Peak gulped as he stared up at the mutant before him. Of all the times to run into one, it would be the time that his partner, Ilona, would be unconscious [he hoped it wasn't a bad injury - she was the medic]. He couldn't retreat - not without leaving his partner exposed [and especially since he didn't know where Fryte was either]. He raised the wrist blaster [knowing it wouldn't work - it had been broken during the fight, the fall] and aimed it at the mutant.
Attor merely sighed, scooping up the injured girl, making sure not to jostle her. "Well, come on," he sighed. "It'll be dark soon and you don't want to really be out then."
Peak wanted to protest, but the mutant had a damn good point. He sighed quietly and lowered his weapon. "Lead the way."
Attor nodded and walked, trying to keep a pace that the human wouldn't find difficult. He made note that human females were infinitely more fragile then their male counterparts. "How?"
"Fryte targeted her since she's a healer," Peak said, bitterness escaping in his voice. "I thought you mutants wouldn't target non-combantants."
Attor was quiet. "Fryte will be punished, I promise you."
