Josie had thrown herself into the fray as soon as shots started being fired. With as much raw emotion being flung around on both sides of the conflict, she had more than enough psionic energy to pull from for her constructs. Some of the energies ticked away with the regularity of a metronome (zealots, just about incapable of stringing together thoughts besides what they'd been trained to think), some of them shrieked and pulled to and fro like a violin on fire (students, running for their lives), some of them had a low sharp ripple like a snare drum (experienced X-Men, fighting back with vigor, even as it always seemed so sadly familiar to them as well). She scarcely even had time to 'look' at her next power source, as she formed a sphere of hardened energy in one hand and a sling in the other. She whipped it around her head once and then let the bullet fly at a duo of Purifiers who apparently had one of the other students cornered.
The bullet, instead of knocking one of them off their feet as it should have, exploded in a rainbow of blinding light. The impact was still there, no question, but it... that just wasn't something that happened!
The energy had come from him. She stared at the other student for a half-second, before making a shield (from someone else's thoughts this time) to deflect an incoming spray of bullets. "What's wrong with your brain?!" was what she managed to blurt out.
