Not in the least. His face was a mask of a savage snarl. Wanda went strange, Magneto went down, now that strong armed woman snatched the virus. Not that the latter was something he was horribly sad about. He didn't approve of the plague. It was a means to a ends yes, but against all humanity? It was utter madness and there were better ways. Slower ways, yes. But better! Distracted by Nina and Magneto, he missed Carolina til the girl spoke. A rookie mistake. Whirling Richard grabbed the girl by her arm and swung her into his chest. Pinning her arms with his own. The gun's muzzle laying against her cheek. Moving so the rest of the X-Men could see the entrapped girl. [color=Olive]"Now, now... Don't want anyone to get hurt do we?"[/color] The Adder chuckled loudly. Calling out over the din of the fight. [color=Olive]"The vial, Mademoiselle."[/color] Leaning his head down, Richard smirked at Carolina. Speaking lowly, softly. [color=Olive]"Be very still, and try nothing of whatever powers or training you may or may not have."[/color] He advised, patting her cheek with the muzzle. Hardly a comforting gesture, but the best he could do under this situation.

His taunts however flew over fur without a barb sinking in. The woman-tiger was beyond his barbs and her eyes were filled with only the hunt. The ground below her trembled and shook with savage delight. Toad would have to wait, her amber eyes turned towards the cause of the shaking. Both the human and the tigress understood the agreement. This would have to be dealt with first. Her tail lashed the ground as the tiger turned her focus. Whirling in a spring, she tackled Avalanche. The man had no sense to be dressed in such a foolish way. When one argued with a great cat without the proper equipment then the man usually lost. The tiger snarled down at Avalanche. Her claws digging into his shoulders, as her fangs barred in a savage growl. [i]"You're not even a mutant... Mindless animal."[/i] Wonderland's words haunted her, and the tiger saw nothing to be haunted about. The two instincts growled and snarled at Avalanche. Fangs darted in towards Avalanche's throat. The strong survived, the weak fell. That was the law of nature. And this man was going to bring the building down! That could not happen.
