The door was yanked open, and John barely heard the sharp tone, but he took his words to heart. His loud voice softened immediately, though the panic remained. Holding himself up on the door jam, John just stared at Tony for a moment. It was a vague shell of the Tony he knew of back from his world. Hopefully he'd hate this one less.
"I think I know what this is." Pyro repeated.
Pyro took a shaky breath as he felt his powers just out of wack while trying to pull any open flame to him. Squirtle keeping guard around John so he didn't start anything on fire on accident. "From my time and universe, there was a virus that was synthesized. It was called the Legacy Virus. It was created to target mutants." He pointed at himself. "I caught said virus. My abilities went all out of wack. Sometimes they worked. Sometimes they didn't. Sometimes they just were batshit crazy..." John shook his head. "It always ended one way." This was where the panic really set in for John as he thought of Kitty dying from this. Pyro continued with a shaky voice. "Tony. This thing killed me. This is how I went out..."
Looking down almost defeated. "I'm not saying it is for sure, it's just so similar how I felt and dealt with, so I can't help but think it's similar in some fashion." His body finally was just tired enough, he just slid down the doorjamb till he was sitting. "I can't let this take her.." John muttered.
