Mari had been sitting on the floor of her classroom for the past hour with her palms firmly pressed against her ears, her eyes closed. It wasn't helping. Nothing that she did could help. She was hearing everything for miles, actual sounds, alarms, voices, thoughts, powers going crazy. EVERYTHING. The last thing she remembered before this most recent attack was just standing in front of her desk as an array of paperclips and staplers decided to fly at her. Good thing she pushed them away, though the force of her push was stronger than she had intended. She was about to pick up the pile on the floor when it had started.

It felt like so long before she could actually remove her palms, which didn't actually do much to cover up the sounds. That was when she noticed how all the paperclips were just hovering in the air in front of her, reacting accordingly to her magnetic field that she had absolutely no control over. Mari watched the paperclips but was too afraid to touch them this time. She could look deep into them and understood their structure. She could analyze them thoroughly, every single molecule. And then, something crazy started to happen. She lifted her fingers, and it was as if tiny bolts of electricity were shooting out at the paperclips from her fingertips. Mari gasped. That was new.

She stood up quickly, and all the paperclips fell to the ground. "Madre de Dios," she whispered to herself. Her eyes were watery from how much they stung, and her skin felt like it was on fire. If anyone should touch her at the moment, it was quite likely that she would scream. This had happened to her before. Her powers had gone haywire, and she had somehow managed to contain them. Not this time though. This time it felt nearly impossible to hold in all the energy from all the different powers inside of her.
