Things were happening all too quickly and he had been distracted by John throwing a flame that he had noticed all too late when Paige had went to elbow Astral. With John almost free to go he went to try and hold him down.

Considering Lance hadn't met Syrin throughout the entire event, that seemed like a possibility.
"Okay," he nodded. "She knows where the hotel is, anyway," he wiped the water off his face though it didn't help much. "Let's get outta here..." and he turned in the direction where it seemed to be the easiest to escape the place.

Feeling the young woman being pulled off of him, John had just taken the chance to get up, when he felt yet someone else, a heavier someone else at that, holding him down. Scrambling and struggling to get free, John continued to kick the man as hard as he could, another flame ready in his hand, though due to the rain, it was taking more effort to keep it lit.

"Yeah." Maya nodded and followed Lance. Taking the hood off her head, since it was soaked. Her blonde curls slightly matted and getting more wet. "Do you think the others will get out alright?" She asked, meaning John and Astral. She could only hope Lucy had already left.

Astral let out a sharp cry of pain as she got elbowed in the face, a hand flying to the injured location. Still reeling slightly from the hit, she tried to push Paige away from her, slipping as she tried to then get to her feet.

"Don't even try it," he warned when he saw him trying to get another flame lit.

"No idea," Lance frowned, looking back upon the crowd, "with all this mess..."
There was this temptation to rush back and help the others straighten things up, but since John told them to get away, Lance thought it was wisest to do so.

The heavy rain finally nullified Morph's chances of getting a good picture, so he put the camera away. The hood was keeping him dry enough, thankfully, but he was getting cold.
"Let's try to stay and see the end of it," he suggested to Golem. It was difficult to make out anything exact in the location, but he didn't want to leave just yet.

::The rain had caused a great deal of mud to form quickly, but it was also helping the crowd to disperse. Not in an orderly way, and there were a number of bystanders remaining, but it helped a bit. Odin couldn't think of anything else but that this was literally a wash. Eyes opened, he started off in the direction of where Paige had managed to corner Pyro, along with the others. A hand reached into his pocket to find his cellular and he dialed Morph's number again.::

Maya looked back at the crowd and finally saw them. John was held down by some guy and and Astral got elbowed in the face. "Sh*t..." She murmured, feeling like running over and helping, but John had said if things got this way to run, leave, go back to hotel.

"Yeah." Elias agreed with a nod, inwardly happy that he had not even bothered to take his small notebook out yet. it was still well stored in an inner pocked of his jacket which so far was keeping off the rain. "Looks like things are calming down a little." At least the amount of earthquakes and fires had been decreasing. Possibly, those that had stirred up the panic had mingled with the crowd and gotten lost by now or some of them had.

Lance looked in the same direction. "Er-" he was absolutely at a loss what to do. "Hell, I'm about to start tossing a coin here about what to do," he made a face.
An idea quickly formed. He could still do something without going near. "To hell with it," he muttered, then raised his hands, making the ground all across the distance towards John rock and vibrate, causing people around to lose their balance. That was supposed to help John get a second to escape.

"We may still get our issue done." Morph said and then heard his phone ringing. It was Odin's number again. "Still here," Morph said, looking hard into the crowd and trying to guess if Odin was anywhere around.

::Odin should have known the other man would stay, although he'd tried to warn him regardless. As he jogged forward, another earthquake shook the ground, and he struggled for balance. He could be singed, wet, and covered in mud by the end of this. Another sigh, as there weren't enough profane words to express what he felt at the moment.:: "If you took any footage, hold onto it; most of the rest's been destroyed. Is there any chance you and Golem would like to go drinking tonight?"

Ignoring Eclipses warning, he sent the flame, though not too strong due to the rain fall, towards him, Astral's sound of pain reaching his ears. Struggling to get free, John, somehow succeeded, and he scrambled to his feet, just in time to feel Avalanche's powers working. Stumbling slightly, he quickly regained his balance, and moved towards Astral. "C'mon-" He yelled over the sound of the rain, offering her, his hand.
