It was becoming pretty clear that this thing was just fucking with them at this point and ramming their heads against this brick wall wasn't cutting it.
Hey! HEY! Can we get a time-out here?

Wow, Khayman looked from the being who didn't even look bothered by the miniature assault that just happened to Arron.
Time out? Really?

Marcus knew this thing could pack a punch. Not as strong as one of his, but strong enough to hurt like hell. So this was going to be one hell of a fight. That's when he heard his brother call for a time-out. He almost laughed at it, but then again, Aaron was smarter than he was on most things, maybe his brother had a plan? At worst this could just be a decent distraction if this thing fell for it.

The thing clearly has the edge and speed on everyone, but as Aaron calls for a time out, it seems to pause in whatever it was planning to do. It raises an eyebrow at Aaron and seems to hold off on trying to pummel Marcus.
"Are we discussing things like civilized individuals now?"
Aaron shrugged at Khayman before addressing Mr. Supervillain. Hey, I thought were having a nice little chat already. Yeah, a certain someone got a little heated, but that's a natural human reaction for when someone's home is under threat.
Aaron quickly put his hands up in a disarming gesture, making it a point to show that he wasn't arguing. Look, we might as well be tickling your tits at this point because everything else seems to be just as effective; you've made your power abundantly clear.
So yeah, I vote for the "civilized talking" option.

(DM - Everyone, but Aaron, lol, Post that your holding your action if your opting to stand down, or post that you don't, lol!)
Marcus stands by and holds his action to give his brother time to try and talk them out of this situation.
