Aleen'a did not, and could not, say much when their target just went straight to her and Alisa's table. If she was in her fully-recovered state, Aleen'a would have talked the black-haired girl's socks off, but she was unable to think of anything to say due to the panic filling her up from the inside. That's strange, Aleen'a rarely felt this kind of mixed emotion before. Not that she was unable to but because there was nothing for her to be panicked about before. She had always relied on her powers and training during her missions so she still had some level of confidence even when it seemed the odds were stacked against her. Now, not only was she not at full strength yet but all her training did not prepare her for situations like these.

Thankfully, Alisa managed to cover up just fine for the both of them and Aleen'a gently squeezed her friend's hand under the table to show her appreciation. Still, Aleen'a couldn't shake off the feeling of embarrassment. She was supposed to be the most powerful in her group in terms of sheer strength and physiology, but it was the first time in her life that she felt utterly useless. What would happen to her if Alisa wasn't there with her? She'll surely blow their cover and be the reason their mission failed again. What would Koriand'r say if she found out her cousin was a liability? Would she be disappointed? Would Aleen'a be sent back to Tamaran? Will [i]her[/i] parents be disappointed too?

Aleen'a could only feel sadness before. At this point, she was now starting to develop the emotion of fear.

The team was now en route to their target, thanks to Viktor planting a tracking device on that teenager. Aleen'a was dressed in the appropriate attire for the mission but she still couldn't fully shake out the feeling of fear she felt back at the cafe. Her heart started to race again just by thinking about it. She could only control her breathing as her way of trying to contain her growing anxiety. 

She almost didn't hear what Viktor said to them due to her focusing on keeping her anxiousness from fully filling her up from the inside. She closed and opened her fist as she sighed. She could feel some of her strength coming back to her but she was still far from her peak. She could only hope that when the time came, Aleen'a wouldn't be much of a burden to her teammates.

Their vehicle stopped at a certain distance from the tracker's location and they covered the rest of the distance on foot to avoid getting caught. They got up the hill and got a clear view of the facility where Kobra kept its kidnapped teens at. There were only two guards and one within a tall tower that was visible to them. Aleen'a couldn't fly yet which might be a good thing since she might easily get spotted. She might not be back at full strength just yet but that doesn't mean she forgot her training as well.

[color=ec008c]"I shall go and take out the one on the left."[/color] Aleen'a said to the team through the comms as she already made her way to her target roving guard, using her stealth suit and the vegetation to help hide her from the enemy's sights. [color=ec008c]"I am in position. Please give me clear sign to knock guard up down."[/color] She said, waiting so she wouldn't commit a mistake due to her fear of jeopardizing her team and their mission.
