Leighton regained her composure as Max and her shared a laugh. She couldn't remember the last time she actually laughed at something. All that her life was seemed to be filled with loneliness, hatred, contempt, anger, sadness. It wasn't until she found that invisible wall and discovered who she was that she felt anything close to resembling happiness. And then it was gone. And she was left with a choice. A choice she still did not know was the right one.

As they neared the entrance, she saw the others. Polaris and Scarlet Witch were having some sibling thing going on, but her eyes went to Jinx and the triplets, fully expecting some backlash from all of them. She was prepared for it. But what she was not prepared for was Jinx attacking Max. Granted, it was kind of funny to watch the two of them go at it. After all, his last encounter with Max was when that group infiltrated their office. 

Leighton was too late to stop the attack, but she was damn sure not going to let it continue. She stormed forward, standing in front of Max as he regained himself, on the verge of tears. She didn't know who this jackass was, but she would not let him take control of this. [color=FB5A7E]"We're the ones who came to pick you guys up, so back off!"[/color] The comment about bloodstained hands, she knew, would hit Max harder than Jin probably meant it. [color=FB5A7E]"It's that kind of mentality that will lead to death and destruction when it could be avoided. We're here to help ensure that all life is saved, humans and mutants alike. Now, I suggest we all calm down and get back to the headquarters. Or would you rather take someone on that is expecting it now."[/color] She felt ice grow to her fist, but she kept them down. She did not intend to start anything.

Ana rolled her eyes. The situation was growing too much, too quickly. [color=9A86AD]"As entertaining as it would be to see everyone go for each other's throats, that will not be happening. We'll return to headquarters. I imagine the ice wall will not be up anymore, so there may still be protestors on the streets waiting. Jinx was right in some regard though. You can't prevent this fight, not when it's already in motion. The sooner you come to terms with that, the sooner you can do whatever it is you intend to do here with us. I suggest you both think long and hard about what you hope to accomplish and if you intend to stay here."[/color] With that, she stepped to the side and motioned everyone to get a move on.
