Everyone froze at her roar, and for a brief moment, time seemed to stop, when all of the sudden, Beast roared, "We have to stop her!" a futile endeavor, but what choice did I have. Soon after his command the X-Men rushed into battle, all save Scott.

Taking a deep breath, I attacked her with a few mana arrows that exploded against her barrier doing no damage whatsoever, hissing under my breath, I decided to change my approach as I quickly closed distance between us dashing towards her while the others kept her attention in place, once I was in front of her, I tried to strike her with a focused strike, but once again it had no effect thanks to the telekinetic shield around her, it felt as if I had punched a piece of metal, two of my strongest attacks, and even then, the barrier around her felt unbreakable, her barrier absorbed the shock of  both of blows without and problem, heck she didn't even flinch. 

"Jean no!" Before I could even wonder what that shout was meant to avoid, I felt Jean grab me with her telekinesis and throw me into a car parked  near her, then before I could process that, I saw an entirely different car falling on me.

"Fuck," I hissed, as I used my own telekenisis to move myself out of harm's way, which was frankly the only option I had, after all, I knew fighting her telekinetic hold was way beyond my current power, so with her it was best to avoid.

 "That's enough Jean!" Ororo said, throwing a few lightning bolts at Jean, who effortlessly deflected them to the sides, destroying two houses.

"Insurance here must be hella high," I chuckled at my own joke, firing a few mana arrows at her. 

"Jean, this is not you!" Raven shouted, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. 

"Leave me ALONE!" Jean screamed, sending everyone around her flying with a powerful telekinetic shockwave.

Crashing against the X-Jet, I sighed as I looked over my HP, she truly wasn't trying to kill us, which was good. If she was, I would be dead by now, but so far… I have received more damage during my Hydra escape than here, then again if the car sandwich move she was trying to pull had been successful… Well, let's not think about that.

"I have a clean shot, I'm taking it!" I heard Beast growl as I jumped off the X-Jet, but before he could actually take the shot, Charles froze him, meaning Raven's death was coming.

"I'm sorry Hank, but I want Raven to have a chance…" Charles sighed, paralyzing not only Hank, but also the cops that just now were about to try and do something.

"Jean, please come back home," Raven started.

"I told you to stay away!" Jean said, looking at her with pleading eyes.

"I am never going to go away…" Raven replied with a small smile, "That's what a family does…"

"If you keep doing this… I will end up hurting you guys…" Jean muttered, her voice breaking.

"I am not afraid of you Jean, I will never be…" Raven replied, approaching Jean.

At this, I started to move without anyone noticing it, nearing the two individuals, while hiding under the debrief, from afar, there was no way I could save Raven, I needed to be close, I needed to be able push her out of harm's way.

"Just… leave me alone… please," Jean begged, tears forming on her eyes as she gripped her head in pain. [Jean Grey - LV 234], [Jean Grey - LV 235],[Jean Grey - LV 238], [Jean Grey - LV 245].

"Jean… just focus on my voice," Raven said in a soothing tone as she stepped closer. "We're going to get through this together… because I will never give up on you… never Jean, this is what a family does, we take care of each other.." Toretto will sue her, I inwardly snorted at that, destroying any sharp piece of wood on my path to avoid the future impalation.

"STOP!" And it happened, with a violent wail full of pain and agony, Raven was sent into the air flying like a test dummy to where I was waiting for her.

Taking a deep breath, I used my telekinetic powers to slow her down, but this did close to nothing, as Raven crashed against me, and we were both sent flying through several houses, stopping at… I would like to say the fourth house.

"Jean…" Raven muttered, her body without signs of impalation, yeih.

"Yeih…" I groaned, coughing a mouthful of blood.

"Alex!" Raven muttered, her eyes fixed in my stomach.

"I got impaled didn't I?" I asked with a painful chuckle, my eyes drifting to my abdomen, seeing a metal bar protruding from it, "I think it's maybe the shock of it all, but I don't feel as much pain as I thought I would…"

"Don't move… don't talk, or you'll bleed out!" Raven muttered, her hands shaking.

At that I chuckled, "It's okay… I am quite durable," I smirked, looking at my HP, 486/11550 and dropping, not as bad as I thought, good thing mobs in dungeons drop HP potions, otherwise the bleeding effect would kill me eventually. "Now, help me move so that I can heal…"

"You have regenerative powers?" Raven inquired, helping me unimpale myself.

"Kinda…" I answered, grabbing a few potions from my inventory. [Healing Potion - Poor = Regenerates 50 health every 0.5 seconds over 15 seconds, restoring a total of 1500 health.]

"Raven!" Beast shouted, his tone full of despair.

"The Beauty is okay Beast," I shouted, consuming the potions, "God, I am glad I didn't use this…"

"What is that?" Raven asked, seeing in shock as the wound of my abdomen disappeared.

"My abs?" I asked, tilting my head.

"No… the red stuff you just drank…" Raven elaborated.

"Kool-aid," I replied with a smirk.

"You just got impaled… and the first think you do is drink Kool-Aid?!" Raven inquired, and I nodded.

"A man is entitled to drink whatever he wants after that," I chuckled.
