The rebel lair's outer door opens, revealing a black sillouette of a figure.
Mystique pulls two guns, instantly levelling them at the sillouette's chest. "Is he with you?" It's too tall and lean to be James, but she's still pushed the remaining grenade out of her chest and into her lap. Just in case.

Don't think about that.
"I know we planned on taking the Mb..." he pauses, not sure how much information to give out in front of these strangers. "I remember our next probable location. But please, listen to me. We are so few. He will come for us, and at nightfall the Barons will come for us, and any surivors will be whittled down to too few for a real strike. We must attack now."
He leans back, cupping Silver's face in one hand. "We must go to the palace."

Date: 2006-09-07 06:55 pm (UTC)The lights dim again as he glares at the idiotic stranger.
"I learned from what went before. Peter, the goggles need to be darker, much darker. And I've learned upper limits to my power not even I thought I possessed."
He stares into Silver's eyes.
"I can do this."

Date: 2006-09-07 07:09 pm (UTC)She is slow to respond to his words, thinking it over. "He's right. If we don't do something now we won't have enough people to do anything after we lose whoever we would lose in the retaliation tonight." Silver carefully removes Roberto's hand from her cheek, giving it a small squeeze before releasing it and starting to step away from him.
Looking to the newcomers, she seems ready to give an emotional plea. But it isn't her way. "We're going to have to go. If you come, you can figure out what it is you need to do and maybe we can help. If not - we'll either survive or we won't. The more capable people we have, the better chance we all have."

Date: 2006-09-07 07:34 pm (UTC)A hand lingers on Silver's shoulder. "Promise, if they try to turn me, you won't let me end like Sooraya. With my powers, the light stored within me..." he shudders. "Promise me."

Date: 2006-09-07 08:05 pm (UTC)"There are some things I would like to collect first. And Silver, there is something Dani wanted you to have."
He holds out a hand, nodding for her to come with him.

Date: 2006-09-07 08:46 pm (UTC)Where did this come from, this sudden and frantic need to protect him? Was all of this always here, buried, or is it because they're both fairly certain that they're going to die in the next few hours?
"It isn't inevitable..."

Date: 2006-09-07 10:30 pm (UTC)Silver can't stop herself from responding. It has been too long not to yearn for more of his touch. Her hands slide to his waist, backing up against the table.
"You're sure?"
