Makoto let Estella guide her into the tent where a mature man worked expertly, she didn't recognize him but he also wasn't in a paramedic's uniform. Paramedics were around, working with what they had and transporting who they could fit to what Makoto assumed was the closest hospital. Makoto resolved to the option that the strange man was gifted and was either extremely educated or could heal others. A flicker of envy burned inside her, all she ever wanted was to help like that but her gift was one of destruction. Well, she really shouldn't think like that. Storm had taught her that if she put enough effort and thought into it, she could use her powers for anything. As it stood she already knew how to act as an AED and jump start someone's heart. On that note she looked around, spotting a paramedic doing chest compressions while another was headed towards him with a stretcher.

"Wait!" Makoto called, catching the attention of some bystanders. "Let me help." she rushed over, caught up in the moment and forgetting to thank Estella. The paramedic looked confused and frustrated with her. "No, really, I use electricity. I know how to shock his SA node." By now the other paramedic had reached them. With the consent of the one doing compression, the other helped prep the student as best she could. Makoto confirmed with the medics the approximate age and thus voltage to be used. She placed her hands quickly on the top right of the dead boy's chest and one to his right side just below the arm pit. "Alright..." she said, raising her hands slightly off the boy. "... clear?" the paramedics nodded and Makoto pressed her hands onto the boy's bare skin. He jolted, his muscles flexing involuntarily. Makoto raised her hands, a paramedic checking for a pulse, she shook her dead no. "... clear?" the boy flexed again and the woman checked for a pulse. This time she nodded, a slight smile breaking across her tired face. Makoto beamed at the success, her first human one, and moved out of the way of the paramedics.

Makoto smiled limply at Estella, an old friend. They had been close at the academy but after they graduated, the two had lost contact with the other. She had many positive memories about the elemental telepath.

"Hello Estella." She said, warmth filling her tone. "Is there a medical tent or has anyone just recently died? Please, tell everyone I can help if that's the case." her tone steeling to a more professional key. Makoto lifted the flap of her bag, exposing some basic first aid supplies and a few textbooks with elaborate titles on the spine, as if to explain what she could do. She didn't completely realize that Estella may not have known that she was in health science and knew her way around basic health care.

State of Heroes and Villains

Makoto had been diligently studying and attending classes all day. Her schooling often required much of her focus so she almost never heard about the news until it trickled through social media to reach her. She was walking towards home, a small shared townhouse between herself and 3 other students at the same university. Only one of the 3 was also majoring in Health Science where as the other two were in very different programs; one in Social Sciences and the other in Information Technologies. Her heavy, old school, beat up brick of a phone hung made an outline on her brown messenger bag. Her text books bumped against her hip as she walked with her hands in the pockets of her open zippie sweatshirt. Of course her sweater was bright orange and the oversize hood was pulled up over her blonde hair. Often Makoto walked like this, hiding her indigo eyes from other's view. She even took the extra step to wear glasses to detract others from them, often passing off the oddity as a genetic deformity. In reality she knew it was because of her powers, it changed her body's makeup the more she used it, became more of a conductor in a safe way for her body. As usual, many students were both walking to and from the school in the evening. Makoto strongly disliked the late afternoon/evening classes, she was much more of a morning person.

"...superpower academy..."

Makoto's head snapped up and faltered in her quiet, don't mess with me, stride. It was a young male talking with his friends loudly as they walked towards the school. She listened in, slowing her pace to the dismay of those behind her.

"... good thing too, they freak me out. Plus, who needs superhero's today anyway?..." the same boy continued.

The words stung Makoto, knowing all to well it's not a choice for those gifted with superhuman abilities. His demeanor seemed to be that of one seeking acceptance. She could tell that he more meant it to stay as a in guy with the boys he was walking with more than he meant the harsh words. Yet, what was he implying.

"...to blow up the school is definitely one way of dealing with the issue..." another boy spoke.

