Ali watched the scene between Nathan and the pretty brunette with surprise. She couldn't put a name to the face and judging by ht elook on Nathan's face, he didn't know her either. When she reached out though, to touch the boys cheek lightly, it became rather clear that this was a mutant power thing. It didn't take long. She back away quickly, then turned, excusing herself as she started hurriedly leaving them behind. Not exactly an uncommon occurence in this school, unfortunately. They were, after all, all still learning to handle and control their powers and for some that meant having to be on their own to calm down. For some, it was even dangerous if they lost it in the presence of other people.

Ali watched her leave silently, Nathan did as well. She turned back around, feeling a little awkward and still sort of waitng for him to remember and answer her questions. At least, it looked like he had calmed down usfficiently for now. 

[color=Silver]“Umm...Sorry about that I guess. I uh...Yeah my powers let me absorb different types of energy. I’m not exactly sure about the extent of it, but that’s pretty much what I am.”[/color] The smile that followed seemed rather forced, but Ali didn't comment, just smiled reassuringly back at him and let him talk on. [color=Silver]“I’m really sorry that I scared you...It wasn’t my intention at all. I’m an idiot. I didn’t even think about it being some kind of test I just did the only thing to think of to save you...and everyone else. I didn’t know what else to do. All I’m good at is taking a hit I guess. Thanks, by the way, for uh...coming after me. I just needed a minute to breath. I’m sorry for worrying you all. It means a lot though, really. I’m not used to people caring like that.”[/color] She was a little surprised at how seriously he said the last part. Sure they had pretty much only just met, but they were going to be a team and she thought it was the right thing to do to care about your teammates, even if things had only just gotten started.

[color=Teal]"No need to apologize, Nathan."[/color] she told him warmly, with a smile. [color=Teal]"Really. We're going to be a team and so we'll obviously see much more of each other, so I think it's a given that we should look after each other. And I was just startled at, actually, at pretty much everything that happened in there."[/color] she gestured back towards the Training Center. [color=Teal]"Certainly would have helped if we had all known what the others could do. Actually, I think what they did, you know, locking us in there and putting on that show and making us fear for our lives, was horrible. Even I'm angry, and I don't exactly get angry easily."[/color] She grimaced. [color=Teal]"So, like I said. Don't worry. And don't apologize. We did what we could, I guess. I mean, you all I managed was make two people vanish and then I was pretty much useless. My power isn't exactly very useful in a fight."[/color] She decided that was quite enough of babbling on about herself. [color=Teal]"I'm just glad you're alright."[/color] she allowed herself to add.

Alison glanced back at the school. [color=Teal]"Do you need some more time? Or do you have classes to get to?"[/color] She quietly wondered to herself how much they'd already missed wit the whole TC thing. She guessed the teachers knew about it and wouldn't make a fuss overmissing some classes, though.
