[b]PRT Headquarters, 9:05am
June 19th, 2021[/b]


The boy who pulled a knife upon Evie's arrival shed a bit more light on their visitor with his next words to Grandmaster. Faith did recall hearing snippets of news and gossip about a teenage vigilante. So, this was her? No wonder she seemed to have a chip on her shoulder. This girl immediately referring to the rest of them as a 'clownhouse' certainly didn't help Faith's impression of her. 

Grandmaster was talking to the boy about power dampeners. She supposed he and possibly others in this room may have an easier time with a power dampener but as long as they all wore the earpeices as instructed, That's all Faith could ask for in regards to her own power. Axiom then stepped foward and removed her helmet. Faith had of course seen her without the helped several times during her frequent visits here the past month, but it was still surprising to see her take her helmet off in this room. Axiom's words were reassuring. Despite the training she'd already been given by the PRT that very few others had received yet, Faith could still tell she was among the least experienced people in this room when it came to, well, anything relating to Hero work. 

Shattercrash's comment rubbed Faith the wrong way. Not all of them have been fighting crime for over a year. Just because the PRT hadn't taught Evie anything of value didn't mean they hadn't taught anyone anything. Faith was very proud of how far she'd managed to come in only a month due to the Protectorate's heavy training schedule. It was more than she'd ever dreamed of and she was excited to see how much she'd improve in the future. She kept this to herself of course. She still wanted to at least try to get along with everybody.

When she asked them all their powers, Faith relaxed a little. It was a good idea for everybody in the room to get to know each other, and their powers. The majority of the room as of yet hadn't even tried to break the ice with one another. Tandem went first. Faith had been shocked when she'd learned of Ashley's history. She was in Faith's eyes a good girl with a heart of gold, so to learn where she'd came from was very surprising. Faith had already listened to Ashley's explaination and seen it in action so instead of listening intently, she grabbed two of the metal cases, opened one, and put her earpiece on. 

She turned and approached Shattercrash and Tandem. Ashley was showing bags of candy to the room. Faith gave Ashley a raised eyebrow. She hoped that wasn't too old. Or if it was fresh, that it wasn't stolen. Faith had tried to get Ashley to think and act more morally. Some little progress had been made, maybe?

Faith sighed, and looked back up to Evie. Normally Faith would have tried to put on a smile but she could sense that Evie would appreciate fake friendliness even less than honest weariness.

[color=faca20]"My power, explained simply, is that if I say a command, anyone who can hear me is inclined to do it. The effect is more potent, the more those people trust me."[/color] Faith explained, before holding out her hand and offering Evie her earpiece. Faith was very tempted to tell Evie to take it and put it on. The effect in itself would be the best advertisement for why she should keep it on at all times. She decided against this. That action still went against her principles. [color=faca20]"Even if people don't trust me at all, it still has an effect. So I merely suggest it might be a good idea for everybody to keep their earpieces on. That is what they're for."[/color]
