Well that could have gone better, but the speaker was alive at least.
"Someone just tried to blow your head off, if you didn't notice, and it wasn't me. Get backstage!"
That's where there was some cover! Hopefully, his team was already on the shooter, he knew Piper was probably fast enough to have gotten to the roof by now, but that left him having to figure out how to get through this crowd without hurting any of them. He sends the shadows surrounding him forwards to engulf Dr. Franklin and the people rushing the stage, but doesn't solidify it or anything, adding it to the semicircle he created to veil them and hopefully slow them down - since they wouldn't be able to see, the thought was it'd make him balk.
Then he heads off the back end of the stage and books it out and around to try to get to the building the shooter was on! That'll, hopefully, take him around the bulk of the crowd and give him a straight shot!
Miranda stays away from the crowd so they don't notice the girl singing while they're tossing things at Angel. Hopefully their ammo doens't goet worse.
She's headed for the building with the shooter and Piper.
She connected with him before she could take much of his appearance in and her hands shot out for the gun, trying to grab it. However, his leg connected with her and she cursed, fairly loudly, and used her free hand to try and grab him to keep herself from falling. It was really mostly instinct driving her on.
In one hand, she'd have the gun, in the other, his jacket, the only thing she could probably get her fingers around. "Woah woah woah, man!" She shouted, trying to... Not die.
Angel would make his skin harden and turn scaly and reptilian hopefully to reduce any damage he received and he would climb faster, hearing Piper struggling he rushed to get up the wall faster!
Its crowded as people rush for Angel, but Enya should be able to get through after some time of weaving through the crowd!
Angel keeps climbing though he takes a book to the back of his head!
Piper grabs the jacket! He grabs her wrist, breaking it off from his jacket but not letting her fall, instead using it to pull her back up to safety as she teeters on the edge!
"Careful...!" Its a voice changer that comes from the helmet!
Aaron's shadows make everyone pause but only momentarily! Another man on stage goes to tackle Aaron as everyone begins to mob the stage once more chanting freak!
Piper throws the gun down as she dangles, hoping Aaron or Angel will grab it, and squeals until...
He grabs her?
He brings her back up to safety and she moves to rub her wrist, unable to stop the shaking. "Guys," she says into the comm, "Give me a minute with him. I got this."
Then, she would turn to the attacker, paying attention to every detail she could gather.
"You saved me?"

Aaron makes the man's own shadow grab his ankles and trip him to the floor! He'll take a bit of a bump, but he'll be fine. Come on, Aaron, stay calm...
He calls up a cloud of darkness around himself so the crowd won't be able to see him well enough to pursue, then tries the plan with sneaking off the back of the stage and out to head to the shooter's building.
Angel would grind his teeth and jerk his head up and see a gun heading for him! Reaching out he would snag the gun out of the air. Then he would look for the nearest window above him and bust through it! Once inside he would roll into his back and aim the rifle up at the ceiling!
"Fine but if you need to run you tell me immediately and then move as quick as possible."
Then Angel would focus his attention to the sounds above him as soon as the shooter made any sounds he would aim the rifle at that location and wait for the go ahead.
Angel breaks into a dorm, sending co-eds running and screaming! He might also note that there's nothing in the gun, the red energy having disappeared!
Enya makes it to the building, where other people are entering after Angel broke a window!
The man is tripped. "Follow the shadows!" Dr. Franklin points at the darkness and tries to direct people after Aaron!
The shooter has a motorcycle jacket with some sort of kevlar underneath as well as a high tech looking motorcycle helmet. There's no real logos or writing to note.
"Yeah. Now save yourself and get out of here. Your team too." He turns and heads for the roof access door!
"Wait!" She shouts, trying to follow after him. They had his gun and she knew the team was already chasing after him. "Why? Why did you save me but try to kill him?"
With everybody already nearby, already trying to get after the others, she knew they were going to have to leave. And fast. She knew she couldn't admit that she didn't care about the speaker, or really anyone there (aside from a few), but...
No, Aaron. Don't think like that. You knew this man probably wouldn't be thankful even if you did save him. You don't help people for praise, you do it because it's right.
Aaron keeps running, and expands the cloud so that "following the shadows" will be much easier said than done - sure, they can see the big blot of darkness, but he's willing to bet they can't tell where he is in all of it.
Is there a fire escape or anything on the side of the building? If not, this was going to be harder, because he was going to try something his mom said was possible, had done herself, but he'd not tried in the field yet. Not counting that time he sent a wall after a Legion bot.
He'll turn some of the surrounding darkness into a platform under his feet, and try to raise it up as high as he can. If that's all the way to the roof, great. If it's just to a window, or to a fire escape, he'll go in through there and book it to roof access, wherever that is in relation to him. To make it safer, he doesn't just lift it straight into the air like she would have, instead building up more and more darkness into the platform beneath him to make it taller and taller until it reaches where he needs to be; it should be too smooth a surface for anyone who catches up to grab onto and climb.
If it fails entirely, though, he'll just run through the front door.

Angel sighed. Of course it's empty. Either way... If the gun had a strap he would throw it over his shoulder if not he would just hold it in his arms and make his way up to the roof. Hopefully he would run into the shooter.
Platform. He can shield himself with it if he has to anyway, and he seems to have a good lead on the crowd. He'll just push it up as fast as he can, and if he gets really pressed for time it's a matter of diving through the first window he gets to and booking it for roof access.
She would reach out to grab him, to try to keep him on the roof with her a little longer. "Save us from what?" She asked. "Their bigotry is just bullshit. It's not like its doing anything. Is there... More behind this?"
Piper furrowed her brows, trying to stay closer to him, to get whatever answers she could out of him.
Enya starts to laugh at her apparently mistake, trying really hard to get through the door! At least the door would slow down the flow of people chasing her!
"I apologize!" she calls out, for the sake of it. "Crowds make me nervous!"
