Hana walks into Michiko's kitchen; Nico looks around, "So, where's the lab?"

"If I remember correctly," Amy thought about it, "it should be…"

"Behind that wall." Hana points at the wall.

Michiko smiled and pushed open the wall as another room appeared. The room was small and clinically white with two slabs and a table with a bunch of chemicals in their own flasks, and a single microscope.

Nico looks at her sisters, "How'd you, guys, know that?"

Hana and Amy responded in unison, "Training."

"You learned that in training?!" Tina demanded, "I didn't."

"Well," Hana looks at her mother, "if you're training to be the next supreme, you kinda need to be trained in all aspects of magic and their history."

Leslie, Janet, and Stacey all looked at Hana with fear as Catherine sighed, "How do you do that?"

"Do what?" Hana is curious.

"That!" Dale points out, "How do you sound condescending yet sweet?"

"And how," Geoffrey asked, "is Tina not smacking you upside the head?"

Tina looked shocked, "Are you insane?! I smack Hana, and she smacks me right back."

Michiko glares at Hana, "You don't do that to your mother."

Hana smirks, "Oh, you don't know half of the things she's done to me."

Guita laughs, "Sabay lakad!"

"Siempre." Hana walks closer to the microscope. Then Hana looks through the microscope, "What the hell?"

"What?" Dale asks as he comes up behind Hana and looks through the microscope, "What is this?" Turning for Stacey to look, "It can't be organic,"

"I mean," Stacey stuttered as she stared at her husband, "this is the forties, so it's possible that we just never saw this element."

"No," Hana looks at Stacey and Dale, "I've researched this time period, and this thing has never once come up."

Guita looks through the microscope, "This isn't scientific— not all of it, at least. This compound is consists of scientifical elements and magical ones."

"You're kidding?" Hana looks at her friend, "Which one?"

"Ambrosia, magnolia," Guita sighs, "Carbon, and is that ember?"

"Uhuh," Michiko nods, "but it's almost out."

"Ember?" Robert asked, "As in fire?"

Michiko turns to Tina, "He's a little slow?"

Robert's jaw dropped that's when Tina defended him, "He's just clarifying because our eldest daughter, Hana's, power is of fire. She can create fire by pulling the heat out of the air and concentrating it to a desired spot."

"How?" Michiko questioned, "I thought pyrokinesis was a legend from the legendary place called, Ta Lo."

Tina smiles, "My husband is a descendant of Ta Lo."

"Yeehaw!" Michiko sarcastically said, "My granddaughter married a man from an unrealistic family tree."

Tina clenched her jaw in anger as a young man entered the kitchen. "Ms. Michiko didn't say she had," the man sighs, "visitors. My aren't you a hottie." he winks at Hana.

Hana rolls her eyes, "Michiko, who is this?"

"Hana," Michiko said, "this is Rento. Rento, my cousin Hana."

Rento then bites an apple while staring at Hana, "Tell me, what is a dame like you doing in this dump?"

"Working." Hana snaps, making Tina and Robert chuckle.

As Rento walks out, Hana shivers, "Ick!"

"Looks like," Guita looks at her friend, "someone's back to being the attractive one."

Alex smirked, "Hana, you okay?"

"Yeah," Hana nods, "just a very keso pickup line."

"Okay, and done!" Michiko exclaimed and gave a vile to Tina, "Drink this."

Tina looks at the vile suspiciously, "What is—"

"It will make the illness," Akari chimes in her little arms wrapped around Tina's leg, "go bye-bye."

"What?" Robert looked shocked as did everyone, "What illness?"
