[b]“Just once, at lunch yesterday briefly.”[/b] Makoto answered. She hadn’t expected Ryan to really remember her from the small interaction they had. [b]“My name is Makoto.”[/b] She decided that maybe she could give both names [b]“...but please, call me Gale.”[/b] Makoto decided that she couldn’t totally leave her past behind her but maybe working through it was better. Maybe instead of completely shedding Makoto to be Gale, she could evolve into Gale from Makoto. [b]“It’s amazing that you can run that far and so fast…”[/b] So many of the other student’s powers astounded her. She was never able to place what kind of person with what kind of power she would encounter next.

When Flood proceeded to cut of his hand Makoto let out a shrill scream of horror and astonishment. She just looked at him mildly horrified and disturbed. She stayed in this state until she was clearly addressed. Makoto finally looked away from Flood to answer Phoebe. 

[b]“Yes… I think you did. I would really enjoy that.”[/b] She said, quietly and slowly, still somewhat trying to get over the shock of what Flood had just done. She listened to the easy conversation between Ryan and Phoebe. Batglare seemed to give away that Phoebe’s father was Batman, but her power was vines? She was sure that eventually, someday, she may sort out how her classmates came across their powers. Many seemed to come by it honestly, but she had no clue about herself.
