Carmen sees the man appear and furrows her brow. She's confused by how to describe how he did it. Shimmer? Materialize from thin air? Since becoming Sky Spear, she had been forced to accept just how much of the world is unknown.

No one could explain how she and others got their powers. No one could begin to explain the mysterious voices they all heard during their dying moments. No one could explain how they could control fire, water, earth, air, shadows, or light. It just simply was. As much as they all wanted their questions answered, none of them could afford to dwell on them all the time. Other things had to be prioritized. Monsters needed to be slayed and as long as they had these extraordinary gifts, they all wanted to put them to good use.

Carmen had been a superhero long enough to have met plenty of villains. She liked to think that she had been careful with her secret identity to avoid those villains from coming after her friends and family. This blunt question the man asks puts her on guard. She needed to know what his real intentions are.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Carmen asked as she tilted her head to reinforce the look of confused teenager.

Maybe this was somehow a misunderstand and he wasn't asking what Carmen thinks he's asking. Maybe if she played dumb she would get a better understanding of him.