Makoto was shocked at what she heard. She listened all the more carefully at the young men's conversation, confirming what had happened and when. So not to look odd, and taking all the restraint she had, Makoto quickened her pace to what it was before the boys came along and managed to make it all the way home.

As soon as Makoto walked in the door she was relieved to find that the house was mostly empty. Her IT roommate was engrossed in a video game, so he was hardly home in all reality. She rushed up to her room, sifting through what she would need along the way. Makoto moved as fast as she could, gathering some essentials. She was planning for a day trip and maybe an overnight stay, after all she was a 30 minute bus ride away from the Academy's town. The last thing she did before rushing out the door was write a note to her roommates. She said that there had been a sudden issue at home and that she was going back for a bit. Grabbing her bus schedules and maps for both towns she sped out the door, calling Storm's cell phone.

On the bus Makoto tried Storm's cell again. She knew her unofficial mother supplied sometimes at the Academy, Makoto hoped she wasn't there today and that she was just busy saving the world. She resolved to reviewing relevant sections she had pulled from her textbooks to use in emergencies. Assessment, care and even the parts on electricity. After what felt like an eternity, she got off the bus at the closest stop to the Academy.

Makoto was horrified. Dust had already settled and emergency crews still picked away at the debris, laying the dead out in neat rows. Many of those still affiliated with the Academy were there, graduates and other gifted folk helping with the effort. Makoto tried to come close, to join them but was quickly stopped by a police officer.

"You don't understand," Makoto pleaded with him, as he tried to lead her away as the rest of his unit seemed to be in charge of keeping the crowds at bay. "I came to help, this was my school." Still he pushed. Having been under strain as it was Makoto pushed back, using a bit of her powers. She amplified her own body's electricity and guided the excess into the police officer's body. "Let.Me.Go." her statement was a final one, knowing his body would feel like pins and needles all over his skin. Quickly, finally realizing his mistake he released her.

Makoto rushed to the mass of people scattered across the rubble, her hood back and glasses gone, sturdy shoes kept their grip on the rubble. Storm's fate gnawed fiercely in her mind, but Makoto had come to understand that one must still act with wisdom and accuracy even with fear there.

"I can help!" She called, slightly brethless from the ordeal. "I'm a defibrillator." She was unsure if everyone heard her so she scanned the people for a familiar telepath. Looking around she noticed many gifted people whom she knew well, why hadn't they contacted her earlier?

That's fair. I'm trying to catch up as fast as I can so that I can post :P

State of Heroes and Villains

Didn't get the chance to show her powers much since you joined. Estella would have a natural resistance to shock so they probably would have made good training partners while at the academy.

@t2wave

That's fair :P
Knowing Makoto, she would have done most of her training on dummies to try and avoid hurting anyone. I guess the times that she didn't sue dummies she could have trained with Estella :)

State of Heroes and Villains

@t2wave Oh! I didn't know that :P maybe they would get along then :P We'd have to see!

Bio

Childhood
Makoto’s father was Japanese and her mother was Caucasian/Canadian. They lived happily together in a small home. At the age of 10 her father was diagnosed with cancer. He battled and they tried to get him the best treatment they could. In the end the doctors had caught it too late and he died when Makoto was 12. Makoto’s mother did her best to cope and continue to raise Makoto the best she could.

The loss of her father took quite a toll on her mother. She began to drink in secret. As time went on and the effectiveness of alcohol wore off, Makoto’s mom began to drink more frequently and in greater amounts. Often her mom would go to a local bar and not be home until practically the next morning just in time to go to work. One morning, Makoto awoke to the doorbell ringing. She opened it and to her surprise there was a police officer there. He explained to her that earlier in the evening her mother had gotten into a car crash while still intoxicated and died. In a way Makoto was glad that when her mom crashed, she hadn’t hit another car and killed others, but she was still pained by her mother’s passing. Makoto was 14.

