Nathanile turned his attention to the next man, Diego as he began his own display.  Of course the warning that he gave before he started.  Ok, why would you need to make a warning like that?  And why would it be fine when the temperature returns to normal?  Did his power somehow control the weather, the environment, or the temperature in the immediate area?  But then if that was true, why would he ask everyone else to close their eyes for fear of nightmares?<br/><br/>No, Nathaniel didn't close his eyes.  Whatever nightmares he was going to prompt couldn't be any worse than the ones Nathaniel already had from watching his powers fully released, the people in the room at that time had just been vaporized, he thinks, and then the building being destroyed.  Not even a moment later though the temperature began to drop around the room, but it didn't appear that Diego was doing anything.  The temperature severely dropped actually becoming frigid, and Nathaniel could see his own breath  a little.  Then the lights started to flicker and throw the whole room into darkness.  “What the hell?!”  Nate mutter for a moment before he started to see the reactions to something.<br/><br/>It didn't take long for him to find out what as he felt something from his crystals, something was touching them, and the crystals were... attempting to scan and fine a form of energy that would affect it.  Though he wasn't able to focus on that as the shadowy thing that appeared with each tap on the crystals.  The thing was, well, just plain creepy, it's sudden appearance made Nathaniel jump and jerk back.  His heartrate picked up immediately at the sight of the thing, and he couldn't help but feal fear at the thing, but after that first startled moment his face turned to a glare at the creature before it moved off for the others.  He made sure to flip it off the last time it flashed into his sight.  As it left, Nathaniel was sure to let out one of his 'radar' pulses to see if it could detect whatever that 'thing' was.  As the invisible pulse radiated out through the room, he saw where it was heading.<br/><br/>Yes, it picked up the thing as well as showing the energy aura's around everyone else.  The thing was an obvious distortion in the air, like what you saw hovering over a road on a hot day, or the horizon during the mid day in the desert.  He let out a couple more pulses to track the ting seeing where it was heading, but he also got a look at everyone's auras that hung off them.  Helga's seemed to me one of the most prominent, he wasn't exactly sure what that meant, but ISIS had said he and her seemed to have the most power.  Maybe that was it.  But all the humans in the room had a light blueish aura tinted with other colors to make each one individual, but Jenny's like he had said earlier was a very obvious light blue mixed with deep purple, looking weird.  And the shape changer, Mimi's was, well, ambiguous, he couldn't really tell what color it was.  After seeing them all, he didn't know how, but he knew he would always be able to recognize each individual person again in an instant.  He stopped focusing on their aura's though when he saw the effects of the thing on the others.<br/><br/>It then moved on to Sarah he could tell by her reaction as well.  But the most startling reaction he noticed was from the purple cat girl.  He watched as she changed so unexpectedly, the fur spread from her body.  She started to look more like a wild animal, or a beast at that moment, especially when it looked like something 'petted' her the wrong way.  The reaction she had was completely overboard and made Nathaniel actually fear something again, but this time fear for what Mimi would do to others.  Especially at her growling, tiger-like words that were barely recognizable.  This was not the big pussycat that she had been acting like up until now.  She was now like a dangerous animal.  At ehr words, Nathaniel's instinctual reaction caused him to gather energy into his palm again, ready to throw, though he made sure to make it much smaller than what he had used during his demonstration.  It was ready.<br/><br/>As soon as he saw Mimi launch herself at where the thing was, he saw where she was also heading, and that it was a strait line for trenchcoat girl.  Nathaniel's arm raised up instantly to try hitting the cat girl before she would land a strike, hoping he could aim and fire fast enough.  He was an instant away from releasing the blast when he watched Mimi and trenchcoat girl react.  In that last instant he closed his palm around the energy as he aimed his arm down at the floor before reabsorbing the energy painfully.  He saw Jenny jerk back away from the claws and turn from the claws, just barely dodging the large vicious claws.  The coat wasn't as lucky as he heard the ripping of the claws through the fabric.  Good reaction speed saved the girl's face.<br/><br/>He was stunned quiet when he the proof of her being the second of the group who had made alien contact became obvious.  The... tentacles came out through the tattered cloak and seemed to hover around the girl.  Then he heard her sobbing a bit when 2 of the tentacles seemed to wrap around her as if hugging the girl, the third he wasn't sure.  But hearing her sobbing Nathaniel just sighed a bit, and reached up to scratch the back of his head a little.  Great, a crying woman, he would have thought the ordinary girl would be the first one to break down.  Guess he was wrong.  But this wouldn't do, if she was falling apart then she would be a weak link in the team.<br/><br/>That was why he moved over to just within the obvious reach of the lookout tentacle before stopping.  Once there, Nathaniel held out and offered his right hand to help her up, the one with the crystals embedded in it.  After realizing he did he paused for a moment, thinking that maybe it wasn't a good idea, but she had said it was pretty, and it was his contact with aliens before meeting Mimi.  Maybe that would help.  “hey, it's alright.  She didn't mean to attack you.  Listen to her, and look at her, she is terribly sorry.”  as if to make sure he was right about what he said, he looked over and saw the horrified expression on Mimi's face, which again looked like a girl's instead of a beast's.  “she was trying to attack that thing that was scaring you....  it is gone now, tethered back to Diego.”  as he said that he let out another radar pulse, and confirmed what he said, the distortion was at Diego's back.  Nate glared at it for a moment and flipped it off again.  “come on, stand up and at least give us an an introduction now that we have seen the things that had you invited here.”  great, he was being nice, or trying, wasn't he supposed to try making them hate him?!  Shit, he couldn't resist trying to comfort a crying girl.  “your not the oddest looking aura here, I have no idea what these crystals are doing to me, the cracks in my arm weren't there the first time I woke up with them, at least not this bad.”<br/><br/>he paused, looking at the tentacles and tried to put on a slight smile.  “Just hope noone makes any tentacle hentai jokes.  I'm not sure if they will be all that funny with you around.”  well, there he goes failing at his desire to make everyone hate him...<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
