Makoto paused, mildly confused. Was Mimic _taunting_ her? It made her feel small in comparison to his skill. She tried to shake the insecurity off, even if it hurt her feelings a bit. She had been proud that she was even able to activate let alone use her powers. The tingling held fast in her dominant hand. The comment from Devika really helped her keep at least some sort of a hold on her emotions, ironically. 

She tried to quickly leaf through all that she remembered from her old school about electricity. It occurred to her that she was wearing rubber soled shoes. weather it would be an aid or a hindrance she wasn't quite sure but she kicked them off about as fast as she could. In the meantime she tried to increase the... voltage? that was in her arm. It spiked, shooting across her body and into the air from all over her skin then it was back to a low buzz in her hand. Makoto noticed that the air felt dryer as she moved, and that her classmates' was standing on end. Was she radiating a charge? Makoto couldn't be sure but it didn't seem as if anyone else had similar powers to her...

Makoto ended up somewhat close to Phoebe, breathing heavily from both the adrenalin and exertion of the fight.
