Jaclyn had eyed the goings-on on Max's side of the portal off and on until he came back through. She hadn't caught everything -and honestly wouldn't have tried to, personal as things were- but tension and fear were clear -just not the full context. Though it seemed more related to [i]them[/i] than the present situation. A summation confirmed by the "just don't come back here" statement from the one who gave the strained smile, and Max's follow-up direction of not needing the X-Men to go through the Kingston side of the house.

What was also clear was the attachment Max had towards his family. 
A small, empathetic smile crossed Jaclyn's lips. Fleeting in its presence, though the emotions remained.

It was good to know about Annie's Intuition ability and Perry's "mini-therapy sessions" -she'd made a sound point about everyone's [i]own[/i] emotions. Jaclyn give a nod to her.

It was a bit too busy for Jaclyn to properly assess her own emotional state, a lot still to pay attention to before she could to herself; breaking up into teams having by then been proposed.

Edus was the first to state he'd be on the "stay" team. Jaclyn sensed his disinclination to return to space and couldn't blame him.

Perry actually voiced hers, and brought up another good point to consider: power allocation.

As Jaclyn was essentially a chameleon powers-wise, her consideration was based more on who else she'd be with; what gaps she might be able to cover. Meeting with the Shi'ar didn't seem like a place powers would necessarily be needed, where as meeting with Mary could escalate into a confrontation and, even before Jaclyn paid conscious thought to the matter, she knew where her feelings were decided: helping people was literally in her job description.

[color=gold]"I have experience with different -complex, personal situations from the youth I've worked with, and I know some different tacts to try when a situation can't be related to directly. I'll be staying here, too."[/color]

Her brows then went up at Annie's suggestion of placing Mary in a different reality if need be. Power allocation considered, indeed. To Annie's subsequent offer of packing for everyone, Jaclyn answered as she smoothed a lock of hair behind her ear: [color=gold]"Thanks, Annie. I'll go grab my own bag once we're finished here."[/color]

Max had something of further interest to add, in respects to New Orleans. Jaclyn had never thought of the place as supernatural, though now that it was stated as such it made perfect sense in her brain. She also noted Max seemed more settled as he stated which team he'd join and why. His husband had stepped through the portal to join him. When this was all settled, Jaclyn felt like she really wanted to get to know Max better and his family.

As for now, everything seemed to be falling into better place.

Guin affirmed her leadership of the Earth group and gave them a location to go thanks to Rogue.

Jaclyn cast a sensitive smile towards Avery before saying to the Space-bound group at large, ahead of them following Runa: [color=gold]"Take care, you guys."[/color] 
With what Runa had stated about the Shi'ar, Jaclyn's uncertainty about that avenue was affirmed.
