Octavian is quite familiar with the exact pressure it takes to break any kind of bone. Small ones like in the wrist should break like dry twigs, in particular. And yet, this takes longer. At first he thinks that she is some kind of cyborg, but no, the give and feel of it isn't quite right. It is enough for him to mutter 'intriguing', right before the wench actually manages to throw him. The foot manages to connect too, making him grunt as the knife is driven in a little deeper and propelling him further, right into one of the tables. When he climbs back up, his suit is dripping with punch and blood.
And his eye is full of murder. "Oh, you little impudent witch-!" He's about to hop over the table when something starts buzzing. He lifts his sleeve, looks at a watch, and scowls before giving a sharp whistle. "Brawl! Vortex! Retreat!" There's an "oompf" that comes from above the room, the ceiling starts to ripple and wave, and then completely disintegrates into a thick dust cloud that quickly fills up the cavern.

Carolyn isn't about to wait for Slaughter to get set, and is actually in moving toward him when the ceiling starts to go. Thankfully, the only civilians left in the room are not in a state to care if they get covered in debris.
She keeps moving, hoping to get to Slaughter before he can get away.

"G-d, I wouldn't be caught dead here - but you might!" Stella heckles back at Valerie. The vortex knocks Stella into the wall, along with a table and chairs. It knocks the wind out of her, too, and she gasps for air, eyes wide.
Then she gets herself back up, her suit torn by some jagged pieces of splintered furniture, but her skin seems unscathed. She aims her cavitation rifle at Valerie and fires, the gun making a bwee-ow! noise.
Stella catches some names floating around. 'Prime'. 'Brawl'. 'Vortex'. These people are talking like... they're those space robots.
Could Pryor have been telling the truth?
But she can't think about that, and she can't fire a snappy remark back at Pryor or Elsa, because the ceiling is caving in.

Cavalier snorts. "Oh, excuse me, who are you again?" he asks Elsa. "I can't really keep track of all the little bit player- whoah!" He's interrupted as the ceiling turns to dust and begins falling on them.
Without hesitation, he grabs for Stella and then dives towards Carolyn, turning his protective aura up full force in an attempt to protect all three of them. Of course, it's possible that he misses the grab for Stella, and even if he does manage to grab Carolyn to protect her, that means interfering with her attempt to go after Slaughter...

“Well, there’s a whole bunch a’ people already dead in here- you might as well join ‘em!” Valerie chirps, watching Stella go through the wall. “You’d make a pretty corpse, I think!”
She was about to try and throw more chairs and tables at Stella when Octavian whistles his warning.
“Ugh,” the woman grumbles as the ceiling comes down, cycloning the debris away from her. “I was having fun, ya one-eyed nincompoop!”

The sculpture Elsa threw shatters against a wall as the Cavalier dives for Carolyn and Lord Slaughter calls for a retreat. Inwardly, she's irked that people keep calling each other by their proper names. Using cool codenames is half the fun of playing supervillains and superheroes!
She lets out a stream of loud dissatisfied grumbling, echoing Valeries sentiments as she moves toward the nearest exit, coughing amid the sudden dust cloud.

"We were here for business, Vortex, not to enjoy ourselves! That was merely a bonus!" He casually yells that to Valerie like he doesn't have a lethal blonde out for his blood. The dust is thick enough to hide most of him but a vague outline, all to hide the goons on the upper floor that are throwing down ropes for the named villains. Octavian grabs one of them and lets himself be swiftly pulled up. Even if Carolyn evades the Cavalier's safety roll, she may have difficulty chasing him, unless she's a good jumper who can scale the entire length of the ceiling in a single bound!

OOC: Skipping Carolyn due to timeout.
Stella is grabbed by the Cavalier, and his aura makes her feel kind of funny.
Naturally, she tries to kick him in the knee, hollering, "Hey, let go of me, you crazy cape!"
At least the ceiling is mysteriously not killing her, probably due to glowy shenanigans.

Carolyn can't make crazy-high jumps. That's what she has Stella for. Unfortunately, Stella is currently being manhandled by the annoying cape who was harassing her earlier.
A cape who just manages to tackle Carolyn and keep her from reaching Slaughter. Carolyn doesn't even hesitate. She twists as she falls and tries to punch Rodney full in the face.
Later, she will wonder why she didn't pull out one of her various weapons and seriously hurt. For now though, all she can think about is how satisfying it would be to break that pretty nose on the prettyboys pretty face.

OOC: I totally vote we assume that the bad guys get away.
Cavalier keeps the collapsing roof from harming Stella or Carolyn, and for his efforts, he's kicked in the knee and punched in his nose. "Ow!" he exclaims, one hand going up to cover his nose while the other is held above them, burning out the dust from the ceiling before it can bury them... and somehow managing to do so without causing a chain reaction. "You're welcome," he gets out bitterly, his nose, indeed, broken (though it probably won't stay that way long, since he is a healer).

“Yeah well your bonus fun can go suck it,” Val mutters, grabbing herself a rope. She concentrates on sending up a cloud of dust and debris around them to cover their exit in case the heroes pull out their guns.
OOC: So sorry for the late post! D:

If anyone were to ask her, Stella would probably prefer that Rodney keep that nose broken. He's really a bit too pretty right now.
She rummages through the many pockets of her flightsuit, trying to find some kind of restraints to slap on the Cavalier. Ugh, he'll probably just melt most things, right? Stupid fire-types.
Whatever, Stella makes a run at him with some metal handcuffs.

I am assuming the bad guys got away, too.
As the debris settles, Carolyn pushes herself back up and away from Rodney. A quick, professional survey of the destruction shows her that the only bad guys left are Slaughter's generic minions, and even those aren't in condition to help her. Dead men (and women) tell few tales and all that.
She whirls on Rodney, every line of her body trembling with barely constrained fury. Her blue eyes have gone flat and cold. It is possible that Stella has seen Carolyn near to this state before, but never quite this extreme.
"Please tell me you're not going to further ruin my evening by coming quietly," she says to Rodney as Stella attempts the capture the cavalier. Angry as she is Carolyn's voice is even and calm, ever that of a leader.
OOC: not looking for an extended fight scene, BTW. Carolyn just wants to break things right now.

"What?!" Cavalier exclaims, shocked, as he twists out of Stella's way. "What is wrong with you people?!" he demands. His eyes scan the wrecked room and he starts to try and move towards the door. He doesn't want to fight these two - especially not these two - but at the same time, if there's a way to avoid losing track of them, he needs to take it.

Indeed, Stella has never seen Carolyn this extreme.
Springer has seen someone this extreme, though.
Stella snaps, "You're flipping out just like Impactor used to do! Y'wanna end up in jail on a faked up syk peddling charge, too?"
Stella does not want Carolyn to end up in jail over a faked up syk charge! She rather likes Carolyn! This whole issue is much more important than the stupid Cavalier.
