Cass darted across the rooftops with reckless abandon. Two thoughts rushed through her mind over and over again: Reilly was hurt, and she would kill the Joker. It didn't matter if he could nullify powers; hers weren't useful anyway. And even if she couldn't read his body language, all she had to do was hit him and keep hitting him, until he couldn't do something like this again.

She finally reached the warehouse and kicked the door open and rushed inside without even pauses to check for traps or enemies. The warehouse was obscured by smoke and flames. She could vaguely make out the bodies lined up against the back wall. And then she heard the pained mumbling. Reilly's mumbling.She rushed through the flames to his side, briefly assessing his wounds. She'd never really seen anything like them, and briefly wondered what kind of monstrous thing the Joker had done to cause them. Lifting him as gently as possible into her arms, she ran toward the exit, zigzagging between burning structural pieces. She coughed slightly as she

May hadn't been on the ideal side of town when the message came out, but at least she'd already been in costume. She'd started sprinting and catching a cling on subways as quickly as possible to get there. All those people...Reilly...she was torn between hoping the fanboy got there before she did to help and hoping he was somehow delayed and couldn't get himself hurt to boot.

As she approached the building her Spider Sense was, understandably, going crazy. Fire had that effect. She concentrated though, trying to find the source of the small buzz that was Reilly's superhuman signature-

"Is he...?

Reilly greeted the girls with a weak cough.

His eyes darted around the scene, trying to put the picture together, but all he could see were tear-filled eyes. Cass. He raised a scarred hand to her face, trying to wipe the tears away.

Until he heard May's voice and instinctively struggled to sit up, only to fail and collapse against Cass. "May?" His voice was hoarse, relieved, and frightened. "Why-- it's dangerous, you idiot, go home."

Cass's lips trembled slightly, finally forming a weak smile at his reaction. She clutched his hand and lowered it back down, squeezing it gently as if to say worry about yourself, not me.

"Iron Fist is coming. He'll be... okay," she said to May, her voice wavering slightly. She knew that she should be back in the blazing warehouse, pulling the rest of the injured from danger. But she couldn't seem to get her fingers to let go of Reilly's hand. Everyone she cared about seemed to get hurt, or worse. She had to make sure that Reilly was safe.
