Beast boy walked through the common room doors, rubbing his abdomen. He groaned as his stomach growled loudly, desperate for food. He's been so caught up with everything that he forgot to eat in the process. He could go for a good veggie burger and a large box of pizza.

The changeling walked down the stairs towards the kitchen. He opened the fridge and looked around at the content, which wasn't much. He sighed and stood up straight. "Looks like I'm ordering out."

Beast boy slammed the door shut and turned around, carelessly walking to get the phone. He yelped when he walked straight into what felt like a furry wall. He fell back onto the floor, staring straight ahead, but there was nothing in front of him but air. "Huh? What was that?"

"Sorry, Beast boy!" Melvin leaned over the counter, staring at the confused face of Beast boy. She turned to the air. "Bobby, it's ok. You don't have to hide from him."

Beast boy stared forward and gawked when the large teddy bear became visible to his green eyes. "Oh yeah! I forgot that you had a bear with you, Melvin."

"He's not just a bear! He's Bobby. My best friend." Melvin replied angrily.

Beast boy rose to his feet, rubbing his growling stomach. "Yeah, whatever." He walked past the bear, going straight for the phone and dialing the pizza parlor. "You want some pizza?"

Melvin looked at him with worried eyes. "Beast boy, is Raven mad at me?"

Beast boy stared into her blue eyes. He raised a brow, confused. "Nah, Melvin. Why would she?"

Melvin frowned, looking down. "Because I failed to watch Farah. I was supposed to be her babysitter, and she managed to leave the Tower. If I had watched her better then she would be here right now."

Beast boy softened at the sight of the sad 15-year-old. He gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it, Melvin. Farah is a handful. I promise you that Raven isn't angry."

Melvin glanced back up at him, not truly believing his words. "Are you sure? Raven can be pretty scary when she's mad."

"You don't have to tell me that...I know." Beast boy said. "But she's not mad at you. She knows you did your best."

Melvin nodded her head, cracking a smile. "Thanks. By the way, are there any leads on Farah at all?"

Beast boy sighed. "Yeah, there's a few. Once Robin is all healed up, we'll start planning a strategy to get her back."

"Awesome! Bobby and I can't wait to start kicking some villain butt!" Melvin beamed, aiming punches to the air with Bobby following suit.

Beast boy laughed. "Oh, yeah. We're going to beat them all right. So..do you want pizza or no?"

Melvin nodded her head eagerly.

Raven and Cyborg walked into the common room with blueprints in their hands. The two conversed quietly, their focus solely on the papers in front of them.

Melvin meeped quietly at the sight of Raven. She flipped over the kitchen counter while Bobby became invisible again. Beast boy chuckled at their scared responses.

"This seems too easy," Raven said to Cyborg, pointing to the blueprints of Hive Academy. "The grounds layout is too accessible. Literally, anyone could walk on their campus."

Cyborg nodded his head. "Yeah, but I promise you that there's some barrier around the base. It's probably selective to who can enter and can't. Plus, if you look at the gate, I won't be surprised if there are a few weapons installed secretly to catch intruders."

Raven stared. "Yeah, you're right...Is there any way you can break the barrier for a quick minute to get us all inside?"

Cyborg shrugged his shoulders."I'm going to have to hack into their computers first. Blood knows almost every trick that I have, so it may take some time."

"Then start now," Raven ordered.

"A please would be nice," Cyborg whispered as he walked towards the monitor.

Raven rolled her eyes and went back to staring at the blueprints. They needed to find a way inside the academy in order to reach Farah. However, the problem that then arises is where Farah could be. The academy is large with a whopping 25 floors and hundreds of dorm rooms and classrooms. Not to mention the many instructors and students studying under the Academy. This would not be an easy mission at all.

"You guys want some pizza?" Beast boy asked from the corner.

Cyborg grinned. "Yeah! Meat lovers, please! And I better not see any trace of that nasty tofu on it, green bean."

Beast boy stuck out his tongue. "Tofu is good for you. Try it out for once."

