Golem looked towards X-T as he heard her yelling as he pulled the rotor blade free of his torso. He caught enough of what she had screamed to understand Iris need help which he found surprising but turned about in a hurry for him which was not all that fast as being made up of several tonnes of dirt and stone did not help him move any fast but quite the opposite in fact.
Golem got about to see the situation but there was not much for him to do. He could not catch her he had had no time at all to think of something else. If Golem did catch her the result would be no different then if she had fell and hit the ground. He was after all made up of the exact composition of what was under his feet. Nothing he could do.
Just then a strange and another large man jumped up and caught her in mid air. Where this stranger came from Golem did not see or could tell but the new comer saved Iris life and that was for certain as was the the fact he was a mutant. As he had just jumped higher then most people wished they could after watching Spider-man or a matrix movie. He differently would make those character jealous anyways.
The young man landed on his feet and the force of his decent cause d the ground to ripple and crater under his to feet. Pushing the earth outward and away from him so that he was left standing in a crater holding and unconscious Iris and gently stirring her to wake her up.

X-T swung over and landed on the other side, quickly running to where they were. X-T pulled the rifle off her back and aimed a clear shot at the man's head.
"Who th' hell are ya!" X-T said through her teeth as she glared down at him.

Iris' head pounded but her eyes fluttered open as a healing spell she had placed on her necklace took affect and healed her. Someone was shaking her and for a moment she thought maybe it was X-T and tried to send the girl a telepathic message that she was alright.
But then Iris' eyes flew open in realization that she was being held by a pair of strong arms and the mind signature wasn't X-T, "Who are you?" she asked looking up at the guy who caught her ith large, curious, blue eyes.

Khalon smiled as she opened her eyes. He was a little surprised she woke up at all. The explosion would have killed most people without even worrying about impact. Khalon's own plain brown eyes showed some of his relief as he looked her over to see if she really was okay.
Khalon was stopped short before he got the chance to finish as X-T being overly protective of her team members when Khalon had just saved one.
"Me?" He said as his brain was stalling for some reason beyond his control. Of course him she was wondering where he came from why he was here. Khalon was not even sure where he was last thing he remembered was walking down an alley. Must have been the wrong one. Next thing he was braking free and just in time to save the girl.
Khalon could give the girl his first name at least it seemed he had forgotten more then he at first realized. "Oh, sorry. I am called Khalon" He said looking at the two then took a step back as Golem lumbered up behind X-T and stared him down. The thing was massive. He looked down at the girl who seemed so tiny in his arms.

X-T raised an eyebrow at him, keeping the rifle between the two.
"What ya doin' here?" X-T said keeping a dead stare at him, "An' what ya want with Iris?"

"X-T it's alright," Iris said and gently let herself out of the guy's arm and gave the girl a comforting smile and showe her the blue crystal on her necklace, "I put a healing charm in it earlier, good thing I had or I would have had a nasty headache, or worst," she said the last with a small quiet voice but quickly smiled again. Iris thn turned back to Khalon and gave him a shy smile looking himstraight in the eyes, "Thank you, Khalon, for saving me."

X-T raised an eyebrow, then turned, walking to the tombs entrence.
"Jus' 'cause you trus' 'im now, don' mean I gotta," X-T said, strapping the gun to her back and twirling her gun around.

Iris rolled her eyes, "Trust, I would hardly say I trust him, grateful, but trust no," Iris said feeling the back of her head and satisfied that her head was healed enough took off after X-T.

X-T looked over her shoulder and smirked.
"Well tha' shy smile was enough ta tell me," X-T said quietly as she swung across the opening and closing death trap.

Iris gave out a huffy sigh and looked slightly frumpled as she waved her hand around and her staff appeared in her hand, and the crystal ontop glowed letting enough light shine around the temple, "So accourding to what Xavier has told us, the embelm we're looking for should be in the middle of this temple. That is of course after booby traps, lakes, etc etc."

