Winnie held on tight, wide eyed, not certain why her mate was in such a hurry, but it didn't stop the mouse from digging her clawed toes in and holding on very, very tightly. Her reaction to his shooting the windows out was a partial deafening and confusion as to why he was breaking yet more of her castle. Their castle now even! She was getting the castle structure tested for soundness!
Then he went out the window. Did he not realize how far up they were! They were going to die. Splat. Wing and Blade pancakes, and hey, that would certainly take care of TALON! She was going to die. She was going to die.
Please. Please please please please please!
Another loud bang and things got dark, which only served to terrify her more until SPLASH!
The were in the sewers. Oh dear goddess, it stank, and the poor battered feeling Queen merely hung on as he dashed through the sewers to the control room she hadn't even known existed. She really needed to further explore her castle. Before she could process what happened there was another shot, and a flash of metal and there were two bodies.
Four. Four counting the lights who would have died also. She hated battle.
The queen listened, not certain of anything but that now Blade was dealing with a bomb of some sort. Maybe it was a super powerful nuclear bomb or something that would have destroyed the castle even further? Blade took care of business, and she stuck her mousy little nose against his neck in a proud kiss, before they took off once more.
That's it. She was getting the whys of this business out of him once this was over with. This was all much too confusing her her own good. Plus two men had just been killed, and she may have been a little in shock from their deaths and the others she had witnessed this day. Maybe a little.

Hope barely heard Snow, so concentrated was she on getting out. But she did still hear it, and it merely broke the large feline's heart further. All she could do was pray that she hadn't fractured their relationship badly enough that Snow no longer wished to be her twin. With the serum apparently completed, it would even be an option. She could, she supposed, survive that. As long as Kendra was okay. Kendra, Henry, Rachel. They were all in so much danger now. Why did she have to drag them into this war!
She was calming down now, or perhaps too weak to keep going on, realizing the futility of her actions. Either way, she heard Snow's every single word. Oh really? Her eyes narrowed, but she controlled herself well, sitting down and swaying, ignoring the foul stench of burnt fur and flesh. She would heal, in time. Bow could help, no doubt. If not, then she'd scar, but she didn't care. Scars could be hidden.
How the communicator worked was a mystery, but it likely had to do with Kendra's astounding engineering skills. Her mate was a goddess among inventors as far as the shifter was concerned.
She screamed once more in outrage, just to make the point that she was not going to just give in, and then began to roughly lick one of her wounds in an attempt to sooth it while they moved forward. He couldn't touch Kendra. She was as safe as safe got, and there was always the safe room, and what's-his-face would keep her safe, and if not, she'd tear him limb by limb apart. With her teeth.
She didn't bother paying attention as they walked, though she stumbled more than walked. Right. Giant electrical cages were bad things to slam into, and it wasn't going to happen again. As they came to a halt, the shifter glanced at Talon impartially and sat down, licking her wounds once or twice before weekly transforming back to a human shape.
"You're kind of a bastard." She told him as she stumbled closer, pulling the needle out of her pocket and concealing it in her hand. She tripped once or twice on the way over, though she continued talking, mostly to focus. "You realize I won't consent to anything, right? Also, that was very melodramatic, with the doors shutting."
She tripped, falling against him, both hands in fist, concealing the fact that one held a needle that should sink into his flesh, had she tripped just right. She was good at tripping. Unless he dodged or moved somehow, it would do just that. The light, if the needle connected, would smile sweetly, stand on her toes, and whisper in his ears.
"Fuck you."
Take that. Lights can't handle it. Harmless were they? He had about ten seconds before that knocked him out and he stayed down. Hopefully he would fall over and land under her though, as the shifter wasn't certain she could move.
In this, his obsession would serve her well. the guards would have no doubt been ordered not to hurt her, and to wait to kill her twin until after the place was gassed.
Crap! The gas! It hit Hope hard, and should the stab and injection be successful, she would likely start to move to one of the guards to force them to release her twin. But then she would stop, and simply stand there. Very well. It wasn't as if Snow particularly cared anymore, or that there was much of a bond. Months could not restore what was missing for over 250 years. Besides, the twin bond must not be that big of a thing, not really. Darks didn't care.
Not that she knew, at least.
