It was a fine mess she was in. Typically Billy's offhanded comments would be met with a look that quite possibly may have been capable of stopping just about anything in its tracks, but it wasn't meant to be today. Instead every word he spoke caused her to wince, cringe slightly as if he were accentuating each syllable with an acupuncture needle.

"It's important." Speech was awful, it left Mina wondering if she'd actually spoken or if Billy's cell phone would be pinging her reply in short order.

It wasn't a lie. Their father had specifically told her to keep an eye on any news coverage that was going to crop up regarding the little incident. Blogs, web pages, youtube, these she had already scoured - now it was time to see what the local coverage thought. Considering Los Angeles' recent attitude towards Mutant Kind, it would be very interesting to see the spin they put on it.

If she could even begin to process it. It would be at least another hour until she was more conscious of the physical. A small sigh left her and she eyed the cable box, setting it to record the program before switching the channel back to whatever drivel Billy was inflicting upon their house guest. Mina just didn't have the strength within her to fight over it, not now. She needed to be more aware by the time their father arrived and antagonizing her brother wasn't going to help that happen any further.

"The others will be arriving soon." Her eyes closed and she swayed on her feet just slightly. Great...now her equilibrium was off as well.
