Re-Match
Paris was watching one of the screens getting a broadcast of some news service. A state visit by the president of Ghudaza to Washington, D.C. His teeth were grinding with every word the man spared for the cameras. He should probably turn this off. He had so few outlets for his anger here, and so much of it.

But he doesn't turn it off.

	"I know." His voice was stern and he held his hand out to call his helmet to him. This was a situation that could quickly go bad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"X-Men, report to the hangar bay immediately." Cyclops voice says over the PA system. Emma, can you hear me? Scott asks as finishes fitting his combat visor into place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Why must you always ask such inane questions, darling? Of course I can hear you. What do you need of me. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There's a crackle in the hangar, and the smell of, well, singed flesh and hair.

In a small part of his mind, the effort this will take to take care of his hair bothers him more than the pain.

Most of his mind is trying not to think, though, as he collapses to his knees on the floor and tries to breathe.

On the news broadcasts, the fight itself seems to ahve gone off without much attention, except for some comment about a very peculiar storm in the clouds, but one scary-looking mutant making that kind of entrance at a political function, killing a few politicians, and then being dragged away by another scary-looking mutant, one linked to Magneto, is certainly under discussion.

	Scott made it to the hangar and finds Exodus. "Exodus, what the hell were you thinking?" Cyclops asks, looking down at the man. Asking if he's insane is beside the point; it's already established. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That there was a monster, and I knew where it was. So I was going to kill it." As he looks up, his voice is hoarse from the pain, but those flickering eyes have a slight expression of 'what are you, new?' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And Scott's return expression is something of a mirror of Exodus' own.

"You /do/ realize that you could have asked for /help/? You do realize that you could have not gone with 'smiting' as Plan A and come up with a couple of extra plans in the meantime, don't you?

This is the sort of thing we're trying to avoid, Exodus; people being caught in the crossfire." Scott says.

	"Which is why I told him to draw his opponent away from the bystanders." He stood behind Scott with his helmet in hand but not on his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did, Sir. But in the end, he got away. Some demonic form of teleportation." Exodus has a tendency to refer to anything evil that doesn't appear to be of human or mutant origin as 'demonic,' he doesn't much distinguish between other species, normal magic, anything of the sort.

	"Here is a very novel concept, gentlemen and lackey...when wanting to avoid crossfire, don't engage the opponent at all." Emma showed up at the hangar, curious to see what Scott wanted, just in time to catch conversation. "Episodes such as this only fuel fires we're trying to extinguish."

	"No, Exodus, she is right." He held up a hand to keep him from arguing further. "But she also is not considering that perhaps I understand that but there were reasons I let you go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...His master is agreeing with Emma Frost. That might hurt worse than the whole searing-in-his-flesh thing. But Exodus remains silent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And you have no knowledge of what you speak. You may be correct that under most circumstances you should avoid the crossfire by avoiding the fight and that this will bring unwanted attention but you are not correct that it should not have been done." He was not whole heartedly agreeing with Emma he was only saying that most times what she said was true. He glanced at Exodus and made a calming gesture with one hand.

"It is all right. You did well to move the conflict to where you did."

	"I know that by condoning and encouraging this you've thrown into question and risk the entire response to this situation and demonstrated once again that you are not a team player." Emma looked at Scott. "I think a discussion is in order." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Exodus, in the future, I'd prefer it if you took a team of X-Men with you, should you decide to engage like this again. It helps a lot more when you've got others there to cover your back and the backs of those you're trying to protect while you fight something like Holocaust." Scott says. "And how, exactly, is he not dead? I remember hearing that he was." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Paris just ...doesn't comment. He can't even drag a monster away from a bunch of stupid humans without getting lectured, hearing his master lectured? But he nods a little. So Be It, then, he'll wait next time. For as long as Magneto wants him to put up with these people.

"The portal he used to escape once I had him bleeding... it wasn't his own. Whoever did that, possibly, reanimated him?"
