These things were just par for the course, honestly. “Try to make a path out of here and whatever you do, keep moving toward the door. I got a feeling these things won’t stay down for long.” Molly adjusted the new shield she just acquired rather grossly. "You got it, sparkle lady," she said, saluting. Turning toward Alani, she grinned. "Can you run? Cause It's about to get Friday Night Football in here." That gave Alani pause, but she grinned rather widely. "I just had my shenanigans induced cardio allotment for the month, but, fuck, I'll try." Stupid box, who ran with boxes? Okay, not stupid, but dodging past a creep towards the door with a box made her feel like hell's pizza delivery guy. "Just don't fall down, kid." Jubilee launched a series of bright colorful explosions toward the creatures on either side of them, close enough to the monster's eyes to affect them but far enough away from the people with her that they wouldn't have to fear the same. Years of brutal fucking training certainly paid off for something, if Remy hadn't been dead she'd have sent him a novelty fruit basket. "Alani, to your left!" Break left? Turn left? Alani felt like her brains were scrambled eggs, as her focus on the door dropped and she turned instinctively. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a movement almost directly behind her that was definitely neither Jubilee nor Molly. She dropped her conscious control and flared pink as it moved through her, leaving her feeling oily and sick. "Oh my god, I'm gonna puke." "If you're gonna ralph aim it at the monsters!" Molly said, using her newly acquired shield like a snow plow or something to try to mow down the monsters as she ran. It might have surprised anyone who didn't know Jubilee well that she'd be calm in a crisis or act to protect the younger two so well but she hadn't grown up in the mansion and been trained by Remy to allow innocents to be taken out while she was around. "Less puking, more running!" Jubilee grabbed Alani around the waist as she ran by and mushed the girl toward the door. They were so close, only a few more feet and they'd be out of Avalon and back in the church, only then would she pause and regroup. "Molly, get in front of me, I don't want either of you trapped in here." “Right, don’t hurl — You can do that. I can do that.” Alani focused on keeping herself fully solid at Jubilee’s touch. That the shorter woman was guiding her movement allowed her sluggish mind to wake up a little more. The thing hadn’t felt right, not like anything she’d ever used her powers on and yes maybe that was somewhat due to Avalon, but that it felt wrong didn’t sit well with her. “Alright! We’re almost out, and then we can figure out what the fuck is going on.” "Oh I know what's going on. It's just the weird shit of the month," Molly said, using her shield to smash a puppet monster in the face. "Dang that's satisfying!" "Way to go, Mols!" Jubilee practically threw Alani the last few feet to the door and then reached around to blast several of the beasts that had been chasing after them. She waited till the last minute, allowing Molly to slip behind her and out the door. It didn't take her long to follow, backing her way out as she kept the bad guys away from the exit and looked around for the others. "Yo! Panda Express is about to leave the station folks, anyone still in here better get the fuck out right now!" |
