"You got all the blood off?"
"As much as I could, but once it dries, it's a bitch." I waved it off and sat in between Peter and Kurt. "Scott and I blocked the entrance to the hanger. Sabertooth's not getting in."
"You alright?" Hank asked and I shrugged. "We'll be in Cairo before you know it. Just hang tight."
"Don't kill me." I said, holding Peter's hand tightly as we took off.
"Scared of flying?" Scott smirked and I glared.
"First time on an airplane and I almost died. Second time, Magneto almost killed all of us... Call it bad experiences."
"Were you scared in DC?" Jean asked Raven who shook her head.
"No... But I was scared on my first mission. I was on a plane just like this with my friends, about your age... We used to call ourselves the X-men." She smiled and turned to Scott. "Your brother was there, we used to call him Havok. He was a real handful, but brave when it came down to it... Him and Ravager were a force to be reckoned with whenever they fought together."
"Ravager?" Kurt raised an eyebrow.
"Me." I called out. "I was the youngest and the last one Charles and Erik recruited... I was also the most violent one so Alex had to leash me a couple of times. What I did today was just a taste of what happens when I'm off the leash."
"A taste!? Did you look at yourself in the mirror!?" Moira exclaimed and I shrugged.
"When my dad was shot when I was kid, I killed over forty people in less than five minutes... There's a reason I'm called Weapon X2."
"Who was the first?"
"My dad. We were one of the first in the Weapon X program."
"There's no records of any program on-"
"That's because you people don't see us as humans so it's easy to sweep under the rug, Moira." I narrowed my eyes and felt my claws begin to poke out. "What happened to me was inhumane... but then again, mutants aren't people. We're a disease until you need someone to fight your wars."
"Easy, Ravager." Raven warned and I leaned back.
"Lyla, not everyone sees mutants that way." Moira frowned and I rolled my eyes.
"Tell that to the people who took my dad from me and turned me into this."

"Someone get me off this plane before Erik tries to kill me again! An airplane crash is not how I wanna go out!"
"Lyla, we're not gonna crash."
"Tell that to the time I almost died in Cuba!" I exclaimed and Raven rolled her eyes.
"You get Nightcrawler into the pyramid. I'll handle Erik." She ordered and turned to me. "Anything you wanna say to him?"
