She looked over at Kitty and Umayma. "You all right?" she asked her roommate, her eyes darkening with concern. She realized how silly a question it was -- Umayma had been fighting for her life long before Andy even knew she had powers, but she still worried.
Her eyes changed again, hooded and sharp with banked anger, controlled tightly.
"I can't believe.... I felt guilty over causing his death.... and here he is playing games with people's lives." There was a tight, hard edge to her voice that bespoke deep anger, and disgust.
"I am fine... Feeling a bit... exposed... at the moment..." Umayma said as she looked down at her X-Men training uniform. Definitely not her veil and Abaya that she was used to. She smiled at the boy. "Did you protect my friend here? thank you young sir..."
She looked at Andrea... the others apparently left on their own. "I think we're on our own again... I made an exit in the Geo Room... we'll head out there and you can get this young man to safety."
