Re: [marvel: mutant rescue]
[The big blue guy was a Catch-22 (not that Max had ever read the book). On the one hand, she suspected he was going to be terrifying in an enclosed space. On the other hand, he made stealth a challenge. And part of her was vainly pleased that the only thing her mutation had done was change her hair and eye color. And the kid reminded her of Seattle, of New York, and she wasn't sure she needed the walk through down memory lane just then.
When Gwen said to head around the side, she moved ahead, old habits dying hard. She tugged off one of her gloves as she went, and she didn't bother with her gun, not yet. But she did stay well away from the kid and West. The last thing she wanted to do was test Dailey's theory about her power absorption on one of them.
The passcode worked like a charm, and she looked at the others before stepping inside.
The ramp led down, so that was the way they were headed.] Dailey, do they have eyes? [AKA, do they know we're coming?] How many heartbeats inside?
