James resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the woman. Dense, dense, dense! He’d been hoping she would polarize, another point of validation in the one trick pony’s cap. Novikova obviously planned ahead, posing the inhuman to take the blame if the gamble failed for assaulting team members and demonstrating human sympathies, and recruiting more members from the elite membership would make her plight far more substantial. Multiple occurrences lends credence to Novikova’s charade and the trust she would develop would ideally lead back to Shield.

After all, this [i]conflict[/i] couldn’t be real. Alternate realities his ass.

[color=Mediumspringgreen]“Go in? Did I say go in? What part...”[/color] James blinked at Diggby incredulously. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Contact HQ, give them a quick update of the situation idiot. The guy who can scrape you off the pavement and put you back in one piece is [i]stuck in ice[/i]. Why on God’s green earth would I tell you to go in? No, make a log of both of Novikova’s backstab ploys. Note how quickly they all stepped in line and how they immediately assumed you’d turn against them. You saw how quickly they considered you a threat. They didn’t let you into their little club and they were obviously content to keep it that way.”[/color] James chuckled ruefully. Guess they didn’t let him in either. What a power move. 

He loved it.

[color=mediumspringgreen]“But, at least I know they won’t kill us.”[/color] James jerked his head at Mystique and Saphhire passed out on the floor.[color=Mediumspringgreen]“They went out of their way to subdue us so there isn’t much point in sweating it. They’ll either drop us off or keep us prisoner. Probably the former for me. I don’t imagine the human b… witch or the traitor extraordinaire to want me around long. Which means I’ll be back at shield in no time, drumming up an international manhunt while you all chase after a red herring.”[/color] James smiled ecstatically, practically purring. [color=mediumspringgreen]“I cannot wait to crush her under my heel once this is all over.”[/color]
