[ Ugh ugh ugh ugh he's getitng mauled, he can't get a good grip on his sword and- ]

Can you blow up the roof?!

[maximoff_girl]

[She doesn't bother to answer, assuming at this moment the "can" is more of a request, not an inquiry as to if she's able. From her position flat on her back, she throws her arms up and--

boom

The ceiling flashes orange and yellow, as it pushes downwards in a sudden, smallish fireball. Following closely on the fire's heels is the dirt and muck and just-- everything that HAD been above them.

... Wanda had not thought this through. ]

[rashness]

[ No she had not.

Neither had Rin. His eyes go wide as he sees a large piece of stone and concrete falling from the roof towards him and the hunter. He tries desperately to hack at the thing's head with his sword, but his arm isn't totally healed and it's in a bad positive. Despite this, a combination of that and kicking allows him to pull himself out from under it!

Until it grabs hold of his tail with one of it's paws. It's unclear if that's because of planning, or chance, but Rin is terrified he won't get out and be buried for a moment until a large piece of pipe falls on top of the thing's head and makes it yelps back. He scrambles out from it and- and he's go the run-

There's too much falling (the cieling and the metal and stone and concrete and it seems to have partially collapsed some building above and there's blood and mud spilling in from the street and maybe even a few bodies too). There's nowhere to run. And what's more, it's going to crush Wanda too.

So he makes a logical choice- He makes to tackle Wanda so that it'll all fall on top of him and not her. He folds his wings tight about himself as he does this, hoping it won't crush them too ]

[maximoff_girl]

[Wrapped up in each other like they are, things seem to actually start going their way for once. Reflexively, Wanda yelps, and throws a shield out around herself-- and Rin too, given he's right there with her. They're buffeted and rocked around a bit, and a few stones or smaller bits of debris make it through her shield, but for the most part, they are now safe in their own little pocket of air.]


.... oops.

[rashness]

[ For his part, his flames spread out on instinct too - it doesn't go through her shield, but it coats all of him and most of her. The flames won't burn her though, just feel nice and lukewarm. It's blue though, so. And might eat up some of their air, bit it's no big deal. And... ]

I think we got it...?

[maximoff_girl]

[Wanda is scared for a minute, that she's on fire, but when the flames don't hurt, she focuses back on Rin, above her.]

... I hope so. I think we got-- everything.

[rashness]

Y-yeah... sorry I tackled you.

[ You know, now he's out of immediate danger, the fact they are tangled up is a bit more weird ]

[maximoff_girl]

[Tangled up with not many options for getting out of one another's business. She finds it terrifically awkward, though she's not sure why.]

... It's good you did. I don't know if I would have shielded you, otherwise.

[rashness]

O-oh well... good. Then I made a good call.

[ Wait. Wait. ... Wow she's sort of soft okay no he won't do that. He tries to squirm a bit to be less tangled up, but it doesn't work well ]

[maximoff_girl]

... It's not that I don't want to shield you, it's just-- an instinctive thing. Um.

[His squirming is making her feel a bit awkward, and is getting them no less entangled.]

... What are you doing?

[rashness]

T-trying to get us un a better position, uh-

[ And he shifts again, his leg now coming between both of hers- okay that's not good. Maybe if he lifts himself up a bit, but then his back is against the barrier and then against a piece of concrete. So his shifts his hands and- on one of her breasts.

Uh He hurriedly tries to shift his hand off there. ]

[maximoff_girl]

[Wanda doesn't have much of a 'personal space' issue, but even she knows that some touching is generally frowned upon. She splutters, and hex-barrier pushes out, grinding and crunching against the debris it pushes out of the way, more dust and smallish rocks falling through, and likely hitting more of Rin than Wanda.]

... H-hey!

[rashness]

[ Oh a rock hit him on the back of his head and he groans a bit- ]

S-sorry! I didn't mean to!

[ In fact, that got him so flustered he'd continued to blank on the fact that his flames could burn away everything surrounding them. He tries to pull away from her again only to have his head (which already got hit by a rock) hit against the ceiling of the barrier and the concrete it was blocking. Oops ]
