"Ah knew this was too good ta be true." The instant she started seeing things go wrong she was bracing for it, but seeing Remy fall was what made her charged forward. It was still hard to get out of the brick mode after that many years, when she'd taken missiles and worse head on what could a little power field really do?
As it turned out, it could do quite a lot actually.
A guttural scream tore from her, as a pain she'd never felt before pulled from inside her. Her mind briefly flashing back to that time Bobby had made her watch Alien in the mansion and the baby alien thing popped out of the man chest. She was never watching that again, distracting herself helped with the pain until it passed and she could breath again and her hand rubbing over the center of her chest proved her ribcage was still intact. Seemed like nothing really happened after all but a passing pain.
"Nothin' is a terrible name missy, best you use the one I came with, Hiram." A colorful bird flew around and landed on her shoulder, nibbling on her ear to make his point known.
"Yer, Hiram? A bird?"
"A bird and your soul, sort of a two for one deal."
"Well this is off to a great start." Rogue muttered, forcing herself up to her feet.
"Aint it though? Hey look over there! Some fool got hisself a beagle! Bet it plays fetch, lets go see!" And Hiram was off to flit around and spy on the others faster than she could catch him.
