Despite what Thalia had said, Nina couldn't help but worry. She had no idea who this woman was, where she'd come from or why she was helping them out, but she was getting injured for the sole reason of protecting Nina. Yes, Nina was keeping the plane aloft at the moment, but she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt on behalf of Thalia. Guilt fell way to panic as blood fell onto Nina's face, and the realisation that Thalia had been hit once again. All she wanted to do was to hold onto Thalia the way the dragon-woman was holding onto her, just to ensure she didn't fall from her injuries. Thankfully, as the plane entered the city limits, the Sentinels seemed to fall back. She couldn't feel relief though, not until the plane was landed, injuries were tended, and everybody involved was safe and sound. 

Hearing Thalia cough painfully, Nina's head turned to offer whatever comfort she could to the injured woman, her strained expression assembled into one of surprise as she saw a very familiar figure arrive and shoulder the plane's wing beside her. 

[color=f7941d]"Looks like you could all use a hand."[/color] His voice filtered through the comm link, and almost immediately the weight shifted, allowing Nina to wrap one arm around Thalia while keeping the other one up supporting the plane. [color=f7941d]"Fancy seeing you here, Van Essenhout."[/color] After more than a decade, Nina had always wondered what her first words would be to Tony Stark. She hadn't imagined their first reunion to be in this situation, and had always pictured his first words to her to be just as venomous as his daughter's. She certainly hadn't expected to feel such a rush of relief to see him once again.

[color=goldenrod]"Thank God... we're safe."[/color] An Avenger being present was enough to put anybody at ease.

[color=lightcoral]"Hey man, take it easy."[/color] Charlie said with a wince, looking at Lance's back as he spoke up vehemently about Jakobsen. Not that he thought Lance was wrong, he just didn't want him getting hurt any more. This was a brand new kid at the academy and here he was, sliced to bits by broken glass. It wasn't fair, and Charlie didn't see where this Jakobsen guy got off hurting innocent kids. The sentinels had pulled back when they hit the city to avoid civilian casualties, but more than half of the kids on this ship were still minors. Where was their protection? Were they seriously just going to blow a ship of children out of the sky because they had powers? One kid's mutant ability was a frog tongue. That was it. Just a long, stretchy, sticky tongue. How the hell was that a threat to national security?

Looking out of the window before he lost his temper (His fingertips were already starting to ice over), Charlie noticed Iron Man outside and felt a small thrill of excitement. He'd never met an Avenger before, but now wasn't really the time to fangirl over Tony Stark. Guin would never forgive him, anyway.

[color=lightcoral]"Looks like the cavalry has arrived. You want a hand getting off the ship when we land?"[/color] He offered to Lance quietly, after briefly looking towards Allison and deciding that Ayita could take care of it. Something was going between the Laine siblings at the moment, and he had no desire to get involved by offering to help out Blondie. Besides, he knew how being in pain made it hard to walk, even if the injury was fairly light.