Cyborg shook his head. "No tofu! Tell them to add extra meat to mine."

Beast boy waved his hand in Cyborg's direction and turned to Raven. She sat at the counter, still examining the paper while Melvin hid right in front of her behind the counter. He made eye contact with the blonde and gestured for her to stand up, but she shook her head vigorously, signaling no. He shrugged his shoulders in response. "Rae, you want pizza?"

"No." She said quickly.

Beast boy frowned. "You need to eat."

"I'm not hungry."

"Are you sure? You haven't eaten anything since you woke up."

"No, Beast boy! I'm not hungry!" Raven said with a snip in her tone.

Melvin stared in Beast boy's direction, worried for his safety after hearing Raven's tone, but this didn't faze Beast boy. He was used to Raven's attitude.

He walked towards her, placing a strong hand on her shoulder. "You won't be able to save Farah like this."

Raven turned back to stare at him, a strong scowl on her face. "Just watch me."

Beast boy narrowed his own eyes in response. He leaned over her and took the blueprints from her grasp. Raven turned around in the chair to face him. "Give it back, Beast boy."

Beast boy raised the papers high above his head, making it harder for Raven's short stature to reach it. Raven glanced up at his eyes with an angry glare in her eyes. Beast boy didn't falter. From previous situations, he learned that if he was going to win this staring contest with Raven, he shouldn't show any trace of fear. "Eat first, then you can go back to work."

Raven balled her fists. "Are you asking to get hurt?"

Beast boy shook his head. "No, I'm asking you to take it easy. You won't get Farah back if you overwork yourself like this. We're all working together to get her back, so cool it. Don't put all of this on yourself."

The couple stared into their colored eyes with anger. Neither one was willing to lighten up and listen to the other.

"Beast boy, I'm going to say this one last time. Give me the papers." Raven extended her hand, waiting to receive the documents she wanted.

Beast boy shook his head, keeping the blueprints high above his head. "After dinner, ok?"

Raven loosened her shaking fists and turned her head, breaking their intense gaze.

Beast boy closed his eyes and smirked, happy to have won the war. "Glad that we came to an agree-oof!"

Raven snatched the blueprints from Beast boy's gloved hands as his large body slowly fell to the floor with a thud. Melvin stared with widened eyes from behind the counter at the action. Raven had punched Beast boy hard in the abdomen, causing him to drop to his knees and heave. Cyborg glanced back at the scene, wondering what happened.

Beast boy continued to wince and heave in pain as his hand felt the pain in his abdomen. He growled, glancing at Raven as she walked away from him towards the common room doors. "What the hell, Raven!? What has gotten into you?"

She turned. "Don't play like that with me, Beast boy. We have work to do, and I don't have time to waste."

"I'm only trying to help you!" Beast boy yelled. "I can't stand it when you act like this."

Raven continued walking. "Then leave me alone." She replied coldly. "I didn't ask you to help me."

Melvin ran from behind the counter she was hiding behind when the double doors closed and Raven was out of sight. She knelt beside Beast boy and helped him to his feet. He continued to growl angrily, his hand still over his abdomen.

Cyborg came to his side as well and helped walk him towards the couch. "You alright, man?"

"I told you that Raven was scary when she's angry! I bet you she thought of me when she punched you." Melvin said worriedly.

Beast boy fumed in his spot on the couch. He punched the table in front of the couch, causing it to crack and scaring Melvin. "Damn her! Why does she always push people out when they decide to help her."

"Calm down, man. You know how Raven can get when she's focused. You have to remember that this is Farah we're talking about. She can get very protective when her baby is gone."

"I don't care, Cy!" Beastboy yelled."Are you taking her side?"

"Nah, man! She has no right to hit you like that." Cyborg stayed silent. He felt bad for his best friend but even he knows better than to confront Raven when she's not in the mood. "Just let her cool down, ok?"

"Screw her." Beast boy whispered as he rose to his feet. He winced at the pain he felt in his abdomen, but he endured it as he walked away from the two and towards his room. He passed the counter where the phone was and the pizza menu, completely losing his appetite.

