[h1][b][i][color=MediumSpringGreen][center]James Kingston[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h1] [center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/MKVmbk8X/image.png[/img][/center] [hr] [center][color=MediumSpringGreen][b]Location[/b][/color]: Hellfire Manor [color=MediumSpringGreen][b]Skills[/b][/color]: N/A[/center] James considered the new information. An alternate dimension where time ran faster and their technological advancement led to augmented advancement in mutations. Considering what the few they’d encounter could already do, fighting was probably the only and simultaneously worst option they had. Maybe Magneto could hijack a nuke, drop it in the heart of their little Vault, and be done with it. Though with the Underground’s luck, the Vault probably had an advanced mutant who’d just absorb it or something. [color=mediumspringgreen]“That’s going to be a long conversation, sweetheart. Let’s focus on making sure we’re around to have it, okay?”[/color] James replied to Casper’s sudden interest in bringing torture methods into the bedroom. He pressed a kiss to Casper’s cheek, sent Sunshine an exasperated look at the unnecessary vitriol but refrained from saying anything due to present circumstances, and made his way to Max, pressed his palm to the sorcerer’s forehead long enough to fix him the rest of the way up. [color=mediumspringgreen] “You’ve been working on your healing magic since I last saw it, huh? You did a bit more than stabilizing now, good job.”[/color] James’ head whipped at a loud [i]crash[/i] from where Andy and Zari had vanished upstairs. James was off like a shot, taking steps three at a time and skidding through the entrance to the secret passage the others vanished into. The trail of blood led to a violent looking cyborg and James needed a second to take stock of the situation. Polaris, Zari, Maria, and Krisina had entered the passage and were immediately engaged by the cyborg. Kristina was down and Andy was… James looked at a large hole in the wall and beyond where a wooden shaft protruded from her stomach. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Guys, we have two casualties and I need cover to do my job!”[/color] James shouted back into the mansion proper before dashing to Andy. Fuck, this was bad. He was going to have to pull her off to heal her and he didn’t have a lot of time in between. Really, he needed another set of hands but with how insane these Vaultian’s were, he wasn’t sure if he was going to have time to wait. [hider=held roll] Reactive Adaptation if attacked![/hider]
