[He listens. His eyes flick to the mirror when it cracks, run over the peeling paint. He lets her get it all out, but he stopped processing after kidnapped, beaten, begged. She isn't the one making things shake in her room; the hinges of her doors are trembling, the knob turning one way, then the other. Anything metal, anything with a magnetic pull in a close radius to him is positively shaking.]
Who attacked you?
[And despite all that rocking metal, his voice is calm, frighteningly so. He's processing the rest - Charles asked for his powers back, that's news, but that isn't important right now. Someone attacked her, and she'd been helpless because of the same limitations on him. The hinges behind him are creaking, trying to twist out of their positions, but his so. fucking. limited here.
He isn't looking at the things her powers are doing any more - chaos magic, he's seen her refer to it that way, and he doesn't understand it, not completely, but he doesn't need to to know she's dangerous. That isn't important, though, not now, not to him. He is angry, he is so angry, because here is another mutant who had her abilities ripped from her, who was attacked, tormented (he can see the gun, eins, zwei, drei, and he couldn't do anything), and he can't do anything to help her, now.]
