But it hadn't been the worst, til it didn't work out. Magneto was out, Cecily wasn't his problem nor was Scarlet Witch. Slitted eyes moved left and right as Richard watched the X-Men and SHIELD agents. A mixed group- a group that did a good job. As much as Magneto was paying him, it wasn't enough to risk capture. Which was looking likely. [color=Olive]"Well, damned."[/color] His tone was impressed, as he sorted out escape possibilities. He couldn't afford to be shoved into some prison system. Not with his sister MIA. He needed to get out of dodge and now. The elevator was his best bet. [color=Olive]"I opened the doors for you."[/color] He reminded the team softly, but letting his voice ring clear. Moving towards the elevator and keeping out of reach of the group- keeping as many as possible in sight. [color=Olive]"Magneto paid me. I shot one of your men to disable. I could have killed him. Could have killed the girl."[/color] Richard nodded towards Carolina. Keeping his hands from his jacket as he moved. Letting them know he was not going to draw a weapon. Silver boy knew his powers as a shifter. [color=Olive]"I go up that elevator and I'm gone. Killing all humans is a waste of my time."[/color] Tilting his head, the Adder prepared to knock aside a grapple, grab or attack. Hoping they would accept reason and a honest Adder. Giving Pietro a sharp look, almost a plea behind those narrowed eyes. [color=Olive]"Speedy... Did I threaten your girl? I tried to get Wanda to give me the first go. Get her out or buy her time for reinforcements to show up. You got your girl. Let me find my sister. Ay's a child."[/color] He didn't know her full name, but he did know that. The countless times he shouted that over waves and wind. He didn't like asking, didn't like that it sounded like begging. He hated begging, but Ay was more important than his pride right now. Though his jaw was tight in fury at this turn of event. A bad mark on his record.

That had hurt, but to be fair. It was the first bruise she got thus far. Toad was a chatty and annoying creature. Though to be fair, his words were easily brushed off. More cruel ones had been said. Though it was the new comer that made the tiger pause. There was a odd look to him. He just seemed very... odd. Shifting the tiger-woman saw why. Violet eyes. That was something she hadn't seen before. But there was a lack of something in them, Ayita thought. It took away from his interesting look. Oddly it was something that Damon had. What was she thinking?! The woman stamped on the thoughts. Now was not to think about humans and their oddness. Though that missing something made her crouch and lunge at Toad. Her claws stretched out and ready to rend the man from head to toe. Or whatever she could nab on him. At least she could take down that irritating cretin. A toad was low on the totem pole, and she was the apex. And... she missed, her paws crashing to the floor as the springing bastard leaped away. She'd rip them all apart and to hell with it! That idiot went downstairs- wounded- and these two were up here! Her amber eyes narrowed with a single thoughts. Humans. Were. Idiots.
