     Watching him walk to the back, I can see him go pale at something. I get a text from Techno.

     "Where are you?? Dad's on my case because you went out! Jerk."

    "I'm just at the cafe geez" I reply, "Tommy is working and I wanted to watch him for a bit. Tell dad I'll be home in 20!"

     I turn off my phone, ignoring whatever response I get. Techno doesn't particularly agree with our idea for Tommy. Dad wants a new kid and a recruit anyway. Techno and I got adopted at 10 and 12. He was always strong,but when dad and him started training there was no way I would surpass him in that regard. I was the one who had powers, on the other hand. We like to call it 'Siren's song'. Pretty cliche, but it does match the way it works pretty well, and is what gave me my alias. I can manipulate people with my voice, to a certain level. My suit has an amplifier to help me use it too. Dad's got jet black wings. He and mom used to train me a lot, especially when Techno was busy reading. Techno was dad's favorite, I was mom's.

    Ever since she died, we've been incomplete. Like a puzzle with a missing section. Tommy can replace the missing piece, he's a bit like all of us. His powers are almost identical to dad's too, so he'll be easy to train. Though his whole vigilante thing might prove problematic though. He's no "hero", but he's not like us either.
