What: Mina decides to see what she can do with her Chaos Emerald. Then it’s food time for recharging!
Warnings: ?

Training Gym

Mina knew she had to do this now. She only knew how to do a handful of things with her power, but with the Chaos Emerald, she knew she could do so much more. Granted, there was the fear of losing herself to that power, be like those like Kolokifi, who lost herself and went mad. Or even Mammoth Mogul…

No, she couldn’t let that worry her. She had to do this, to grow. So that Najaran wouldn’t freak out because she got hurt.

Having brought her Chaos Emerald and the Sword of Acorns to the training gym, she sat down, holding her robotic arm out to let the gem hover in her hand.

“You’re so powerful. You can do so much.” Mina said, speaking to the gem. Yeah, it sounded silly, but she figured it could hear her. “Let me figure out how you work. How my powers work.”

There was a brief quiet before she uttered. “Okaaay, what do I do now? Just… concentrate?”

She closed her eyes and focused on the gem and it’s power before she started to realize she was now hovering. “YOW!”

Kitchen

A few hours had passed and Mina finally exited the gym. Her hair was frazzled, her clothes burnt and torn, and a general feeling of exhaustion was plastered on her face. The poor Mobian had a lot of failures on her using her power and now she just wanted to relax and get something in her stomach.

She wandered into the kitchen and began exploring the shelves. There was a little sigh as she did - she wished she had those meat buns like on that snow world…

Nell looked up in surprise from what she was cooking as Mina came in. "What happened to you?"

Mina coughed as she grinned sheepishly at Nell. "Training to use new powers. It turned... explosively."

"I can see that." Nell looked at her, barely refraining from clucking her tongue like Sister Erasmus. "Can I find you something to eat? I was making some stew here."

"I'm sorry." Mina said, like she was being scolded by her own mom. "But, yeah, I could go for some..."

Nell nodded. "Why don't you wash up a little and I'll dish you out some stew. Would you like some fresh rolls as well? They work well in sopping up the juices."

"Please? That would be great...!" Mina replied. Knowing it would be a hassle to head for the spa car to clean up just to eat, Mina opted to just use a nearby sink, at least getting her hands and face cleaned off, using her fingers to comb down her hair a bit.

Nell ladeled some stew into a large bowl, collected a napkin, spoon, and knife and set them onto a table before returning to get a small plate with rolls and some butter. After a moment's thought she dished herself out some soup and brought over more silverware and two small plates. Might as well eat herself.

"Come on now, get yourself on the outside of some of this and you'll feel better."

Mina nodded and headed for where her food waited before her, hopping up on a chair and sitting down.

"Thank you so much! My name's Mina, by the way." she said before taking a taste of the soup. "Oh, this is good!"

"It's nice to meet you, Mina," she said. "I'm Nell. Nell Ingram. I hope you don't mind if I join you for a bite."

"Not at all! I have to admit, though, it's still strange being alongside humans." she admitted. "I'm more used to my own kind."

"Until I got here I'd really never been around anyone who wasn't human," Nell admitted. "Never even knew there were any 'cept for vampires and werewolves, you know."

"I must admit, the ones I met have been real kind. You, Najaran, Romeo... well, there was that one guy... Seto? But, I understand he's kinda-sorta like that." Mina said. "Though, you met vampires and werewolves?"

"Most people do seem to be awfully nice," Nell agreed. "And no, gosh, I never met any vampires or werewolves, but everyone knows about them."

She thought for a moment. "I'm not sure I'd necessarily want to meet any of them."

"Honestly, I agree with that." Mina admits. "Could be some nice ones, but most of them want you as a meal."

After taking some more bites of her meal, she had to ask. "Are you the cook here or were you making something on your own?"

Nell couldn't help a little shudder at that thought.

She smiled at Mina. "Cooking's not my chore this month, but I like it, so I make things here and there as the mood takes me."

"Oh, I see! Sorry for assuming!" she replied, blushing underneath her fur. These people were so kind, it was so hard for her to keep her guard up.

"No need for apologies," Nell said easily. "You asked and I answered. It's not your fault I like to cook!"

Mina nodded at that, looking down bashfully. After another bite, she asked another question. "Is there anything else you like to do?"

"Oh sure," Nell said. "I spend a lot of time growing things and I love to read."

She smiled at Mina. "What sorts of things do you'un like to do?"

“Me?” Mina echoed. “I like to sing. I hadn’t realized it until recently.”

"Singing? That's a wonderful hobby," Nell said cheerfully. "I sometimes would sing to myself back home."

“Oh, really?” Mina asked. “Y’know, if things had been different, I’d like to have sang for other people…”

"Maybe there could be a talent night here or something and you could sing then," Nell suggested.

“Oh, that sounds like a good idea!” Mina said, eyes lighting up at that.

"I wonder how you'd go about organizing something like that," Nell wondered.

“That’s a good question. Might have to ask around.”

"Well, in the meantime we can just enjoy each other's company. And if you want, maybe you can sing me a song later," Nell suggested.

Mina smiled at that nodding at Nell. “I like that idea. An easier one, too.”

With that, she got up to push her chair and food closer to Nell, then sitting back down beside her.

"You look like you're feeling a little better too," Nell said. "I'm glad for that. Would you like more to eat? There's plenty."

“That would be great!” Mina said. “Thank you so much.”

"Of course," Nell said with a smile and got up to get more stew and a few more rolls. "So, did you'un want to tell me about these powers of yours? You don't have to if you'un doesn't want to, but I've been told I'm a good listener.

Mina let out a soft sigh. It was still a rough subject, but it helped to talk about it.

“I was meant to be a trap.” Mina said. “My home was overran by a madman named Dr. Robotnik and I was trying to find my mother so we could escape. A mad wizard named Mammoth Mogul found me and granted me some of his magic, but he used too much in a panic. I was only supposed to get super speed, but I ended getting more…”

And she held out her hands, glowing green energy.

"Oh you poor dear," Nell said softly. She looked at Mina's glowing hands. "Is that painful? What does it do?"

“No, it doesn’t hurt.” Mina said, shaking her head. “What it does? Gosh, I don’t even know. It’s a strange energy called the Chaos Force. Most I can is just zap stuff…”

"Chaos... zapping things..." Nell shook her head. "I can see where that might cause troubles. Is that what you were working with that got you all rumpled up?"

"Yeah. A few people I knew back home could do a lot more with it and I wanted to see if I could." Mina admitted. "But the most I did was nuke my face..."

"Painful," Nell said. "I hesitate to say it, but practice makes perfect - if only you could find a way to practice without, um... nuking your face."
