The guardian

Different

Sorry for not updating yesterday, guys, but here's the chapter.

When she got into the bakery, LingLing greeted her, "Everyones back to normal, now. Thanks for your help." "You're welcome," Rose grinned, "Alright everyone, you can take some goods from the bakery, I'll pay. Then we will all go back to the gate together. I have knowledge that Maggie got her powers with help from someone. I don't know if this person gave other villains their powers back. In any case it's too dangerous for you here." The Regal Academy students nodded and quickly chose from the baked goods. She suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to face Travis and the purple-haired girl. "Hey, Rose, do you already have a suspect?" Travis asked. Before she could answer, the unprofessional hero stormed into the bakery, grabbed Rose by the arm and pulled her out on the streets. "First I don't need to write things down, because I have an awesome memory..." Hawk started, but Rose cut in, "Or because you literally deal with maybe one, two villains a week, while I deal with three to four villains a day." Hawk gritted, "It's more than one, two villains a week." "No, it's not. I talk to Travis and keep count." That's when the bakery door opened.

Travis was the first out the door and was relieved that Hawk and Rose hadn't pulled out their wands yet. He always knew Hawk and Rose wouldn't get along. Rose hated popular guys, even ones from Earth. She thought they were stuck up and braggy. She also didn't like people from Fairytale world very much. She had been a bit nasty to him at the beginning too. She just hated the fact, that the Fairytale world had dumped their villains in her world and pretended that it wasn't their problem anymore. Travis had to admit from her perspective, that was an asshole move. Hawk was literally the popular, celebrity guy from the Fairytale world, who couldn't really handle orders or criticism from other students, not to mention an Earth girl. But Rose could bark orders, banter and she had a sarcasm with a certain bite to it. Hawk was anything but prepared to meet her. Zero to one for Rose.

Rose quickly left enough money on the counter for the goods, then put up the closed sign. She didn't want anyone to see Maggie tied up by a pumpkin. Then she lead the Regal Academy students to the gate, since Travis didn't recognize this part of town. She made the front of the group, pushing her motorcycle. LingLing and Travis walked next to her. "So as I was saying, do you have a suspect?" Travis asked again. "Actually, I know who the culprit is. With the truth serum we use, it has gotten easier to find out who's behind what," Rose answered. "So who was it?" LingLing asked. Rose raised an eyebrow at the couple. "I'll give you one guess." "Vicky!" Travis growled. "The one and only," Rose signed, "By the way did you get what I asked for?" Travis nodded, pulled out a bag and handed it to her. "I got a sample from each one of them." "Thanks."

Hawk watched the entire exchange. "What's that?" Rose looked behind at him. "Hair samples from my three favorite evil Regal Academy students." "Why?" Hawk pushed. Rose stared ahead again, "Stuff." Hawk felt his face boil. How dare she not answer his question! When they finally made it to the gate, Travis opened it with his key and let the other classmates walk through. Soon it was only Hawk and his team left. That's when he confronted her again. "Why did you ask for those hair samples?" Rose signed with annoyance, "The reason is simple. It's none of your god damn business." "Hey, you listen here, Earth girl, I'm Hawk Snow White. When I give you question, YOU ANSWER IT!" Rose stared at him unimpressed, then took out her wand and waved it. Suddenly Hawk's hands and feet were tied with pumpkin vines. "And I'm Rose Anderson. When a fairytale dude pisses me off, I throw them out of this world." With that Hawk found himself flying through the gate and fell face-first onto the pavement that lead to his school.

On the other side of the gate Travis gulped, "Alright, let's get back before Hawk and Rose get violent. Bye, Rose, see you Friday." "Yeah, Bye Travis, LingLing and other two girls I don't know." Zero to two for Rose.

Snow White was quite impressed at what the students had found. But she was getting impatient with his grandson's team, since they hadn't shown up yet. Just then they walked through the doors. She noticed immediately that something was off with Hawk, "Hawk, dear, why are your clothes all dirty and rumpled?" "Just ran into a little trouble on Earth, granny, nothing serious," Hawk shrugged. His teammates grinned at each other as if the secret to Hawk's ruined clothes was part of a group joke. Snow White sighed, "Alright then, class dismissed. You will receive your grades tomorrow."

At the Snow White castle, in his room, Hawk grumbled to himself while changing into another set of clothes. "You only deal with maybe one, two villains a week," he mumbled while mimicking Rose's voice, "You didn't take notes. Why am I not surprised. Argh!" He threw his dirty shirt across the room. "I'll show you, Rose Anderson, I'll show you what kind of a hero I am." "You already showed her, Hawk," Mirror-Hawk laughed, "You're an unprofessional one." "Shut up," Hawk shouted. Mirror-Hawk burst into laughter. Hawk glared at him, "What?" "I have literally never seen anyone rile you up so badly. It's hilarious." Hawk groaned, then walked out of his room.
