Five listened to what Regulus had to say, which was a sign that he was already desperate.
He raised an eyebrow at his first statement, but he didn't have a follow up question. Regulus wasn't the only one he'd heard about having some form of teleporting, and it wasn't the time to delve into the particulars. The options available to them weren't much improved by that revelation. If they could both teleport, and they knew where the pieces of the mirror were, they might have had something. It was more likely that it was too late for that.
The pacing resumed. Individually, the undead were barely a threat. Mindless and easy to eradicate one by one. Some so weak they collapsed when they got near him. But that was before he saw the insane number of them, and it was harder to think clearly enough to come up with a plan. Something kept distracting him from focusing like he should. An internal pressure that made all of his thoughts and movements just a little more erratic.
Then Regulus went and mentioned destructive powers and Five looked up sharply. Yes, his sister could take them all out at once, but she wasn't some weapon to turn on and expect there to not be any consequences. If he hadn't found Vanya when he did on that ship, she would have blotted it out of existence, and that was just a fraction of what they were facing.
"Some of them are too destructive. We're waiting for a bomb to go off." He rubbed at his neck and muttered a curse when he could hear the undead already rattling outside the walls. Hurry up and think.

"Do you have anything else? Magic barrier?"
