He was walking away and I grabbed him by the hand and we sat on a bench.

Me: My friend didn't mean anything bad. We are just affected by the whole situation.

WW: It's my fault that my father hates all the mutants, because I am a monster.

Me: You are not a monster.

WW: You're saying that because you don't have wings coming out of your back.

Me: I wish I had wings like you, that way I would be able to fly and be free.

WW: I've never thought of it this way! I always wanted to be free.

Me: And you will be, when you give your mutation a chance and love yourself. Aurora and I loved and supported mutants before we even found out we were too.

WW: You know, I may have wings, but you are like an angel too.

Me: An angel? I'm more like a little devil.

We shared a laugh. He felt a little better and we returned to my friends. We introduced them to Angel and told them our new hero names. We talked for a while and then we went back to our rooms. I went to Alex's room and Bobby came over to ours so we could work on the project. We managed to finish the project quickly. About half an hour after we started working on the project, I told Alex.

Me: I guess you're only a smartass when it comes to comment on Angel, but you don't have anything smart to say about the project.

Alex: Uh, okay. How was I supposed to know about your past?

Me: When you don't know something, just shut your mouth, just like you're doing with this project. Because when you speak, you say stupid things. So, come on, we just have to add some details and then we're done.

Aurora's POV

Bobby came over so we could finish the project Hank assigned. After about 45 minutes we were done and we waited for Alicia to come back.

B: I like how you shut Alex up earlier.

Me: Well, I didn't, I was expecting a different answer from him.

B: What did you expect from me?

He said, whilst coming closer.

Me: I was expecting something different from all of you, since you are under the professor's "wing".

He didn't get the chance to answer because Alicia came in. He said goodbye and left.

End of Aurora's POV

The days passed and we pretty much did the same things. I was searching for Pietro, but I didn't find him. Aurora and Alex continued doing the dishes. We started bonding even more with our new friends and they accepted Angel in the friend group. Today is the last day of Aurora's punishment. Also, we handed in our project papers and they were graded with 100%. Aurora tried to control her powers again, but she didn't succeed. In the evening, I was alone because Bobby, Kitty and Anna-Marie had to go to a mission. I was at the balcony, when suddenly Angel appeared in front of me.

Me: Your wings are really beautiful.

WW: Would you like to fly with me?

Me: Actually, it's against the rules to be outside at this hour.

I replied and he dropped his face.

WW: Oh, I didn't know.

Me: It's okay. Rules are meant to be broken.

He came closer, picked me up and we started flying. I was looking at the clouds and they were really pretty. I thought that if reached with my hands I could touch them. I turned my head and saw that Angel was staring at me. We were so close when he said

WW: Maybe we should go back?

Me: Yeah, I think it's a good idea to head back now. We don't want Aurora to come back and not find me in the room.

Aurora's POV

I am so frustrated; I didn't manage to control my powers again today. I sighed throwing the sponge in the sink.

Alex: Why are you so angry? At least I have a reason to be like this.

Me: Because I didn't do well with my training today, because of some people!

Alex: Nice, and I didn't go to this mission because...

Me: Because of what? Me?

Alex: No, because of this punishment. Unlike you I don't blame someone in this room.

Me: I didn't blame you, but if you want to believe that...

I stopped my sentence and splashes him.

Alex: Why did you do that?

Me: In order to drown that belief.

Alex: Is that so?

He said and turned the faucet my way. I was about to do the same thing to him, when he grabbed my hands and pulled me close to him. My hands were on his chest and he put his hand on the small of my back. When we were about to kiss, the door opened and Logan walked in. I cannot believe this happened again! This man is a killjoy!

Alex: For God's sake, Logan!

L: I just came here to get a beer. I believe you guys should go back to your rooms.

I didn't say anything. I just left the kitchen and went to my room. When I entered, I saw Alicia walking in from the balcony.

Al: Why are you wet from top to bottom? Did you forget how to wash dished?

Me: Just don't... Alex and I were messing around and Logan just messed things up again. Why were you coming from the balcony?

Al: Angel and I were just flying.

Me: What, no more Pietro for you?

Al: If I don't find him tomorrow, then no more Pietro.

We chatted for a while about what happened and then we went to sleep.

End of Aurora's POV

In the morning, when we woke up, we went to get some breakfast and then headed to our lessons. When we were done with that, the man that controlled the four elements arrived. He was going to help me with my training. I headed to the professor's office and he was there too. When I opened the door, my mouth dropped. I knew this man. It was him!
