Dylan's POV

"I've got a bad feeling that she did go through something traumatizing... How can we help her?"

Alexandra responding "Maybe therapy would help, it helped my older sister when she was going through highschool after she got diagnosed with GAD"

Scott always agreeing to whatever Alexandra would say, "That's a great idea! Maybe we could start taking her to therapy when-"

"Whoa Whoa, Guys hold on a second! We can't just give her to a therapist and say "Here you go, got another one for you to take care of!" We all need to pitch in to help support her through whatever she's going through, she needs to know we'll be there for her"

"Dylan, do you've been so protective and caring of Caitlin... I've got a feeling... is there something going on between you two? Do you like her?"

WHAT THE HECK?! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CAITLIN NOT ME! OH GOSH I HONESTLY DIDN'T KNOW...

I mean I had feelings for her, but I guess I hadn't realized until now that maybe I was beginning to form a small crush for her.

She was very beautiful, whenever I saw her, I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
She was also very kind, sweet like honey, and I could see myself in her,
we both had similar stories, our parents died, we lost our family,
it seemed like  we were ment to be with each other.
We could both relate to each other about our family losses, our feelings, everything.
When I talked to her, I couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful she was,
her presence made me feel like she was someone I was destined to meet in my life,
I never wanted to stop talking to her... she was the one who lifted the depression off of my shoulders,
after meeting Caitlin, she made me happy inside, she was the one who helped me feel like I could get through life-

"Ummm...Dylan?"

"Oh yes, I mean um- wait what? OKAY This is not about me, this is about Caitlin"
I quickly brushed my fingers through my thick fluff of hair, attempting to NOT show my feelings about her,
I slowly put my hands in my pockets, I had to remain calm.

"Righttttttt-" Alexandra smirked and smiled.

DARN IT.

I blushed in embarrassment, ugh.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

I looked down at my squad watch,

*EMERGENCY----FIRE AT TRADERS VILLAGE----HOUSE ADRESS---6541 FARIS LANE SAN FRANCISCO CA. 9128*

"There's a fire at Traders Village, we gotta go" Scott said in a hurry

"Ok, go get into you suits, I'm gonna go get Caitlin-"

"DYLAN?!" Scott semi- yelled out at me

"Yeah"

"Don't you think we should give her some time to get over this, ALONE ? She just escaped from an orphanage for who knows EXACTLY why?! and now shes made national news practically having a SEARCH party after her?!"

I guess I hadn't really thought about that throughly...

I still wanted to include Caitlin, there was no reason to leave her out of the group.

"I'm gonna ask anyway-"

"DYLAN,  WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS, UGHHH DYLAN!-"

I ran to her room, ignoring him, and found her staring out her window.

"Hey, There's a fire at Traders Village, would you like to join us in rescuing these people?!" I said
giving her a warm smile.

She looked back at me and semi- smiled back,
"Sure, and I apologize for the way I've been acting lately, I've just had a lot of stuff become too overwhelming for me, I don't really know how to handle it or take it in. All these years I've been at the orphanage, all I've ever done is push my problems away from me, I never really delt with them, or give them a second thought, so now feeling and understanding my problems, makes me feel all these different emotions I don't understand"

"Don't worry about it, I would've done the same thing you did, if I was in your shoes, I-"

"DYLAN- WE GOTTA GO NOW BEFORE IT SPREADS BRO!"

"We're going! Okay I gotta go change into my suit, meet us downstairs!"

I wanted to talk to her longer, it was so easy to open up and talk to her, I could talk to Caitlin for hours. It was also easy to forget what was happening with the world and get lost in a deep conversation that I had with her, and get lost in her eyes.

I smiled once again at her, almost blushing, and ran out the room.

Caitlin's POV

I could NOT wait to put my powers to the test, I can actually use them to help people!

For years I've been dreaming about this day and now it's actually coming true!

