[Center][h2][b]Amara [i]'Mara'[/i] Nguyen[/b][/h2]
Location: Auditorium - Training room[/center]

The woman had quickly shut down the question portion and began to rattle off the pairing names. [I]'Nikolai?'[/i] her brows shot up slightly as they had begun to shuffle towards the training room. Mara's brain quickly brought up the list of what she knew about the punk teen. To be honest she hadn't had very many interactions and while her hearr had sunk a little at the pairing she overall wasn't too overly distressed. 

He was a teleporter. In fact, his power was the first thing to really greet Mara. As she had slunk out into the hallway on her first day still groggy from the slowing ebbing tranquilizer. A quirky smile tugged at her lips as she remembered the chaos he had caused from his sudden appearance along with her questioning her own sanity. 

She folded her arms across her chest and audibly sighed. Mara wasn't quite she what they were going to put them through. She was in her own head when Nikolai had approached her. His size easily dwarfing the petite youth. 

"So, look like we will be partnered. I dont know what you do." He scratched the side of his head, "I dont know what to do here. I dont have control over my power. It happens before I realize it." 

The smile that had fallen from her lips earlier had returned as she watched the teen talk; his words slurring with his accent. [I]'At least he speaks English.'[/i] It would make things easier at least. 

While Nikolai's rather [i]drastic [/i] exterior appearance would usually be off putting to most it actually wasn't a bother to Mara, what did get to her was the height difference and she felt herself take a small step back to put some distance between the two.

She let her arms fall to her sides as her eyes drilled into the ground. She hadn't spoken to anyone about her power outside of Felix. Actually, that wasn't true. There was a girl that she had met that first day but suddenly she had vanished. An uneasy feeling coiled in the pit of her stomach and refused to move as she struggled to take in a deep breath. 

[Color=teal]"Ah, yeah..."[/color] she mumbled in respond as her brain sluggishly tried to find a good way of putting it, [color=teal]"It's nothing impressive really."[/color] Mara could feel herself stall as her inner voice sighed loudly.

[I]'Dude can freaking teleport. Just spit it out!'[/i]

[Color=teal]"I can slow down time...sorta."[/color]

It was still weird to admit to other people. With Felix it was always him pushing her to believe in what she knew at her core was the truth but speaking it out loud to a new face struck an awkward cord. Heat rose and colored her cheeks once more as she silently cursed her fair complexion. Though somewhere in her admission she had stopped glaring at the floor beneath them and had sought his own gaze. Mara's lips pressed in a grim expression as her eyes sparked with worry as she took in his reaction.

[Color=teal]"I can't really control it either."[/color] Oh, no. Her mouth had begun to move of its own accord, sending a fresh wave of panic through her lithe frame.[Color=teal]"In fact it usually only lasts from two to four seconds and then poof. Like nothing happened. Except that one time...when my father and I were in a car accident. It was like hours passed in the span of seconds and I was able to move myself into a better positon. My father on the other hand didn't move and was more or less crushed."[/color]

Mara's face was now a steady pink as terror flickered within her dark eyes. Did she really have no control over her mouth? Spewing out her life story to someone who didn't ask nor probably cared and for once even her inner self was shocked into silence.
