Rally for Rights

[Avalanche]

Lance marched through the crowd, slouching slightly to look less noticeable. He sent small waves of vibration through the ground to the center of the events as he walked, aaand here goes another one, and another one...

"Oh my god!" he exclaimed, attempting a panicked face. "Scary mutants!" This was his attempt to pass for an average frightened human, mixed with his wish to mock their fear.

[Typhoid]

"Must be hell to look in a mirror then," Typhoid said behind him, catching up.

[Odin]

"Paige, I'll tell you a story about how I've been through worse later," ::Odin said, and then came the mild tic, his lip curled for a brief instant, and then his expression was normal again. He held his hand out to her, both a gesture of invitation and one to keep them together through the rest of the crowd.:: "But we've got to get going. I can find her through the light bursts."

[stjohn]

Looking up, he spotted the Xavier group breaking apart, and going their separate ways. Lucy having gotten lost in the crowd, John assumed, leaving just him and Astral. Getting another flame in his hand, he encircled himself and Astral, hoping that would bring some sort of protection, though against someone like Wolverine, it wouldn't be much.

[Husk]

Sighing Paige looked over at Logan briefly before glancing around, "Fine...just, hold on a sec." She said, grabbing a hold of some of her skin she ripped it all off. Now fire resistant, she discarded her old skin carelessly on the floor. Un-phased by having just ripped off her skin she began to follow Odin.

[Everyone Else]

::Flames raining down upon a group of people only have one basic effect: panic. The protesters tried to get around it, though the flames encircled him. Several of them called for help, while others continued to point out that *this* was the problem they had spoke of. Of course, there were prayers.

The second batch of camera equipment was destroyed by the light burst, and the press was beginning to get angry. Those in the vans began to circle around, to take what footage they could from the safety of their vehicles.::

[wolverine]

Logan nodded shortly at Odin and Paige before he looked around the area again. The main issues were coming from John and the glowing girl, and the earthquake mutant. Ty had gone over alone, so he broke into a mild run to join her and help her take down this Brotherhood lackey.

[Avalanche]

Lance heard someone responding to his words and halted. "Huh?" he frowned, turning around to see a red-haired woman standing in front of him. She looked vaguely familiar; he had no idea where from, maybe from Xavier's, but that didn't matter, he barely remembered anybody from his brief stay in that school.

"The f*ck do you want, missy?" he inquired, raising his hands in a questioning gesture.

[Odin]

::At another point in time, Odin would smirk at the display of Paige's power, congratulate her on the control, and make a remark about dressing appropriately. Now wasn't the time, as he had other matters in mind. Another light burst, and he weaved through people using entirely his sixth sense.:: "Try not to do anything that'll look bad; that's exactly what they want."

[astral]

Astral gasped quietly, backing up against John as the flames swirled around them, feeling the heat. "I don't feel good about this," she whimpered to him as her back pressed against his own. "What do we do?"

[Typhoid]

Ty simply stood her ground. "Stop what you're doing," she said, calmly but loud enough to be heard, "or I'll stop it for you."

[Morph]

Morph got to a much safer place now, and he also noticed there were police and firemen gathering; he kept close to them, knowing his journalist badge was the best excuse, and, climbing onto a nearby bench, continued taking shots of the commotion.

"I wonder if we can fit it into the first issue," he said in a distracted tone. Now that he was in a safe spot, he acted in a more relaxed way.

[stjohn]

Slowly trying to move the circle of fire farther away from his and Astral's form, he glanced over at her, his lip being bit in concentration, at all the fire he was attempting to control. "We should move. Fire should hopefully keep people back, and the cameras too- Think you can give us some light for extra coverage?" He then added, figuring the would need all the help they could do, as slowly he began to back up, the fire moving with them.

[Husk]

"I plan on doing the exact opposite, actually." She told Odin with a tiny smile as she continued to follow behind Odin.

[Golem]

"Not the best publicity mutants can possibly get if those brotherhood people are behind it." Elias said with a small sigh, climbing the bench to sit next to Morph. He had seen hatred against mutants and if there was something for sure than it was the fact that mutant stirring havoc at an event like this were just stirring it.
