Rally for Rights

[Avalanche]

Lance wasn't in the way of John's flame shot, but it made it easier for him to spot John. "Yo!" he yelled, finally catching up. It looked like someone was running after them, if you could call pushing through a crowd blocking your way in every direction running. Things didn't look good, - with the heavy rain, they looked downright disgusting.

[jonathon]

He wasn't all that surprised when a flame was thrown at him and the other mutants from Xavier's chasing after them. Letting out a growl of frustration he tried to run even faster, trying to keep himself balanced on the semi-slippery ground.

[stjohn]

John was so focused on getting away from the crowd. He heard Avalanche's voice, just before he suddenly felt himself being tackled to the muddy ground. The flame left his hand, though the device remained there. Instinctively kicking at who ever had tackled him, he tried his best to scramble to his feet. "Hotel!" John then shouted, hoping that over the sound of the rain, Avalanche could hear him, Astral as well.

[Husk]

Succeding in tackling him to the ground she let out a small grunt of pain as he kicked her in the gut. Very annoyed with him she used all of her weight in attempt to pin him down. "You're not goin' anywhere, sweetheart." Paige said, anger in her voice as well as feeling accomplished.

[Avalanche]

"How am I supposed to-" Lance shouted as he stopped, trying to sound sarcastic, but cut himself off as John and the others kept running and he was left behind. "F*ck," he muttered, turning around and making his way back into the center of things to find Maya or Syrin or hopefully both of them. He didn't see John getting pinned to the ground.

[astral]

Since Astral and John were tightly holding hands, as John was tackled, Astral was throw face first down to the ground with a heavy landing. She gasped in mild pain and shock, winded. She felt mud seeping through her dress and onto her skin, but that was the least of her worries since John had just got body tackled by some hellion. "John!" she cried as she saw the scuffle kicking off with the woman, her light reappearing like her switch had been flicked, and it had in more ways that one, for she looked angry.

[stjohn]

Struggling against the blonde's weight, John continued to kick his feet, as he fumbled with getting another flame in his hand. The muddy ground beneath them only added more troubles to this thing, as John slipped, in attempt to try and stand, and get the girl off of him.

Maya was running amongst the crowd trying to find the rest of the Brotherhood. At the moment she was right in the middle of the religious protesters. At seeing the rest she tried to find something that would get the attention off of them. She looked around then bumped into the guy she had hit. He glowered at her and he hit her in the jaw. Her head swung to the side at the impacked and she spit out some blood. She slowly looked to him, now, really trying to keep her cool, but her control was slipping.

She just turned and ran, trying to get out of this mess. Seeing Lance she ran towards him. "We need to get the f*ck out of here, before I kill someone." She said, seriously.

[jonathon]

He saw an opening when Paige had tackled John to the ground and moved towards Astral. Wincing visibly as she too fell the ground he moved over towards her, knowing John would be taken care of his concern turned fully to his friend who had fallen. "Come on, Astral." He went to help her up off the cold and muddy ground.

[Avalanche]

Seeing Maya, Lance couldn't hold back a small nervous chuckle. Her jaw with some blood trickling down probably looked like his own now. So much for a fun rally, he thought.

"Yeah," he nodded, then threw a quick glance around. "Have you seen Syrin anywhere? I frankly don't even remember what exactly she looks like." With his short time in the Brotherhood, that wasn't much of a surprise.

[Husk]

Ignoring the cry from a girl to John she noticed him try to get another flame from his lighter. As he struggled against her she became frustrated and pressed her kneecap into his back as she attempted to get his lighter from him.

[stjohn]

Thankful that the lighter was attached to his wrist, due to the wrist device, Magneto had gotten him long ago, John wasn't worried about loosing the flame. Grunting as he felt something digging into his back, he did all he could to push himself over onto his back, the flame being shot at the blonde at the same time.

[astral]

Astral felt herself being pulled to her feet, struggling out of the grasp even though she knew it was Eclipse. Astral was normally, very calm, shy and definitely not a fighter, but after everything, she was panicking, scared and in pain and she just wanted to get out of there with John. Eclipse probably would've been thanked if Husk wasn't currently hurting John and she scrambled away from him to grab Paige, trying to yank her off John. "Leave him alone!" she cried in a tearfully angry tone.

[lifedeathangel]

"I lost her way back in the beginning of all this." Maya said and gestured around. "She has red hair." She stated. She hadn't spent much time with Siryn, so she couldn't put more to her description. "She's a big girl, I'm sure she'll make it out all right. She probably even took off, before this all escalated."

[Husk]

Paige struggled to keep him down, however as the girl grabbed a hold of her she was now lifted off John. Now she was going to have to fight this girl off as well, wonderful. Twisting her own arm to get out of the girl's hold half way she turned a bit in attempt to hit the girl in temple with her elbow. This was self defense now.
