His eyes held an apology and a hint of mockery. "Can't handle it fast?" He mocked. Elodia immediately punched him hard on his shoulder, making him wince while he laughed. "I hate you. You almost got us killed. 120 miles per minute? What are you, a speedster?" Elodia complained wanting to throw up from the speeding of Xavier's car.
