Her fists clenched so hard into the fabric of her skirt that she could see her knuckles starting to turn white.
It had occurred to Aliana that she could disappear and leave this room entirely with little to no one noticing. Everyone else might not be [i]entirely freaked[/i] but she was. She couldn't blame the girl with the dark hair for hurrying out in the way that she had. She was wanting to do the same but loyalty to Penny was holding her here, she wasn't going to leave her best friend to face off with the masses on her own. 

She hadn't been able to react when Count Dracula had darkened the room, it had been too quick. She had noticed the dejected body of the bat and how it lie crumpled on the floor, it reminded her of how much damage that Penny was capable of. Billy was looking worn out on everything and she almost wanted to try to comfort him, after getting bitched at by Claire and getting a small animal thrown at his face, he'd already had quite a crappy day. 

She couldn't bring herself to do much more than give him a slightly apologetic glance, as if [i]she[/i] had to apologize for all these grown ass adults and [i]their[/i] actions. It wasn't like she could bust out a hug in the middle of this room or anything, he'd have to deal with pity glances. She liked Billy and there was really no reason for everyone to gang up on him like that.

She turned her attention to Britney when she began to talk about the Awakened and she could immediately feel a question pressing onto her tongue. "[color=8882be]Brit, I trust you and I trust what you're doing here but. . . I can't help but wondering, are you a part of this too? You're speaking with experience, so I can only assume that you've experienced something.[/color]"

Martin however, did not [i]know[/i] or [i]trust[/i] Britney. All he'd gathered about the girl so far was that she seemed to be holding in a lot of secrets. It wasn't that he really cared, if she wanted to hold group therapy sessions and hide things then that was her business. He just couldn't help but feeling like he'd been duped into attending a gathering for all the kiddos who'd developed super powers. He'd wanted to scope for markings but he hadn't expected it to be this forthcoming. 

He needed to update the notes on his phone, especially in light of Rien's abilities. He hadn't caught what Penny had done to the bat, but if he had then he probably would have been appalled. The foreign girl had spoken up and she'd been angry, rightfully so, he would have apologized too but he hadn't done anything to her. He had only quieted up the room, he didn't really see any crime with that.

He liked that Rien was taking this with a grain of salt, it made him feel irrational for being scared of it. They kind of had a point, [i]who cares?[/i] "[color=c4df9b]Why did we all share that dream? Is that a part of it? Like [i]duh[/i] that's a part of it but why did it happen?[/color]"
