[ { "text": "Kalinda finally decided to go to a class taught by Black Widow, in this case, Natalia Romanova. Kalinda wasn't too sure what to expect from this class. Romanova had such a wide range of abilities, that Kalinda was somewhat intimidated. Of course, she wouldn't let this show. Walking into the classroom, which appeared to be a large room, with no desks. Kalinda blinked, so they wouldn't be doing much theory work? She looked about. There were things around the room...mirrors, bars, things Kalinda would otherwise expect in a gym.\n\nWhat was going to happen here? She looked for Black Widow, but knew she probably wouldn't be able to see her until Romanova wanted to be seen. So Kalinda closed her eyes, opened her senses completely. Faint, but there. Emotions in what seemed to be shadows in a corner.\n\nShe opened her eyes, glancing over in the shadows, but there didn't appear to be any sign of anyone there. Okay then. She moved into the shadows, and over to where the emotions she had felt where. Now that she was in the shadows, she could see the woman standing there. A slight movement. Could she sense her? No that wasn't possible. Technically, when Kalinda when into shadows, she wasn't there. She came out behind the woman, pushing her out the shadows.\n\n\"Hi\" Kalinda said, \"Mrs Romanova, I presume?\"\n\n\"Hm. Very well done. I do not think any novices have managed to sneak up on me like that\" Romanova said.\n\nKalinda found herself smiling, as move students entered, \"You can't hide from shadows\" She said, moving to join the incoming students, who all seemed prepared for what was going to happen.*what was going to happen?*Kalinda wondered.\n\nShe didn't have to wonder long. It was soon clear, as a what seemed to be a course was set up. So it was to be a physical class then? Kalinda watched the first few students go through it. She quickly grasped that it was to increase their agility, flexability and durability. She stepped up, deciding to have a go.\n\nBetween her flight power, and her own natural flexibility, Kalinda was extremely flexible. Some people would wonder how her flight abilities would assist her here. Well, they wouldn't have seen her fly. It really was about feeling the wind, and flowing with it, she had decided, after her flight with Griffin and Zack.\n\nShe just never knew how...athletic she could be/ Never really given the chance, she was now finding abilities that she had never had, had only seen in movies, or read in books. She ran, ducked, jumped, bent under and over bars, swung over poles, twirling, tumbling, cartwheeling and leaping. She really didn't know what she was doing, just seeing what was ahead, and acting.\n\nShe landed at the finish, breathing hard, and looking back. Someone else was already starting, but Kalinda had never felt so alive. Had she really just done what that student was doing? Seriously? She couldn't believe it.\n\n\"from the look on your face, I would say this is your first time doing something like this, and you can't believe it\" Romanova said, \"Which makes this even more of a feat. Tell me, what have you done throughout your childhood?\"\n\n\"Um. Dancing-Ballet. Ten years, until I was fifteen. Basketball. Tennis. yoga\" Kalinda said, \"I was a lonely child\"\n\n\"mmhmm. And what are your powers?\"\n\n\"Flight, Telekinesis, emotional control, and healing abilities\" kalinda recited, \"and Shadow control, which you have already seen\"\n\n\"An interesting combination, really. Small body, build, a somewhat natural flexibility, then add some of your powers...well, you can go far, Kalinda-correct?\"\n\ncorrect what? then she realised. Her name. Kalinda nodded, \"Yes\"\n\n\"Well, I'd say you need to work a bit on a few things, and continue with this class, and you might just be deadly\" and with that, Romanova left her.\n\nKalinda joined the watching students, thinking, and when the class was over, she headed out, deep in thought.\n\nif a superhero thought she had potential, then maybe she did.

She changed, and strapped her guitar to her back, before heading back to the cafeteria.

Trapped, forced beyond their will, actually fun? She needed to know if there were people like her.

The ball hit the ground, and an explosion, equivalent of a small grenade. A nearby trashcan flew away from its place, and so did a few of the slower students who couldn't run away in time. Though they were alive and stood up, they were dazed and rubbing their eyes in what seemed like temporary blindness.\n\nGretchen, perched high above the Academy, grinned at her new skill: essentially, a flashbang grenade.\n\n*\"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAH!\"*She was cackling away in laughter as the crowd below yelled at her, slipping in a few curse words at her assault, her laughter probably heard from a good way's yonder.\n\nShe was excited to see what else she could do, but she realized she was up here for a longer time than she thought, as a herd of people started leaving their classrooms; class was over. She ran down along the walls of the building, back into the halls, and found one of her classmates just standing there, a girl shorter than her by roughly 2 inches, black skin and dark hair, with a guy next to her, his identity also unknown.\n\nShe ran around them in a circle, trapping them in a ring of light, the brightness a blinding intensity, just before she stopped right in front of them.\n\n\"Hi!

It of course is not the perfect selection but I know it is what is true to me.\"\n\nClearing her throat Nacelle stands pridefully with the voice of a queen accompanying her words. \"First of all, I believe in a team of great power, but I also believe in a team that stands by the gracious term of brains over brawn, with that I can assure the smarts of my team in a situation, and know that they will not simply charge. As an American idol known as Elvis once said; 'fools rush in'.\"\n\n\"Another quality is of course, the ability to work as a team.

The idea of suits are favored for me, they will protect you from unnecessary harm for a long while and in the end are modified to the point of being weapons by themselves.\" With a queenly elegance she directed attention to the son of Tony Stark.\n\n\"Next up is a girl only known as Kalinda, she is a very important role in the group. Mental abilities, and being able to fight in shadows, makes her near impossible to defeat. It is a necessity to have someone I can trust as well. She is one of those people.\" A spark of lightning and slight wonder flashed through her eye as she mentioned Kalinda.\n\n\"Now we are at my fourth teammate; Eldkatla. She is as far as whispers go, an Asgardian. which makes her powerful. Though I don't know who her parents are I perceive they are from a higher family.. no matter the role of these parents.

It is true that my opinion of him is like that of a scale, continuously tipping at every point.\" Nacelle nodded towards him officially, her smile registered into a small. innocent smirk.\n\n\"Now we move onto who I would choose as a leader of this grateful team. My first pick, would be to just choose a muscle man, or someone that is a friend as everyone else has. But, no, I want someone that is not my personal friend, that is more then a muscular man or woman that may or may not lead well in one, simulated battle. This is where factual options come into play. I would suggest that our leader would be one who was reliable, calm, simple. But all in all, what they have to have, is the ability to choose life or death. To not be vengeful just because and to not be merciful because it is right. That is why I would choose, Eldkatla.

First and foremost, John. But, though he is tough and has a healing factor, he is not smart.

Nacelle because you can't escape the weather and I know the power of a littler thunder. Ryan is an obvious choice for his speed, valuable in attack and scouting. Finally, Kijani. Not a common power and it's always good to surprise an enemy, stop them from getting comfortable.\n\n\"If I had to designate a leader, I too would choose John. I have known him longer than anyone here, so if I had to trust someone enough to lead a team, it would be him.\n\n\"And finally, the most dangerous.\" She sighed before turning to Mimic. \"This is such a vague question, by the way. A danger to me? A danger to themselves? A danger to the world?\" She didn't wait for any sort of reply however and turned back to the class. \"I chose Anthony, Devika and Kalinda, and all for the same reason.

I would choose Connor because I know he would never betray the team, and he would constantly have our back. He would be able to provide needed support for the team, in many different aspects. I would choose Kijani, due to her diversity in her abilities. The reach is nearly endless in what she can do. Kalinda, for the variety of her powers as well.
