Andy shook his head, "Clash of the titans there. I wouldn't want to be around if they crossed each other. Might knock the planet off it's access or something. They both could technically cause a doomsday scenario. Why they're classified by bastions group as Omega level Mutants. Have powers that could change the planet quite literally. We were getting close when I left to what Magneto called the final solution, If we where really loosing, He had sent Mutants out to look for another habitable planet, they where going to launch into space then and as a parting shot Archer there would in space where his powers have no limits knock the earth out of orbit sending it right into the sun. I never liked the idea, But we were running out of options. "

Frowning as she listened to what Andy was saying. "No. That idea doesn't sound good at all." Sighing heavily, her head shaking. "I can't say that he's always had GOOD ideas. But I can at least say that he had good intentions most of the time." She looked at them both apologetically as if she were trying to convince even herself of her father's ideals.

He looked at andy, sighing, then at Lorna. " Sad part is I could do it. My powers are almost completly unchecked in a vaccum. the researchers found that one out the hard way during my first escape." He frowned, His brow furrowed, He hadn't ever imagined this mess going that far. Destroying a planet was a large and bitter pill to swallow. But then again the situation sounded dire Maybe he really didn't hate people as much as he had thought. Warren he could see condoning the Idea but not any one else. There were Innocent people out there, How manywas a matter of debate, but still killing an innocent was petty and killing a potential mutant, was a crime. He couldn't allow the situation to come to that. Even if that meant protecting some of the ones guilty of his own torture.

Just shaking her head as she heaved out another sigh. She just wanted to rest at the moment. Just wanted the world to go away, even if for just a tiny millisecond so that she could think, catch her breath. She couldn't think right now, there was part of the problem. Her head was swimming and she was having a heck of a time taking those much needed deep gulps of air. She made a slightly funny sounding noise... well at least she thought it sounded funny, and slumped over onto her side and just lay there.

He dashed over to her side, checking her breathing, "Lorna?" He called out. shaking his head, waiting for a sign of life, an answer.

At least there was a pulse as he checked, but he could tell that she'd passed out from the laboured breathing and complete exhaustion.

He hovered near, his face concerned, Lorna's collapse triggering concern, it twinged in every fiber of his being. She was so nice. He began to remember what warren had said about his friend as he looked down at her, and his reply. Just because they walk a different path didn't make either Warren's friend or Lorna any different, they all wanted the same thing after all. "Is she hurt?" he floated there, looking down at lorna waiting for some sign. seeing her there like a rag doll made him feel bitter things, things he hadn't felt because of something happening to another person. Mentally he rolled the feelings around analyzing them, as he watched worried.

Time skip.-- She comes too with an IV in her arm, a bag of clear fluid hangs above her. "You had us worried there for a bit" Andy said warmly, Looks like you've been out way too long. What kept you out?

Lorna was a bit groggy when she opened her eyes again, but she was beginning to feel a bit better, now that she was rested and apparently being refueled. "I've been running from those Sentinels for 3 days at least. I don't know how they found me so easily or quickly, but i can guess at how they knew that I was a mutant." She chuckled as she grabbed a few strands of her green hair. "I managed to put a couple of them out of commission for a bit, but it seems where one or two go down, 6 more replace them. So, being way outnumbered there, all I could do was run as if the devil himself were after me and hope like hell my strength didn't give out. I barely had time to rest, eat or anything else."
She looked over at Archer and saw the concern on his face and gave him a slight smile. "I'll be alright. Just too much and too fast you know?"

He chuckles, "I know exactly what you mean, My great escap almost wasn't. Over did it before the drugs they had me on where all the way out of my system. I shut down in the middle of a fight, luckily there where other mutants there who helped me. THey said they where also from the brother hood. A woman in red calling her self the scarlet witch and a youth. an asian woman also. they where in trouble. Humans attacked them. " he sighed his voice betraying his releif as he spoke. She had saved him, The sentinals would have finished him off for sure had she not appeared when he did. How had he not seen her weakness. Prehaps he could have done something.

"Oh this just keeps getting better and better doesn't it?" She exhaled with a sigh. Then she looked over at Andy. "Should I tell him or not?"

"He is going to find out sooner or later you know. Better if you tell him or she does?" He sighed. Talking about his mother's past was always interesting. Sure she'd met his Father but she was still far from the Mutant rights activist freedom fighter he remembered from all he had heard. He really was worried about how he would be received by her, She still was working with her father and apparently still had a feud going with his aunt. Definitely not the way he remembered his child hood, Growing up in the paradise of Las Vegas as his parents campaigned for the rights of mutants. They where both so perfect to him. and now he was living his mothers tails of her misguided youth. She had not a week ago been filching clothes ar Nieman Marcus, his out either in the woods or a run down shack, and had almost fought his father once already. Hell his father didn't even seem to be thinking about her yet. Definitely not a love at first sight tale there.

Lorna looked over to where Archer was still hovering and sighed. "The Scarlet Witch is my half-sister. We don't always get along, but what else is new when your family dynamic is pretty messed up as it is?" "And Magneto.... He's my father." She said this last revelation with a huge sigh and just sat up slowly.

He noded, His eyes understanding her internal distress. Having a family divided had to be hard no matter what the reason. "I'm sorry. I would have hoped where matters of family came in that you could all set aside your differences and still care for each other. I had hoped we were better than humans on that level. I guess even with us Ideals and beliefs get in the way of what should be important." He sighed, His eyes falling a bit. He couldn't help but wonder what he would do in her situation. Being seperated from family was always difficult, But more so when it was because of some abstract belief. His mind drifted to the civil war, Likening her family to being on opposite sides of the conflict. Brother against brother was an apt description for her delimma. He wondered what her sister would say if asked about her half sibling. Would her words be unkind, or regret filled.

"Unfortunately, that's the way my family is. And has been for some time now." She sighed. "I just hope that for once they will listen to this plea that will be brought before them and offer their assistance in this matter. Otherwise, we'll be going it alone, and I honestly don't think we'd survive."