Melvin and Cyborg stared with worry eyes at the changeling's departure. The blonde turned to the robotic man. "Are they going to be alright?"

Cyborg folded his arms and shrugged his shoulders.

Farah stared in awe as she followed the red headed woman down the main area of the academy. It was huge. Everything was colored a bright golden yellow and black. Farah glanced down at her moving feet and stared at the large cursive H insignia of the school printed largely on the clean floors. There were grand stairways in the center where teenage students walked up and down conversing with each other. Farah kept close to her guide when a large swarm of students entered the main area through the large double doors, talking and moving in different locations of the grand area. The toddler didn't want to take any chances of getting lost among the numerous teenage villains.

When the two began walking down a hallway, away from the busy common area, Farah glanced up. She wore her prissy uniform and had her curly blonde hair brushed, much to her dismay. A frown was plastered on her face as she continued to follow this redhead. So far, Farah didn't like her. She was mean and swore that she knew everything. Plus, when the teenager is angry, she can appear very scary, just like Farah's mother.

Though Farah did not like her, she was the only person that Farah would fully cooperate with. Farah didn't know anyone else in this school and didn't care to know. If Blood forced her to attend classes, then she'll do so for the short time that she'll be here until her parents come to her rescue. Farah smiled softly as she thought back on her Titan family. She's only been gone for about a day or two but she missed them so much. She's never truly been away from them like this. "I bet Mommy is a complete mess without me being home." Farah thought. Even she knew that her mother can be very overprotective of her. Farah found it annoying as her mother would say no to many things that she wanted to do, but right now, Farah so desperately wanted to witness it. She missed being in her mother's grasp and being spoiled and babied by her. The thought that she was completely alone and away from her family scared Farah, but she didn't lose hope. She had high confidence that her parents would come any day now, breaking down the door to the bland bedroom she's forced to be in and snatch her out of this establishment.

Farah was so lost in her thoughts that she failed to realize that her guide had stopped walking in front of her. Farah yelped when her head hit the back of the redhead's warm thigh.

The girl looked down with a scowl. "Pay attention, will ya?"

Farah looked up, a scowl on her face as well. "Then keep walking! Why would you stop in the middle of a hallway?"

"Show some respect, you brat! I'm the one that's helping you get to your stupid class, which, by the way, you're extremely late to!"

"I don't care if I'm late. I don't want to be here anyway."

"You have an attitude that I don't like. If you don't fix yourself up, Headmaster Blood will punish you greatly."

"Meh." Farah shrugged her shoulders, a sign of not caring to that as well.

The girl continued walking towards the designated classroom. They weren't far from where they needed to be. It was right around the corner. She couldn't wait to get rid of this brat and go back to her own reality. She had no idea why she, out of the hundreds of other sophomores in this academy, was chosen to serve as a guide to this disrespectful kid.

"Hey," Farah spoke, getting her attention. "What's your name?"

The girl slowed her walking. "That's right..I don't even know this kid's name." That simple information slipped through her mind as she was focused more on getting the kid to class on time.

"Phoenix."

Farah walked beside the woman since her walking slowed. "Phoenix," Farah repeated slowly. The toddler smiled. "You know, for a big meanie like you, Phoenix isn't a bad name! It's really pretty!"

Phoenix blushed softly. She didn't know whether to be angry or flattered by the comment. Ignoring the comment she spoke but still affected by the words she stammered. "Er-um, what's your name, kid?"

"Farah."

Phoenix nodded her head in response. She wasn't going to complement the toddler on her name, but like her follower, she found Farah's name to be pretty too.

Phoenix stopped walking when the two reached a tall gold yellow door with the room number 313 written in black. "Alright, kid. This is your classroom. I'll be back to take you to your next assigned area in about 45 minutes."

Farah stared up at the tall door. Unconsciously, she gripped the straps of her book bag tightly, causing her small fists to tremble.

Phoenix crossed her arms and stared down at Farah with a raised brow. "Well...go on. Don't act like a fool inside."

