no worries about the delay. i just get bored easily.
anywho . . .
we came into the match with sue's shield surrounding us. the psi-bafflers would be inside the shield with us (as would reed's invention) while we were invisible--we DID specify we had them with us. while the field is up, we are safe. sue's field PREVENTS a telepath from getting into her head.
in these scans, even PSI-LORD can't penetrate her thoughts until AFTER she drops her field as evidenced by this surprise attack (the SECOND such surprise assault she launched at him--and this was a very WEAKENED version of sue . . .):

it wasn't until he tricked her into dropping her shield that he was able to penetrate her mind. we see clearly her fields BLOCK PSIONIC ENERGY. i also already showed the fields block TK energy as well. on top of that, AURORA is extremely resistant to tp assault:

and here is the end result of a tp assault on her--headlok once took out AF and the west coast avengers. when she senses the attack, she can turn her 'healing light' inside herself. it isn't pretty when she does that to a telepath . . .

so, with aurora AND the raised force field, we don't need our bafflers until we decide to drop sue's forcefield, and only then if jean is still active--which she isn't.
if you disagree with my assessment, you simply have to find some evidence to show that tp CAN get through her forcefield.
good luck with that.
aurora's inner light+forcefield=jean's tp being useless.
we are also moving at max speeds. not only do the shields prevent her from getting a psi-lock on us, but our speed would also make it impossible for her to find us. we otoh find YOU instantly, encase you in an airtight bubble and jean is eliminated almost at once.
also, as regards to the bafflers--your scan would seem to indicate that nate somehow . . . physically REMOVED them fom ben, as opposed to his having actually used TP to get around them:

nate said he "palmed" them from ben. the bafflers work as soon as we decide to put them on.
as far as affecting them with polaris through sue's shield:
even SERSI can't manipulate matter through sue's force fields:

if sersi can't affect things through the force field, NO WAY polaris has any chance of getting through . . .
and again, as far as jean--she's eliminated at the very start of the battle anyway by being placed in an airtight bubble that suffocates her.
hell, if one of her spheres can KO BLACK BOLT, jean is gonna go down in a hurry:

http://img161.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=42855_Fantastic_Four_v1_411_6186_122_674lo.jpg
even if we can't shake her to death--allegedly--she DOES suffocate in less than a minute thanks to an airtight forcefield. once jean is out, we can do whatever we like.
you have no way to find us when we are invisible and intangible. we move at max speeds. laws of turbulence?
aurora's body possesses a natural aura that prevents damage to her body when she travels at superspeed. that aura would remain and protect us even as gas. if it WERE an issue, we could just, you know . . . not go QUITE as fast.
we are still undetectable to you and you have no way to harm us even if you COULD find us. we have tons of time. without jean, we drop our shields and become hydrogen, fill your lungs and shift to propane and blow you up from the inside. (if you haven't been ko'd by the gases we spread at the outset) if you survived the gases, (thanks to polaris's shields) we then take on another gaseous form that is odourless--breatheable air.
polaris CAN breathe inside her shield, so by becoming actual AIR, we should easily be able to by-pass her shields, enter her lungs and . . . BOOM! again.
we don't even NEED reed's device, though we could attack that way just as easily.
so, to recap--at the outset of the battle, we are safe from tp because of sue's force fields and aurora's tp resistance and her light powers. any attempted tp assault (IF HE CAN PROVE TP CAN GET THROUGH SUE'S FORCEFIELDS--I'VE SHOWN AMPLE PROOF IT CAN NOT)
because they have no way of detecting us, and we can almost instantly locate them thanks to our speed, jean is taken out immediately by a suffocating forcefield that prevents her tk from protecting her teammates and in less than a minute she is finished. because the field would surprise her, she is likely out in seconds. none of her teammates can save her, and none of them can find us.
their construct is slow and less than useless throughout. we can fly, so none of the ground damage is a threat, not to mention we are intangible.
once jean is done, we can easily infiltrate powergirl's body and kill her from the inside by becoming breathable air and penetrating her shield. once she is finished, we can use our tech while invisble to take out polaris, are we can become air again--air DOES get through her shield--and kill her from the inside as well.
and most certainly YES, shift can become multiple elements at once--i've tons of scans (not with me). i'll happily display some later. and he IS caple of combustion--that's how he flies. A PORTION of his mass undergoes combustion while the rest of him stays solid and he propels himself like a rocket.
so, yeah--becoming propane then blowing up inside you most certainly would work, though becoming rocket fuel might even be better . . . that would make a SPECTACULAR BOOM!