"Way ta change th' subject," X-T said scratching the back of her head, "But I feel body heat not to far away, an' it ain't min' er yers, if ya get what I'm sayin'," X-T looked over her shoulder. She estimated it would take them through a couple of hallway like structures, then they'd reach their destination.
"Hope this thin' is worth it, er I'm gonna sell this- whatever it is- on th' black market," X-T said with a laugh.

Khalon smiled back to the girl in return for hers. He was at a loss of what to do though when the two girls turned about and left. Khalon could hear them talk and knew it would be best if he took off but he knew not where he was or any which direction would lead him to civilization once more.
Once he decided he started to follow the others. He had no other choice if he was to learn the way out. He ran up to the girl he had saved. Better her then the other or the large dirt monster.
"So, you never said your name. Also if you could point me in the direction of a town, city or road. Any actually would help." Khalon asked trying to make sense of the craziness that had befell him.

Iris blushed deeply and looked at the ground, she was always so embaressed when men she didn't know would speak to her directly. She then shook her head at his question, "The next town is at least twenty miles away, and who knows what's inbetween here and there," she said looking ahead and using her mind to scry for any incoming people, "If you want you can tag along with us, and we can drop you off wherever when we're finished here," she said carefully stepping over a large rock, "I'm Iris by the way," she added.

Khalon frowned when he heard the next town was 20 miles away and a little more when the girl did not tell him which direction. Khalon knew he could make twenty miles but it was probably better for him to stay with the group. At least then he could learn what had happen to him.
"Okay." Khalon agreed wondering he would regret it or not as there was many explosions and bullets flying about only mere moment before hand. Khalon smiled as Iris introduced herself. "Iris" he added on to his okay.
Golem eyed the newcomer agreeing with X-T and as always siding with caution. Golem grunted when Iris said he could come along. The grunt shook the ground quite a bit but it was he sheer size that did it. The walked slowly along following everyone to keep his eyes on everyone then realized Iris was smart to bring him along. Something about friends you keep close but enemies even closer came to Golem's mind.

Iris shook her head again, "Hey X-t we need to start bringing along waivers for all the new people we pick up, stating that X-Men don't hold responsablility for anyone we pick up on missions," she joked bfor her smile was replaced with a frown, "X-T watch yourself those body heat signatures that you noticed earlier are about ten guys, five mutants, five with guns, nasty guns, and they're around the next two corners," she said holding a hand to her temple.

X-T gave a smirk to her with a small laugh.
"That ain't th' least o' my worries, darlin'," X-T said, then stared at the newcomer, "Hey Khalon kid, ya wanna toy?" X-T pointed to the rifle on her back, then untrapped it, changing the ammo with the replacements on her belt.

Iris glanced at Khalon, "This is why we bring X-T along," she told him and the light coming from her staff went out, "Your turn X-T," she said and waited for the clear.

"With pleasure, darlin'," X-T said, extending her claws as she set the gun at Khalon's feet. She ran forward, running down the hallway and slightly looking around the corner. In there was a giant room with a bridge leading to a platform in the middle of the room. There were men everywhere.
"Hope ya in fer a masaker," X-T said with a smile, "'Cause th' funs jus' 'bout ta start,"

Khalon did not like being called a kid but bit down on his pride. It probably was a bad idea to say anything as they were the only ones around to would tell him where he is and maybe why. So Khalon merely scowled wondering if they fought how would it go. Being as she seemed very deadly.
"I do not need toys." Khalon said as he tighten and flex the muscles in his arm to an impressive size. Then turning his attention to Iris as she explained that X-T had a nack for getting fire arms. Khalon nodded but thought reliance on a gun was a weakness but X-T did not need to so he did not think less of her.
Khalon watched as the gun was placed near his feet and gave off a single laugh. She felt he needed it or was she just giving him a chance to change his mind on the matter. Khalon step right by it knowing he was far more dangerous then any gun.

"Hey don't hurt ta ask, eh?" X-T said as she stuck her head out. She squented, seeing something very odd in the middle of the platform. It seemed to be a podium of some sort, holding an odd relick that was in the shape of a half moon. X-T raised an eyebrow.
"Is that what they're guardin'?" X-T whispered with a laugh, then turning to Iris, "Can ya point out th' mutants so we know which ones ta take down first?"
