Tanya stared at Dr. Peterson as she was sitting on the cold grey floor. It took only a few seconds for them both to realize the conclusion of their brief conversation. She predicted his offer exactly and his telepathy knew the response that would be given. Such a interesting combination of powers allowed them very limited vocal communication. The doctors she met didn't limit her abilities to see the future due to how limited she was in how to use them, but it was just an act Tanya put on since she simply didn't try to escape. Dr. Peterson however was a telepath with obvious knowledge on her power and prepared himself for this conversation.
"Don't worry Ms. Watson your family is okay and are simply worried about you. We can speak about contacting them later. If you take the offer of course."
It was an interesting choice for someone like her. Either stay inside a cell for potentially the rest of her life, or go out and become a hero. She was skeptical of the "Hero" part, but it was at least better than dying in solitude accomplishing nothing. Her trust in people like him was low, but it wasn't like they were incapable of doing worse to her without asking.
"Well the world isn't going to save itself. Lets go Doctor." She said while stretching. Tanya felt a great deal of relief, but still had to suppress her anger. The hatred she had for the ones who imprisoned her in mostly solitude for so long was still raw. The Doctor could pick up on it, but he didn't bother to acknowledge it. She kept calm for now while following him out of her cell where she met a dozen other individuals. They were all likely "Gifted" some were clearly...something. The tentacles and the weirdly shaped body gave it away, and for a moment she knew why people were afraid. However, she was essentially like them and honestly no amount of tentacles would seem stranger than her temporal abilities.
As they walked down the hall Tanya wondered about the powers gathered here. She listened to their comments but decided not to join in. There was just so much to think about and that’s not even including her constantly trying to see into possible futures every few seconds. At one point she saw the plane and muttered "Holy shit!" Before anyone even could see it. When they all found the futuristic jet some appeared obviously impressed. Others more suspicious than before.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The jet took them to a large mansion that was introduced as a base. Like the others it was quite clear reality was getting stranger than fiction. She eventually broke off from the group to get cleaned up and even change into some clothes. A basic T-shirt and some jogging pants seemed okay and comfortable. It also made her notice that these seemed prepared for them, but the fact they were civilian clothes not military was strange.
She met with David and they both went down stairs to regroup with everyone. There he stated his intentions clearly to everyone. They were to be trained and that’s what Tanya was waiting for. Instead of heroes she always assumed they would be soldiers and the first person to begin their demonstration simply enforced that belief.
Archer was the first to show his power.He looked normal enough, but when he let out a power capable of obliterating anything it hit. At that point she was rather happy about her position behind the reinforced viewing window. Of course he wasn't the only powerful Gifted. Every single person that was sent up had extraordinary power. Tanya even felt a little jealous of Fiona's ability. They all seemed fairly powerful in their own right, but their bickering did make it sound like their superhero team will be entering some growing pains soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When David declared these demonstrations to be over today Tanya felt relieved. Considering her ability she imagined a number of tests that could strain her both mentally and physically. While she was a hard working University student with multiple jobs; Tanya was also rather lazy and she's still trying to push her limits while at the same time not destroying her mind.
