[There may be an ocelot, at least what appears to be an ocelot, crouched half hidden nearby waiting to see how hurt the woman is. She usually wouldn't care, but the woman is blue. And therefore as much a normal human as she herself is. Do you notice the big cat watching you with far too much intelligence in its eyes?]
[Gathering herself to her feet, she turns to look. The guards were shouting and starting to follow her, but it would take them some time to get down the stairs. Mystique is sore from the fall, but well enough to starts to move, but not before noticing she has an audience.
She can't help but stare at the large cat, distracted from her retreat.]
[She gritted her teeth, turning to face him, ready to defend herself if it came to that since it seemed she wouldn't be running away.] No, sorry. I haven't seen him since I shot him in the neck.
[She stares at him, nose wrinkled, trying to figure out what the hell was going on.] He's not dead. [Mystique hadn't wanted to kill him. Just pay him back.]
Oh good, then I still have a job. By the way, the X-Men are totally looking for you and they're goddamn everywhere. I think I just saw Logan a few minutes ago, he looks cranky.
If I were you, I'd go South and stick to the maintenance doors.
[She tensed, looking back as though she might see Wolverine right around the corner. Mystique cursed under her breath as she simultaneously changed shape into a portly security guard. It wouldn't fool Logan, but it would fool others for a time.] Thanks.
You're welcome. Don't tell anyone I'm warning you either, I don't fucking need Storm blowing up my condo, I'm fucking comfortable and that shit's expensive.
I could, but I need to go in the opposite direction, this place is swarming with X-Men, I don't want to give Logan another reason to cut my head off and I'm not married to you.
Not usually, but I'd like to give him less of a reason than usual. It's boring, I have to sit there and wait for a whole body yo grow back, ain't nobody got time for that.
