"Mine is safe and sound," Morph replied, now guessing what those flashes of light had been early in the hour - something happened to the other reporters' equipment. He'd get the details from Odin later.
He turned to Elias, not switching the phone off, "Odin suggests we go drinking tonight, you're in?"

As Astral had been trying to get to her feet, the violent shaking of the ground caused her to fall over yet again. She was sure she was crying now, but the rain disguised it. At seeing more flame shoot out she cried out for John to stop the fighting, sure she was about to have a nervous breakdown here in the middle of the mud and rain. She looked up as he offered her his hand, shakily taking it and pulling herself to her feet. She limped slightly, her leg now hurting from her fall. She just wanted to get somewhere safe so she could curl up and cry.

"Sure." Elias gave back with a shrug, thinking it was actually a good idea. Not just because getting somewhere dry later the day was a promising thought but also because it had been quite a time since he had last been out for some drinking with some guys. "He´s still over there?" he asked, referring to Odin.

While the flame was much weaker than the previously ones it had made him fall backwards, allowing John that time to get to his feet. He layed on the ground for a moment in pain from the fire that had gotten him in the face but saw Astral about to leave with John. "Astral!" he shouted yet again, not wanting her to go with him. He tried in vain to get back to his feet and managed to do so after a few attempts.

Holding onto Astral's hand, he wasted no time, in dashing off towards where he saw Avalanche, his feet slipping underneath the mud, as the rain continued to downpour. "We're getting out of here!" He told her, his clothes and hair matted to him, from the rain.

Maya kept her footing and then seeing Astral and John running their way she sighed in relief. "They're coming. Let's go." She told Lance.

Looking back at Eclipse's shout, she saw him struggling to his feet. Right now, she would've gone with whoever had got to her first, too upset to make her own decisions, and John had done so. "I'm sorry," she called to him shakily before she ran off with John as best she could, saturated and covered in mud.

"There's a mighty good chance, yeah," Morph replied to Odin. "Elias is asking if you're still out there."

When she didn't stop and only gave him a weak apology a stream of curses followed and he slammed the ground with his fist.

::Odin raked fingers through soaking wet hair, glasses streaked with rain drops. He couldn't leave yet, and he'd be here a while. His vision was obscured now, not by the flames, but the heavy rain. It didn't keep him from going forward towards the others, but it did mean details of what'd transpired were lacking:: "Sure am; things aren't done yet. We'll meet at Hellfire at seven? That way I can change. The first round's on me."

Lance nodded. He ran towards the exit from the park, hating the rain and the mud since he was nearly slipping with every step he made.

Paige stumbled as the ground shook violently before she lost her balance and fell to the ground. By the time she got back up she saw Eclipse had got a flame thrown at him. She was NOT about to let them leave. Chasing after John she tried to get him in the back with a hard elbow to the kidney. She left the girl alone, for now.

Maya ran off to, trying not to fall as she occasionally slipped from the rain and mud under her feet.

"Okay," Morph said. He thought he'd have time to go home, change, talk to Tabitha and settle things before coming to the Hellfire, or at the very least, if she couldn't stay, get Mark and then call the others to agree on a more baby-adapted place.

Seeing Avalanche head towards the exit, John soon also spotted Siryn appear, who looked wet but unharmed. She too made her way, along with Maya. He hoped Lucy had gotten out of the way, though his worries were blocked as he felt a sharp pain in his back, as someone hit him, or did something there. His hand dropping from Astral's he stumbled in the mud, a muffled 'f*ck' escaping his lips. Not allowing himself to completely fall, despite the sharp pain, John tried to catch his breath, and keep on running, his hand finding Astral's again.
