Charlie was beginning to feel less and less confident in the abilities of the team as various things unfolded; some guy with silver hair nearly blowing them up; the tiger-girl having a temper tantrum at getting in the car, the guy waking up from a nap telling everyone quite cheerfully that they could die, some chick who was apparently an agent making jokes about huffing chemicals, a chatterbox blonde that seemed just as nervous as he felt, and some guy with sick tattoos sizing up the wild girl as if wanting to challenge her. Sinking back in his chair in a dejected manner, Charlie's legs seemed to increase their speed in bouncing up and down.

[i][color=lightcoral]"At least the suits are fire-proof."[/color][/i] He thought to himself grimly, already anticipating a dark outcome for this mission. They hadn't even discussed a plan as of yet, which was also concerning. As far as he knew, this mission was an important one. Fate of the world, and all that. Surely someone other than a bunch of... whatever the people in this van were, were better suited for the job?

Drumming his fingers lightly on his knees, he cocked his head in agreement to Allison. [color=lightcoral]"Yeah, what she said. Not the "super-pumped" part, just the "game-plan" part. You do actually have one, right?"[/color] He asked doubtfully, wondering how this group was going to work out in a real battle with real consequences when they had arguments over pressing explosion buttons.

Nina had directed a somewhat sharp look at Marygold, but didn't say anything about the unfolding chaos in the van. She was more than aware that most people Nina had interacted with disliked her tendency to take control - although only in the manner of trying to deescalate a situation or make it better, it was still annoying. Even Nina could understand that. The X-Men (Or X-Children, as they were currently acting.) were under Marygold's command, so Nina left the job to her. Undermining her authority wouldn't help the kid grow as a leader anymore anyway.

Turning to Cassandra and her sister, Nina's expression warmed slightly. Although it would make one ten times more worried out on the field, it must be nice to work together with your sibling. She was sure her friend was feeling equal parts concern and happiness at having her younger sister sat beside her, especially on such an important mission. At the very least, Cassandra could take solace in knowing that if they somehow failed, her sister would live. Though Cassandra and every other human would die, so it would be a bittersweet thought. Best not to let it happen in the first place, Nina thought.

[color=goldenrod]"I hope you enjoy your time at the Institute, Carolina."[/color] She said pleasantly. [color=goldenrod]"When ignoring the life-threatening missions, it's a lovely place to live. Excellent training rooms, too."[/color] She vaguely wondered what kind of offensive training Carolina had - her power didn't really seem like it would be useful out on the field, but then again, powers could be surprising in all kinds of ways.