Power Manifestation/High School
There were not many people left around her since her mother had pushed most of their family friends away and didn’t make it easy to build relationships with people at school (not allowed to go out or have people over). Makoto managed alright after that, being in a suspended state of shock. Her world came crashing down one day when it came to the attention of her high school teachers that she was underage and without parents. Child services was notified and Makoto did not take the action lightly. It made everything real, she couldn’t just pretend that her mother was still out at a bar somewhere. It was in this moment that 15 year old Makoto manifested her powers, scaring the social worker and company away.

She tried to pack up and leave, maybe find somewhere else to go so that they couldn’t find her again. Maybe enroll in a night school or something to continue her education. As she bundled up and left, it was spring, she couldn’t help but notice that as she walked by people their hair would begin to stand on end. If she loitered people would begin discussing that it’s a phenomenon that happens right before a lightning strike, yet no storms were forecasted. It was all too close to the truth for Makoto and she kept moving until she came across a quiet area she could sit and think without hurting anyone. She closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.

“Hello young lady.” Makoto looked up. There was a very attractive woman standing in front of her, talking to her. “You seem upset, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” This woman made her uncomfortable. Something was wrong…
“Are you sure? Why don’t you let me buy you a hot chocolate?” The woman persisted.
“No thanks, I’m alright.” Makoto began to squirm and try to scoot away.
“No, you need to come with me.” The woman reached out to grab Makoto’s wrist, succeeding.
“No! Let go!” Makoto yelled, releasing an amplified amount of the static electricity she created into the area and the women. The lady cried out in pain, her skin flipping like scales to reveal many identities and settling on a blue face. Makoto was stunned, as much about the woman as she was about herself. She tried to get up and run but by the time she was able to recover herself, the woman was moving again. The people around had begun to shriek and cry out for help. Not long after other people, mutants clashed in a fray. Makoto seemed to be in the middle of it. Finally she seemed to land under the care of a team of mutants in black and yellow uniforms.

“What’s going on?” Makoto asked, trying to put pieces together. “Where are you taking me?”
“To a safer place than this where you can learn to control your powers.” A woman with silver hair said to her. Soon and with little argument from Makoto, they were off. It wasn't long before they arrived at their destination, Xavier’s School for Gifted Students.

Xavier's School for Gifted Students
Makoto spent 2 years there, mostly studying school work and avoiding her powers at all costs. She continually displayed a scared and meek demeanor as she continued to run from the truth of her life.

One day, Storm (the last headmaster of Xavier’s School) approached Makoto before a school wide assembly. She explained to Makoto that something new was going to be coming about, a new and better school for gifted people. Reluctant, Makoto was on board with the plan and she was glad that her guardian, for lack of a better term, warned her before the assembly. Soon, Makoto and the rest of Xavier’s school was brought to The Academy for Heroes and Villains.

The Academy of Heroes and Villains
At The Academy, Makoto kept her quiet disposition but began to display it as a gentle strength as opposed to a tender weakness. Her intelligence became much more apparent as she began to finally work through the situations in her life, giving her confidence. She made many friends at The Academy. Her closest friends would have been Phoebe and Katherin. Makoto feels great amounts of affection for the two girls that helped her so much with giving her the strength to face her past and her present. Makoto gained her High School Diploma from The Academy as well as becoming proficient in Baguazhang and Iron Palm. She learned how to control her powers and that she had the gift of cytokineses as well. She also learned how to mask her powers so that the public would not know she was different. Having graduated she has completely taken on the name Gale as her super identity and Makoto is her secret identity.

University
At the age of 19 Makoto began her university career at a local institute for a bachelors in health science.

Appearance: Highschool

The closest image I could find ^^"
The glasses would be for play/cosmetic reasons, not as much boob (like 1-2 cup sizes down), definitely more modest shorts, and indigo eyes

Classes:
Makoto is studying at a local university, hiding her powers and doing her undergraduate degree in Health Science. She will be graduating the spring she turns 23.
