Phoebe easily blocked the first shot, but the second made it's way through, landing in her lower stomach. She fell back, keeping her grip on Echo and the shield up. The shield took little for her to keep it up so even in the midst of the pain she was able to keep Echo safe from any type of physical attack.

Echo stood up, and shouted at Zed "Light attacks might be useless, but what about sound!" Echo shoot his hand forward sending out a low pitched blast of energy, and after that began to send waves of eardrum shattering waves, directed straight at Zeb.

Zeb winced slightly. Damn, he'd have to take care of that one. After he teleported out of the way of the sound, he reached out with his mind and he grabbed a hold of Echo's mind, squeezing it painfully. It took no effort for him to fling the boy across the room. He twirled his walking stick in his hand, he chuckled. Then, running a hand over his ears, he placed a sort of barrier over them to protect his sensitive hearing from the sound waves. It wasn't enough so that he couldn't hear, but enough to keep Echo from shattering his eardrums.

Echo felt like he was just ran over. He saw the man running his fingers over his ears, Damn, he's protecting himself! Echo stayed still and speed up his body, in a matter of seconds he was able to get back up and run over to Phoebe. "We have to get out of here!" He tried to look for Zeb, but couldn't see him.

Phoebe nodded and held her stomach as she tried to stand, but was unsuccessful. She gasped in pain and for breath as the pain got worse. "I can't..." she faded off, coughing in pain.

"Phoebe!" He took her arm and put it over his own, and slowly made his way to the door of the courtroom. "While get out, just hang in there!"

"This was my favorite skirt," she joked as they made their way through the chaos. She coughed a few more times, wincing in pain as she did.

Elen snorted as she past the two younger mutants, her body taking it's diamond form, "And my dear this is why we wanted you to stay home," she said pushing by them. Some of the guards gave this hude hulking figure a frightened glance and tried shooting at her, but the bullets bounced off of her as she made her way towards Craig.

Echo, and Phoebe made there way outside the courtroom. "I should probably go back in there and see if I can help anyone. Are you going to be O.k. out here?" As he waited for a replie he looked back in at the despair in the courtroom.

"I didn't come here to fight, I came to observe the trial. You can have your mission," Phoebe said, loudly enough for her to hear. She reached for the bench that was close by and pulled her hand off her gunshot wound, which was covered in blood. "I think I can last a little longer without needing to see a doctor. Go help everyone else." She said as she laid down on the bench.

Zeb grunted as a guard tackled him, but sent him flying across the room. He searched desprately for Ellen and Craig, growling. Where were they? Had they left him? No, there they were. He had found their energy signatures. Zeb teleported himself over to Craig, and punched him in the face. "Don't know the next time I'll be able to do that..." He growled, then turned to face Ellen. He knew he had little chance against her, but he had to do something.

Craig had finished off the last of the guards when Zeb punched him square in the nose. He just stared at the boy for a moment. Not angry, just a bit puzzled. "Yeah, boy, that didn't help nothin." He looked back to Ellen. "Fuck." He knew he couldn't do anything to harm her, especially in her diamond form. Could he....no...but maybe.....
"FUCK!" Craig lept at Ellen and put one palm on her head, concentrating as hard as he could. His body began to shake as he tried to....absorb her. He was sweating. He wasn't ready to be taken down. Not yet.

Ellen didn't scream as she felt herself being absorbed into Craig's body, instead she looked him straight in the eyes and smirked, "You're going to go through hell having a conscience," she managed to muttered before she was absorbed into Craig's body and she felt herself fall away into his subconscience.

Echo arrived in time to see Craig taking in Ellen. "What the fu,.." But was cut off by a T.V. camera explode. He began to create a field of sound energy around him to ward off any minor physical damage. He got on his knees, and slapped his open palms down on the grown, causing it to shake and rumble. Two against One! I'm getting my ass kicked!

Phoebe laid completely still, because that way the pain was only as much as having a limb torn off slowly instead of having it cut off with a dull knife. She stayed that way until the ground began to shake. She groaned in pain and reached for her cell phone. As quickly as she could with shaking, bloody hands she looked up Jason's number. He should be leaving the meeting right now and that meant he would only be a few blocks away.
"Already on break? Did that guy become too much of a distraction?" Jason's voice came through.
"Jay," she gasped into the phone.
"Phoeb? What is it what's wrong?" She couldn't talk the pain was becoming too much. Either Echo needed to get her to a hospital quickly or she was going to have to drag herself there. "Are you at the court house? Phoebe talk to me," Jason's panicked voice told her.
"I need...doctor..." she dropped the phone, her hands shaking too much. She was able to hear the damn that he shouted before the phone hit the ground and the line went dead.

Craig lay on the ground, writhing in pain. He began to grow. Eight inches were added to his height. Four inches of muscle to his girth. His clothing tore. He was somehow unaffected by Echo's ground shake, slowly rising to his feet. Craig panted, looking to Zeb with a sneer. "Whatcha waitin for, boy?"

Zeb tottered on his feet, stumbling slightly as the shake commenced. He rose into the air a few inches, levitating himself to put himself out of harms way. He took a few air-steps towards Craig, touching his arm. Shivering visibly, he bit his lip. "Fine. Here we g-"
BAM!
Right as he was teleporting them away, a shot rang out. The boy's body jerked, his words cut off by a scream. Craig disappeared, but he didn't. Panting from the pain in his lower left back he turned widly towards the origin of the noise. BAM! Right shoulder. BAM! Lower left stomach. BAM! Right thigh. Sobbing in pain, he fell to his knees, then to the ground. Footsteps came towards him, someone grasping his arms. Summoning the strength he had left, he managed to teleport himself from the room.
**exit Zeb**

Echo saw the escape of the mutants, and decided to get back to Phoebe. "We need to get to a hospital now!" He helped her move as they set off for a nearby hospital.

Phoebe barely remembered leaving the bench she was lying on, but once some of the fuzziness cleared she realized she and Echo were moving. She looked up at him, "I'm ready for that vacation now." She whispered, tears welling in her eyes. The pain was getting to be too much. She felt blackness engulfing her and threatening to overcome her entire being. She looked forward to see Jason running toward them right before everything went black.

Eliza steped out of the donut shop and bit hungerly into one of the dozen donuts she bought. She looked at the courthouse and blinked, it was complete chaos. Then Eliza sneezed and felt someone nearby fading in and out of life.
"Aw, Ih always miss all tha good stuff! Excuse me, comin through!" Eliza said taking off pushing her way through the crowd, occasionally throwing someone out of her way, "Nevah fear there's ah healah here!" she said appearing in front of an unconcious girl and two guys. She reconized one of the guys and the girl from school, and then the other guy she had no idea who he was.
"Here hold this, anh Ih swear if yah steal them Ih'll hunt yah down!" she told the guy she didn't know before kneeling at the head of the girl and putting her hands on the sides of the girl head and began using her healing powers on the girl.
