She was his best friend and he couldn't imagine X-Mansion without her. He got along well with Annie, and had even started opening up to her, but Carolina had seen his artwork - he had let her catch a glimpse at his soul. And with all of the trauma of the breakup, Neil was maddeningly clinging to Carolina's friendship like a life preserver, turning it into the most important facet of his life. Mary's words melted the flames of ice in his heart. He could tell that she actually meant it - that they weren't going to just leave Carolina and Elizabeth behind. Some people might have just said that to be nice. A single tear cascaded down his face and he nodded at her, sniffling a bit. [color=12ABB0]"Thanks, Mary - that helps."[/color] He didn't say it to be sarcastic, bitter, or cruel. If there was one thing his breakup had done for him that was positive, it made him a lot more aware of his emotions - and a little bit more comfortable expressing them. Lance, however, annoyed the hell out of Neil. How was being trapped inside of a game for 20 years a [i]positive[/i] thing? His hearing was selective - whether it was willful or a result of his hearing aids - and he chose to ignore the parts of Banner's statement that were nice. He instead zeroed in on everything that could annoy him, with Neil making an ugly face at his forced partner. What he wouldn't give to punch Banner in the jaw... He blinked, doing a double take after Mary committed an unspeakable act of animal cruelty. Hyenas looked too similar to household pets. It might have been from her fear of fire causing it. It reminded him a bit of when she yelled at Allison at Stark Tower. [color=12ABB0]"Uh...."[/color] he trailed off, before swallowing. Neil focused on as many of the hyenas as he could, before waving his arm and causing most of them to go flying backwards, hitting the wall as gently as he could.

I keep forgetting she's afraid of fire,[/color][/i] Guin grimaced. She didn't blame Iris for the situation though. Fire went hand in hand with the life of a superhero, though it usually came in the form of deadly explosions. Mary chose this life, so she would have to work on through her fear - they couldn't ban people from the team with pyrokinesis after all. It would be like forbidding Iris from using weed while at the X-Mansion because of Guin's sobriety. Everyone had to handle their own stuff. Like right now, they had a bunch of crazy hyenas to deal with. [color=cc33ff]"F.R.I.D.A.Y., do me a favor and enact the Awesome Mix Protocol,"[/color] Guin requested. [color=00ddcc][i]"That's definitely a priority right now, boss,"[/i][/color] F.R.I.D.A.Y. quipped in response. [color=cc33ff]"Did I ask for commentary on my life choices? What are you, Pepper?"[/color] Guin complained. The A.I. didn't say anything in reply, but the speakers in the Danger Room roared to life as [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbPSlB3d7N4]music[/url] began to play - one song in particular on loop. Guin tilted her head slightly, before she snickered. [color=cc33ff]"Jokes on you, F.R.I.D.A.Y., I can kick ass to this."[/color] She banged her head a little bit to the beat of the music, transported to a simpler time briefly - a world where the biggest problem was whether or not there would be a new episode of Avatar that week. She fired off a rapid round of repulsor blasts, knocking out six of the hyenas. She didn't feel right about firing to kill. Loki or not, animals were better than people and essentially innocents. [color=cc33ff][i]Any suggestions on how to deal with someone having a psychotic break?[/i][/color] Guin whispered to Pietro. With his sister, he was somewhat of an expert on it. [color=7ea7d8][i]Having anti-psychotics on hand would probably help, but restraining her would probably cause more problems for us...[/i][/color] [color=cc33ff][i]Do you happen to have some on you? Like maybe you ran through a hospital today and grabbed some? Just for fun?[/i][/color] It was no secret that Pietro was a bit of a kleptomaniac. When he had been hypnotized by Mesmero, he still had brought her a stolen hat from the Pentagon. And early on in their relationship, he had stolen her watch, P.H.I.L. [color=7ea7d8][i]Uh no, sorry.[/i][/color] [color=cc33ff]"Uh, hey Mare, you wanna break out some sock puppets and talk about our feelings?"[/color]
