Harry's reaction was incredibly simple, and plentifully effective. With a pulse of energy similar to that he was gathering in his right fist, he flipped Johann over moments before he began to fire, taking only a few glancing blows to his extremities before regaining control of the situation, then throwing his fist into Johann's back, most likely propelling him powerfully into the padded floor below - hard enough to kill, if it were concrete. Well, maybe a normal human anyway.

Schraeder found himself smiling slightly as she walked away. His social experiment seemed to be going fine, only it wasn't much of an experiment anymore.
Johann hit the ground hard enough to bounce a full yard back up, and in that space he flipped over to face Harry and sprayed the air all around with needles as he fell back to the ground. Upon landing, he kept up the attack for a few more seconds before ceasing to stand.
His chest, which looked curiously caved in, was beginning to pop back into place.

Xu watched as Harry sent the man shooting down into a ground, cringing as the man made contact. Xu cringed even more so when Johann, bounced off the ground, and pop his rib cage back into place. These people seem to be extremely durable. And with Adela here to hasten their already naturally accelerated healing rate, they seem nigh unstoppable. Xu shook his head, ridding himself of thought. Now's not the time to be thinking of this. I got to defend myself in case anyone decides to be aggressive, he thought.
Swiftly, he flipped open the flap of his bag. Putting his hand inside, Xu released a tiny amount of his energy, awakening the dormant Snake Vine. Assurance flooded Xu as he felt the presence awake. A vine crept out of the bag, and dived into the nearby ground, immediately forming a hole in which it had burrowed. Xu could feel the vine take up position a few feet below where he stood, ready to strike if any hostility is directed at him.
Xu never liked to attack first. He perferred to defend and then counter later. Xu scanned the room seeing if anyone was approaching him. Seeing Adela walking towards him, Xu gave her a slight nod, signifying readiness. Xu then prepared himself, ready to respond to whatever Adela tried to do.

Finnegan removed his right hand from his pocket and pointed from his hip towards Jon. "Aye, ye wanna go, laddie?" he asked.

At that point, Finnegan realized that asking was superfluous: they were, after all, already engaged in a battle royale. By being on the field, Jon was a target, just as Fin was.
Just as Xu finished nodding at Adela, he felt a strange - WHAM Schraeder's kick was fast. He had blinked into the air above and behind Xu's head and snapped a whipkick into the side of his face.

Agent M took in the sights and sounds, breathing deeply as he readied himself for battle. He closed his eyes, heard Adela's footsteps...
He spun towards her with a friendly "Heads up!" and FALCON PAWNCH!!

Adela was just about ready to fight Xu when she saw Schraeder pop out of nowhere and started fighting him. "Oookay..." There was nothing against the rules about fighting the same person, but there was someone else missing in the fighting. And that person was Agent M. "Ack!"
She saw the punch heading straight towards her, so she jumped. She jumped high enough so that she could do a second-long handstand on M's head - she forced her power into her palm so that he'd get a massive headache. Quickly jumping off, she got behind him and tried to side kick him in the lower back.

Agent M countered the headache by channeling his viral hunger, grabbing for the kick with the intent to throw her to the floor.

However, Fin was much more courteous than that.

Schraeder intervened with a falling axe kick at M's leg, having disengaged from Xu as only he could.
Fin was an idiot, but it was accepted.

Mmkay, so the headache thing didn't work. Damnit. Well, let's hope this works. She'd gotten the idea that if she could focus her energy on a certain part of her body (like hands), she could do some major damage when throwing a hit. However, what if it was only about contact? Could it not then be said that if someone tried to grab at her, could she not focus her power and make them hurt themselves? Kinda like fire. It hurts if it's used against you and hurts if you try to (stupidly) grab it.
Putting that idea into action, she focused her Sigil ability on her leg where the Agent was about to grab. She focused hard so that the harder he grabbed, the likelier it was she'd break the muscles in his hands. "Let me know if this works, 'kay?"
If the experimental leg grab didn't work, then she'd maneuver herself to land in a crouched position to go straight back into attack mode.

Schraeder missed because he did and Agent M ignored any pain he may have received in his Slaughterfists as he threw her down.

Harry grunted, focused, and fired an energy burst, launching himself away from Johann's counter-attack. Though he traced Harry to his new destination, Harry had already portaled through the wall and exploded out from the floor beneath Johann, moving just as fast as he had been before - very fast. This sent them both into an uncontrolled spiral into the air, while Harry gathered pure power to blow Johann into another wall.
The Adams were pretty good at this stuff.

"s**t--" Adela landed in her crouch before going to attack M again - this time throwing a punch to the gut. If it didn't work on him, maybe it'll work on Sigil-users. Gotta remember to ask Schraeder or Fin to let me practice.

Schraeder, confused at the lack of logic, changed his momentum with a neat blink that threw him though a second of inertia as he came into the air sideways, his axe kick continuing though its powerful finish at the back of M's neck.
Johann, meanwhile, curled into a ball with the biotic guns aimed out below his arms and began to fire without looking in all directions.
