Stacy looks scared.The Sports StoreRaph's eyes begin to glow a golden color and her bright golden wings sprout from her back.  She gives Cody a look that nears defiance.  "Cody, that sounded deadly.  There's no way I'm leaving you.  What if there's another one?"  She pauses, looks at Manjit and sighs.  "C'mon," she tells the girl, turning long enough to say, "Be careful, Cody, I'll be right behind you."What's left of the food courtNick gets lucky, as a table that flies up between him and the blast takes the brunt of the explosion for him.  The table does slam into his side with great force.(14 Ref, fail; 23 Tough, marginal fail; Nick is Bruised and Injured)The explosion hits John full on, but his elite abilities soak up much of the energy of the concussive blast.  However it's more than his body can handle, and flying debris slams into his left shoulder and leg.(10 Ref, fail; 15 Tough, marginal fail; John is Bruised and Injured; Current STR=30)Init: Yoshi (28), Nick (18)[1 bruise, 1 inj], Trilly (17), John (16)[1 bruise, 1 inj; 30 STR], Raph (15), Manjit (15), Josee (13), Stacy (11), Clover (8), Layla (8), Jerry (6), Emmet (6), Cody (4)Initiative will come into play once you reach the food court...possibly sooner <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As lighter debris is still falling to the ground, Yoshi, still conscious, manages to turn himself over in place.  His face is a bloody mess from hitting the wall and he doesn't seem cognizant of his surroundings.Nick shakes the cobwebs out quickly and realizes Layla is no longer near him.  Scanning the destruction, he manges to pick her out, lying on some broken debris.  Getting to her would be more difficult if not for his powers.  He bends the space between them and appears at her side.  She's not moving, her arm is bent behind her at an impossible angle and she seems to be bleeding from a wound to the back of her head.  Nick can also see the unmoving hand of another person trapped underneath the debris Layla is lying on.John reaches the girls as Nick sees to Layla.  Both are lying a ways from where they stood, but still fairly near each other.  Naeema is bleeding badly, a shard of wood impaling her abdomen.  The sight of Saba is much more gruesome, as her head is no longer fully attached to her body.Jerry and Cody (and Emmet if he follows) are met by a crowd of people moving away from the explosion, making their progress towards a it a bit slower.Yoshi finally manges to stand up, but continues to lean heavily against the wall.  Wiping blood from his eyes, he surveys the damage, unsure of what to do.Everyone can announce what they'd like to do next.</blockquote>
