   His emerald eyes peered down at me with curiosity, his hand extending to help me up. I took his black-gloved hand, letting him pull me up, I wanted to stay laying, wanted the pounding in my head to go away. Despite that, I sat up straight, holding my head high as I narrowed my eyes.
    "Depends on the question, Lloyd." I spoke with a bite in my voice, emphasizing his name. I tilt my head to the side, meeting everyone's eyes as I had whenever we'd all met. This time I could actually see their eyes, read their expressions. The one I remembered having been in red, had eyes that were such a brown they almost appeared to be red, holding a burning fire in them. The one in blue had bright eyes, though they were a darker color, holding specks of yellow in them, almost like lightning striking across a night sky, lighting the sky up with each streak. The one in black looked tough, he had dark, dark, brown eyes, almost black, with specks of greens and lighter browns in them. Then, the one that had been in white had bright, light blue colored eyes, they were icy, holding a cool expression. The female also had blue eyes, but they were different shades, a dark turning into a lighter clear color as they neared the pupil of her eyes, they reminded me of the different shades of water, weirdly.
    "I don't think you've got much of a choice. If you did, you would've used your powers by now, wouldn't you?" Lloyd smirked, his eyes brightening with amusement as I brought my eyes back to him, my hard expression faultering. His eyes were purely an emerald green, unique in their own way compared to all the other's odd eyes. His eyes seemed to hold a glow, childish but wise in a way.
    "You've caught me, or, maybe I'm saving them for the right moment? All power comes with a price, does it not?" I laugh softly, not one of amusement. More so like a laughing scoff. My powers drained my energy. Not as quickly as they had last night, much slower. I haven't had proper rest, though. And making through that dimensional portal also drained me, along with that stress of having to get the hell out of my own house..I was practically drained. It could take days for my powers to come back.
     "What's your name?" He spoke, his eyes turning curious, though they flickered to his friends. They held something I couldn't read, though I quickly understood as the female ushered them all out, leaving herself.
    "I'll bring you some clothes, love." She smiled, nodding lightly before exiting. Lloyd's eyes was watching me as they'd left, mine having been observing each of them carefully.
    "(Y/N), that's my name. I'm 15, from another world called Earth. Happy? That's all you're getting. Now can I got?" I shoot him a harsh look as I spoke, "Have you got a staring problem or something?"
    His cheeks flushed as he shook his head, coughing lightly. "No. I'm just curious. You're different, (Y/N). It's interesting. We're all curious, especially about your powers. What can you do?" My eyes widened, my brows raising. Why my power's?
    "Why?" I whisper, my voice cracking. I didn't even know what I could do. I mostly used it to move stuff. The air does whatever I want it to, if I had the power to manipulate it. I clench my fist, narrowing my eyes. "It's not any of your business, or your friend's in costumes."
    "I guess you're right, but whenever it comes to a stranger falling from the sky and having us, of all people, immobile in a matter of seconds, proving they could be a threat to our people..it becomes our business." His voice went from being soft, patient, to being harsh and impatient within seconds. I flinched, staring at him in shock.
    "I can do what you saw. I can use and move the air how I want. I can remove it from an area, or being more into one with very little. There's more, I'm sure, that I don't even know. But that's what I know so far. I'm not here to hurt anyone. I'm here to get away from being hurt. My home is gone." I spoke softly, my tone changing to hurt with the last sentence. Tears flooded my eyes. They were gone. Really gone. My parent's. The life I'd had. I had nothing. No home to go to. Nowhere to go. I was clueless, alone. I can't say my parent's are with me in spirit, if they are dead, they were in a whole other dimension. And I really don't think that's possible..I have my memories. No pictures, nothing. And it hurt.
    "Hey! Hey, I didn't mean to make you cry. I..should I hug you? Do you need something?" He looked panicked, concerned, and confused. He moved closer to the bed, his movements slightly awkward. It was as though he'd overestimated the distance between him and the bed as he bumped into it. I shook my head, holding my hands up towards him.
    "No. Just.. Is there anything else..?" I looked up at him, letting my hands fall on my lap. I wanted to be left alone. He took the hint, shaking his head. With a look of concern, he actually left.

    A day had passed since I'd been here. Nya, the girl with the water eyes, had given me clothes she claimed she never wore. Most were..heh, tight. I'm not big, that ain't the thing. I'm just curvy, from my chest, along my waist, hips, thighs, and bottom. I hate to brag about it, but I do have a nice figure. The chest was passed down, as weird as it sounded. The rest of me was wear I worked out. I trained. I didn't have much else to do. I was homeschooled. I gamed. But I had to take care of my physical health, too.
    I was shown around by Nya too. Though the structure caught me off guard. It was odd. The rooms on the exterior of the building was curved along the back walls. It was perplexing, something that threw me off until we reach the top. A ship. I was on a flying ship. In the sky. They lived on a flying freaking ship. It wasn't too big. A room for the Ninja, of whom names I now knew for sure. Another for Nya, then Lloyd, and Sensei Wu. They had a spare room, and then the training room. Two bathrooms, too. Then on the upper deck, they had the kitchen and dining room, and above that they had their command area of sorts. I guess it was kinda big. Though, I still felt alone. A piece of me was gone.
    I drew back an arrow as Lloyd caught blade on Kai's sword, his expression straining. A green ball of aura slowly began growing around Lloyd's hands. Kai jerked the sword away, causing Lloyd to lose his balance. I let it go, a flat, circular plastic piece replaced where the arrow head should've been, it hit the side of his head as he fell, bouncing off helplessly and clattering to the ground.
    "And you're dead." I shrug, letting my hands fall to my side. I held the bow tightly in my grip. They'd had one, unsurprisingly enough, and given it to me. Allowed me to train with them today. A few were surprised I could even shoot a bow, the others in awe. It was my comfort, weirdly enough. A distraction from everything around me.
    I was brought of my daze as I realized everyone was gone. I hadn't heard anything they'd said, so I was left wandering the Bounty in search of them. I found them in their command center, the Ninja getting prepared to leave. I was allowed to stay, but in return I was to help them. Join them on missions. So I wasn't surprised as a green go was thrown at me.
    "This was the smallest one we had. From whenever..Lloyd was smaller. It may still be a bit small on you, but it'll be better than what it would've been had you worn one of the others." Nya smiled lightly, that same smile as before. But her voice held a twinge of jealousy. I nodded, throwing it on over what I had on, because I was being lazy. Replacing the practice arrows real arrows as I throw the over my head and shoulder, letting it lay on my back. I hold my bow tightly in my hand and look at the rest of them in shock. Zane comes over and pulls the hood over my head, fixing it around my eyes. Nya wasn't wrong, it was a bit tight, even more so with my clothes underneath. I thanked whatever was out there the I had even the slightest of use of my powers, because I was sure I'd need them..
    Why is this happening so soon..?
