Makoto had gotten up to follow Flood and Phoebe to class when the sprinklers went off, thoughts of still needing gym clothes fled from her mind. She had quickly put distance between herself and Flood to try and find a place close by with little water, then he brought out his guns. The guy was practically dancing in the ‘rain’. Makoto wanted to get out of the area with water as soon as possible. She didn’t want her powers to activate on their own due to her lack of control and hurt someone. She felt like a human live wire, if she could still be considered human. She had heard some call people like her mutants, in the plane ride to The Academy and as people cried out in fear as the X-Men rescued her. 

[b]“Phoebe? Phoebe?”[/b] Makoto called to her… friend. [b]“I can’t be here.”[/b] The wild fear clear on her face. Without meaning to, her fear, her emotions were inadvertently activating her powers. The water at her feet, should anyone step into it, would feel like its softly tingling.

Devika walked by on her way toward the gym, and got hit with a wave of fear so bad she almost stumbled. Turning her head, it was clear who it had come from. She stepped closer to the terrified looking girl, smiling a bit and trying not to show her discomfort.  She spoke low and soothing, emanating a slow wave of calm to try and ease the girl. "Hey, hey... it's okay. Calm down, take a deep breath. From here." She touched her stomach, indicating that the girl should breathe from the diaphragm. Her boots were made for winter, and they were thick. The tingling water she was standing in had yet to even come to her attention. "What can I do to help? Do you not want to get wet?"
