So, first off, Caroline's mad. That's the thing that gets her, she's mad, and she's not been this kind of mad-at-the-world in a while. She's in the gym, and she's managed to actually mess up one of the punching bags but she's moved to another so she can try and blow off steam.
Well, half blow off steam, and half get better at this, so that her age isn't so much of an overriding factor that she wasn't a better sort of pick then two humans. Let's see Cuthbert go up against Logan, or Klaus, or Mystique, and honestly she wasn't really one to blow her own horn and stack up her powers for her being capable, but it wasn't just her powers. She'd gone up against the Hulk, and was pretty well fine. She could handle herself. She'd died a bunch of times, she wasn't exactly jumping at shadows in the dark. She's trying hard, and she's here, and it's everything that everybody's shown her in this sort of weird mishmash of steps and movements that mixed between human-fast and faster than, and Logan said it was like stacking marbles.
She's sweating and glaring, and really it looks like the bag's personally offended her, but she'll figure it out later - except, of course, she hears the woosh of the door and she turns on a dime, glaring - somewhat without reason - at whomever's in the doorway.

"Hyde's crazy, and I'm young, They're not wrong, but like I said- I mean, I just--" And she's flailing around, trying to find what she's got to say. "Either I'm this thing that's got uses, or I'm not. Either what I am, and what I have are parts of me and make up the whole of what I am, or they're not. You can't say one second that what I am and you are and Klaus is and Hyde is, is dangerous, and then the next second say that I have the maturity of a normal eighteen year old, because I've been dead since I was seventeen."
And it's an explosion of words, and it has nothing to do with Hyde, and Caroline's eyes are shiny, holding her breath for a second as she swallows hard. This is the deep, awful part of it, that she's not talked to Erik about, or anything else, and she doesn't really want to start, it just came out. "Nevermind," she says thickly. "Yeah, they're being hypocrites." And she delicately uses the heel of her hand to scrub across her eyes, one at at time, her head still bent, before she takes a deep breath and looks up.
"They really shouldn't talk about my emotional maturity when they don't even know me." That's what she meant by that, because she's not going to mention that whole dead thing again.
