Wanda brought Ray a few feet away from her and listened to what he had to say, Something rarely done. "What makes you think I care?" She said and threw him throught the smashed window of the gap.
She walked inside and stared at him. "Give me one good reason I should listen to you." She said and crossed her arms.

Ray groaned, hoisting himself up but leaning against a felled manicon beside him. He looked down, then looked back up at her. She had such a flat gaze, but her eyes were so heated up, it nearly scared him. But Ray had seen it all before. Not from him, not in the mirror, but from kids in homes, kids like Wanda. he didn't know how to handle them then, and he didn't now. All he knew was that Wanda focusing on him meant less people getting hurt, and less bad press.
"I don't," he said finally, shaking his head; "I don't Wanda. I just think you could do something more productive with your anger."

"Productive." Wanda said flatly and glanced around the store. "What the h**l are you talking about." She said and threw a clothing rack across the store. This store wasn't messed up enough.
"This is productive." She said and threw another rack, but this time out of the gap and into the sporting goods store. "I'm destorying the mall." She said and looked back at him. "How is this not productive?"

Ray glared at her; "Stupid!" he said, getting up; "This doesn't do a dam nthing 'cept f**k stuff up!" Now he'd lost it; "Go after your dad, that'd be 'productive'! And everybody would thank you for it!" he said, motioning to the whole mall in general; "Or are you afraid of that kind of attention?"
Then, he settled back down, catching himself before he could fall flat on his butt. Now he sighed. he couldn't last much longer. He needed a nap and about ten hot pockets.

Wanda whipped her hands out in front of her and a blue light covered Ray. She slammed him up against the wall and held him there.
"Excuse me." She said in a hate filled tone and walked up to him. She stared him in the eyes and kept him pinned to the wall. "If you have something to say, Go tell someone who cares." She said in a low tone and with her powers pressed him against the wall slightly.

"Well... obviously you do!" Ray ground out through gritted teeth, surpressing a moan. He was going to die, he knew it.
"So I guess I've told the right person!" he tried to pull away from the wall, but it was no use. Wanda was strong, and Ray was just short of dying. He didn't know what kept him going.

"Oh I can't do this," she mummbled as she walked closer to her friende and Wanda. "Ray catch," she threw him a HYDRA device the same kind she used on the others it would short out wanda's sestyem or else they we're doomed she was scared not of Wanda but of her power.

"What makes you think I care what your saying?" She said in the same low tone and watched him. She saw X23 come in out of the corner of her eye and saw her throw something.
The HYDRA device was covered in blue light and it stopped in mid air. It floated over to Wanda and she held it in her hand. "What the h**l is this?" She asked X23 and looked over at her, While still holding Ray to wall.

"X, back off for a sec!" Ray ground out, then managed to kick out and get Wanda's attention; "why else do you have me pinned up against a wall and you're slowly crushing my chest? You didn't like what I said because it hit a nerve. Yeah you care, otherwise, you'd be at home veggin' out in front of the TV."
He was tired, but he wasn't about to look away from her. He stared at her with a flat, uncensored stare, eyes narrowed and all his emotions evident. His eyes were back to "normal", he knew, but some newve in the back of his head started to twitch and he knew that was about to change.

"OH S**T WE'RE DEAD," she said then hated what she knew she had to do if things didn't get better she'd have to take her out or else she could go get help. "Um Ray is there anyone who could help us?" she called backing away.

"I'm crushing you." Wanda said and pushed on his a tiny bit harder. "Because i'm in a bad mood." She said and stared hard at him. "And your helpless." She said and looked over at X23.
"Now, What the h**l is this?" She said and held up the hydra device. She eased up a little on Ray and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye before looking back at X23.

Paige popped her head into the screaming mall, what was going on? She yelped when she saw Ray up against a wall, and a girl a few feet away from him. "Ray?" She asked timidly and walked toward the two of them, noticing X23.

"You think that," Ray ground out, coughing; "But you'd be wrong."
He felt something in his chest practically cry out: one of his ribs was close to breaking. He knew a couple were bruised, he could walk away from that. But a broken rib? That would be dangerous. His chest was wear the energy built up: if something broke there, only God knew what would happen.
Then he heard his name, and fear struck him like a bus; "PAIGE!" he shouted; "Get outta here!" He scrambled then, becoming frantic, trying to get away from Wanda's hold though he wasn't doing a good job of it.
Paige didn't need to see him now.

"Interesting." Wanda said and glanced over at Paige. "I will." She said bluntly and stared at Ray. "Wanna get down." She said as more of a statement then a question and threw him across the store and into the wall opposite them. "Who're you?" She said and glanced over at Paige again.

Ray hit whatever he'd been thrown against, sliding to the ground. He tried to get up, but only succeeded in getting on his knees. He looked at Wanda then, weary, weak, and ashamed that Paige and X saw him failing.
"What does this prove?" he asked breathlessly, critically looking at her.
Out ofthe corner of his eye he saw X23 grab Paige and prayed they'd just leave.
