Ask her if she's got any other questions that you might be able to answer.

If you tell them you don't know what your power is, they'll know that you don't know how to use it to fight -- and that might not be good.
I say you refuse to tell them for now what your power is, but don't let on that you don't know it either.
As for Iron Misha -- ask her if she really is the bulletproof vigilante people have been talking about, and ask her what a Texas gal is doing up here in _____.
Great, not only am I in a desperate pinch, but now the imaginary voices in my head are contradicting each other. I've got nothing better to do than comply with my own whimsy, so I might as well start this list of questions.
"Look, I like you. You seem like a neat broad an' all. But I've got no idea what your clients are expecting from me. I'm just a dishonest crook, skin flesh bone, all that jazz. There's nothing special about me!
I mean sure there's a chance that I just don't know about it, but you'd think I'd have noticed by now."
Misha doesn't even react. She just continues staring outside, waiting for something. I've got nothing left to try, so I resign myself to my fate.
"Can you at least tell me if this is going to be painful?"
Nothing. Although perhaps not knowing is for the best.
"I've heard rumours about a walking tank-like person showing up at crime scenes. That's you, right?"
She nods in response but still won't turn round. With nothing else to say, I close my eyes and wait for whatever was going to happen to happen.

I was left with no alternative but to ignore the man in the black suit. He didn't even think to give me his name, so he can just sit there until the group gets her.
Speaking of, I wonder what's keeping them. Not that I know who they are, they left that detail to the Voices. I sure hate being kept out of the loop, just causes too much annoyance.
I should probably recheck the plan just in case. Stop the cops chasing the black car, check. Infiltrate the heist and deal with the crooks. Capture the one in the brown trench coat, or was it an overcoat? He was the only one in brown so I got him. Better be him, I'm not taking out a police van for these guys. That's an extra thousand for sure.
Then go to the warehouse, wait for the Voices to make a list of current members of the Power Holders (Name pending my ass, it's a stupid name. At least they said the Voices were also giving a new name) who will show up eventually.
But not a peep out of those weird little voices. Getting a little impatient here.
Another 30 minutes and I'll ransack the place and leave. Yeah, sounds good.
