[Kevin's starting to look panicked as well, his eyes growing frantic. He steps back, boots sinking deep into the snow, and wonders if it's time to break all pretenses of siding with the Brotherhood completely. Desperate, he looks to John for guidance, but realizes he has to get out of this situation himself. After all, he did say earlier in the cabin that he'd try to keep John safe. So he makes a call.]

Polaris. I followed orders to take him out. That's done. But he's still alive. Let's stop. He could be the most valuable prisoner we'd ever get.

MYSTIQUE/MAGNETO - Kayt

[Logan's screams stop as Polaris halts and Mystique eyes her cautiously as the younger woman turns to glance over her shoulder. The glob of adamantium, perhaps the size of a large marble, floats in the air, spinning faster and faster as Lorna's eyes flick from Kevin to John to Mystique in the guise of her father. There is the barest of nods from the elderly gentleman Mystique is wearing, and Lorna straightens, the adamantium orb, floating over to hover above Magneto's outstretched hand.]

A good enough point you make, Wither. We'll bide our time, wait until he's coherent. He's worth more to us alive. [Magneto's eyes meet Lorna's and there is an unspoken promise between them.] For now.

[Kevin's still a bit freaked -- he lets nothing show on his face, drops his gloved hand to his side and breathes evenly. He's bought Logan some time, and figured out something important: John doesn't want Logan dead, either. Something's going on, and it's bigger than he suspected. What if the X-Men were here to take out the Brotherhood? Maybe they've decided to kill the Brotherhood - himself included if necessary - and write him off as a casualty. Maybe John was sent as a mole? Whatever it is that's lying underneath, Kevin can't figure that much out.]

[John's more or less in the same boat - freaked but hiding it well. He's relaxed after his initial panic and rush of guilt; now he simply raises a curious and slightly impressed brow at Kevin. It was a good save - better than he was in any state to suggest so quickly.

Now more than ever, despite Kevin's stoic expression, he knows the kid is brimming with questions - that was panic on his features; John tucks that information away with a bit of assurance. But he also knows there's only so many unanswered questions Kevin can think of before he starts answering them himself - and who knows how off base they could be?]

LONGSHOT - Kayt

[Polaris and Magneto may be busy having a family moment, or whatever, but that's exactly why Longshot's been following Pyro at a distance since he showed up again. Watching. Waiting.

He catches that look whatever it is, that passes between John and Kevin and his face twists, just a little, suddenly awash with smugness. Was this what he's been looking for? A hint of falseness creeps across the story Pyro's laid out for all of them, but only a hint.

If I get lucky, he thinks, smiling to himself, and I almost guarantee I will, I'll find out what the hell those two are up to.

This isn't entirely true, since Longshot's skills for altering probability don't work when he changes the odds for himself, but he can ensure Pyro and Wither's continued bad luck without any problem at all.]
