<div class="floatleft">(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/Erion2451/Haley_Ramm_zpse2f7a826.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Jean Grey (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=200335.msg9786237#msg9786237)<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Marvel Girl<br/><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong>2/1<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Auditorium<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Casual suit and skirt combo<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 2nd, Early evening<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Mantis, Arthur, Scott, Dani, Kitty, Victor, Ri, Erik, Open<br/><hr/><br/>Jean heard and felt their responses in unison.  It was… overwhelming.  She should have known better than to listen so intently.  She didn’t blame any of them for their reactions; though, she was surprised by the open acceptance a few of her peers had.  She got what she needed, fearing she’d get too much, and then hastily replaced her mental barriers.  The noise faded to a quiet hum.<br/><br/>To any who were watching, she shuddered slightly, a look of fleeting pain flashed upon her face, and she exhaled shakily.  It passed within a moment and without the insight she’d just provided they could have thought she’d simply bitten her tongue.  Her arms crossed in front of her and she absently rubbed her arms through the cloth of her suit.<br/><br/>Scott’s and Arhtur’s thoughts had been reassuring.  Ri’Staraa’s had been surprising and insightful.  She wasn’t sure if she should be worried that the boy was so tactically minded or impressed.  Kitty’s had been natural and had escalated, like Jean had expected from everyone, but Arthur’s comment had shown how rational Kitty really was.  The girl was willing to trust her; they were all willing to trust her.  It was rather remarkable considering that she’d only known a good deal of them for more than a day.  Dani’s empathy was helpful.<br/><br/>Erik’s joke helped her smile before she wiped her eyes of unshed tears.  She had been so afraid to tell them all, and it seemed like that fear had been for naught.<strong>”I do the best I can to not invade anyone’s mind without permission,”</strong>she confessed to the shadow manipulator.<br/><br/>It wasn’t easy, but she managed.  Luckily no one appeared to be a walking car crash.  That would make things more difficult.<br/><br/>An appreciative smile was given to each of the individuals around her.  She would have given them all a hug except that her attention had been drawn to Victor and Dani.  She watched as Victor moved closer, and his rage bled through her mental filters to the point where her heart raced and her breath quickened.<br/><br/>The tension in the entire room became intense and threaded to topple her previously constructed barriers.  A redheaded S.H.I.E.L.D. agent began to approach the group, while another agent simply fit an arrow to his bow.  It all was happening so quickly, and then Victor stepped away from Dani.  Just as sudden the tension returned to normal, the redhead smiled at a faculty member and fell into a natural seeming conversation and the archer removed his arrow, though both seemed to keep a closer eye on the group.<br/><br/><em>”Thank you,”</em>her voice whispered in Arthur’s mind. He had given her permission after all.<em>”I don’t think you realize how much your words helped the others.  There’s no need to keep it a secret, unless you’re going to tell me something you don’t want people to know.”</em>