I know it may sound a little weird and crazy but at the orphanage,

I've actually had some time to think about what my dream superhero costume would look like...

I closed my eyes and thought about my costume design come to life and...

*POOF*

Viola!

I was wearing my costume!

It was super sparkly and totally adorable,

I wonder what everyone else would've thought about it, hopefully not creepy.

I sped downstairs to find everyone adding last minute touches to their costumes,

Alexandra wore a cute hot pink costume with a bedazzled cape filled with all shades of pink!
I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't like sparkly things!

I wore a light, aqua blue costume, with white faux fur embellishing my white boots and cape.

Scott Anxiously waiting and continuously looking at his watch, awaiting Dylan said

"DYLAN!! WE NEED TO GO NOW! ANY DAY WOULD BE GREAT!"

Dylan came out rushing out of the room, fixing and running his fingers through his fuzzy dark brown hair.

"Alright let's go squad!"

Dylan said still fixing his hair as he exited the house onto the front porch.

Scott stopped me as everyone was leaving

"Here, you're gonna need this!"

He handed me a watch with a little screen on it,

"We can get notified whenever theres an emergency in town and it can also teleport us to the location"

As he was talking to me I put it on, ready for action!

We all huddled in a small circle out in the front porch,

"Ready?" Alexandra shouted

Everyone,  Including me gave her a nod,

she placed her finger on a button that was on the side of the watch.

Before I knew it,

I saw a house in flames right before me,

we had absolutely no time to waste!

Each of us split up and quickly decided through body gestures who was saving who and who was helping it go smoothly.

I ran towards the front of the house and began to freeze small flames that had begun on the 1st floor,

The boiling hot fire made the ice melt while some of it helped it die down a little bit,

The flames were most violent on the top of the house,

I had to get up there!

But how?!

I ran faster and faster around the house, shooting ice at any flames I could spot,

I suddenly began to feel the urge to jump, until I couldn't feel the ground beneath me anymore...

I WAS FLYING!

I had no time to appreciate and admire my newly learned power, so I carried on with my rescue mission.

I flew up to the 2nd story and attempted to put out the fire,

no luck.

The flames were too intense!!

I was high enough to see a crowd forming in front of the house,

I couldn't look like a fool and make it seem like I wasn't and help to the group!

I saw Alexandra and Scott standing at the front of the house with two people covered in ash talking to them,

Alexandra looked for Dylan and I, and found me above the house, in shock, yelled at me

" GO IN THERE AND HELP DYLAN! THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE INSIDE! SCOTT AND I WILL WAIT FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO COME!"

I looked for a window to go through

I flew close to one that hadn't been fully touched with flames,

feeling magic run through my body I lifted my hands up motioning the window to go up,

doing as instructed , it lifted itself up

I crawled inside,slowly getting up from the floor,

I had no time to waste,

this house could collapse at any minute.

Thick, heavy, dark clouds were birthed from the flames

invading my lungs, causing me to have a coughing attack.

"HELP, HELP! ME AND MY BROTHER- AHHHH!!"

I heard something collapse

oh no.

The chants came from the left of me upstairs, I ran towards the voice,

swatting the thick gray mist in front of me.

Finally I reached the little girl and her brother in a corner of the house, surrounded by flames,

"Don't worry! I'm going to get you guys out!"

I stuck my hands out in front attempting to put the flames out with ice, I was sweating and my heart couldn't stop beating out of my chest.

The flames gave up and allowed me to grab their hands and take them to safety.

I went back to where I came in,
it had been touched by fire.

I heard Dylan yelling in the distance

"Caitlin?! CAITLIN?!"

"DYLAN I'M HERE I HAVE TWO CHILDREN WITH ME, THE- "

All of a sudden, some of the roof began to fall apart

the children, screaming, I DIDN'T KNOW what to DO!

I pulled the kids towards me, holding them tight.

"COME DOWNSTAIRS! THEY HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN TOUCHED BY FIRE, I FOUND AN EXIT DOWN HERE!"

