 "X-23. You're making this less enjoyable than I had hoped. You were so full of spunk the last time we fought." Kimura lunged for Laura, grabbing her jacket, which the teen managed to wiggle out of it. Kimura tossed the coat to the side and charged at Laura. Laura managed to turn and was hit with Kimura's full force as she was pushed into tables and chairs. The two wrestled for control, with Laura pulling Kimura close before head-butting her hard with a crack. That had Kimura letting go, and Laura managed to fall over on the other side of the table. "Fuck." The young feral stayed hidden behind the table as the sounds of her two dates filled the air. Gaia followed behind Liam closely, walking down the hall in search of their friend. It had been too long since she had left for the restroom and they had begun to worry. Thankfully, having a feral on hand meant it was much easier to track people down. Emotion hit her hard and fast as they neared the door, causing an involuntary gasp to slip out. Something was very wrong. Gaia stopped and tugged on Liam’s arm, whispering. “Wait.” "She needs help!" he whispered back, hearing the conflict on the other side. It didn't matter what caused it or that he wasn't a fighter, they had to do something! It didn’t seem that Liam had any weapons on his person, and Gaia hadn’t had the foresight. She gave Liam a go on then motion with her head. Springing into action once more, the mutant grabbed an abandoned water bottle from the hall and chucked it into the room with an assist from her TK, metal making a beeline for Laura’s assailant. Screaming as he ran into the room in the hopes of distracting... whoever was attacking, Liam utilized the fine art of moving over trying to engage in combat. They'd already determined he wasn't a fighter. The water bottle smacked Kimura from behind, and she looked down to see the makeshift weapon lying at her feet. "What the fuck..." She got defensive as a boy came screaming into the room. "Teenagers." She unholstered her gun, but the pain of two pairs of claws sunk into her back, and she yelled out in pain. She may have been augmented to be more durable, but why couldn't they try to make her more durable against adamantium? Laura used her strength to move Kimura further into the room as she was taking full advantage of Kimura being distracted but also she didn't want Kimura to shoot at her friends. The guns flew from her grip by an unknown source, and in a second both Laura and Kimura were sailing out the window. Gaia, who has slunk in behind Liam’s commotion, put all her strength into the shove, grey energy billowing around her. Laura would be fine. Probably. Staring out the window, Liam debated going to help Laura or not. On the one hand, he should help. On the other hand, he was pretty sure he would be no help. "The hell is going on?" He muttered. "I AM FINE!" Laura yelled from outside and gave a thumbs up but hadn't move to stand quite yet. |
