Are They All In Danger?

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Alex frowned as he felt his father's anger radiating through the telepathic connection. "I know, Father," he said. "But I couldn't lie to her. She's my friend."

"And now she knows who you are," Alex's father said, his voice dripping with venom. "You've put us all in danger."

Alex flinched. He knew that his father was right. But he also knew that he had made the right decision. He couldn't have lied to Haney. She was his friend, and she deserved to know the truth.

"I'll be careful, Father," Alex said. "I won't let her down."

Alex's father sighed. "I hope you're right," he said. "But you know how dangerous the rogue Celestial Guardians are. If they find out that you've told someone your secret..."

Alex didn't need to hear the rest. He knew what his father was saying. If the rogue Celestial Guardians found out about Haney, they would use her to get to him.

Alex closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He needed to come up with a plan to protect Haney.

"I'll be careful," Alex said again. "I promise."

Alex's father nodded. "I'm holding you to that," he said.

The telepathic connection closed, and Alex was left alone in his room. He paced back and forth, his mind racing. How could he protect Haney?

Alex knew that he couldn't keep her in the dark any longer. He needed to tell her everything about the rogue Celestial Guardians and the danger that she was in. But he also knew that she would be scared.

Alex took a deep breath and sat down on his bed. He needed to think this through carefully.

Alex decided that the best thing to do was to tell Haney everything. He knew that it would be a risk, but he couldn't keep her in the dark any longer. He needed her to be prepared for the danger that she was in.

Alex took a deep breath and stood up. He walked to his door and opened it. He took one last look at his room, then he stepped out into the hallway.

Alex made his way to Haney's room. He knocked on the door, and then he waited.

A few moments later, the door opened and Haney appeared. She was wearing a pair of pajamas and her hair was in a messy bun.

"Alex?" she said, her eyes widening in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

This time, Haney knew well his true identity.

"I need to talk to you," Alex said. "It's important."

Haney nodded and stepped aside to let Alex in. Alex walked into the room and Haney closed the door behind him.

"What's wrong?" Haney asked.

Alex took a deep breath. "I need to tell you something," he said. "Something big."

Haney sat down on her bed and looked at Alex expectantly. "What is it?" she asked again.

Alex and Haney spent the next few days preparing for their mission to stop the rogue Celestial Guardians. They studied the rogue Guardians' tactics and developed a plan to counter them.

Alex also taught Haney how to use some of his Celestial Guardian powers. He showed her how to create a force field, teleport, and use telekinesis. Haney's power was a replica of Alex's, granted to her by a sleek, smartwatch-like device. As long as she wore it, she could wield the same Celestial Guardian powers as Alex.

Haney was a quick learner, and she soon mastered the basics of Celestial Guardian powers. She was eager to help Alex, and she was determined to protect humanity from the rogue Guardians.

One day, Alex received a message from his father. The rogue Guardians were planning to attack a nearby city, and Alex's father needed him to stop them.

Alex knew that this was his chance to prove himself. He had been training for this moment his entire life.

Alex and Haney teleported to the city just as the rogue Guardians were launching their attack. The rogue Guardians were more powerful than Alex had anticipated, but he was determined to defeat them.

Alex and Haney fought side by side, using their powers to protect the innocent and defeat the rogue Guardians. Alex used his force field to protect himself and Haney from the rogue Guardians' attacks. He used his teleportation to move around the battlefield and flank the rogue Guardians. And he used his telekinesis to hurl objects at the rogue Guardians and knock them off their feet.

Haney used her newfound Celestial Guardian powers to help Alex fight the rogue Guardians. She used her force field to protect the innocent civilians from harm. She used her teleportation to move herself and Alex to safety when they were in danger. And she used her telekinesis to disarm the rogue Guardians and knock their weapons out of their hands.

Alex and Haney fought valiantly, but the rogue Guardians were relentless. Just when it seemed like Alex and Haney were about to be defeated, Alex's father and the other Celestial Guardians arrived.

The Celestial Guardians joined the battle, and the tide of the battle turned. With the help of the other Celestial Guardians, Alex and Haney were able to defeat the rogue Guardians and save the city.

Alex and Haney were hailed as heroes, and their story was soon known all over the world. Alex had finally proven himself to be a worthy Celestial Guardian.

Mr. Gab Ash stormed into Alex's room, his face red with anger. "You did not just reveal yourself to that Haney girl," he thundered. "You also let her use our developed device, a replica of the Celestial Guardians' power."

Alex stood up, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew he had made a mistake, but he couldn't help but defend Haney. "She's my friend," he said. "I needed her help."

Mr. Ash scoffed. "Your friend? She's a liability. Now the rogue Celestial Guardians know that we have a device that can replicate their powers. They'll stop at nothing to get their hands on it."

Alex clenched his fists. "I won't let them," he said. "I'll protect Haney and the device."

Mr. Ash shook his head. "You're too naive, Alex. You don't understand the power you're dealing with. The rogue Celestial Guardians are ruthless. They'll kill anyone who gets in their way."

Alex took a deep breath. "I know," he said. "But I'm not going to back down. I'm a Celestial Guardian, and it's my duty to protect the innocent."

Mr. Ash sighed. "Very well," he said. "But I'm warning you, Alex. If anything happens to Haney, or to the device, it will be on your head."

With that, Mr. Ash turned and walked out of the room.

Alex closed the door behind him and leaned against it, his mind racing. He knew that he had put Haney in danger, but he didn't regret his decision. He couldn't have defeated the rogue Celestial Guardians without her help.

But now the rogue Guardians knew about Haney and the device. They would stop at nothing to get their hands on it.

Alex knew that he had to protect Haney and the device at all costs. He had to find a way to stay one step ahead of the rogue Guardians.

Alex took a deep breath and squared his shoulders. He couldn't let down his father or the other Celestial Guardians. He had to protect the innocent and defeat the rogue Guardians, no matter the cost.
