The government showing off a new attack dog, and the brutal capture of a mutant...Unlike many of the others inside the school, her feelings on the matter were torn, and it was partly to that effect that she had fled the lounge. As Rogue got angry, her Brotherhood sympathies shining through, and the other two girls...No. No, she had needed time to think. Time to gather her thoughts...<br/><br/>So the hour between seeing the news cast and the the Scot walking outside was a blur. Someone might have come and talked to her, she wasn't sure. But ultimate, she needed fresh air, and still holding her Bible to her stomach, arms wrapped around it, she stepped outside. She had every intention of going to her clearing in the woods, and sitting there. Yes, it was late...But the weather was still warm. Warmer that it would have been this time of year in Scotland, anyway. Though, there she would have been in her mother's lab, safe, with none of these worries that came with living in America. It was funny how times had changed.<br/><br/>The land of the free, becoming the land of the afraid...<br/><br/>She was not paying much attention to what was going on around her as she walked, eyes downcast to the paved walkway in front of the school. The thud of armored boots landing a bit away from her, and then the heavy thudding as Colossus appeared and walked by her. And even then, she was oblivious...right up until she walked straight into the metal Russian's back.<br/><br/>"Wha--? Ow..." she mumbled, rubbing her nose, looking up at the man. Then she peeked around him, and saw Salvation...and her stomach dropped. That was the last thing she wanted to see...She glanced around, as Colossus asked the girl from the television to be handed over. Some man in a mask was staring at Salvation, and down the walkway, someone running towards them. A part of her felt like she should say something, especially as tense as the situation was. She _should_ go running back into the mansion and hide under her bed, but...Would that count as sudden?<br/><br/>"No one here want t' fight either..." she said softly, her slender frame stepped from before where Colossus's much larger body had her rather nicely hidden. "...Thank you...for not killing her. Please, just..." she paused. Her heart was racing. Why was she doing this? Of, for the love of God, why was she doing this. A hand came up to clutch reassuringly at her cross, as she just nodded to Salvation. No doubt the sensors in the suit could pick up the girl was terrified. Elevated heart rate, dilating pupils, a shudder in her voice. "...Have a good day, sir. Go in...in God's grace..." she bid him, before looking at Yolande. She wasn't strong enough to take the girl to the infirmary, so, she just glanced up at Colossus. And, well, she was a bit too afraid to stray more that a foot from his side in that moment.
