod, well... Perhaps Xavier's school should've supplemented their science curriculum - maybe then Veil would've instantly spotted the problem. Or perhaps Selene's spell should've allowed for more higher brain functions and thought, rather than having her enchanted minions going off of pure impulse and a tendency to cause destruction. Nope, instead of thinking about how [i]easy[/i] it would be for James to get hit by lightning, Veil instead was terrorizing people. No one was really fighting back against her, and she didn't feel like going after the Underground people, they had enough attention at the moment. [color=f7941d]Midway Between Shi'Ar Bar and Underground Table[/color] [color=DBA1DE]"JAAAAAMES! WHAT THE HELL!"[/color] Casper screamed, nearly pissing himself as James tried to get [i]both[/i] of them electrocuted. His beautiful pink dress had gotten torn up in the struggle and Casper's heart was beating wildly. He didn't have Ben here to save him. [i][b]He didn't have Ben here to save him[/b][/i]. But luckily(?) his baby brother, Jack, came dashing to the rescue. [color=DBA1DE]"Jaackie! What do you mean you're going to be the one to kill me?! And how is James metal?! Why is Max evil??? What the hell is happening here I thought we were having a paaaarty?"[/color] Casper whined. James lunged at Casper and hit him in the throat. Casper fell backwards onto the ground, thankfully not getting trampled as people were doing their best to avoid James at the moment. Ordinarily, Casper would've [i]loved[/i] having James on top of him, going for his throat. But right now, he was both horny [i]and[/i] scared. [color=DBA1DE]"Uh uh uh someone help meeee!!"[/color] Casper's eyes glowed blue and a blue aura covered his hands. A spirit formed next to him, one intimately familiar to both James and Jack. [color=A4FFFC]"What have you idiots gotten yourselves into without me?"[/color] And then, mere seconds later - [i]CRACK!!!![/i] James was hit by lightning. James' mutation could not adapt in time. James is hurting [i]badly[/i]. "What the hell... Why is James metal?" Ben blurted, rushing onto the scene. "Cassie, you good?" [color=f7941d]Near the Asgard Bartender Set-Up[/color] "Babe, you're fucking insane, you can't beat Magneto [i]and[/i] Polaris!" Marrow hissed, grabbing Sunshine's arm and forcing her to stop. Sunshine glared at her for a moment, before Marrow continued. "Not without me, anyways," she added, before giving her wife a brief but passionate kiss. Someone's firework-like powers went off behind them, giving the kiss a much more romantic scene than their surroundings would have implied. [color=#DAF7A6]"I hate you,"[/color] Sunshine said lovingly. She generated a small ball of disease in her hand, only for Marrow to shake her head. Marrow snapped off more bone spikes and handed them one at a time to Sunshine. "Put your disease on these, babe - and throw them at the fuckers." [color=#DAF7A6]"Alright, just be careful,"[/color] Sunshine requested, not wanting to accidentally make Marrow sick. She imbued the first bone spike with disease and chucked it, aiming for Magneto's neck. Fortunately, he was wearing his party clothes and not any sort of armor. Her aim was true, as such was her mutant power. The bone spike went through, as Magneto for whatever reason didn't notice, didn't react fast enough, and hit him in the stomach. It wasn't thrown hard enough to pierce, more of hitting and falling to the ground, but that was enough for the disease to begin to take hold. "What did you give him, by the way?" Marrow asked. [color=#DAF7A6]"No idea,"[/color] Sunshine admitted. [color=#DAF7A6]"Hopefully just enough to get these fields down... But we gotta deal with Polaris still."[/color] Polaris was right behind them - and not all too happy. Uh oh.