"Okay, lets go guys!!"

I took their hands putting, them in front of me so they could get out first.

Dylan couldn't stop coughing, neither could I.

We came to him and he motioned the way out and helped each of the kids get out safely.

Just as the 2nd child was almost out I heard a faint cry.

Dylan looked back at me, his eyes...
telling me to go out first.

"THERE'S A BABY SOMEWHERE IN HERE, YOU GO DYLAN I'LL BE OUT IN A MINUTE"

Dylan looked worried but went out anyway somewhat trusting me.

I ran and heard the cry down a hallway filled with smoke,

swatting the dense, thick grey clouds filled with ash out of my face,

I began to have horrible coughing fit, having an unusual sensation in my chest.

The baby lay there crying, helpless in their crib.

I picked the baby up ad put her/him close to my chest to prevent anymore smoke getting into their lungs.

I ran back towards the exit Dylan had mentioned,
the baby still crying,
I gave the baby to Dylan,
"Go, Go, Take them to safety, I'll get this fire under control"

He ran with the baby into a large crowd forming outside.

I continued to try to freeze the flames in their path, still being unable to freeze.
I shot ice harder than I've ever had before and finally put out the fire with ice.

I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe, soon enough my heart was beating out of control, I almost couldn't keep up!

My brain pounded against my skull, causing me to drop to the floor.
Ice as always when I fall, unexpectedly scattered around the floor and climbed its way up to the ceilings and walls.

*CRACKLE* *CRACKLE*

I looked around me, and saw nothing but ice.

Did I really just put out this house with fire? with my own powers?

I attempted to get up,

feeling like a string of spaghetti,

I was weaker than weak

The heat,
the smoke,
everything made me weak.

I somehow managed to get up,
wobbled to the exit,
and slid through the window crack.

As soon as I made it out, everyone including the survivors, cameramen, news-crew, neighbors
cheered so loudly, you could practically hear them from miles away.

Alexandra, Scott, and Dylan all came running up to me and slammed into my body with hugs, almost knocking me over from the impact.

I smiled through it all,
We did it

They all ended the hug in sync and looked back at the camera crew,

Scott smirked and pulled us all closer together with his muscular arms,
"Well folks, thank you for being apart of this historic moment! We'd love to stay and chat but homework awaits!!"

The audience laughed and applauded one last time,
everyone except me waved goodbye,
until I got the memo ;)
I waved goodbye.

Within seconds we teleported back home.

With all the teleportation, I felt a little dizzy and somewhat nauseated, UGH.

I tried to walk in as normally as possible, Dylan holding the door for us.

I couldn't help walking at 5mph :(

My whole body was aching and sore,
I was still struggling to breathe a bit.

Dylan stood there smiling, SOMEHOW patiently waiting as I walked in TERRIBLY SLOW.

Dylan shouted from behind me "You guys up for some burgers tonight?"

Scott and Alexandra squealed with excitement.

"Do you want burgers Caitlin? We get these awesome burgers just in the middle of downtown LA called Burger City its sooooo good I can't even begin to tell you!"
Dylan politely asked.

I was having trouble opening and closing my mouth to talk!
"Y-Y-Yeah, let me...go..grab...my"
I was running out of breath after each word.

I felt everyone strangely looking at me.

"my...jacket"

WHEW, OH BOY, WOW FINISHED THAT SENTENCE! :D
I began to slowly walk up the first flight of stairs approaching a platform connected to the second flight,

"Ok, we'll wait for you down here"

"Alright.. I'll be right...b-b-"

*BOOM*
I FELL FACE FIRST TOWARDS THAT DREADED PLATFORM

Everyone came rushing towards me,

Dylan gently shaking me while calling out my name.

"CAITLIN?! CAITLIN?!"

Suddenly voices began to echo.

I began to feel absolutely nothing.

I couldn't tell if I was dead or alive.
