Alison looked up, a little surprised as Nathan introduced himself, a little awkwardly and sort of stumbling over his own words, but being the first to break the awkward silence in the room was always hard. A warm smile crept onto her face when his words set off first Alex, then Casper and when the younger boy fell silent, she decided it was her turn now.

[color=Teal]"It's nice to meet you all. I'm Alison, but most people call me Ali, so feel free to do the same."[/color] she started, sounding calm and friendly and still wearing the smile. [color=Teal]"I, erm, sort of 'create' Illusions. It's a little hard to explain, but I guess that's the way it is with most powers. I look forward to getting to know all of you."[/color] she finished, quick and heartfelt. She wondered, briefly, if she would ever be asked to actually explain her powers. It was hard to find the words for something only you could do the way you did it. Sure, other powers might have similar results, but the way of creating them was always different. Not that she had ever met someone who could do the same thing she could. She imagined it would be an interesting meeting. She wondered if she should mention that, in order to balance out that her powers wasn't of active use in a fight, she kept fit with running and took self-defence classes to avoid being a nuisance should it ever come to that. She wouldn't want her new teammates to think her to be a bother and in immediate need of saving if something happened, but then again she didn't what was waiting for them beyond the door the professors were standing in front of, so she decided to keep that to herself until later.
