Terry shook his head.<br/>"Of course not. I'll be here to look after you."<br/>Rowan suddenly turned to him, and he was relieved that she actually treated him like a human being.<br/>"Yeah, it's just regular snake venom. It won't require much anti-venom, and the most we can do is let her rest."<br/><br/>Lance nodded.<br/>"I understand, but the Freedom Force sticks together. If one of us is hurt, we're all hurt."<br/>Sniper nodded.<br/>"I couldn't have said it better myself."<br/>He gently kissed her forehead.<br/><br/>Lance could see the worry on Lily's face.<br/>"It will be okay. She'll pull through, and everything will be fine."<br/>Sniper turned to Lance.<br/>"There's a training room downstairs that I'd like for you and Lily to use. The controls are simple enough to use."<br/><br/>"Watch each other's backs. Elianna is here, and only a few of the X-Men can be trusted. Be careful."<br/>Lance nodded.<br/>"I understand."<br/>He then turned and left the room, taking Lily with him.<br/><br/>Sniper took Holly's hand, and his expression showed his love and concern for her. He didn't care what these X-Men thought, but he didn't like having to be on-guard all the time in what was supposed to be a safe haven. He had never meant to shoot anybody, only hitting the ones not battle-hardened enough to dodge and the one experienced one who had hit him with a chair instead of seeking cover. No one had died, and their leader had seen the purity of his motives. What was it going to take to make them stop distrusting him? What was it going to take before he could stop worrying? How long would it take before they realized that they were lucky just to be alive?