"Um..." Farah said softly. Her eyes showed worry the more she stared up at the door and her hands were getting sweaty out of nervousness.

Phoenix glanced at the spot on the door that Farah was staring at then back down to her, confused that there was nothing out of the ordinary. "You scared of meeting new people or something? Because you didn't seem that way when I first met you this morning."

Farah shook her head. Her cheeks were burning as they changed from their normal fair skin tone to a rosy red. "No, it's not that..it's just..um, uh.."

"Spit it out, brat! I have to take a test in 20 minutes!"

"I've never been to an actual school before!" Farah blurted out. "This is my first time going to a real classroom." Farah stared down at her feet and twiddled her thumbs, embarrassed and nervous. "My mommy teaches me at home."

Phoenix glanced down at her. She chuckled, not at Farah's dilemma, but at the way she was worried about it. She looked like a nervous mess, and it was actually funny to see. The kid that was giving her so much lip and attitude half an hour ago was standing in front of her, scared and on the verge of tears.

Farah could feel tears streaming down her face when she saw Phoenix laugh at her. Her cheeks turned an even darker red and she felt the strong urge to just run.

Phoenix stopped laughing and stared back down at a silently crying Farah. "I'm sorry." She whispered in between giggles. "I'm laughing at your face. You look hilarious."

Farah frowned, tears still in her eyes. "And you look like an ugly dog!"

Phoenix stopped giggling and glanced down at the girl. She pointed a finger and scowled. "Hey, watch it."

Farah stared back down, quickly wiping away the angry tears.

"Ok, look. There's nothing to be scared of, kid. Just walk in, take your seat, write a few things here and there on your paper, act as if you're listening, then the next thing you know, class is over and everyone's leaving." Phoenix said lackadaisically. "Trust me, I do it all the time."

"But what if everyone stares and make fun of me?" Farah said silently.

Phoenix scoffed. "What is there to make fun of?" She glanced down at her wristwatch and realized that the bell to her own class was about to ring. "Look, ki-Farah, I doubt they'll do that. And if they do, then tell me. I'll confront them just for you."

Farah looked up her. She was still wiping away the tears and her cheeks were returning back to their normal skin tone. "Really? You promise?"

Phoenix groaned. She gripped the strap of her book bag in annoyance. She hated playing babysitter. "Yeah, sure, I promise. Now, go in. You've wasted enough time as it is." Phoenix opened the door without warning and grabbed Farah's arm.

"Wait, wait, I'm not ready!" Farah whined as her body was pushed into the bright classroom.

"Too late! Good luck." Phoenix quickly said as she shoved Farah's body inside the room then slammed the door behind her. Once the door was closed, she glanced at her wristwatch again before dashing down the hallway in the opposite direction.

Farah trembled as she stood at the door. Her purple eyes were swimming with fear as she stared at the many faces of other children around her own age and a few that were a bit older. She stared forward and connected eyes with a man who stood behind a black podium, whom she assumed was the teacher. He stood tall and proud with a frown on his face, assuming that he was upset that she intruded on what he was saying.

"I assume that you are our new student?" The teacher asked with no emotion towards Farah.

Farah continued to stand against the door in fear, nodding her head slowly.

The teacher sighed then pointed to an empty seat in the back of the classroom. "Since you are tardy, you will sit in the only available seat. Go on.''

Farah slowly leaned off the door and made her way towards the back of the classroom. She felt her cheeks burn once more when she noticed that everyone was staring at her with scrutinizing eyes. Although this was a classroom of her peers, it still felt awkward. Never has she seen so many young eyes in her direction.

The space between the chairs was tight, and book bags of other children were in the way, making it harder. Farah gulped and tried to stay focus so that she wouldn't trip and embarrass herself even further.

As Farah walked, she felt uneasy. She looked up and noticed one of the student's bookbag in the back was becoming encased in a black aura. Farah felt even more nervous. This wasn't good. She had no idea what she would do if her powers were to lash out here and now.

