WHERE: The City streets
WHEN: After Riful's showdown with Nico
SUMMARY: Riful took Nico to the cleaners. Now, Nico's uncontrolled and about ready to explode. A motley crew attempts and mostly fails at an intervention.
WARNINGS: mentions of torture, epic supernatural showdown!
FORMAT: Para
(
I don't want your pressure unless it's to stop the bleeding. )
But someone's calling 911 and there's the high wail of an ambulance pulling in and that hurts. Nico shrieks "Bust!" and the ambulance's wheels burst. It careens to the side, hitting a powerline pole.
Nico watches it, hands over her ears. It's the first physical stimuli to break through, to make any dent on the magical pain buffer she's choking on ]

Before he managed to arrive, the Ambulance crashed, and he zeroed in, his boots jetting him from Mach 3 to Mach 5, and he arrived moments later. A quick scan of the area let him know that the EMTs were fine, and he swerved in front of the area emitting the most power. ]
I think you're causing a little bit too much trouble.

Oh, lovely. Stark is there. Will he never be rid of him? ]
Stark. What's going on here?

Get away from me.

Osborn. Are your readouts faulty?
[ Yes, even now he will take jabs where he can get them. He turns his attention back to Nico. ]
Put your hands behind your head, and lay on the ground. If you refuse to do so, I will resort to violence.

[ He flies around to the opposite side of Nico, raising one gauntlet and letting it charge. It's clear he's not going to be above firing a warning shot. ]

[ she's not afraid. If anything, she's afraid because the fact that she has two men in iron suits gunning for her doesn't even make her heartrate spike. There's something dark in the pit of her stomach that's saying that they can't hurt her, and she believes it. Nico breathes out, looks at Iron Man with eerily glowing eyes, and says: ]
Ich bin nur der Geist in diesre Maschine.
[ a billow of red-black smoke forms come off her and shoot toward Tony---goblin-like, they claw through the armor and attack the electricity running the systems ]
Reply
[ Oh now wasn't that ironic? It ripped into the electrical pulses, which not only affected the armor, but him. Pain ripped through his body, and he fell to the ground, shut down for the moment. Restart Y/N? | ]
Dammit, yes! Restart!

Turnabout's fair play.
[ and with that, the absorbed energy spits back at Osborn ]

[ it's the same thing on repeat, a broken record of a plea. Get away, I'm going to hurt you. Get away, I want to be left alone. Get away, you can't have me. Get away get away get away get ]
AWAY!
[ everything in her grinds to a terrible halt. It's a stutter, a disconnect. It's her body telling her you've used that one. You've pulled that card before. Alex, remember? You used it to get away from Alex. Stupid girl. Stupid. ]
Hu--uugh---nngh---
[ she starts coughing. It's blood, black blood, because she broke the only rule she has. Nico's shaking, a blood-covered hand over her mouth, and any control she has dissipates just like that.
The unpredictable magic slams out of her, sending both suited men flying away from her. She's left alone in the center of the mess, still standing. Still bleeding. ]
