Several things began to worry Nina as she swiftly followed in Damon's footsteps. One, hearing the commotion coming from the corridor ahead. Two, Damon's concern of Ayita going on a tiger-themed rampage. Three, the strange voice appearing over the intercom. She could only imagine that this was 'Wonderland', the second unknown mutant that Pietro had only just recalled. Her warning went ignored - all mutants and humans not currently with Nina would be classed as a threat, and dealt with accordingly. No matter how charming they seemed... and this one was certainly trying hard to be charming.

Looking at the man - Richard Laine, as he called himself - with a scrutinising gaze, Nina's eyes flicked only momentarily to Ayita before landing back on their foe. She seemed stable enough, but Nina wasn't really looking forward to wrestling a tiger any time soon. As the shifter stepped back, Nina stepped forward slowly, hoping the younger girl would take the hint and move closer to Damon. He seemed to be a calming influence on her anyway. It would have been preferable to flank Richard, but the corridor was too narrow... either way, they were never going to lose him with a speedster on hand. If Ayita could keep her cool, the group could quite possibly maintain the upper hand.

[color=goldenrod]"I don't think you're in any place to start requesting favours from us, Mr. Laine."[/color] Nina began, still stepping forward calmly, yet slowly - not in an aggressive manner, but more diplomatic. [color=goldenrod]"We're not likely to trust any information you give us, so you really have nothing to offer other than your surrender. I'm sure S.H.I.E.L.D. will be kind with you, if you cooperate."[/color] As of yet, she had no idea what this man's powers were. Clearly he put plenty of stock in charisma, but Nina had been around enough people in her life - Tony Stark included - to know that charisma didn't count for anything that really mattered. [color=goldenrod]"Pietro, contact Agent Stark and ask her to double check his identity. And if you could recall anything of his mutant nature, that would be wonderful."[/color] A touch of sarcasm coloured her voice, but so did positivity - her eyes still watching Richard's every move closely, Nina was feeling somewhat cocky that they had managed to almost apprehend an enemy so far, and with no injuries. Pessimism still lingered in the back of her mind, whispering worst-case scenarios in her ear, but Mr. Laine seemed to be cooperating... so far. Hopefully this Wonderland girl didn't decide to join their party.

[color=lightcoral]"Yeah... maybe."[/color] Charlie mumbled in response to Cassandra. Her offer was a generous one, considering how busy she probably was as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent... but in truth, Charlie still felt apprehensive about using his powers. Part of him hoped that if he didn't use them at all, they'd just go away. A childish thought, but it was one he was still secretly clinging too. Whether today's events would change this mindset or not, he didn't know. But things were starting to kick off, and he jumped lightly as he heard a rather amused female's voice come over the intercom.

Deciding that still following Cassandra would be the best thing to do, Charlie kept looking over his shoulder every few seconds or so, wondering if one of the two mutants mentioned would start running up to them, ready for blood.

[color=lightcoral]"So, um... what happened at the Power Plant that that chick mentioned?"[/color] He asked Cassandra quietly, glancing over her shoulder as she checked yet another empty room.
