Elara was apprehensive of her calm approach as she noticed the blonde pull out an entire sword. The rest didn't really seem to care. Psylocke's presence was the only thing they reacted to. Jolene came up to give her a hug. Elara awkwardly patted her back, caught off guard that practically a stranger showed her such affection. Especially on a mission. As the girl pulled away from her, Elara felt warmth emanate from her neck and pass down her spine into her body. She blinked, suddenly feeling much stronger. Jolene had done something, and Elara gave her a small nod of thanks. She wasn't sure if she would it against this group; they seemed pretty calm at this point. If things went south, though, Elara would be able to handle each of the rogues.

Psylocke exchanged words with the rogue team members, and Elara glanced between the tall woman with red hair as she spoke and the unconscious man on the floor. Dead? Was this the team member that presumably died in the attack from Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch? She eyed the body, wondering just how complicated this entire mission was. Gardner lied to all of them, but why? What had she expected to come out of this mission?

Elara was about to voice her concern about Gardner to the entire group, but found herself stumbling back as the room around her shifted. [i]What? Another illusionist? But how? And who?[/i] She turned to reach for the door behind her, but it and the entire wall it was attached to vanished. Instead, she found herself staring at empty space until a huge wall about 20 feet before her stopped it. Elara looked around the entire room. They'd been in a giant room this entire time. Was the whole building just a room? When had the real world melted into the illusion?

She didn't have much time to think about that, as she laid eyes on a [i]full-sized[/i] T-Rex. [color=E5D0FF]"Oh, fuck,"[/color] she muttered, wincing as the beast released a guttural roar. At first she was convinced that it was just another illusion, but as the quick-to-attack team members around her began to assault the dinosaur, Eli was shocked to see it was real. Especially when it tail-whipped a few of them. She was also surprised to see that neither Psylocke nor the unconscious man was in the room with them.

Frustration and anger suddenly flowed through Elara's veins. She'd been fooled, this entire time. Even when she was examining Psylocke, she appeared completely real. Either the illusionist was a strong one, or Psylocke had slipped off and been replaced by an illusion the moment she left the elevator. After all, that had been the only time her back was to the purple woman. So, was she behind this, too?

The others in the room weren't faring well against the beast, so Elara decided it was time for her to step in. There was certainly nothing she could do physically against it, but she had other means of debilitating a person or [i]creature.[/i] Fortunately she remembered a school lesson when they covered the Cretacious period in school. Tyrannosaurus Rex were smart creatures, their brain larger than a humans, but they relied on their depth perception and smell to hunt their prey. Their hearing was sub-par. So, the best Elara could think of to hinder the beast would be to remove the most important ones, it's sight and smell. It would be the best low effort move. An illusion wouldn't be enough, unfortunately.

[color=E5D0FF]"Alright, everyone! I'm gonna need some cover, but I may be able to stop the beast from smelling and seeing you,"[/color] she explained, shouting so that the group could hear her over the chaos. It felt odd to explain what she was about to do, but she knew that the group of old Serval employees would need an explanation. [color=E5D0FF]"You're all capable of stopping this beast, but you're going to need my help!"[/color]

That said, Elara backed a few yards away from the action, keeping her eyes on the T. Rex. She felt her mind reach for the dinosaurs, and an eerie feeling crawled over her body as she connected with it. She'd never attempted this with an animal, but she knew that the science behind their perceptions worked the same as a humans. First, she searched for it's sense of sight, and successfully rendered its eyes useless. It was the first step, but she knew that she still needed to remove the big one: smell. Unfortunately, as she stretched her control over the beast she found it difficult to hinder it's smell as well. She would have normally stopped and tried again, but she wasn't sure if she could. So, instead of the risk of losing the entire illusion, Elara decided to stick with the one she'd already cast.

[color=E5D0FF]"Okay, scratch that! It can't see you, but it can still smell you. There are still ways to get around that! You've got this."[/color] For now, Elara would just hold tight and hope that the action wouldn't come her way. [color=E5D0FF]"How many superabled does it take to stop a T. Rex?"[/color] She mumbled, making a joke of the situation to keep herself from fearing it.
