Victor thought for a moment and said, "Hey I could just scent for the metalic box. It would save us loads a' time."

The redhead smiled, "Alright, Sweetheart. Go for it."

Victor crouched down on all fours and started sniffing the ground, his nose inches from the ashes. Suddenly, he jerked his head to the left and followed a strangely metallic scent across to the far corner of the remains of the room. When he stopped, he ripped away the debris and pulled free a locked box, singed, but intact. He walked over to Skuld and handed it to her. "Here it is." He said.

"Perfect!" Skuld purred, then pointed to a large chunk of concrete, "Set it down there, and I'll crack the safe and confirm the bearer bonds and the diamonds." The redhead grinned like the Cheshire Cat.

Victor placed it on the spot that the mage had pointed to and stepped back.

Skuld placed her thumb and index finger on the combination wheel, then put her right ear to the safe's small door. The mage carefully turned the dial left and right listening for the old tumbles to click. After five turns, Skuld was rewarded with the sound of the safe lock disengaging.
With a full smile, Skuld pulled the lever and opened up the lockbox. Looking inside, she confirmed the bear bonds and the pouches of diamonds, "It's all here intact, Darling."

Skuld closed the safe, "Since now this can be carried and if you can carry it without difficulty, there are two other potential grabs nearby."

Rogue saw the concrete melt into magma under War's feet. Then an idea crossed Rogue's mind, "Hun, you need to cool off!" The lady X-Man flew to an emergency fire hose, grabbed it, and turned on the water main [these places are common on the docks to combat fire on ships in harbor].
Rogue aimed the water at War's feet which produced super heated steam.

Victor took hold of the lock box and said, "Lead the way."

((Clever, but their there for fire not magma intense heat. The pavement would've turned into a cooled state, but the more heat he releases, the harder it is to cool him down.))
The steam grew more and more, War however was unaffected as he continued to blaze. The heat began ripping through the steam and creating clouds of fire."Nice try, but no cigar pretty lady."He taunted her whipping fireballs of the end of his chain blades in rapid succession.

While everyone had their attention on War, Greed had taken the time to calm himself down just a bit. His attention wasn't exactly on Spider-Man anymore either. He watched for a moment, trying to decide if War needed help or if he had everything under control. With all the fire the man was putting out, he knew he couldn't get close to him either way. It might be the safest bet to get some distance from this little situation. At least until War turned the heat down.

Rogue had an odd look on her face, "Ahhhh, Tis ain't doin to good." Rogue let go of the fire hose and flew up and turned on her communicator, "Rogue to Iron Man, we got two symbiotes here -- and one of 'em is producin magma! Ya got anythin for that?"
Skuld checked the list and went to the next address near them, "Hopefully this one wasn't damaged..."

Victor followed Skuld watching the shadows for any danger to her. "What are we looking for this time?" He questioned.

Skuld's heart sank when she saw the destroyed business office, "A Ming vase.... I have a feeling that it didn't survive. It was made in 1432.... I'm afraid to look."
The thought that a piece of history might be gone depressed the mage thief.
