With a shrieking, burning mutant dragon thing flailing off her as it tries desperately to put itself out with its wings -- pointlessly, those burns go beyond third degree -- X-23 still doesn't stop, rising in one fluid motion. It wouldn't matter if he burned her down to her skeleton, she'd still be moving, but that he doesn't is awfully convenient. Even her healing factor takes time.
Her foot slams down on the dragon's neck, severing its head from its spine with one of her foot claws, ruthlessly efficient. She plans on being doubly sure everything that is killed stays dead.
Laura turns to look at him then, briefly assessing him with a sweeping glance. She doesn't know his level of training. He's Magneto's and he's obviously not inept, but those things are huge, faster than they look, and equipped to respond to specific mutant powers. The New X-Men spent a lot of their time in the Danger Room running simulations against them, and it was a long time before they consistently won.
In the end, she decides to ask, pointing in the distance at the Sentinel, which is just visible as it stands at least ten feet higher than the building it's behind. "Can you fight those?" Can he, not will he. If his answer is no, then she's going in alone.
