Amber eyes watched the newer of the two psychic girls. Her arms tightening on her best friend, not a term the wild woman used lightly. Sara was a new addition to the manor- or their group of mutants- so she knew little of the woman. [color=ForestGreen]"She will be alright."[/color] Ayita would see to it. [color=ForestGreen]"Mere overuse of her abilities. You are?"[/color] Ayita rarely interacted with the newcomers for their first few months. So their names evade the younger shifter. A solid growl erupted from the Alaskan as the elbow of her brother rammed into her side.

Sara turned to face the woman who spoke now. [color=ED455F]"Name's Sara, nice to meet you, though I wish it was under better circumstances. Seems she trusts you, so I don't see a reason to be worried. You doing all right, all things considered?"[/color]

The auburn haired woman tilted her head. So her name was Sara? She had heard talk here and there of the younger woman, talk of her and her powers. She really wanted to see what this girl could do with her own powers, yet dreading if that were to ever come about. The instincts that ran through her veins was a risky thing. Especially when Ayita was first discovering her abilities. [color=ForestGreen]"Ayita. Allison. You're not standing up. You are resting."[/color] Her voice was dry as she commented to Allison, with a stern frown. [color=ForestGreen]"Don't copy my powers. You won't like them."[/color] The younger Laine warned the girl, standing with a huff of air. Picking up Allison on the right side as she made her way from the Blackbird.

Allison mumbled incoherently again, though one could just make out color=FFD9E9]"not the boss of me..."[/color] before she succumbed to Ayita's movements. Sara wanted to help, but she feared the woman a bit. She heard talk from some of the other students about the Laine siblings. Still, Allison seemed like a smart girl and if she trusted Ayita, then Sara had no doubt the woman was capable. [color=ED455F]"I'm a bit new here as I am sure you are aware. Pray tell, what is your power that is so scary? I've seen a few in my time, I probably won't be surprised."[/color]

[color=ForestGreen]"I have ears."[/color] Ayita stated the obvious. Her amber eyes sliding over to Sarah and shifting to become like a cat's. She didn't want to speak of it. Why her powers were so deadly, but a glance towards Richard made her doubt the wisdom of distrubing her already worried brother. [color=ForestGreen]"Form of both, mind of both."[/color] Her lips drew in a tight line. The quiet voice dropping so that only Allison and Sara could hear. [color=ForestGreen]"Balancing my human side with that of a creature. If the human is too strong I cannot shift. If the creature?"[/color] She let the answer of that question hang in the air. To Ayita it didn't need any more explanation. 

Sara was impressed. A shifter, but into animals. She had run in to a few who could shift into other people or into elemental skins. [color=ED455F]"That's impressive. Really. I've known one other shifter in my life and she felt much the same. She worried she did it so much she would lose track of who she really was."[/color] Allison, at this point, was all but passed out, but she still moved as if she could escape the grasp of the woman's arms. [color=ED455F]"Dangerous ground, no doubt, but handy. Amazing, even. Do you like your powers?"[/color] The question may seem odd, because often mutants didn't like their powers. They used them, sure. And those that did like them often used them for selfish means. Did Allison like her powers? Not really, but they were handy. And helpful.

Richard stood with the grace of his artful form. He was rather handsome, worse? He knew it. So it was the infamous Tony Stark who had come to their aid. The Adder wasn't ungrateful, far from it. But he was wary. The man was incredibly well off, his daughter had slugged him, and the man was a target of many an assassin. Not that he had been fool enough to take that contract. Death sentence was what it was. [color=Olive]"Ayita-"[/color] Richard started and paused as Ayita moved off with her 'BFF'. A smirk gracing his features. At least, his beloved baby sister wasn't going for Starkette's throat. Though he was no fool as to think that wasn't coming at some point. Ayita was protective of her only family and was not forgiving. Following the trio of woman, he tried to blend with the background, despite being a tall man who emit danger from his sheer movements. 

Then there was also the Hulk. Hell, forget who was out there. He was a former assassin walking into the Stark Tower. A place that screamed at him to keep his guard up. Starks were mad. Utterly and completely mad. Living a year with Guin- a baby Stark by all accounts- and doing research on them had really underlined that fact. Both in a good and negative way. Ayita paused and adjusted her grip on Allison so the woman would not fall from her hold. Giving a huff of annoyance at Allison's antics. [color=ForestGreen]"I do not know. It allowed me to survive the winters and hunting was not as difficult."[/color] His heart wrenched at the tone. Thoughtful and partially uncaring.

[color=ED455F]"Yeah, well I hate mine. Hate 'em. I don't have one power, I have them all. You know how horrible that is? I can't keep one for longer than an hour. My ability is to copy, so I need other people. Alone, I don't stand a chance."[/color] Allison finally stopped struggling and accepted her fate. [color=ED455F]Take solace in the fact you have something that makes you unique. An asset. Strong."[/color]

[color=ForestGreen]"You are strong. You can adapt."[/color] Ayita chastened the younger mutant. [color=ForestGreen]"I can do nothing again human's machines."[/color] The amber eyes troubled as she set her mouth in a firm line and picked up the pace. Putting an end to the conversation. Richard tilted his head and chuckled slightly. [color=Olive]"No worries. She just hates feeling useless. Comes from always working on something or other."[/color] The assassin tousled Sarah's hair before he moved off in the crowd. Hopefully he wouldn't be overly noticed by anyone who might remember an Adder.

Sara fixed her hair and glared at the older sibling. The words were there. Kind words, but she didn't believe them. Not yet. [color=ED455F]"You're brother is weird."[/color] She followed closely, making sure Ayita could handle the weight. [color=ED455F]"Got her? Shall we get her inside? I don't know about you but I could use a nap myself."[/color]

Ayita gave the young girl a wearisome sigh. Her amber eyes confused and irritated as she stared at Sara. Shaking her head, it was as if Ayita had used up her quota of words for the day. Her form cracking and blurring as she shifted into a large tigress. Shifting so that Allison fell across her back. The shifter sending Sara the idea that she might steady the human. A rumbling huff coming from the large cat. While Allison was a smaller woman, it was easier to balance her across her back.
