ELEMENTALS

WIND

Holy motherf-... This is exhausting...

Lena leaned on her knees for the upteenth time that day, inhaling as much fresh air as she can. The pointy-eared commander suggested exercise, but she didn't expect this exercise.

Hiking in a mountain trail.

She really thought the commander was going to give her some free membership in some gym when she suggested a little cardio workout, as though the commander herself had any experience being in a gym, or that she doesn't have her own gym in the safe house. How wrong is she now? Where she is at the moment is most definitely not a gym.

Checking the electronic gadget on her wrist, she realized its almost midday, a couple more hours and it's lunch time. She felt her stomach involuntarily grumble at the thought of lunch. However, it isn't the time of the day she was checking but her navigation. She is unfamiliar with the territory and she doesn't want to get lost.

And by the looks of it, she still has a long way to go.

With a puff of breath and a little curse, she stretched back up again. She took a sip from her water bottle to shut up her grumbling stomach, then she continued walking. As she followed the trail, she took in the serene sights of the woods in the forest on her right side and the streaming water on the ravine on her left.

After about an hour of hiking and sightseeing, Lena reached what she assumed as the spot of her destination. She pulled her binoculars out and peeked into it just to be sure.

Yep... This is the spot alright...

She placed her backpack on the ground as she sat on a rock. Lucky for her, the lush leaves of the tree behind her provided a shade. It's not like the sun bothers her, in fact she'd rather bask under it to get some tan, but more like a cover from unwanted attention, and she doesn't want attention.

She is in a mountain rainforest resort, and she is not the only tourist roaming about.

Lena scanned the area with the binoculars and adjusted it's focus. She zoomed in to one particular log cabin below. The family of five were oblivious to her keen green eyes watching them.

A gay couple and their three adopted daughters were moving about, preparing what she assumes to be their lunch. She zeroed in on each of them and wished she had a much closer look instead of the view she currently has. For some reason, she particularly focused on one of the daughters. But which one of the three daughters possess the power of the wind is supposed to be the main question and something for her to find out.

Unlike the other elementals, the information on this one was so little, it's close to none. The adoption process of these girls were sealed and if she tried to dig further, she will raise not just unnecessary attention but suspicions as well. Both men managed to keep a tight lid on any strange incidents in their family, so that fact alone made her search hard.

She looked at the binoculars and observed, hoping to get lucky...

"I wish I was Supergirl,"

Her sister clutched the comic book on her chest with dreamy eyes. It's really amusing to watch her sister fangirl over some comic book hero.
