"I'm fine," she replied, a little less susceptible to the ground shaking but still off balance. She looked a little bit like she was doing a strange dance in the middle of the protest area. "You?"

When Lance finally slowed down straightened up in the crowd, he hear the sirens going off. Police or firemen, he couldn't guess, but he turned his head in all directions, trying to see how far he was from Pyro. Maybe splitting up wasn't such a good idea, after all...

John gave a short nod, secretly glad that he wasn't about to be left alone in this mess. Taking a shaky breath, as he looked around at the various people hurrying towards them, he took hold of Astral's hand. Turning he began to run as fast as he could, weaving his way through the crowd that had now grown to a larger size, his fingers read to ignite another flame, if he had to.

::Odin slowed from a run to a jog to let the other man pass him. He had the emotional claim, whereas he himself was acting a bit from perception and a bit from morality. The flames continued, and he remained alert, whilst silently willing the rain to come as a downpour and extinguish them. Pyro and Astral began to back away, and he whipped his head around to Paige.:: "He's trying to run."

As John took off she looked around briefly before chasing after him. Moving past people she tried to keep up with him. She was a fast runner as it was, thanks to all of her training.

"Fine," Logan muttered as he got to his feet. He looked back to see something kicking off where Pyro was, but there were a few mutants taking care of it. "We need to get the humans to safety."

Astral looked towards Eclipse, her tearful eyes meeting his own before she turned on her heel, running with John, holding his hand tightly. The running felt good, it felt instinctive. When it came to fight or flight, she knew which she preferred. She just wanted to get out of here before she or John got hurt. As they began to run through the crowds, she extinguished her light, not only the extra glow, but her entire form. There was nothing coming from Astral now, looking normal and dull, since she knew it would make them harder to track by sight.

"F*ck!" he shouted when John began to run away with Astral. Not caring if he was injured in the process he sprinted after them.

"They're not going to listen to us if John keeps firing flames," Ty replied to Logan.

::Odin let the other man by, the one Paige had called "Eclipse," and stopped a moment to catch his breath. He was many things, but an athlete was not one of them. Escape was easy, prolonged physical activity less so. He closed his eyes, let his sixth sense take over through the chaos around them. As though a wish came true, the rain grew worse, and it began to more heavily downpour. The flames around them began to extinguish.::

Logan cracked his neck as he saw John begining running off through the crowd. "C'mon," he said to Ty, turning and running to the other mutants that had been going after the Brotherhood to find out what was going on. If he was surrendering, then they wouldn't need to fight.

Looking ever which way as they ran, John pushing through the people, not caring if they fell over, or got pushed into one another. He tried to spot any of the other Brotherhood members, but with the rain and the chaos, that was almost impossible to do. "F*cking sh*t-" He mumbled underneath his breath, a flame in his hands, as he looked over his shoulder, before shooting it behind them, despite the now worse rain, trying to put a stop to who ever was chasing them. His grip on Astral's hand tightened, as he picked up his running pace.

Typhoid took off after Logan, heading in the direction of Husk, Odin, and the others.

It was getting harder for Paige to keep up with them, due to the heavy downpour. Still, she continued to chase after them. Getting close to John now she went to tackle him to the ground in hopes of getting the flames to go out. She wasn't exactly sure how his powers worked, just that it seemed he could control fire.

As the rain fell harder, Astral was slipping in the mud as she ran and she held onto John tighter. When he fired flame behind them, she let out a cry of fear, not sure who was behind them, but was terrifed he'd just killed someone. "John, don't!" she begged.
