"We must escape, yes. It is not lack of experience, sometimes you must know when to retreat," Laura said not unkindly, mimicking what she knew to be a calming gesture by placing one hand on Aya's shoulder, eyes locked on the mess behind them. As she felt the earth shift once more she shifted her attention to John and then the Shadow King's ethereal state. A look of concern washed over her for the briefest fractals of a moment. The air smelled of fear and discouragement, she couldn't help but let it seep in, "Discharge, prepare to escape." Laura's claws receded with a [i]*snakt*[/i] and she bolted around the younger mutant, knowing full and well Discharge was one of the fastest they had - she'd be fine. As she predicted the telepath demolished the earth prison, but...switched targets. Shortly thereafter she heard the comms crackle to life, someone else's of course. A familiar voice, a calming voice. Time to leave. Thanks to Magnus's quick reaction they didn't have another fight on their hands quite yet, though. He definitely earned the right to be called a ninja. X met the others in the Blackbird, she noticed some glances of avoidance and practically bite through the anger and disappointment that was emanating from her team. She eyes locked with Logan for an instant and knew full and well it was coming off of him just as strong as everyone else. Laura's shoulders didn't dare drop, though. "We have done the best we could. There is no shame in this. We have the Shadow King, we have subdued Storm and the Professor will save Plasma. We fought an impossible enemy, do not forget this," she stated with an odd amount of pride and exhaustion in tandem.
