Snippet #2425214

"I hate to do this to you, but you're a threat to me and my family." Romeo says as he rummages through the supply closet. He had heard her wake up and begin to move about, and while he was keeping alert he wasn't actually watching her. Nothing had been able to kill him so far after all. Plus if he had been killed by her after taking her into the Compound then he sort of deserved it as far as his logic was concerned. "I'm guessing you don't like the cold huh? Anyway, I'll let you out of here once we get back from gathering some supplies. I don't want to hold you here, but if I let you loose and then leave this place and you get out and hurt someone it would be my fault and I would probably have to hunt you down and kill you." His voice was as cold as stone, he was dead serious about this, despite the softness in his eyes as he turns to look at her.

Before he can say anything else Franky enters the room, followed shortly by Christine. Franky looked like normal again, he'd probably drank some water and cooled off a little before heading down to this level. Christine, on the other hand, looked better but didn't really act like it. Her stomach seemed to be bothering her.

"Here, take one of these, it should help." Romeo says, reaching into a bag he'd taken out of the closet an tossing a pill bottle to her. The pills inside were designed to help get poison and venom out of the system. "It may make you a bit sick, and you'll start to sweat alot, but it should help. I won't stop you from going into town but I would suggest against it." Turning to face Franky he nods. "Sure, go for it. Hunter should have sent someone out there to see about him but it wouldn't hurt to check anyway. If you don't mind take Christine with you, if she'd still like to go of course, and pick up Jamison along the way if you see her. I'll get another vehicle from the garage and take whoever else is left that wants to go and meet you there."

Romeo was ignoring the fact that Franky seemed to be flirting with the woman who had nearly killed him earlier, had nearly killed alot of them. Had any single mutant been out there and gone against her she might have made her way into the Compound. The military had a habit of assigning a letter to mutants based on class. It went from A to E, with E-class mutants being the weakest and A-class being the strongest. Romeo and Nathan were ranked B, and although he hated thinking about such things, this new woman would have to be at the same level, or maybe even an A-class mutant.
