*Lauren didn't crumble to nothing when Sonya was shot. It wasn't like she was crying, but something definitely changed. The game changed, the stakes changed. She knew how bad it could be but it never felt so... on her. That 'on her' meant she had to tell one of the scariest people she knew a hard truth.*
...He shot her in the heart.
*Not that Polaris was the bad kind of scary, they were on the same side, and Lauren knew that this woman could teach her so many things about being a mutant. That side Lauren buried for three long lonely years pretending she wasn't what she was. But if the Sentinel Services guys knew a thing, they'd know that Thunderbird was not the one that they should be afraid of, not by a long shot.*
And he got what he wanted, Andy and I did what he asked.
*Sonya died and it didn't even stop anything. Lauren is so lost in whatever part she played she's not really aware of how much Polaris is a threat to all the metal in the room.*
