Once she'd safely led Essex to the stairwell, Paige had returned to the battle, except she'd run straight through to head to the roof. If they'd managed to get to the third floor with no one hearing them, there was only one way, she figured. And so Paige made her way to the roof, taking out four more of the idiots on the way. There was no way she was leaving an open door for the idiots they hadn't faced yet. That would be complete idiocy.
Once there, she took in the scene before her... and winced as she felt her time limit pop up. This was going to suck. Massively. But still, as she watched Ororo take on what looked like an army of winged opponents, Paige wound up completely nude on the rooftop for a couple of seconds as she tried to regain her stamina. Husking back to back always seemed to take it out of her, but seconds after peaches and cream Paige made a comeback, the skin was ripped away to reveal an odd transparent type of metal that she'd only husked one or two times before. With the cover of night and Paige almost transparent - damn thing came with the ability to see her organs. Sure, it might be an anatomy or biology professor's wet dream, but it definitely was not helpful in her current situation - self, she moved as quickly as she could on top of the surface towards her first victim.
The sap didn't know what was coming at him as he turned a fraction of a second too late. Paige hadn't been trying to be quiet, but she thought maybe she'd be caught at him before that. Instead, she delivered a double fisted blow to his head that had it snapping to the side. He'd been standing a little too close to the edge because with that one blow, he lost his footing and went right over the edge. One more on her list of things to ask forgiveness for later. Death was a bountiful fiend tonight, it seemed. And Paige, she found, was almost on his list of clients as she was shoved hard from behind. Luckily, she managed to react quickly and grabbed the edge of the roof to keep herself from falling.
Reaching up, she grabbed hold of the first thing she could in order to pull herself up and immediately felt her energy leaving her. But she tried harder, pushed herself and managed to make it to the rooftop before she found she was gripping a bubble gum looking thing. "Thanks fer tha help, pinky," she panted, letting go and backing up as much as she could. Things were not looking well... and she needed to get away from the piece of mastication.
As she propelled herself back with her hands and feet, she managed to barrel into the illusionist, effectively ending his little magic show around Ororo. She appeared to be a regular comedy of errors tonight, didn't she?
