    Chaos ensued. Xia wasn't sure what was going on, but she knew that it was big, and probably something she didn't want any part of. Not dumb, she thought to herself in regards the woman in the cage.

    To her satisfaction, the guard in front of her cell left to contain the situation. Perfect. Her eyes remained closed as she stayed in her seated position. A subtle golden glow enveloped her hands.

    Suddenly, a ghostly impression of her fist appeared outside the cell and lightly tapped the button to open her cell.

    “ God damnit. I just screwed up.” He thought as he saw what had gone down, this bridge destruction is his fault, people... oh God the people!”

    Then he saw the armed figures and took advantage of them freaking out, he swiftly snaps his gloves on and triggered a thermo rush. Pyrotechnic fury erupts from his gloves palms as he flame throwers into the apparent terrorists briefly while attempting a tactician retreat away from where the vibrations were.
    Liquid flame doused the terrorists, sending several fleeing in panic and at least one over the side....a falling star into the abyss below.

    But fire knows no good or evil, and with the panic of the bridge cracking the flame does not pick and choose its targets among the innocent and guilty. Flames make their way upon several of the bystanders trying to get away....igniting fires that forced others to navigate around and further bottlenecking the bridge.

    Behind him....gunshot rained out as other small groups of gunman fired into the air in an attempt to corral the bystanders into fleeing, what had been their original plan.....simply out of order, as the bombs would have been later.


    Of course, now so near to the communications device that now dangled from the man draped over her back, it was enough to pique her curiosity. Shattering glass, gunshots, and a host of other things over the static crackle.

    What are you after, People of Ian?

    This was clearly some staged operation, and everyone did their bit in the work. Yet it seemed that somebody went off script. The bridge, in fact, wasn't clear. And from what she knew, it was Red's only way out.

    Human quarry in tow, Kinu sped forward into the crowd retreating from the rumbling and further into the escalating danger; and as she sprint ahead, she surveyed the bridge's structure; its railings, its suspensions, and the height and distance to cross to the Terminal across the way.

    And the soon to be chaos he was sure. His umbrella in one hand, his other double checks the revolver and readies to use it just in case, though he keeps it hidden from view still.
    Both could see the terminal ahead, thankfully having been closer to that side when the bombs went off. Kinu could already feel the bridge beginning to wobble and collapse beneath her...

    The door to the terminal is smashed open from the inside....and the red haired woman from behind appears in it, waving her arm desperately and shouting. "This way! Everyone this way before the bridge gives out! Inside!"

    Owen grabs whomever he can nearby (physically or with his psychokinesis), if there is anyone, using Odin’s Eye to best supplement his chances and give him a heads up, and tries to make it at best speed (with any innocents obviously, if possible).

    At this point he stopped being fire blaster, trying to help Owen, Kinu, and others to the spot as the bridge was collapsing. He, suddenly has the feeling these terrorists may not be bad guys.

    He suddenly got a chill spot n the inside

    From the shadows Selma see this and begins cursing, knowing there was only one thing she could do. Pulling her guitar off her back and setting it aside, she rushed as fast as she can toward the situation, gritting her teeth as she wonders how she could assist the people in danger.

    Realizing at the moment she had one option, she begins grabbing and pulling anyone within arms reach to safety, jaw clenched as she tried pulling them to safety, all other thoughts leaving her mind in her single-minded desire to help those who needed help.
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    As chaos reigned, the woman basked in the moment briefly.

    Not the preferred method, surely... but one does as needs must.

    To say nothing of just how hungry she was. With he runes preventing escape now partially seared off, and her prey scrambling; it was time to hunt, and feed. So with an unseen grin, and a surge of ?!?!?! the woman slammed into the 'coffin lid' again, and again. The sound echoing through the prisoner transport as she literally began tearing through her metal confines.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    The guards in front of her cell moved to contain the situation, leaving her clear and unwatched.
    The situation was getting more precarious. Something was happening all around him, simply waiting isn't going to be viable anymore. Moving in closer to the front of the cell, Matthias quickly considered his options then made his decision. Reaching out with his telekinesis, he attempted to invisibly 'feel out' the exterior, seeking out the locking mechanism.

    Her ghostly fist taps against the outside panel....and though she succeds in downing the barrier, her fist manages to fudge several more keys in the attempt...

    ....and something on the roof of her cell flicks open with a sudden intense hum building up within it. Outside on the panel the text "Cell Purge Initiated" is displayed.

    People from different walks of life, different upbringings and ways.....all suddenly united under one common goal.

    Each manages to save lives, Owen carries some of the slower civilians to safety, Levin redeemed his earlier actions with his assistance, and Selma pulled a child and her mother from the abyss.

    Those rebels working on the terminal side of the bridge urged the civilians along from the rear, helping the slow, the old and young as best they could....but time was running out...

    Success! The barrier dropped in front of her; the only thing between herself and freedom was simply walking out. ...And seven guards and a handful of escorts.

    "..."

    What was that noise? Something on the ceiling suddenly flicked opened and emanated a loud humming noise. Whatever it was, it didn't sound good.

    She hastily stepped toward the opening and poked her head out to quickly see if the rest of the guards were distracted enough for her to slip out unnoticed.

    Outside, everyones attention seemed to be in the direction of the smoke plumb coming from the corner cell.

    As luck would have it however, one of the guards happened to glance back and catch her poking her head out the cell.

    "The ****...." He turned and started towards her, reading his weapon.

    !!!

    One of the guards noticed her checking things out and was heading right for her. There were a few ways she could handle that, two of which would likely get her killed right away. She could fight... and risk getting shot; stay in her cell... and get shot and succumb to whatever the cell was about to do; or, she could do both.

    The guard was quickly approaching, and she had an idea. She looked up and gauged how high the ceiling of the cell was. It looked high enough.

    One step. Two steps. As if walking up a flight of stairs, Xia scaled the empty air of the cell and laid down flat. She was a few inches from touching the ceiling, which should have been high enough to avoid the guard when he rushed in to stop her.

    His attempt to feel out the outside leads him to the panel and the trigger to open the barrier, which slowly phases away once pressed.

    So much chaos...the guards were more than preoccupied. Ah, well. They'd had their chance to listen. Then again, they probably couldn't afford his help to begin with.

    Though perhaps witness time.to make his own advice....when an opportunity presents itself, it should not be swandered. Omu to.inch towards the entrance to his cell, close enough to hopefully distract any nearby guards as his pupil-less eyes glared at them. "Seems like the perfect time for me to take my leave," he rumbled. "Adios..." He chuckled, seemingly disappearing into the darkness of his own cell.

    The Guard chases her into the cell, and thankfully his attention span overlooks the text on the panel.

    Coming into the cell scans the area, pointing his weapon left, then right, quickly checking his corners....and finally pointing it up to scan the roof.
