Leighton rolled her eyes as the valley girl's talked. If only they knew the struggle. Hell, she had been them mere months before. Talkin about mutants like they was some disease or virus. It was horrible to think about, but she also couldn't hide that art of her. She knew better now, or at least, she tried.

Leighton looked as the message pinged. So now she was supposed to do their bidding? Bringing them people to...what? Question them? Indoctrinate them? She hated this and she hated not having Max nearby to confide in, but she decided she would not be a pawn. It was time to be the Queen. She glanced around, eyes latching on to Jinx's. Was he following her? He noticed her too. She then saw the girl and Jinx dashed off. He was quick. she had to give that to him. She followed as Jinx moved to the girl. She couldn't hear what he was saying, but considering he wasn't being a team player, she doubted it was good.

Soon, she could feel the tension grow. She had no idea what he was thinking. Doing anything in a crowded store during the holidays was a surefire way to get spotted. It wasn't until she saw the girl retaliate against Jinx that she knew she had to act fast. She also couldn't help but like the girl now. Leighton glanced to see if anyone was taking notice before she swooped in. She held her hands up in surrender. She didn't know the girl's powers and she wasn't there for a fight. [color=FB5A7E]"Whoa, it's ok. I'm not here to hurt you or do anything you don't want. I don't know what his deal is but I assume he deserved it. My name is Leighton and I'm here to help. I won't ask you to trust me considering how that just went with him, but all I ask is that we leave this crowded place now and go somewhere more private, but not secluded. A small coffee shop maybe? My treat? Once there I'll explain everything and show you options. This is scary, I know. But we need to leave, now."[/color] Leighton held out her hand, hoping the girl would take it so they could leave together without Jinx interfering.

Once she had satisfied the urge to be alone, she left her room and made her way to where the others were. As she did so, she began to think about future plans. She had, thus far, managed to gain some authority within the Hellfire Club, but that didn't come without strings attached. And was it truly a blessing? Either way, it served her well and it was the next step. She would have to move in on one of the others next. Reeva seemed the most likely candidate and it would be unexpected. Magneto was too brash, too unpredictable. She would be his own downfall.

Once in the room, she noticed the eerie silence that followed. Something had happened as she was gone. [color=9A86AD]"Fa la la la la, and all that."[/color] She maneuvered into the room, allowing the others to continue their business. She sat down and pretended to be uninterested in everything. If it was important, they'd tell her. She was growing more bored by the minute, so anything she could do would be a welcome addition to her day.