Farah took in deep breaths, trying to calm her nerves and not focus on the book bag. Thankfully, the student who owned the bag never noticed the object levitating slightly off the floor behind her chair.

Eventually, Farah made it to the empty seat in the back and made herself situated. Once she was seated, the teacher began speaking once more.

Farah felt a bit of relief when everyone stopped staring at her and back forward to the man at the front. She turned her head to the right to stare at the book bag that was levitating a minute ago. She was pleased to see it sitting on the floor like it should be. Farah sighed quietly and managed to smile a bit. "I think the hard part is over now.."

A boy that was sitting in the seat in front of her turned around to stare at Farah's face. Farah looked up and nearly yelped when she realized that he was staring hard. Her purple eyes widened in worry and her hands trembled in her lap.

Farah stared back at him. He was certainly her age. He had dark navy blue hair that shone softly in the bright lights of the room. His skin was smooth but pale. He had on thick black glasses, but underneath them were icy blue eyes that were staring right into her own purple orbs.

"What does he want? Why is he staring at me? I don't like this at all! This is really creepy! Do I have something on my face? Do I need to talk? But if I talk I may get in trouble."

The boy smiled, showing his young white teeth. His own cheeks turned a soft pink as he blushed. "You're cute." He whispered. "Do you wanna' be my girlfriend? I'll buy you jello at the cafeteria!"

Farah stopped rambling in her thoughts when she heard him speak. Her cheeks turned bright red at the question. "Girlfriend? Ew! No!" Farah sat up straight in her desk and briskly shook her head, signaling to the boy that her answer was a no.

The boy frowned. "Awe." He whispered in disappointment. "Are you sure? How about I buy you jello and an apple?

"Lucas!"

Farah and Lucas stiffened in their seats at the deep voice of the teacher from the front. The navy haired boy turned around in his seat and stared at the angry scowl of the teacher at the front. "Care to explain why you are talking during my lecture?"

"Eh...um, no sir. Sorry!"

Farah felt another sense of relief when he kept his body turned forward. She was happy that the teacher came to her rescue. Farah glanced around at the other children with their notebooks open and pencils out. A few were writing away while others were goofing off. Farah remembered what Phoenix said and brought out her own notebook and pencil to look studious.

Farah bent in her desk to open her bookbag. When she sat back up with her utensils in hand, she noticed a folded up paper sitting on her desk. She looked around confused before opening it up.

"If you say yes to being my girlfriend, I'll get you jello, an apple, and a candy bar! Say yes! Please!" -Lucas

Farah continued to stare at the sloppy handwriting on the paper before glancing up. She wasn't surprised to see Lucas staring back at her once more in his seat. He smiled again and sent an invisible kiss her way before turning back around.

Farah groaned silently. "Phoenix didn't say anything about this happening.."

The bell loudly rang throughout the classroom. Farah flinched in her seat and looked around in panic at the loud blaring sound. She was expecting to see other silently freak out, but everyone was the complete opposite. If anything, they appeared happy.

When Farah saw the young children get up and start running out of their seats towards the door, Farah concluded that class was finally over.

"Phoenix lied! This stupid class took forever and there was so much that stupid teacher taught me that I couldn't keep up. And there's a text next week on this stuff! I'm going to get a bad grade on it and then-oh wait...why am I worrying about it? Mommy and Daddy are going to get me out of here before next week. I'm sure of it."

Farah started to smile as she packed her pen and notebook. She tried to write a few notes but most of it was filled with drawings instead. Farah zipped up her black book bag and moved to walk towards the exit, but she was stopped by the navy blue haired boy.

"Oh, crap...I forgot about him."

The boy named Lucas smiled at Farah. His smile was sweet and he was not a bad looking kid, but Farah was not interested in the least. Besides, what would her mother and father say if she were to tell them that she had a boyfriend?

"So, did you think about my offer?" He asked nervously.

Farah walked passed him, hoping that ignoring him would work, but it didn't seem that would be the case.

He noticed her walking and quickly followed after her, still talking. "Hey, what's your name by the way?"

