Argent looked Blackheart over, trying to guage his emotions. She decided to be truthful. "I won't fight Abaddon -- he's too strong for me," she stated flatly. "But I can and will teleport all of you out, if need be."
She looked up to Saibot, who was still hovering in the air, holding her hand. "I have every reason to stay..."

Honestly for a woman you have no sense of taste" he hissed through clenched teeth while struggling to breath properly and control outward signs of the screaming his nerve cells were doing. Avatar inwardly chuckled though. He had to keep sane somehow, and talking might keep them from eventually breaking him. It would help him guard his mind.
"Oh, harsh words from the man being sliced apart. I liked the psychotic bint part though, nice touch." She tilted her head as she watched the man next to her, make another insicision. "So, do you think I would have been swayed to the side of good if I had stayed at your place? Or do you think I'm just a bad seed? And what happens if I just walk away, leaving you with no way to distarct yourself? That actually sounds like a good idea." She looked at the man beside her, "Hey what does one do for food around here?" Not getting a response she walked out of the room, in search of food.

Legacies glowered and took a step into the stairwell being relatively certain it was safe. He looked back "Well Saibot, your love trist has cost us precious time. Let's get going."
"Your soul was corrupt, I simply could not see it... Fuck, all your soul needed was a reminder of what it truley was, a demon living inside an emty husk of a human being. You disgust me. Both of you disgust me"

"Don't worry Hero," Saibot replied lightly, looking to Argent, "She'll play ball...all without you having to knock her out and frame her." He set on the ground, though the life support field didn't flicker out, remaining in place.
He brought her hand up, and kissed the back of it lightly, the helmet mask sliding away for the moment to do it. The feelings his possessed for Lei was apparent in his eyes, if not in his face, when he looked at her.
"You'll do fine beautiful, just keep out of his way....we don't want him to know your out....just be ready to get us out of there in a heartbeat."
Saibot looked back to Legacies and Blackheart, sheathing his saber, "Let's do this then....I'd suggest clearing anyone but us out of here chief, if we can't take Abaddon down, then he probably won't be taken down."

While his mask was still out of the way, Argent surprised even herself when she reached out to turn his face back to hers and kiss him deeply. When the kiss broke, she whispered to him "No matter what, I will be there for you, whatever it takes...."
That would have been nice and private, if it wasn't for the saccarine-sweet emotions that seeped out into the air around the two of them. Might as well have little pink hearts and winged angels floating around them like some kiddie-cartoon.

He nodded then, his hand moving to the small of her back, and moving her behind him protectively. The emotions really where enough so that it could turn the stomachs of anyone else around them. To sweet, almost like high schoolers in love, or those overly emotional teenagers on the internet. Only more painful, because it was right infront of them.
"Stay safe.." he whispered, as he moved to follow Legacies. Yeah, they had wasted enough time, Abaddon awaited.

As he moved towards the door she shifted to her shadowdragon form, the wings brushing his back before she sank into the nearest shadow. The only thing left was a pair of silvery draconic eyes that watched him walk away.

As the party entered the stairwell and began their descent they began to feel the stairs beneath their feet vibrate. The vibrations grew stronger and kept growing in both frequency and strength. Soon the walls themselves began to vibrate and shake as well. Cracks ran up the paint, splitting the walls. It began to feel like an earthquake as the stairs threatened to collapse from beneath them.
Floors above them rumbled as the stairwell started to tear itself apart. Through the rapidly collapsing walls the sounds of floors dropping out, walls falling apart and general destruction was loudly audible. All around them the building began to fall about their ears.
Floors below them deep in the substructure of the building itself Abaddon was laying waste to the foundation and the structural supports. His field of ruin was weaking the entire thing and his enhanced strength battering the softened material into dust was rapidly dissolving any integrity the place once had. If he couldn't get close enough to these fuckers to hit them he would do the next best thing. He would drop a building on them.
He knew they would be coming after him. He had all the time in the world. He had no doubts that he could survive the impending destruction. He grabbed one of the fallen support pillars and gripped it, his hands sinking into the material. He walked towards the door they would be coming through. It was the only uncovered entrance into the area. He stood beside it out of easy view and waited. First one through that door when they came rushing through was going to get a pillar sized asprin to the head. And the second... if the second was lucky he'd only recieve a concrete suppository for his trouble... Oh yes, he was going to make them pay and hurt them plenty.

Demise was tackled from behind by the heavy cyborg. As he was turned over and restrained two hard punches landed on his exposed gut. He puked up a spray of vomit and blood from his mouth into the face of his assailant. Pain coursed through his stomach and he came close to blacking out. Being punched by enhanced strength like that was enough to cause serious internal injuries. He'd probably survive it. And the way he looked at it, that was the bad part.
But he knew what to expect when he signed up for this. And he still had an ace up his sleeve. He expected his attacker to wipe away the mess from his face and when he did... when he did he would lock eyes and kill the fucker.

He looked from one to the other and kept turning to watch the show. Finally the girl finally stormed out the room for good.
"Just doesn't shut up does she? Eh, women. What can you do? Can't live with them, can't rip out enough of their hearts to make them learn to shut up and leave it be... Am I right?"
He delicately pulled the skin away from the body, exposing the rippling muscles beneath and the slim layer of fat in some spots. The boy was healthy that much was for sure. He grinned down into his captive's eyes and that look revealed nothing of humanity.
He let the skin fall back and pressed his palm against the exposed muscle structure of the chest. He leaned in close and whispered in the man's ear.
"I want you to scream for me..."
With that he slid his hand into Avatar's chest and began to caress the still beating heart. The heartbeat was high. Fear, anxiety, pain, adrenaline, all were contributing in parts he supposed. But such heartrates for extended times was unhealthy. He decided that he would assist his poor captive. He gripped the heart, constricting his hand around it, not allowing it to expand as far. The heart tried to push against his hand, to expand to its full size and contract as needed but it couldn't match the strength that held it firm.
He smiled a soft smile as his other hand gently caressed Avatar's face, his fingertips brushing over the pain and pleasure centers of the brain as his hand passed over them. His fingers appeared and disappeared as they moved in and out of his body, leaving no trace of their passing.
"Now scream..."

