White Queen takes d12 Emotional Stress, d8 Gotcha By The Throat Asset
Wolfsbane makes her surprising attack from the shadows, going straight for Emma Frost's throat. Her strike takes the White Queen unaware and, in the skirmish, the table is upended, sending the spasming Scarlet Witch to the floor mid-seizure. The White Queen, at Wolfsbane's mercy, has a facial expression that turns from shocked surprise to fear, then that fear is nearly overcome by a fury as intense as the room around them. "You stupid, insolent idiot," she hisses, "I was doing the only thing that could have possibly saved us. Now you've doomed us all. You've doomed all of existence!"
Magneto turns to see the aftermath of the clash, disregarding the threat made by Wolfsbane. His face is drawn into a pained expression of pure terror. Even his horrified gasp fills the room.

Justice creates d12 Grab Complication on Magneto
Magneto turns back to the heroes. Iron Man, released from the mutant's control, crashes to the floor even before Justice begins to entangle the villain in his telekinesis. Even as he is ensnared, Magneto looks back toward where the Scarlet Witch lies on the other side of the up-turned table, then back again. His lack of activity save for an exclamation allows the fact that he is not aware he is being entangled. "What have you done?" he howls, the look of horror on his face having only increased. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

Total: 9, Effect: d8
1 Opportunity (available first to Bishop)
Bishop releases Cyclops
Bishop's blast knocks Cyclops the rest of the way to the floor but it also dislodges the metal around his head. From there, Cyclops can finagle a modest optic blast to care of the binding around his hands, then feet, and he is freed before Bishop's hands can cool. "Thanks," Cyclops says to Bishop, rising to his feet, adjusting his mask -- a large X over his eyes where a visor once managed his mutant power -- and looking around to get some bearing. "You might just have saved the -- " Until he looks to the over-turned table, Wolfsbane at Emma Frost's throat, and the Scarlet Witch dumped to the floor. "No! NOOOOO!" he cries at the disaster this has become... and the much worse that is to come.
