We're different
But that doesn't stop us

[September]
"Thomas!"
"Yes?"
I shove a girl forward, "She wants to join."
The girl waves, "My name is Lite."
Thomas looks like he is in deep thought, but before I can say anything, he looks directly at me.
"She's good"
I nod, but Lite doesn't look satisfied.
Lite looks at Thomas, "What do you mean I'm good?"
He teleports onto the ceiling. "I looked in your head. You're good, even though you are the daughter of Lash."
Lite looks taken back by the name Lash, but doesn't say anything.
I motion her to come with me. We walk upstairs and stop at a door. I turn to her. "This is your room." She starts to open the door, and I grab her shoulder. "Lite."
"Yes?" She looks confused.
I smile, "Welcome to the Protectors."

"Alice, why are you doing this?"
"YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME!!"
I dodge her punch. "What are you talking about?"
She fumes before saying, "You know very d*** well what I am talking about."
"I know, but it's pointless to fight!"
"I DONT CARE. YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME AND YOU WILL PAY."
Before she can attempt another hit, a speedster we just recruited by the name of Josh comes speeding in. "What's going on here?" he asks.
Alice turns to face him before storming away, red at the face. She looks back and glares at me. "You haven't seen the end of this, Atlas."
I stand there for a bit, bleeding and confused, before I center chi and heal myself. Turning around, I walk back inside the mansion, leaving Josh even more confused.

But we can love and feel.

[December]
Alice sits on the hotel bed, furious at Thomas for putting this upon her. <D*** YOU THOMAS>
Thomas telepathically responds with <just do it>
Josh looks over at Alice. "So, what are we going to do?"
Alice turns to him, her face very red. "You can do what you want, I'm going to bed." She crawls under the covers, silently cursing Thomas.
Josh looks pretty confused, but he silently crawls under the covers too, causing Alice to look at him in surprise.
After a few silent minutes, she asks, "Josh, how do you feel about me?"
They turn and face each other, still in the bed. Josh looks her straight in the eyes and replies, "My heart can't handle being away from you. You perk me up whenever I'm around you. So, Alice Wilson, I guess it's safe to say I love you."
Alice smiles, her face turning even more red. "I love you too," she whispers.
Josh pulls her close, and they fall asleep, the only sounds being their breathing and the wind.

We are the Protectors.
