Kaiden turned to the projector as Mimic made his digital announcement for his first power developement class. He gritted his teeth as Mimic called him 'Nightcrawler Jr.' and clenched his hands in to fists. That was the last thing he wanted people around here calling him. When he saw who he was paired with he widened his eyes in surprise. He turned and looked at Kijani. A wave of anger flushed over him, his face slightly warm with the memory of their last encounter, which was brief, violent, and embarrassing. Kaiden hadn't planned on ever having to deal with Kijani again, and yet here he was. How was he supposed to fight with someone that probably still hated him? She had every reason not to trust him and he had no desire to work with her. And yet he didn't see that he had any other choice. He vaguely saw Kalinda leave and responded with a "you too", his mind already racing. How could he fight when he still couldn't perfect the one power he knew he had? And teleporting was not something that could easily win a fight; it seemed to him to be more of a defensive strategy.
Kaiden walked towards Kijani, glancing over to see the first pair move towards the sparring area. He had no idea how powerful Kijani was but he could only assume she was weak after what had happened earlier today. He felt furious about the matches and how unfair it felt with the pairing. He had never sparred before and knowing they would have to fight a narcissistic, belligerent psycho (that would be Flood) made him apprehensive for their turn in the ring. He was pretty sure Flood and Nicholas would win at their turn in the spar and he dreaded having to go up against Flood.
Kaiden turned his head to Kijani. He had a lot of assumptions, many of which he could be honest enough with himself were probably wrong, and they needed a plan of attack. This would obviously not be his last sparring and he was determined to learn and improve his skills. "So, uh, what do you have to bring to the table?"
