Piper stared at the man for a moment, listening to the sounds of people all around her, of windows breaking and people shouting. She needed to get them out of there, away from the crowd.
....
[Comm] "Guys... Stand down. It's time to get out of here."
She gave a shake of her head, not at all certain in what she was doing. "I... Hope you know what you're doing."
Why did she trust him? She knew she shouldn't, but... He saved her. And he had a point. Already, this rally had turned into an angry mob, all because they had tried saving them, tried keeping the speaker safe.
She was probably going to hate herself for this later.
"You missed one!" she shouts, pointing in the opposite direction of her team with a fevered gesture. "Literally just popped up from unground! He went that way!"
Good save, Miranda. Aaron owes you one! He rushes through wherever he landed when he jumped through the window, and books it up the stairs looking for roof access!
...Which is when Piper comms him with something really strange.
[COMM]: "What? Why?"
Well, there is the crowd chasing them, but to let the shooter get away in the confusion? He'd vanish into the shadows and kill again some other day!
Angel would run up onto the roof with Piper and the shooter and would actually hear her words and he would stop standing between him and Piper was the shooter.
Aside from how he was dressed the shooter seemed non aggressive so Angel wouldn't attack. Yet. Angel badly wanted to spew his own set of questions for the man in front of him but decided to wait for Piper to finish up with her questions.
Aaron heads up and forms a dense shadow wall behind Enya, to block off the stairs behind them! It'd come up right in the path of their pursuers, blocking them from going further.
If any of them try climbing it, well, there's nothing to grab on to, and it'll react to attempts to smash through it by being as hard as a brick wall.
[COMM]: "Okay, never mind. Angry mob's in the building, think we have to get out of here."
He's still going to be on the lookout for their shooter, though. If he thinks Aaron's going to just let him walk off and kill again...
Piper watched him go for a long, quiet moment, before finally turning her attention towards Angel. "Come on," she said, softly. "Let's get to the others."
[COMM] "If we can get a distraction, could you get the shadows up and get everyone else out, Aaron?"
[COMM]: "Might need a buff, you're asking for a lot of cover or me to make my platforms outright fly. But I can do it, at least make it dark enough we can all slip out unseen."
Just one catch...
[COMM]: "Speaker told 'em to be on the lookout for moving shadows though."

"Where are you going. Why do this? Believe me I understand wanting to rid the world of ignorance but all you're doing is making life harder for us metas."
[COMM]: "How exactly do you and Angel plan to get down from all the way up there? Maybe you should wait for me to get to you."
He obviously didn't see Angel jump! He continues with Enya, running as fast as his legs will take him but trying to be careful not to leave her behind! He could probably get them safely off the roof with one of his platforms, he just wanted to make sure the mob below didn't see.
"If you two want to talk we can later. I know how to find you."
With Angel jumping off the front of the building, the shooter uses this distraction to run to the back, doing the same! A red energy knife is generated as he digs it into the bricks, slowing his descent as he heads for the trees behind.
Angel is outrunning them, but there's a lot beginning to circle him in!
Enya and Aaron reach the roof, people are having a hard time getting around the wall!
Piper was at the edge of the wall, watching Angel as he tried to distract the crowd. Once Aaron reached the roof, she shook her head, pointing to Enya. "Worry about her. I can handle myself."
She couldn't help but breathe a bit shallower, hoping the shooter got away... And hoping she could talk to him when the situation was less dire.
"Speed or not, you can't fall from a height like this! Come on, I'll get you both down; once you're on the floor, you can grab Miranda and we'll all get out of here."
It's not a tone of voice that's willing to accept argument.
[COMM]: "I need to get three of us down safe from the roof, then make a big enough cloud of darkness to cover our exit. What've you got that'll make my shadows strong enough?"
Aaron checks the opposite side of the roof, to make sure there aren't any crowd members lurking around there! He'll drop the wall downstairs so he can focus, because the people in that stairwell won't know where exactly he and Enya went, then start creating a platform of darkness attached to the side of the building, that'll act as an elevator!
Feeling the boost in strength Angel charged forward harder and faster than and angry bull on the charge! If he could he would have grown horns to prove a point!
