[There's still one Madrox left as John and Kevin head off. Bobby ducks a punch, dodges a kick; his luck is improving which means Longshot's distracted somewhere else. The dupe catches his fists as he goes to throw a couple of punches, so the Iceman lunges forward, his organic ice forehead smashing into Jamie's.
The unconscious body drops away, and Bobby glances over to where Kevin, John and Kitty are making their way towards the other clearing. He leaps up on a slide and speeds along to catch up, curving high up so as to keep a lookout for any other approaching enemies.
Something is strange about the way Kitty is moving - she seems intent on getting to the clearing, and doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the terrain. Bobby catches her stumbling slightly over an unconscious Madrox dupe. At first, Bobby dismisses it - the fight has been wearying, she must just be tired.
But then she stumbles again. And again. And Bobby remembers that whenever they ran sims in the Danger Room together, Kitty remained in a phased state when moving across the battlefield. She said it was her best method of defence. And Bobby's earlier concerns about missing Mystique suddenly crystallise.
That's not Kitty.
But he needs to be certain, needs to be sure...
Only one way to find out.
He picks up speed and curves around the trio, landing a little way in front of the girl who probably isn't Kitty.]
Hey Kitty! Heads up!
[And with deadly speed and accuracy, he throws a short, icy spear straight into her shoulder.]
