"Why are you two wearing so many rope necklaces with those things Rossi collects?'' Ikaris asked.
"Well, umm...'' Rossi began.
"They're called crystals,'' Druig interrupted.
"Okay,'' Ikaris said.
"And there are many types, Rossi has even managed to give all of meanings, like tree agate is the stone of peace & abundance, tigers eye is the stone of determination & transformation, seems like one you should keep with you so you can transform yourself into a nicer person,'' Druig said.
Rossi tried to hide her smile.
"But they are just rocks, how could they help?" Ikaris asked.
"I just said Rossi gave them meanings, you seem always underestimate her, just because you can shoot laser out of your eyes,'' Druig said stepping to him.
"Well it's more helpful in a fight,'' Ikaris said.
"Druig, it's fine,'' Rossi said quietly.
"It's not, he acts like the golden child all the time, he couldn't stand the thought of someone being more powerful,'' Druig said looking at Ikaris.
"Druig, shut up,'' Rossi said making him look at him.
He turned to her and saw her actually being serious.
"Fine,'' Druig said under his breath before he walked away.
"Just let him go,'' Ikaris said.
"What is this about anyways?'' Rossi asked.
"It's just a check in, see if anyone has seen any deviants and hasn't bothered to tell anyone else, I'm assuming Druig has fought some and hasn't told anyone,'' Ikaris said.
"He would of told someone,'' Rossi mentioned.
"Who? You?'' Sprite scoffed.
"Maybe, definitely not you,'' Rossi said.
"Go back to obsessing over flowers and rocks,'' Sprite said.
Yellows wisps left Rossi's hand which made the air push Sprite over.
"Sorry,'' Rossi said before she left.

"Druig?'' Rossi called out, she walked around checking each of the rooms. "Druig?'' She called out again. She then saw people walking around with their eyes gold. She knew what Druig had done. "Druig!'' She then shouted.
"You left too?'' Druig asked.
"Why are you controlling these people?'' Rossi asked.
"I have had this thought for a while, the world would be better if we controlled them, no more wars or anything bad, we could do it together,'' Druig said.
"Let's just have that dinner we were talking about, remember yesterday we said we were gonna have that dinner, you cook, I decorate,'' Rossi said.
"What do you think of the plan?'' Druig asked.
"It's different, let's just talk about it after the humans have evolved more, now come on, dinner,'' Rossi said.
"You don't like it?'' Druig asked.
"I'm sorry,'' Rossi said.
"It's okay, let's have dinner,'' Druig said smiling.

They had set up a little table and chairs on a large flat rock just outside the city. Rossi had set flowers around the table. Druig had brought beef along with some fruit.
"This is really good, Druig,'' Rossi said eating the food.
"Turns out being the one in the team no one likes gives you a lot of free time,'' Druig said.
"It's just Ikaris and Sprite who don't like you, everyone else is fine, Ikaris is only nice to Sersi and Sprite is just annoying to everyone,'' Rossi said.
"What happened after I left?'' Druig asked.
"I asked why we were meeting, Ikaris said it was to find out if there was any deviants that no one mentioned, Ikaris took the opportunity to insult you kinda, I defended you, Sprite was being annoying again, I may have used my powers to push sprite over, it felt good,'' Rossi smiled.
"Good to know when I'm not there, my spirit will be there,'' Druig smirked.
"You defended me with Ikaris,'' Rossi said as she cut a piece off of the beef and bit into it.
"Can't believe Ikaris had the nerve to say that about the crystals, plus even if they didn't help they look pretty,'' Druig said holding one of his five necklaces.
"I know right, stupid Ikaris,'' Rossi said.
"Stupid Ikaris,'' Druig repeated.
They both looked at each other and started to laugh.
"It's so nice having someone to talk to about the others, like we are the outsiders looking in on them,'' Rossi said.
"Cause they don't like the fact we are the ones with useful powers,'' Druig said.
"Well, Thena is pretty handy, Makkari too, after fights Ajack is like the best,'' Rossi said.
"So pretty much we don't need half of them,'' Druig said.
"I just said who has the best powers, not who is the ones that we need,'' Rossi said.
"Fair, fair,'' Druig said.
They talked for hours after their meal, they even went back to Rossi's room to make the flower crowns like she had promised Druig before. That entire time all Rossi could think about is what if she was right about Druig.
