Lipton's comment seemed to come out of nowhere at first, especially since Hitler hadn't been around in fifty years, but Jax chalked it up to fatigue settling in as well as him trying to find a comparison.
At Scorpion's comment, he found himself smiling just a little.
"When she first joined the Special Forces, one of the first assignments her team was sent on involved an attack on the pentagon. During the attack, Sonya got a knifed in the shoulder when she engaged an enemy in combat." Jax guessed the man ran out of ammo or was disarmed of his rifle. "And yet she not only defeated the guy but managed to drag one of her men to safety right before she passed out." She still had the knife scar to this day, it was only luck and bad aim that the knife missed her collar bone.
He nodded his head, agreeing with Scorpion. "God help anyone who tries to stop her. It's like trying to stop a river: you can only direct it to move someplace else."
He turned to address Lipton. "You're a good man. When," He didn't say 'if'. "-things go back to normal, would you mind transferring over to our platoon. Before everything went to hell, Sonya and I were considering a military branch focused on defending Earth realm against other invaders-we could use a good man-"
Jax was cut off when Sub-Zero, who seemed rather indifferent with his own concerns, raised a hand in a motion for everyone to keep quiet. Sure enough, they just managed to hear a few seconds of what sounded like a man screaming out, before getting cut off. The ice ninja quickly and silently ran off towards where the sound came from, returning a few minutes later.
"Kano's dead." He said, his face otherwise unreadable. "Sonya managed to throw him off the edge of the building." The man also had a long, lock of blond hair in one of his fists, and the ninja guessed that he'd tried to grab onto Sonya's hair to pull her down with him and failed.
Jax said a quick prayer at the news, but was brought back to earth when a light followed by a beeping noise went off on his arm.
"Shit, it's from the others." Kung Lao and or Liu must've needed their help. "Sub-Zero, come with me. Lipton and Scorpion, wait here for Sonya, tell her we'll be back shortly."
With that, he and Sub-Zero left, following the tracer on the distress signal given out by Kung Lao.
ooc: sorry for the length
