Lost and Found

[house-of-mystiq.livejournal.com]

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.

Great. Another blue chick he's managed to piss off.

"Bet I'd look good, though."

A glance to anyone who'd know.

"Anyone have an answer to that? I'd hate her to try to possess one of these freaks only to get possessed right back..."

Sarah shakes her head. "I don't know. The legends say they need to make eye contact to possess someone, but that could all be wrong. But if they are possessable, then that could be a huge benefit. If we had time and knew where we might be able to find one or two besides Ororo or Logan, I'd suggest an ambush to try it. Those two would be hard to possess or mind control even without being vampires. Sadly, we don't seem to have a lot of research time."

She speaks more quietly now, aside to Spider Man. "Don't suppose you could give her a break. She's taking this harder than most of us, and I know it isn't exactly a picnic for you. If we're going to pull this off, we're going to need to work together. All of us. As powerful as this hammer is, there's going to be things I can't fix or overpower. You and Mystique both have a lot more experience at this than I do, no matter who trained me. And Nocturne doesn't even have that to fall back on. I can't ask anyone to like each other, but if we can't pull this show together this time, we may all die. We almost did last time, and that was just dealing with Clown Prince Mysterio."

He didn't need a lecture from a sixteen-year-old. Lieutenant America or not.

"You want to scold somebody about teamwork, talk to your alterna-sister. Make sure she's on the same page."

Then he thwips a webline upwards.

"Find out the plan. I'm gonna skulk around a bit to see if I can help update the ordinance."

Sarah shakes her head. She already said the same thing to the others regarding him, and they brushed her off or made jokes about her. Spider-Man just leaves. She's not sure which reaction makes her want to hurt somebody more. But she doesn't pursue him. If these people are going to insist that everyone else is the problem, fine, she's not going to waste any more time playing diplomat.

She does go in search of Sable to see if there is anything vaguely like a plan.

"Well, I like this team.."

[house-of-mystiq.livejournal.com]

"We're good enough. We're smart enough. And gosh darn it, Kevin really likes us."

She shoots him a quick wink.
