Do You Think They Smell Fear?

Get the reference?

I saw the pose and find it somehow fitting for Mikey and Lotus

Lotus is a bit oblivious to any possible dangers, cause she has been locked up most of her life, being a shelved mutant experiment by Baron Draxum.
And I like the idea of Mikey hiding behind Lotus or using her as a shield. Of course when the moment is there, Mikey will be rescuing her.
