She wasn't here to soothe or pacify. Xian doubted she could truly accomplish either with the stubborn brunette. The outburst from Elektra was expected. But it didn't lessen the sting of her words. Where was she? "I didn't know you expected my presence. Today, or any day." But that was how she had made it sound. Almost as if she had ...wanted her here. She'd reached out once to break into the Danger Room. Xian had assumed it was only to gain strength in numbers. And once asked, she couldn't refuse. Even if she had been put in the effort to give the woman her space and privacy back.
Elektra's words ruffled her feathers unpleasantly. A spark of her own temper flashed in her eyes. "Are you ever not a brat?"
Oh, the temptation to leave her steaming like a bad dumpling was almost too much. It would be so satisfying to turn and walk away, leaving her there. Wouldn't it serve her right? But somehow her fingers had minds of their own and with her long nails, she clipped the lock after only a minute and let the grate start to open on its own.
