Sniper had descended from the rooftop and found the former Brotherhood jet. Once on board, he found his gun and retrieved it, glad to be armed again. He had recognized Elianna as he was climbing down, and used the sensors on his own jet to locate theirs. He then went under the cockpit and ripped the wiring out, preventing the jet from starting or being able to lift off. So, now, even if Elianna did get Holly, she could not escape back to Genosha, and Sniper's own jet was well-hidden, impossible to find unless you knew where it was. He then headed back to the Mansion.<br/><br/>Once he was back at the Mansion, he stood with the X-Men and saw that Holly had fallen ill. This enraged him, but he kept his cool for the sake of his team. He approached Elianna, who he was glad to see had been trapped by Lance.<br/>"Well, I see Magneto hasn't given up in trying to get us back."<br/>He then turned to Holly.<br/>"But knowing him, I'd say you're bluffing."<br/><br/>"Magneto has desired a telepath of his own for a long time. Thus, he would never authorize any method of capturing her that could put her life in danger. He knew that something like this could happen, and if she died, she would be useless to him."<br/>He picked up the snake.<br/>"This snake is venomous, but it is neither rare nor lethal. The venom causes a few outer symptoms, but I'm sure with rest and a few medical treatments, she'll be fine."<br/><br/>He smiled.<br/>"The jig is up, Elianna. Your best bet would be to surrender. There's no other way out."<br/><br/>Lance was pleased to see Lily return to his side.<br/>"I'm glad you're safe."<br/>He put his arm around her. He then waited until the X-Men moved to take her into custody before he released her.
