[indent][color=white]The blonde gritted her teeth, the good humor she felt from her fellow [i]captives[/i] being wiped away in an instant. 

Commanding yells. A taser. A girl getting sprayed like she was a rioter on capitol hill. It got her nerves into a frenzy and she curled her fists tightly. Anxiety was a trigger for her powers, maybe for most of the metahumans she was side-by-side with on an island where it became very much clear that training facility really meant internment camp.

There was an impulse in her to get angry. With the prison guards, security, whatever, exuded their power over them. They weren’t exactly helpless, but they were [i]basically[/i] helpless. It was enough to trigger her natural instincts despite trying to not put herself in the line of fire. She had no problem being here. She chose to be. But seeing how they reacted to a few dumb teenagers made her wonder if she wouldn’t have been better off running to Mexico once she got the offer from AEGIS in the first place. She could feel what must have been her power, though she hadn’t been exactly glowing with light energy yet. 

She could do something. React. She could–

She calmed herself, though she still looked utterly pissed and confused.

So much for this being a community.

A community of [b]fascists[/b] maybe.[/color][/indent][/indent]
