[Cloud waves his hand at the offer, but offers Mikleo a smile in reassurance.]

I'm fine. Other people got more beaten up than me in that last fight, and it looks like they're doing okay now too. For the moment I think we're all safe, at least as safe and well off as we can be, considering. All of this is just exhausting, more mentally than physically.

[Cloud himself had been busy with other things when the murders happened. Or else he was always in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that was perhaps for the best. He didn't know about Mikleo's involvement in the matter, and if someone were to tell him later he'd feel terrible about his thoughts right now.]

And yeah, you're probably right. The thing was I was hoping the fight we just had would be the one we needed to have with her. Not that she'd change the terms after we beat her. But don't worry, you don't need to apologize. Everyone has had things that they've been worried about. Just remember if you ever need help that we're here to help each other out...well most of us are.

[There's really no accounting for Deadpool.]
