She had already lost her family, and the X-Men had become a new family to her. The tragic thing was she didn't doubt what her eyes saw as the Scarlet Witch appeared, and evoked the powers of her detestable father, tearing Mary apart with metal. No, everything had been a nightmare since that day back in 2019 - violent delights would have violent ends. Her loved ones would die, over and over again. Guin was silent, staring at Mary's body in shock, and she only stirred once Cass gave her a direct order. Guin nodded, feeling the aching and pains in her borrowed body, and she switched back. The asshole she had switched with collapsed to the ground. [color=cc33ff]"Okay,"[/color] Guin told Cass with a nod, before she sprinted for the door. 

	She had been lucky that the vines holding her body had loosened, so it hadn't been too hard to get free. She was doubly lucky that when Wanda sent something flying after her as she ran, it missed. Guin blinked back tears - tears for Mary, and tears for Cass, as she was terrified she had just left her friend behind to die. She kept on running, hoping to run into someone, but she didn't. Instead, she ended up opening the door and running into what looked like a biology lab. 

	Her heart skipped a beat, as a melancholic hope came over her. Maybe this was where Magneto would be keeping any notes on the virus - maybe here would be a way to stop it. Mary had died. Her family had died. Maybe they could save a few more people. But she didn't have much time. Guin grabbed the notebook she had found, flipping through it to see the notes were in some sort of gibberish code. It'd be too hard to get it to people outside of the city now though, so the best she could do would be to try to keep it safe, and try to find the others. 

	Meanwhile, Jade found herself in a rather annoyingly deadly situation. Thalia had dealt with the person Ed had immobilized, but now they had another challenger coming at them. He had blonde hair, a cocky grin, and an oversized flamethrower strapped onto him. She noted the way he triggered the flamethrower to produce the flames, and then manipulated them. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist as the flames heated up the hallway and burns popped into existence on her skin. 

	[color=339933]"I'm going to disable the flamethrower. Edus, do what you can to slow him down. Thalia, I'd recommend going in for a kill shot,"[/color] Jade said, a bit more vindictive than normal, and she was thankful that her gas mask wasn't falling to pieces from the heat. She judged the angle and threw her angel blade, the dagger hitting the flamethrower and damaging it, although it didn't cut off the flame supply completely.
