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.

And with the way she is now, it's far from being funny. Her hands are loose at her sides, no Staff called out---or needed. There is no gap between her natural magic and what of it she can control. Like this, she doesn't need the Staff to focus. ]

I really hate magic.

Heh. Looks like it's my turn, huh, boss?

Ay Dios, she just took out Iron Man.
[ He's never seen her like this. She's hurt bad but it's like nothing is registering. Oh son of a crap it was that smarmy demon-killy guy with the sword. That was a great idea. ]
Hey! Back off. This isn't helping!
[ Electricity crackles around Victor as he eyes the sword. It's still metal. He can disarm the guy if he has to. Maybe. ]
Nico -- you gotta stop this. Please. Reel it in. I know you can.

She hurts. Riful had taken her up in all those tentacles and squeezed. On the inside, she is shutting down. Her hands are already cold.
The ambulance's siren is still going off. ]

But that's not what's going through his mind right now. It's the girl he's heading for and what's all over the place right be here.]
Nico! Are y-[He comes to a stop once he realizes what he's looking at. And there's nothing but the most uncomfortable silence.]

Why won't you leave me alone?
[ she sounds almost plaintive now, exhausted ]

I uh. [He steps forward slightly. Best to take this slow in case it gets bad again real fast.] I don't think you need to be alone right now, Nico. Here, I'm gonna... [Gonna 'what'? Help her? Magically revive Victor? Santo honestly doesn't know how to finish that sentence.]
