When they walked back into the lounge room they saw everyone lying on the couch in odd positions. Which made both Alex and Emma look at each other with an unconvinced grin.

"Oh hey welcome back!" A blonde girl greeted looking up from her magazine which was upside down. The boy with glasses next to her noticed and quickly switched it around.

"Hi?" Emma greeted with a smile. Everyone looked expectantly towards Alex and Emma.

"Oh right, introductions. Alright so, that's Raven, Hank, Darwin, Angel, and Sean. Everyone this is Emma, my best friend."He introduced nonchalantly and took his seat. Emma waved at the group with a nervous smile before taking the corner seat of the couch next to Raven.

"So are we just gonna ignore what happened between you guys?" Darwin asked looking between Alex and Emma with a smug smirk.

"Yes, yes we are." Alex stated before taking a sip of his cola.

"Oh! We should think of code names. We're government agents now. We should have secret code names." Raven suggested with an excited smile.

"I want to be called Mystique." She stated with a grin.

"Dang! I wanted to be called Mystique." Sean joked which prompted everyone to let out a laugh.

"Well, tough. I called it." Raven stated as she transformed into Sean.

"Woah!"
"Wow!"
"That's awesome!" Emma muttered as she looked at the girl well Sean who sat next to her.

"And I'm way more mysterious than you." Raven stated with a smug grin towards Sean before turning back into the blonde.

"Darwin, what about you?" Raven asked.

"Well, uh, Darwin's already a nickname, and you know, sort of fits. Adapt to survive and all. Check this out." Darwin rose from the couch and confidently walked towards the fish tank. He looked back at the group and smirked as he stuck his face into the fish take. The sides of his face turning into gills allowing him to breathe under water.

"Whoo!"
"Wow!"

"Thank you. Thank you." Darwin laughed as he walked towards the couch.

"What about you?" Darwin asked, pointing to Sean.

"I'm going to be...Banshee." He declared.

"Banshee?" Emma asked confused.

"Why do you want to be named after a wailing spirit?" Hank asked curiously.

"You might want to cover your ears." Sean suggested as he crouched in front of the coffee table. Everyone slowly covered their ears with their hands and they watched Sean line up the glass cups. He too a deep breath of air and let out an extremely loud whistle. Instead of the cups shattering, the large window shattered having glass fall everywhere.

"WOW"
"Woah!"

"Your turn." Sean stated, pointing to Emma.

"Me?" She asked slightly surprised.

"Yeah! Show us what you've got Emma!" Raven confirmed with a smile. Emma mumbled an "alrighty" before she got up off the couch and walked towards the kitchen. She picked up a glass and filled it with water. She glanced back at the group who were watching her intensely with curious smiles. She then took the glass of water and sat it down on the coffee table in between the couches. She slightly backed away from the glass and held out her hands. Not even a second later did a bubble of water float out of the glass. It swirled around in the air before forming into the shape of a fish. The fish floated through the air and all around the room. It went full circle around the room then went towards Alex and circled around his head before coming back towards Emma. It hovered right above the glass before Emma sent it an icy blast which completely froze the little water fish. It fell to the bottom of the glass with a clink. Emma then let out a breath that she hadn't known she was holding and glanced around the room. Everyone stared at her with their mouths agape as they looked from the now ice fish to Emma and back and forth.

A chorus of applause and cheers of amazement echoed through the room. Emma smiled brightly at the group and took a little bow before trudging back to her seat. She glanced at Alex who had a proud smile on his face.

"Wow! You're amazing!" Raven complemented making Emma blush of embarrassment at the praise she rarely ever receives.

"Woah! You are truly fascinating." Hank said with an amazed smile.

"So, Emma, what do you want your name to be?" Angel asked her.

"Oh, I'm not sure, I haven't really thought about it." She answered.

"What about Oceana?"
"What about Aqua?"
"What about Mera?"
"How about Crystal?"

There were many suggestions thrown around but the last one was the one that truly caught her attention. Now could it be because of the person who suggested it? Possibly BUT it could also be because she liked the ring of it.

"I think I like Crystal the best." She stated, glancing at Alex out of her peripheral vision. However, she unfortunately did not spot the small blush that dusted the boy's cheeks. Which he hid by taking another sip of his cola.

"I agree! I think it suits you." Raven said, hugging Emma's shoulders.

"Alright, now your turn." Emma declared as she pointed towards Angel.

"My, uh, stage name is Angel." She said causing of Sean to let out a whistle before she took off her leather jacket.

"Kind of fits." She held out her arms as irredentist wings sprouted out from her back.

"You can fly?" Raven asked as she stared at the wings.

"Uh-huh. And um..." she turned towards the shattered glass and spit a ball of acid towards the statue out on the lawn. It landed on the head of the statue, burning slightly through it.

"I'm turned on and disgusted." Darwin commented which earned even more laughter.

"Whats your name?" Angel asked Hank as she continued to sit down. Hank didn't even get to answer before Alex spoke up.

"How about Bigfoot?" Alex joked before taking another swig of his cola. Emma flicked him in the head at his ignorance which he swatted her hand away.

"Well, you know what they say about guys with big feet. And, uh, yours are kind of small." Raven stated as she defended Hank. A chorus of giggles and snickers erupted from the group. Emma tried her best to hold in her own laughter but failed miserably, letting out a giggle that Alex thought was beyond adorable. But of course, she couldn't know that so he just playfully glared at her and the rest of the group.

"Alex, what is your gift? What can you do?" Darwin asked. Alex looked down to the ground before speaking up.

"Uh, it's not, um...Um, I just can't do it. I can't do it in here." He stated remembering the dangers of his power, as he is gaze slightly turned to Emma who had an understanding but curious smile.

"Can you do it out there?"
"Why don't you just do it out there?"
"Come on."
"Come on!"
"Alex."
"Alex."
"Alex!"
"Alex!"
"Alex!"
"Alex!"
"Alex!"
"Alex!"

Alex glanced at everyone cheering, his eyes lingering on Emma. He let out an uneasy sigh as he stood up and walked outside through the broken window.

"All right!"
"That's the spirit!"

"Get down when I tell you." He said while he stepped over the shattered glass. He walked a little ways away from the window which was unfortunately out of sight for the rest of the group. The group huddled up and peered around the corner of the broken window in order to see Alex clearer.

"Get back." Alex said as he readied himself. The group moved out of the way before moving back to the window.

"Get back!" Alex demanded as he looked back at the group. But they stood still and didn't move.

"Whatever." He muttered. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists while bringing them to his side. He rocked his body around in a circular motion. Multiple large red rings of energy soared through the air going in every direction on the lawn creating small fires. One ring managed to cut the already damage statue I half and on fire.

"Whoa!" The group cheered as the watched Alex return to the room.

"Alright, let's get this party started!" Sean said as he cranked up the radio.
