Description
Razer, had no need to interference tonight. He'd simply wanted to get his money and get about his business. But this Jobberific Costume had to go stick her nose in his dealings. She'd proven to be not as much of a threat as he'd initially thought. Although he didn't possess Quicksilver level of super speed, he was fast enough, and more than enough for her. She'd been able to read his mind, but the effort it took to read the mind of somebody who could think as fast as he could left her drained. It also left her quite vulnerable to his attacks. He'd taken her down quickly, she was out the instant her head hit the ground. He could just barely stifle a laugh, at her expense. He'd tie her up and leave her somewhere. He'd better things to do tonight.

At that same time Psylocke is engaged with Rogue and Colossus in a training bout.

But as she avoids Rogue thanks to a Psychic Illusion, Colossus appears and is intent on grabbing her. But she is able to avoid him, and places her cloak over his head and attempts to escape.

She admits that, although the suit is what she needs to be an X-man. It wasn't the outfit or the role she expected to be in, one of support, rather than combatant.
