Tereza Rozanov wrote:"<Go!>" Tereza yells in Russian as the serpentine construct leaps through the steam for the humanoid torch. She tries to reinforce the large construct as much as possible, but the most she can do under direct flame is delay the inevitable. Ice begins coating Tereza's arms and the temperature in the hallway continues to drop to counter the fire man's own temperature generation. "<Hey, fuck-face,>" she yells at the torch, "<What's your name so I know what to tell them when I turn you in at the infirmary?>"

Chase Delacroix wrote:Chase quickly turned and fired a shock arrow at the unsteady figure, preparing for close combat as it flew.
Tereza Rozanov wrote:"<Maybe if you employed people who were more photogenic or could get onto a news site now and again,>" Tereza retorted before lunging into what was left of the large construct. The ice caught her and pulled her in, the construct expanding to contain her as the arms reformed. The temperature around it spiked downward. At a certain point, somewhere below freezing, water vapor can actually go from gas to solid without hitting that pesky liquid state. Which leads to strange things happening, like snow in the middle of corridor in a secret facility in Russia.
Samantha McManus wrote:"Mind your own business," Sam sends to the telepath as she zeroes in during the gap, probing defenses.
Narrator wrote:The arrow hits the figure right in the shoulder, making it stumble for a second and pause to yank it out as electricity still arcs from it. The arrow clatters to the ground and a familiar-sounding 'snikt' sounds through the general chaos just before X-23 bursts down the hallway towards Chase. Her eyes are unfocused and her body language seem uncertain. She leaps at Chase, twin-claws arcing through the air, withdrawing at the last second and instead of slicing through Chase's arm she 'only' shoulder-checks into him with her considerable momentum.
Will Stanton wrote:"Oh, you bitch," Will growled, shooting a metal spike out to try to pierce Teresa's sister's shoulder.
Samantha McManus wrote:"I'm sorry, am I bothering you? That seems like it must take quite a bit of effort..."
Reasoning that the defenses are strongest around the telepath, Sam tries to focus her attack around where the field is extended to encompass Miss Kinney, aiming to squeeze the narrow part of it and force the woman to let go and defend herself.
Nash Riley wrote:I won't be much help against mind controlled Ms. Kinney, better to let Chase and Sam handle it.
i have no idea what the Russian woman can do, I'll just leave her to Will for now.
The fire guy, surely there must be some sort of fire suppression equipment down here.
Nash uses his eyes and powers to try and find something to use. If he can't find anything close, he will look for accessible water lines.
Tereza Rozanov wrote:The streams of flame keep the construct's growth in check, but not its movement. Tereza punches one of the construct's fists at Flashfire. At the last second though, the fist splits open into four separate tendrils that try to wrap him up.
Chase Delacroix wrote:Chase spun with the hit and managed to keep his footing. He came around with an elbow aimed at her head, assuming she'd avoid it and following with a second blow to the midsection.
"Keep fighting it. I know you can."
Maybe then I have a chance.
The spike shoots out and while it pierces her uniform it glances right off her shoulder. It does manage to dislodge her from the sheer impact of it's force though, forcing her back for a moment.
Tereza Rozanov wrote:The ice armor explodes forward, fragments flying at Flashfire with possibly a chunk or two big enough to survive the heat. The rest of the construct forcibly ejects Tereza across the floor, sliding her under the hovering figure. She rolls to her feet, pelting Flashfire from behind with ice as her armor begins to grow again from her back and shoulders.
Nash Riley wrote:Hacking the computer might be what others might do, Nash seems to go for the more direct route.
Nash takes aim with left arm and shoots his grappling hook over the nozzle nearest fire guy. He then gives the line just enough of a tug to pull it down, hoping that is enough to activate it.
Chase Delacroix wrote:Chase cried out as the one shoulder was cut deeper. He gripped his bleeding shoulder reflexively before swallowing the pain as he was trained. He grabbed three shock arrows with his good arm and went after X-23, attempting to jab all three into her.
Will Stanton wrote:Growling savagely, Will shifted a fist into an anvil and tried to punch the woman REALLY HARD IN THE FACE.
Samantha McManus wrote:"Change of plans," she mutters.
Weaving her way through the fight, Sam's frame shifts this way and that as she focuses on evasion, working her way towards the telepath physically.
Tereza's sister seems disturbingly resilient, but the sheer amount of force sends her careening down the hallway and slamming into the wall, dazing her for a moment as she tries to orient herself in midair.
Narrator wrote:X-23 dodges and weaves away, throwing the occasional punch but she definitely seems sluggish. And Chase has at least some experience trying to tag her from training in the Danger Room. The fact that X-23's fighting style tends to rely on toughing out her opponents' attacks helps and Chase manages to slam the arrows into her shoulder. She convulses as the electricity discharges, her eyes focusing for a second even as her body already shakes off the effect of the tazing.