Farah turned around a small scowl of annoyance on her face. "My name is Farah. Can you leave me alone? I don't want to be your girlfriend."

Lucas frowned at her response. His vibrant blue eyes seemed to have dim after hearing the denial. He glanced down at his feet and slumped his shoulders. "Oh..ok, that's ok. I get that a lot anyway...I guess..I'll see around then..maybe...I don't know.."

Farah stared as Lucas started to slowly walk past her and towards the door. Farah groaned inwardly as she stared at his depressing stature walking off. She bit at her thumb, debating on talking to him again or cheer him up. If her mother was in this situation, she would let the kid walk on without even batting an eye, but the kindness of her father was pushing her to talk to him again.

"Darn it!"

"Um, Lucas is your name..right?"

The boy stood up straight when he heard Farah speak. He turned around and nodded his head.

Farah crossed her arms over her small chest as she stared at the ground. She had a light blush on her cheeks as she forced herself to speak to him. "Um, well, I can't be your girlfriend but I don't mind being your friend..."

Lucas immediately grinned. His moping behavior seemed gone. He eagerly nodded his head as he walked back towards Farah.

Farah took a step back when she realized that he was very very close and kept staring right at her. It made her uncomfortable. She blushed even harder. "If we're going to be friends then you have to stop staring at me, ok?"

"Oh! Sorry!" Lucas turned his gaze on something else but he kept his smile. "You're just really, really pretty! I think you're the only blonde in the class."

Farah stayed silent. "Weeeeird!"

The classroom door opened as a fiery red head peeped inside to stare at the nearly empty classroom.

Farah felt relieved when she saw Phoenix's face. "I have to go now, bye."

Lucas stared as Farah ran towards the door. He grinned and waved his hand. "Bye! Let's sit together at lunch!"

Farah dashed out the classroom door and slammed it behind her. She sighed tiredly as she slowly slid to the floor.

Phoenix had her arms crossed as she stared down at the toddler. "Is that your boyfriend or something?"

Farah stiffened in her spot on the floor. She shook her head. "No! Ew! Boys are gross."

Phoenix chuckled. "That blush on your face says otherwise." She pointed to Farah's still red face.

Farah brought her hands to her chubby cheeks as she felt the warmness in them. "Stop it! Can we go now? I don't want to hang around here anymore!"

Phoenix started walking down the hallways for Farah to follow after. "Oh calm down, you drama queen."

Farah gripped the strips to her book bag as she continued to walk. "How many classes do I have left?" "Please tell me that was the last class."

"In a normal schedule, you would take about 6 more classes," Phoenix said.

"Six!? With mommy, there's one then I can have fun with my toys."

"But your schedule is different." Phoenix continued, getting Farah's attention. "Instead of going to other classes, you're going straight to the gym to meet up with Headmaster Blood."

"I don't want to see that old man."

"Show some respect," Phoenix said demandingly as she glanced back into the eyes of the toddler.

Farah rolled her eyes. "Why? He's not that great."

The two reached an elevator that was located at the end of the hallway. Phoenix pressed the button, opening the double doors. They stepped in and set for the basement level where the gym rooms were in.

Farah stood silently next to Phoenix. She had a clue as to why she didn't have a normal schedule like the other students, but she wondered if Phoenix knew. Farah guessed that she didn't, but should she tell her? If she were to tell Phoenix, would she help her in escaping? "No, she's not going to help me. She seems like a big rule follower. I bet she's a teacher's pet in her class."

The elevator came to a ding when they reached the lower levels of Hive Academy. The doors opened and the girls walked out.

Farah stared at the numerous rooms that held gym equipment and training dummies. Farah stared in awe when she came across a room with window like walls, giving her perfect view inside the training room. Farah debated on calling it a room as it seemed like an alternate universe. Inside was what seemed like a large field with fresh grass that seemed to go on for miles. Inside, were teenage students fighting mechanical targets and other weapons coming their way. The windows were soundproof as explosions and other metals came apart from the teenagers' powers, but Farah didn't hear anything on the outside of the room. Farah stared up at the control panel and noticed a person talk a bit then press something on the control panel, changing the environment completely to a place that was similar to a desert and aiming more targets to the teenagers.

