The good news is, Angus and I aren't dead, and Gaia is back to normal. Let me tell you what heppened on my end.

Angus was doing quite well for a beginner. What he lacked in style, he made up for with strength and speed. He would chrage and smash through one goup of demons, then do a "Matrix jump" and charge through another one. I held my own, but instead of direct brawling, I would web whole groups of demons together, and any metas nearby with "blasting" powers would finish them off.

Near the end of it all, Angus, I, and Logan were all on a rooftop, fighting hand to had with the last of the demons.

Logan stopped. "LAURA!" he shouted. "I know yer here! I told yer ta stay home!"

A girl about Angus' age walked from behind a corner, popped two claws in each fist, and one in each foot. She slashed several demons as she made he way to us.

"You always make me stay home!" was her reply.

"And that's fer a good reason." he retorted as he pushed Laura to the side, and slashed a demon that had been about to attck her from behind.

A group of demons jumped on me and Logan, separating us from the two kids. We finished them off quickly, but when I turned, I saw a particularly large demon pushing Laura to the edge of the roof.

He began to push her over, but Angus jumped at him. In his "wierd" form, his fingers are stiffer than normal, and the tips are sharp like claws. he tore through the demon, and I shot out a webline to keep Laura from falling.

I missed.

Angus jumped off after her, and I came following after. I saw Angus reach her in mid-fall. He stuck his feet towrd the walls of the building, and wierdness of wierdnesses, they stuck. I caught myself on the walls just above them.

Angus was standing out from the wall horizontally, holding Laura. Her jaw dropped... and so did mine. Angus shook his head, and asked Laura. "Which floor be you going to?"

"Let's just get back to the roof", I said. Angus took a step forward, then began running. Running staright up a wall.

When we got back, Logan, in a berserker rage, had finished the rest of the nearby demons. I swung onto the roof top, and Angus came running up just behind me with Laura. He put her down, and she ran over to Logan.

"Thanks kid." said Logan, looking at Angus. Angus just sat down on the roof.

I looked around. It was over. Again. My home is doubly-totalled, and I really don't want to stay at the X-mansion again. Maybe Vegeta will let us stay at capsule corp.
