Fire to Fire

Mia's four in this story

When Kai, Lloyd and Nya came back from the mission, they found Jay yelling all over the monetary, panicking.

" Mia!" He yelled. " It isn't your fault!"

" What isn't her fault?" Kai asked stepping inside with the others.

Jay sighed and turned. " Mia... Well, you know how we found out she could control lightning when she was two, but we found out she can control fire yesterday?"

They nodded.

" Well.... Today she was trying to train with it and ... Accidentally set the kitchen in fire."

Everyone stared.

" So that's why the house smells funny!" Lloyd said, coughing slightly.

Jay sighed and ran a hand through his hair.  " Now she's hidden somewhere and I can't find her."

" She was always a good hider." Kai reminded Jay, who shot him a look.

Nya walked to her Yang and took his hands. " We'll find her, Jay." She said gently. " But you have to stop panicking. It won't help."

Jay nodded slightly, and tried to take a deep breath.

Suddenly, a ball of pink ran into Jay's arms and nearly tackled him to the floor, screaming and crying.

" JAY, MAKE ME STOP!" she yelled, hugging Jay close as if he were the only person to protect her.

" Woah woah woah, Mia!," Jay said, bringing Mia to his leg and making her sit on them. " What do you mean, ' make it stop!'?"

" I can't control fire!" She wailed. " It'll make me all cocky and stuff!"

Lloyd and Nya bit their tounges to keep from laughing, while Jay and Kai looked absolutely bedwilled.

" Uh... Mia," Jay said, regaining his voice. " You.... You do know Kai's personality is cocky, not because he had fire?"

Mia wasn't listening. She was immersed in her own world.

A world where she brought only terror.

As Mia clung to Jay, trembling and tearful, the entire monastery seemed to hold its breath. Jay’s heart ached for his little sister, who was clearly overwhelmed by her newfound power. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, trying to offer comfort, but he could feel her small body shaking in fear and confusion.

Kai, standing nearby, exchanged a concerned glance with Lloyd and Nya. “Mia,” Kai began softly, kneeling down to her level, “I know it’s scary, but having fire powers doesn’t mean you’ll become cocky or bad.”

Mia shook her head vehemently, her face buried in Jay’s chest. “But what if it does?” she whimpered, her voice muffled. “I don’t want to hurt anyone… I don’t want to be dangerous.”

Jay stroked her hair gently, his heart breaking as he tried to find the right words. “Mia, you won’t hurt anyone. We’re here to help you learn how to control it, just like you learned to control lightning.”

Lloyd, who had been quiet until now, took a step closer. “Mia, you’re one of the kindest people I know. Just because you have fire powers doesn’t change who you are.”

Mia’s sobs quieted a bit, but she still clung tightly to Jay, her fear not entirely eased. “But I can’t stop it…” she whispered, her voice trembling. “What if I mess up again?”

Kai, who understood her fears better than anyone, reached out and gently placed a hand on her back. “It’s okay to be scared, Mia. I was too when I first got my powers. But you’re not alone. We’ll train together, and I’ll show you how to control it. You’re stronger than you think.”
