[Laura is out for her own little walk — just a quick way to clear her head, really, but it's not unusual to run into trouble on her late-night strolls. Riverview is a decent place to be a mutant child, but it's still a normal civilization with plenty of problems after-hours. Like people beating up other people for no reason other than money. Or even just to do it. But she sees there's something more to this the moment she sneaks up —
That's Poe, and they're trying to kidnap him. And she's well-aware there have been issues recently about kidnappings, about children suddenly vanishing. It makes her blood boil, and she climbs up the nearest tree as they try to wrangle him, carefully crawling to stand above them on a branch.
When she leaps down, she lops a man's arm off in the process, and he screams and collapses and writhes from the perfect wound. Laura doesn't lunge yet for the others, because they're in a perfect position to hurt Poe further, but she's hoping it was enough of a surprise for Poe to push them off.]
