Snow was actually silent, watching Wolfe.

Wolfe was still gasping for air.

"You call yourself our leader and yet, look how pathetic you are," Pepper spat, "Why I let you rope me into this halfwit group in the first place is beyond me."

Wolfe didn't reply.

"You say you're looking for our lab but you play around with these others, helping with their problems. What the terra was tonight about? You've lost sight of our goal, playing around with your boytoy there. You don't deserve our respect anymore, Ryuji!" she snared.

Something was changing in Wolfe's eyes. If Nic was watching he would probably recognize it. An exhausted body reverting into training mode. The years of training taking over the mind and body. And from the coldness of it, they had been dark years. Snow's eyes were growing cold as well but she didn't move.
