The Avatar Wings

Self Identity

Bloom was acting unusually. Korra noticed the Redhead fairy's gloominess. They just got back from a two-week break. "What's wrong, Bloom?” Musa asked, her eyebrows frowned. Bloom glanced up, “Oh, nothing.” The whole group, even without Kaiyo’s aura power, knew that was a lie. “You sure?” Wan questioned

“Just I don’t know, I just.” Bloom flopped on the bed, gazing at the wall above her. 

"What's up?" Stella was puzzled, and so was Korra. 

"Do you ever feel like you don't know where you belong?" Bloom questioned before she sat up, "I always thought I knew, but then something happened over spring break while I was home, and now I feel all turned around. I’m sorry, I'm really out of it.” 

“Don’t be.” Tecna reassured, “Yeah, your Aura has been pretty grey lately.” Kaiyo pointed out. This comment earned her a slightly disapproving glance from Wan. Bloom picked up Kikko and hugged him as she gazed sadly at Kaiyo. “Yeah, I guess you can say that.”

“So what happened when you were on earth?” Korra rubbed Bloom’s back, consoling the other fairy. “I found out I’m adopted.” Bloom whispered, “And I don’t know where I’m from or who I am. My parents wanted to tell me when I was ready, and they were very kind, but why did my birth parents leave me? I want to know why or how. I was found in the middle of a fire in a house, and my dad saved me. I am probably not even from Earth ." Bloom began to ramble about the possibilities. The girl is having an identity crisis, from what Wan could tell. 

“Woah, slow down.” Wan said, “First off, there is nothing wrong with being adopted.”

“Your parents sound like great people.” Flora went on Bloom’s right side. “Yeah, really great people.” Musa chimed in. "I just don't know where I come from.” Bloom's voice shook.

“You want to know your birthplace and parents, huh?” Stella asked to which Bloom nodded. 

“You know, not to be that person, but you might never find out,” Kaiyo said quietly.

“I know, but that doesn’t stop me from trying?”

“Most likely not, but whatever you want to do. I mean, you've been living as an earth girl, and then you found out you’re a fairy, then to top it off being adopted and not even from earth? It gotta be an identity shock.”

“I want to find out. Where did I come from? What world? What part of the universe? I have to find out about my origins. So, will you help me?” Bloom held her hands close to her heart. The other Winx stands up and forms a circle around her. 

“Of course, we’ll help. Besides, we’re here for you,” Wan said. Korra nods. She holds Bloom's hand, “Yep. We’re all here for you.” 

 “ I'll help you, Bloom. Sticking my nose in other people's business is my favorite pastime." Stella winked. Korra rolled her eyes, “Yeah, that sounds about right.” 

“I’m down!” Kaiyo raised her hands. 

"You can count me in too." Musa smiles.

"I’m in, too,” Flora added.

"Sign me up." Tecna agreed. 

    “We are the Winx, after all.” Musa held her hand out; soon, the rest followed, “Winx Club!” The group hugs bloom tightly.

    The Winx sat waiting in the assembly hall along with first-year fairies. Bloom finished her test with relative ease. Faragonda called up Wan; next, he stood up, transforming into his fairy form.
