[center]Ali watched the scenes unfolding rapidly before her eyes. As the newcomer, Kurt, stumbled inside she couldn't help but let out a small shriek. The tiny blue creatures advancing towards Erik and Estella at the bar were beyond peculiar. She placed a hand over her mouth to stifle the sound and accidentally bumped shoulders with Talon in an effort to distance herself from the aqua minions. Her cheeks flushed slightly at the obvious signs of fright radiating from her body. Ali was not usually the type to be startled so easily and found it quite embarrassing to be displaying that quality as a first impression to all these new acquaintances. She stepped away from Talon, brushing her hands down her navy coat, and mumbled an apology. 

Estella's temper and rage had not only been heard during her previous comments, but was now surrounding her levitating body. Ali marveled at the girl's abilities and began to realize the magnitude of Xavier's plan for each and every one of them. She couldn't help but bite her bottom lip in a sort of stifled excitement as her brain began imagining the other powers present in the room. 

Ali's thoughts were interrupted by the gruff voice of Wolverine who had burst back into the room soon after Kurt's arrival. His control and intimidation were apparent to all, but strangely attractive to Ali. Her pupils expanded as the light radiating from Estella's body slowly dissipated and followed Logan eagerly as he made his way towards the flustered boy, Kurt. The two men exchanged a few casual expressions, and Wolverine even addressed Kurt directly. [i]Does he just attract misguided youths?[/i] Ali looked to the Japanese girl still perched in the corner of the bar just as Logan began spouting off instructions and demands. Her eyes shot up to the top floor where he had motioned and then back again to the descending staircase. She couldn't help but smirk at his blunt tone and simplicity. [i]What's beneath that cold steel shell?[/i]

The room grew strangely silent as the sounds of Wolverine's footsteps, followed obediently by Yukiko's, disappeared into the bunker. Ali had never been one for silence and turned to Talon beside her. 

"Alison Blaire, my friends call me Ali."

She winked sweetly and flashed her signature smile as she continued. 

"Care to accompany me to the bunker? The wolf's peaked my interest."

She leaned up on her tiptoes excitedly and motioned her head towards the staircase anxiously awaiting a response.[/center]
