Auditorium [/center]

Secretly, Irina had been thankful that Nikolai had chosen to sit near by. He would be of great help if danger arose. Although it seemed highly unlikely to happen. 

As other teenagers began to fill in the seats, Irina had winced and cringed little by little, every single time they sat down. Fortunately, nothing flooded her mind. Not even when the strangers in lab coats came in. 

[i]'Thank god'[/i], she thought as she listened carefully. They had nullified all of their abilities, and for a fraction of a second, Irina actually felt some gratitude for these strangers in lab coats. That was until the woman began to explain what had happened and what was going to happen. She had gotten over her initial fear, now that the impending threat of the voices was gone. Irina's green eyes bored into 'Elisa's' as she became slightly flabbergasted at what she was asking the teenagers to do. Irina's mouth fell slightly agape as she tried to wrap her head around the fact that this woman wanted them to go off and be tested by their kidnappers. 

Once Elisa was finished, Irina finally decided to speak up. She had granted the woman the decency and respect of finishing her absurd speech in exchange for them turning off the voices in her head. 

"So what you are saying is that we, the ones who were taken involuntarily, have to go with you all, the kidnappers..." Her Spanish accent only became 'thicker' as she let her anger and frustration get to her. "Kidnapping is a big offense, no? Keeping us hostage and sticking needles in us, much more of an offense, right?" Her sarcasm was now a bit more difficult to pick out from her real questions as she continued, her hands balling up on her lap. By now she had little to no fear and had far forgotten the voices that threatened to come back at any minute if they allowed. "I call bullshit," Irina spat the word at Elisa and her companion as if it were venom, "i am not going with any of your "coaches" and I am not going to get any of these 'preliminary' tests." 

Irina was sure that the others probably thought she was outright crazy for questioning the authority of their captors. She was also sure that both Abel and Nikolai probably thought she was insane after they had witnessed her meltdown and she had shown weakness. For now, she couldn't care less. Her true colors had to be shown some day and since she didn't plan on staying here for long, she went ahead and showed them to everyone while they were all still together.
