[Speaking through gritted teeth, Mikoto is about to throw a vicious look Ares' way as she stands back up with Baroona's help, until she sees the other mercenaries look at her with eyes full of suspicion and fear as she lets the magnetized weapons drop harmlessly to the ground.
Her expression immediately drops as well. It'd been a few years now, but she never forgot that encounter she had wih Terra Branford's Esper form, and the havoc she was wreaking. The fear and slight disgust she herself felt, at witnessing such great powers be wielded with such reckless, brazen abandon.
...She was being no different, was she? These men were looking at her as if she were that very beast. While she knows Baroona is accepting of her abilities, there's a slight sting to the wary stares, and especially to the narrowing of Ares' eye before he finally heads out.
She's still unused to people fearing her powers; everyone wanted to be gifted back home. Even though she later befriended the girl, a part of Mikoto feared that she, too, would lose control like Terra did, and end up harming her friends.
Mikoto closes her eyes and sucks her teeth indignantly before looking at Baroona.
She's still frazzled, but there's a hint of uncertainty in her eyes as she crosses her arms.]
Well, you know me. Though, you could've just, like, met up with me or something.
[A beat, and she looks around at the rather intimidating scenery of the training grounds. She takes a small breath.]
So this is your world, huh? [A small, slightly half-hearted laugh.] Guess karma really knows how to get even.
