Kurt frowned and started scrubbing even harder at the grease spot, hoping that it would decide to come out soon. But this wasn't anything like washing and waxing and detailing the X-Jet. First, if he scratched the wall, Logan wouldn't absolutely murder him. He'd probably pat Kurt on the back for it, if he were still here.

His focus on the grease spot allowed Sakura to sneak up on him without Kurt really noticing. He was mad at the punishment and mad at the spot, which took most of his focus away. So he was a little surprised when he realized she was talking to him, despite it looking like she couldn't help.

But he really couldn't be mad at her. Even if he had been asleep, everyone had been rebelling against Landel, right? If he got punished for it, well... that was how it went.

"Hey, it's okay," Kurt said, smiling weakly. "You were just doing what you thought was right, yeah?"

He scooted a little closer to Sakura, miming as though he had to clean a part of the wall closer to her. "But do you know what's going on? What happened? I heard something going down so I just stayed in my room."

Even if he said that, the barely-there smile he gave was enough to leave a sour feeling in her stomach. Though whatever tactics they decided to use, she was going to direct her anger toward the people that'd put them here, not the other patients. Kakashi-sensei had done worse before with his stupid mind games. In fact-

Screw this! If Kakashi-sensei had taught them nothing else, it was that friendship and teamwork were a hell of a lot more important than making an example of someone or getting in trouble or whatever else they tried to pull.

"Doesn't mean it's right for the rest of you to pay for it," she returned, though with how closely the guards were eying everyone, it didn't look like she'd be able to get away with much. If she had her chakra, it would be a different story, but...

"Let me help?" she tried, lowering her voice a few levels.

"Help?" Kurt repeated, eyebrows raising a little, brush stilling. He wasn't surprised that Sakura was offering to help, she seemed like the helping-type, but he was a little worried. The teen bit his lower lip, eyes flicking nervously to the guards watching their every move. That woman had said not to help, but...

"I don't know, Sakura," Kurt started, moving the brush over the wall as he talked, but really not paying attention to what he was doing. "These guys, I mean, I've seen guys like this. They won't let us mess with them without a fight. And we don't know what they're capable of yet." Kurt wouldn't say that he didn't think there was anything they could do about the situation, but he was certainly thinking it. He'd 'fight the power' in his high school, but the military? Without the other X-Men, it really wouldn't be a very long fight, he thought.
