Lance looked at her.<br/>"If that's all that's hindering you, then I should tell you this."<br/>He sat down on the bike.<br/>"I wanted Sniper to tell you this himself, but since you won't go near him, I'll do it."<br/>He took her hands.<br/>"Sniper told me that it all began when Sabretooth tried to recruit him for the Brotherhood. Holly just happened to be watching, and Sniper defended her from him."<br/><br/>"That same night, Sniper defeated Juggernaut, but was himself defeated by Magneto and forced to join the Brotherhood. He was sent on a mission to assassinate Storm and Cyclops, and feared that Magneto was watching him on the job. So, he pretended to be evil and shot above the X-Men, but with all the chaos, some were really hit, including you. He was worried that if he did not fire at you and the other X-Men, they would take it out on Holly, and Sniper hates Holly being hurt more than anything."<br/><br/>"He told me that he wished he never had attacked the Mansion, and allowed himself to be defeated by Tristan, a plant-wielding X-Man. He left the Brotherhood as soon as he could, and is now trying to get back on the right track. Sniper is a good man, and a great leader. If you just get to know him better, you'll see that. After hearing all this, if you still don't want to join the Freedom Force, then that's your choice. But I've told you the truth, and that's all I can say."