"Phoenix, is this really a gym?"

Phoenix turned her head to stare at the simulation room Farah was staring at. She nodded her head and kept on walking, unamused by the coolness. Being a student here for years, she saw almost every feature this school had to offer. "Yeah, that's the simulation room but also the testing room. This is where students can test their powers to the fullest in real life situations."

Farah continued to stare at awe at the flawless performance of the test takers. "I want to be able to fight like that with my powers," Farah whispered.

Phoenix heard the comment and snickered in Farah's direction. "What powers do you have?"

Farah stopped staring to look up at Phoenix. "Um, it's not much," Farah said softly. "I can turn into any animal that I want, and I have this new power where I can move stuff and heal people too, but I still don't know how they work or what I can really do with them, so I focus more on my animal powers."

Phoenix stared with impressed eyes. "Those are weird combinations, but they sound cool."

"What do you do?"

Phoenix smirked. "Guess."

Farah hummed in thought as she stared at Phoenix's features. "You don't seem to have many muscles so you're not strong," Farah said. Phoenix smirk fell slightly at the comment. Farah continued to stare. "I've never seen you levitate or float so you probably don't fly." Farah hummed again. "And you're smart, but you don't seem to be that smart.."

"Ok, kid. You just ruined the moment." Phoenix said with an annoyed tone at the insult.

Farah grinned in her spot at seeing the girl's response. She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. What do you do?"

Phoenix stood up straight and opened her palm. In seconds a ball of fire appeared, sitting smugly in her hand. She extended her palm even further, making the flames taller, shine brighter and burn hotter. She then closed her palm quickly, extinguishing the flame, leaving a smoke stream behind.

Farah stared with widened eyes and a gaping mouth. "Oh, that's so cool! You can control fire! Is that why your hair is so red?"

Phoenix smiled, feeling proud that she made managed to impress the toddler. "No. It's just a coincidence. My mother is redhead so I inherited her hair color."

Farah jumped in her in spot, fascinated and eager to see more. "Can you do it again?"

"Later." Phoenix said. "Right now, we have to get you to Headmaster before he becomes impatient.

Farah pouted as she started walking again."This is so cool. Everyone has powers here, and they learn to use them...I might be able to master my own powers."

The two stopped when they reached two double doors of a gym room. Phoenix opened them, letting Farah walk inside.

This room was much more simple compared to the other rooms Farah saw. The floor was a gold yellow patting with punching bags and a few weights on the far sides of the arena floor. It actually reminded Farah of the training room back at the Tower. Farah stared forward and noticed Blood standing proudly at the opposite side of the room, in loose training garments, ready to fight.

"Here she is, Headmaster Blood. Right on time."

Brother Blood smirked. "Ah, thank you, my darling. You didn't gain my star pupil status for nothing."

Phoenix blushed and smiled. "Thank you, sir. I will be back to take her to her room in two hours."

"Huh!?" Farah yelped. "No, Phoenix, don't leave me here with him!" Farah gripped to the leg of her overseer. She held on tightly, digging her nails into Phoenix's warm flesh.

"Stop it! You're going to train with him so that you can learn your powers. Quit being a baby!"

Farah pouted. "Don't leave me! I don't want to be here by myself."

Phoenix managed to pull her leg free and continued walking towards the exit. "Sorry, kid. Those are his orders. I'll be back to get you in no time." She walked out the doors, closing it behind her.

Farah frowned as she slowly turned her head back towards Brother Blood. He reached behind him and took out a folded pair of black training sweats. He tossed them towards Farah's direction. Farah stared at the clothes before glancing back up. She couldn't help but feel uneasy as she stared at his face. The atmosphere seemed completely different. From the looks of it, he wasn't in any playing mood as he seemed determined and serious. Farah didn't like this.

"Get dressed, child. There's so much to teach you in such little time.."
