Laura isn't one to be accustomed to working with others. Or, to a point, even congregating with others. The slight social advancements she's made in the short time this 'class' has been together is more than she has shown in the past few years, period. She doesn't yet know how to work within a cohesive unit. Or even in a classroom with others. Her upbringing (if that's what you call it), was little more than her being let out of the cage occasionally to kill. Not exactly the best way to build social skills. So when that immense threat presents itself in the mall the group has found itself in, she gives no thought to what the others might do. She, in her mind, designates herself to be the one to engage this particular hostile. It never occurs to her that the others would jump in also. She expects them to keep their distance, maybe even get away. But that's not what happens…
She decides she has to end this quickly. The man in brown armor is large, but he's still a man, right? So he's vulnerable just like all men (and women) are. Surgeon like slashes to vital areas (and arteries), and the threat is neutralized. And then dead. As the rest of the group starts to realize they need to do something, Laura is already going into a swift sprint towards Juggernaut. Who is busy looking over the pets in the petstore window. Her group now, almost as one, begin to formulate in their minds what they would do as individuals to stop this menace. But Laura is there suddenly, and with a loud "GRAH!" she slashes at one of Juggernaut's knees. And… she is genuinely taken aback, her eyes widening as… she doesn't cut through his armor? Well that's never happened before. She's never encountered anything that her claws couldn't slice through. She slices again and again, and stabs at his leg. But nothing, she can't get through that armor. For a moment she panics in her head… she doesn't know what to do.
"Hm?" juggernaut murmurs, feeling something at his leg. He half turns to look towards the very tiny Laura, and he grins a little under his helmet. "Aw… lookit that. You Wolverine's bebe or something, kid?" She turns towards Laura as she glares up at him, and she then leaps up to swipe at his midsection. With no effect. As she is coming down from that leap, his very large hand whips out and he grabs her arms. He holds her up in front of him, the whole of his hand holding her arms, and she just dangles there. She lets out an angry snarl as she kicks her legs, as if trying to find ground. He draws her up so he's closer to eye level with her, speaking in a patronizing tone. "Metal claws and a piss poor attitude. Yep, you must be Wolverine's kid. He ever tell ya how I splattered him, sweetpea?" She glares defiantly towards him as she hangs helpless, and that's when Juggernaut cringes. His free hand comes up towards the side of his helmet, his ears being assaulted by Jay's… assaulted. "The hell… the one day we come for this thing and there's a mutie field trip?" He speaks louder than usual, feeling a little disoriented from the soundwave barrage. He looks in the direction of Piotr as he transforms… and he just sighs. "You kids're waaaaay out of yer league. Jus' leave me be an ya won't get hurt." But the moment he says that… he realizes there is a pyrokinetic like attack coming at him. He growls as he pulls Laura closer to him (still holding her in his hand), and his other hand comes up to deflect away the fire. Well block it. It almost looks like he's shielding Laura from the bursts of flame, those flames seeming to do nothing against his armor. But that attack is followed up by an immensely powerful electrical attack. He grits his teeth as the electricity cascades along his body, but he doesn't move. He continues to hold his free hand up, as it to keep the attacks at bay. Laura can feel the tips of her hair standing on end from the electrical discharge, as she still struggles. "Frickin muties! This's sposed ta be an easy job! Don't ya know who I am?! Don't ya know WHAT I am?! I'm Juggernaut, and I'm unstoppable! Wolverine and his crew can't do a damn thing to me, so ya'll got no chance! So back off!" As he watches Piotr getting closer. "We are not Wolverine and his crew, Juggs." Laura says suddenly, her form being held almost protectively close to Juggernaut's helmet. As if he were shielding her from the powerful flame, sound and electrical attacks.
With a frown he looks towards Laura, and seems like he's going to say something to her. But she draws her knees up, and she kicks her foot towards his face. She has figured out his armor can't be bested, the fact they stop her claws and all their attacks attest to that. But she can smell flesh being singed. His flesh. Flesh. Juggernaut's eyes widen as she kicks towards him… and with a SLAKT sound a blade extends suddenly from between her big toe and second toe, ruining her sweet sneakers. Juggernaut lets out a howl of pain as he is suddenly and unexpectedly stabbed right in the eyeball by Laura's foot blade. In anger he slams her down against the concrete, crushing much of her body with the impact. Lifting her back up, she dangles (seemingly) lifeless in his hand now, debris of the shattered concrete floor falling from her form. He backhanded tosses her away, and she lands in a heap about 15 feet away. Both of her forearms are crushed, and one of her legs is pointing in the wrong direction. She just lays there near a fountain, blood tricking from her eyes, ears, nose and mouth. And various little cuts along her body where her bones broke through her flesh (mostly at her arms and right leg).
Juggernaut's hand comes up to cover his eye, but he grins as he now turns to face Piotr (and as a result the rest of the mutants). "You can't hurt me, guys. Already my eye's healed, I can see again already." His hand comes down, and both hands form into fists as he glares towards them all. "Sorry I killed your friend, really really didn't want to. I mean that." His tone is surprisingly sincere. "Ya'll need ta learn bein the hero ain't what it's cracked up ta be. So go away, b'fore any more of ya are hurt." His ears are still ringing, but whatever damage Jay could have done with his attack would have been healed already. But the sensation of noise is still there.
