Limits
Manuel was in the process of teleporting when he died. (Into the Wild, Part 3). Differently from Rachel, Manuel simply fades when teleporting.
Rachel Mills has demonstrated the capability of quickly teleporting in order to escape from dangerous situations. When she teleports, she glows, and then disappears. (The Recruit, Part 1) Rachel has also shown she is capable of accessing her ability unconsciously, as she teleported herself out of bed and onto the floor of her room at the end of a nightmare. (Chapter 2 of The Agent) Thus far, she has only shown capability of teleporting small distances, about a few dozen feet. However, she is capable of teleporting vertically in addition to horizontally, such as onto the roof of an apartment building. (Chapter 3 of The Agent)
In Hanging By a Thread, she uses Teleportation a few times to escape from a locked room in a tall building by falling and then teleporting until she got to the bottom. This would imply that it is short range teleportation only but it is possible she's just getting a hold of her power because she didn't use it quite often.
