[color=BD892F][h3]Sophia Lemane[/h3][/color]There was a change of plans. And that involved... Shane rescuing a few people, probably his teammates, and putting on some kind of gear that one of the people had been previously wearing. That plan also seemed to involve getting all the rest of the fighting humans along with a dragon, off the battlefield and encasing them in floating bubbles like the one she was in. Not to mention creating a whole lot of that crystal substance and spreading it across the battlefield. 

What that plan didn't involve was any kind of participation from her. All she needed to do was stand back and watch Shane work his power. It was a big relief, really. She preferred it that way. At the end of a few minutes, it was all over. The monsters had been crushed, pulverized, killed, by the crystal dome that had imploded with spikes. She couldn't take her eyes off that scene of destruction until they landed on the ground near a few trucks.

Bringing her gaze over to the sitting form of Shane, she wondered why the Director had been against sending him out before. If he had the power to end such battles quickly without assistance, why hadn't he been sent out earlier? Yes, Shane was injured, but he had still defeated those monsters. But now, there were more injured students, some of them perhaps even being dead. There was an example of that.

Sophia had spotted the body of Christmas being dragged over to Shane, and her eyes widened as Myla dug her hand into one of the boy's wounds, before Shane proceeded to drink from the unmoving boy. The white veil around the boy and Shane didn't go unnoticed by her. [color=BD892F][i]Some kind of weird magic usage?[/i][/color] Not wishing to watch Shane drink the boy's blood like a vampire, she dropped her gaze to the ground, taking a few steps backwards before turning away. 

As she stood there trying to ignore the noises going on around her, a beeping from her cuff sounded, accompanied by a voice. [color=BD892F][i]Combat assessment concluded?[/i][/color] she thought in confusion. [color=BD892F][i]Wait a moment, I remember something like that now.[/i][/color] When the alarm had sounded while she was in the hospital, it had said something about an assessment, but she hadn't really paid that much attention to it. [color=BD892F][i]Don't tell me that's why Shane wasn't sent out, because the Director wanted to see how the new arrivals to the school could fight?[/i][/color] Or maybe she had it all wrong. Everything here was so different, and confusing. She just wanted to go back to the suite that she had [i]all to herself[/i], and be alone.

But now, Brent was talking again, and to her. Lifting her gaze to look at him, she took in his wide smile and cheerful appearance with her own poker face. Did he ever stop smiling or talking? Taking a deep breath, she let it out slowly before shrugging. [color=BD892F]"Perhaps."[/color] Maybe that had been the Director's intention, maybe not. What had been done had been done, and there was no changing it, right? Though that still wouldn't stop her from pondering over it.
