She was swept up by surprise just as several tranquilizer darts flew past her. "They have M16's too!" Laynia reminded him uselessly, yelling over the roar of the shield. American's were supposed to be gun-nuts, so maybe he understand her terminology? When Sam released her, Laynia allowed her own powers to kick in and hovered in the air.
She waved her hand in the air to clear some of the rising smoke. It didn't take a genius to see that he was going to blast off any second. It was all happening very quickly, and the only part of Sam's words she understood was 'Go!'. Who was she to contest rocket-boy? "I hope you know what you are doing." She didn't totally trust leaving the situation in Sam's hands, but she didn't have much of a choice. With quick steps, she pushed her way through to clear the area and continue her escape.