The pressure on his heart disrupted the intercardiac shunt which protected him from bleeding. How he had a hold of his heart which was protected by his rib cage and diaphragm he had no idea, but the pain was intense. His mind couldnt take it anymore, and he screamed, it was muffled by the fact that his lungs were being interfered with each time the hand reached into his chest. But he screamed.

"Mother fucker!" cursed Blackheart. "He's going to drop the building! Move out!" Blackheart wasn't sure Abaddon would be able to live through this, but wasn't much of a consolation. "Can you teleport all of us?"
It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.
When the building audibly groaned, Saibot frowned. when the building began shaking, and Blackheart made his call, Saibot had his own. He knew the risks, and what it would entitle, but he made the move.
The Dragon Saber was sheathed at his side, and his left hand clasped his right wrists. The power ring glowed brightly as energy pulsed from it.
"Watch your head" he shouted above the sound, and Blackheart asking Argent something, raised his fist to the ceiling, and willed the ring to action. The energy beam shot upward, nearing the ceiling, before expanding out in a circle, moving back to the ground, and forming a protective orb around them.
Pieces of building clattered against the energy field, and beneath the helmet, Saibot's brow sweated. He groaned quietly, speaking through clenched teeth, "I'll protect us....we can continue down after him; who knows when we'll have another shot at him" Saibot reasoned to Blackheart.
Besides, Saibot knew this was the last bit of power his ring had, in the past several days, he had spent to long using it without recharing it, and the pain of the broken ribs didn't help matters.

Cam turned a corner and heard the man scream. She wondered what He was doing to make him scream. She couldn't take anymore of it and made a quick decision, the worst her could do was kill her. She focused and turned invisable. She blended perfectly with her surroundings. Walking back to the room she stopped to think. He'd probably sence her just walking in, but if she was quick she could teleport him out. She wrung her hands and rubbed her temples, then he screamed again and she decided it was now or never....

Argent erupted up from the shadows cast by Saibot's ring, surrounding those within the field with insubstantial wings of inky blackness. "Hold it one more second, Saibot," the draconic head murmurred as the wings drew the group closer together. "We're leaving ... NOW."
They all vanished into a warm/icy darkness as she took the three of them inside herself and dove into the shadows, with only a faint argent glow around them to light the way. One heartbeat. Two heartbeats. Three ...
And they were suddenly outside in the light, in the shadow of one of the trees in the park where the fight first started, several yards from the crumbling building. Each was on their feet, facing each other, with Argent's dragonform fading down to a suggestion of silver-tinged black wings draping around her. "Is this far enough?" she asked Blackheart seriously as the building collapsed behind them.

Gravitas was but a few feet away, looking at the group over his glasses.
"Well. That eliminates the need to rush into the collapsing building to save you all." He commented, rubbing his temples. Recharging in a hurry always gave him a mild migraine. "So, is big, bad, and corrosive still upright, or have the would-be heros saved the day?"

They were out, and Saibot's shield faded away. As everyone else began to talk, he slumped down to his knees. He fought not to scream in pain, as the life support field, and it's pain dulling effects flickered.
He breathed hard, giving himself time to avoid the worst ofit, to fight through, and he didn't listen to the others.

Legacies started back towards the building. "He's still in there and if we dilly dally anymore he's gonna loose interest and leave." Tendrils lashed out at the rubble and began moving it out of the way before he stopped and looked back. "Saibot, you wouldn't happen to be able to push down on this pile of rubble would you?"

Argent stepped behind Saibot and placed her hands gently on his shoulders. This was something she rarely did, because it cost her, but she started drawing the pain out of him, into her self. It was not a Healing; it was no more than a good shot of morphine could do. However, it removed the pain without clouding his mind, coating it over with a soothing balm.

Argent answered first, her solidly black, irisless eyes meeting Legacies' gaze squarely. "No... he cannot. He is wounded." Short sentences, spoken around the haze of pain she was sucking out of him. She was going to need to vent it elsewhere soon.

He had overextended himself, that much was certain. With Argent's touch, the haze of pain lifted for a bit. He could pay attention, and he heard Legacies.
"No...can do...my Ringis running low..."
With that, Saibot unsheathed his sword, and tossed it as be he could to the symbiote. "Use it.." he said, "Laser Arrows...may come in handy.."

"You want it pushed down or moved out of the way? Gosh, it'd be great if there was a guy around here who could manipulate, I dunno, gravity!" Gravitas asked, raising a brow. The Nova extended an arm, gravity waves rippling and shifting. 'I'll assume moved... Everyone stand back. And when he comes out, I reserve the right to drop the load on him."
Concentrating, Gravitas' power began to collect above the rubble, drawing it upwards against the pull of the Earth.

Legacies caught the dagger, the power seeped into his frame once again. This was good. "You get better." He looked up at Argent. "Shadow lady. Get ready with the escape making." That other meta, Gravitas was back and moving the rubble out of the way. Not exactly what he'd planned but it'd be good enough. He stood poised and ready to strike his foe. He didn't know how the hell to use those light arrows, but how hard could it be? He'd seen Saibot do it a bunch of times, and if nothing else this dagger would come very much in handy in other ways.
