Not really anything that needs to be spoilered. Rephrased closer to Strange\'s dialogue. Since Zelda was visibly in bad shape there was likely a double-meaning when he called her \"not so good.\"


** When they arrive at the house of [[spoiler: Comicbook/DoctorStrange]], Laura warns them not to touch anything, then turns to Bellona and tells specifically tells her not to ''shoot'' anything. Bellona ''sulks''

He determines that one is an innocent, one not so much, and one dislikes being judged as is thinking of creative ways to murder him.

After she pulls the trigger it's revealed that he's with her at an ''amusement park'' and they were playing the shooting gallery. Laura has put a round straight through the forehead of one of the prizes, a teddy bear, to the distress and amazement of the carny. When Logan tells her that wasn't what he expected, Laura flatly reminds him he ''said'' to aim at what she wanted.
** As they walk away (with the bear in hand!) she comments about how roller coasters are said to make people want to scream and throw up, and wants to try that.

She and Laura have rejoined the captured X-Men and the Savage Land mutates, who are preparing to face the Hauk'ka. Psylocke is sitting on a branch, deftly braiding her hair while talking with Bishop. Laura is emulating her in the background, fighting with her hair, trying to get it to behave. A few pages later when the Hauk'ka arrive, Psylocke has moved on to helping Nightcrawler and Bishop un-lock their powers, perfect braid swaying behind her... and X-23 rushes out to fight Raina, with her hair in a messy bun, apparently having given up on it.
