The gang waited in Mr Lee's office, he had said he was bringing someone into the group but didn't mention if it was male or female.

"Where is he? He's late!" Lioness said, she was getting a little inpatient these days the guys didn't know why but suddenly she would just snap at them and would later act like nothing was wrong with her.

"Lioness he is only like 5minutes late I'm sure he has a reason." said Shark.

Lioness sighed and walked out of the room.

"What's her deal!" hawk shouted he too was angry with her behaviour.

"Yeh sometimes she would just snap at us and then she would be all cheerful like a twisted freak." King said with a little bit of annoyance in his voice.

"Guys just leave it." said Axel and he stood up and strode towards the door.

"whe-" Shark said at last but was shushed by Axel.

He slowly looked out the door looking if Lioness was listening but he found her sitting by the door on the floor her eye brows scrunched up her heart was aching.

"So that's what you guys really think of me huh?" she said her voice low making it sound deep.

But Axel kept quiet.

"I can't believe this!" and she got up and walked into the room where the rest of the guys were, she sat in the corner of the room her head in her hands.

"I see they are already waiting" Mr Lee said as he walked into the room the team were waiting in. "Hello team, well this is your new team mate, His new name is-"

"Edward Thompson known as Eddie or high school jerk and local heart-breaker!" Lioness said her yellowish greenish eyes filled with hatred.

"Cat, Catalina Leone wow haven't we grown!" Eddie said

Lioness did a sarcastic laugh and her face turned solid.

"There's no way I can get you out of my life is there?" Lioness said, her mind flashing back to past events.

"Oh common it was just mindless fun." he said smiling showing his good looks.

"Everything is just a joke to you isn't it, you never take anything seriously, all because of you my twin sister died and you start giving me all this bull about mindless fun, do me a favour and stay out of my way!" She screamed unshed tears running down her eyes "actually no stay out of MY LIFE" she ran out of the room her heels clicking the freshly polished floor. "I'm going home join me if you want!" she called out.

After Lioness had gone it took at least 2 minutes before a conversation started.

"What's today's date?" Eddie asked.

"12th of January, why you guys had history?" Shark asked, he had never seen Lioness cry. Well guess there's a first time for everything right.

"Holy Shit this time 2 years ago Lioness' sister died!" Eddie said the tone of his voice solemn.

"No wonder she was acting like a real Bitch these days!" said King.

"Come on team lets get home" said Axel who gestured for the team and Eddie to follow him.

At home Lioness was in the living room she sat there cross legged, she was in a dark green tank top and white jogging pants on her top said 'star'. She was watching a movie called 'Aquamarine' but decided to cook dinner ready for the guys she made spaghetti bolognaise as she was putting them on six plates she heard the door knob rattling so she went to the living room. She saw the guys laughing with their new team mate so she just went to the dining table and sat down and started eating.

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnn what is that delicious aroma!" King said as the group walked into the dinning room.

"Well this looks delicious don't it guys." Shark said, he was trying to make Lioness look up but she didn't.

"Ok guys dig in!" King said trying to change the subject.

"So… Cat-"Eddie said but was cut off by Lioness.

"Lioness" she said and got up threw away her food.

"Oooooooooo what you did really hurt her!" Hawk said "That's her favourite food."

"I'll go talk to her." Axel said getting up from is seat and heading for Lioness' room.

She heard a soft knock on her door.

"Go away." She said "please." her voice sounding like a frightened child.

"Look Lioness I'm coming in if you like it or not." He said and walked in, he saw her sitting in a corner of her room her face tear stained hair messy framing her face.

"What do you want?" she said not turning her gaze from the floor. Even when Axel's shadow was there.

"Lioness are you ok?" he asked "You can tell me anything if you want I won't mind you know."

"You would never understand Axel trust me, no one can understand what I'm going through." She said gently moving her head to him, he could see the hurt in her eyes it was deep though really deep.

"If you do wanna talk I'm just you know next door." he winked at her then he turned to leave.

"Please stay." she said she sighed. "Look here's what happened, you see when I was 15 I and my older twin sister went out to the cinema, we met Eddie there, at the time he was my sister's boyfriend he was every girls fantasy and dream. One night, my sister wasn't home by curfew, I and the family went out to look for her, I was crossing the road when a car headed straight for me fortunately for me I was an expert in martial arts so I jumped out of the way, the car quickly braked having seen a car was in front of him, I found Eddie was drinking and driving and my sister was in the passenger seat, unfortunately for her she went into a coma and after 2 months died doctors had no idea why though so I swore never to forgive Eddie for what he did to me ever." she said her tears flowing easily down her cheeks her sobs becoming louder every moment.

"I am so sorry I didn't know." Axel said he offered her a hand and she took it, he let her cry on his shoulder for a few minutes until her sobs became slower and silent, he looked over his shoulder and realised she was asleep. He carried her unto her bed and pulled the covers over her as if nursing a little child, he kissed he soft cheek and left for his own room.

-alarm-

"Morning guys" she said as she walked into the kitchen that morning. She was a lot happier than before.

"Morning sunshine!" Eddie said he was trying to make her forgive him.

"Good morning Edward how are you today!" said Lioness, this made the rest of the guys extremely surprised including Eddie, they were sure she would slap him or something.

"Err lioness are you feeling ok?" Shark said feeling her forehead.

"Course I am, what made you think that silly." she replied.

"Because we were sure you would have ripped his head off." King said.

"Yeah oh well." she said in a casual way.

-beep-

-beep-

"Mr Lee you called?" Axel said

"Yes there was a robbery at the local museum, on the security tapes we saw Paine taking the golden amulet, it was said it had special powers to wipe out the whole world, it was kept by 2 guardians but 1 guardian is said to be dead so it was turned into the museum hoping it would be safe. I'll send you the co-ordinates."

"Thanks we'll be on our way." said Axel. "Team Gear it up!"

"Oooo look what the cat dropped in!" Spidah said.

"Don't touch what you can't afford hunny!" Lioness said.

"Getting fasty are we!" tutted Spidah his eyes scanning her body hungrily, he had always felt different about her.

"Do you even know the meaning of that word!" she said and kicked him where it hurt.

"Ouch! That HURT BITCH!" he screamed he fell flat on his face.

"Too bad little Spidah looking for mummy awwwww too bad she left the building!" she said and looked over him. She walked away from him after a while to look for the rest of the team.

-meanwhile-

"Flesh you did the wrong thing at the wrong time!" yelled King. He punched Flesh in the face and did a back kick hitting flesh in the back and in less than a second Flesh was on the floor.

-again meanwhile-

"Get away from the amulet Paine or face the consequences!" Axel shouted he was not going to let Paine get away with the amulet.

"Make me Manning" Paine shouted back.

"FINE!" Axel said and headed towards Paine, but he was grabbed by the head by Paine, Paine relinquished pain unto Axel, until he felt a pat on his shoulder.

"get off him or I shall make you!" Lioness said getting in a fighting stance.

Paine immediately flung Axel and got ready for Lioness.

"This is child's play." said Paine.

"So why are you playing it!" Lioness said .

Lioness really needed the amulet back she had a feeling it was her destiny.

Paine reached for her head but she put her hands in front of her to protect her but a shield appeared.

"What the fuck?" she whispered this had never happened.

Axel was beginning to wake up he too saw the shield, he couldn't believe it.

Lioness then began to change her eye colour turned hazel her hair out of the pack her top changed in to a green top with a white outline and her bottoms changed into a white mini skirt with a green outline she was also wearing white heels.

Just as all that happened the rest of the group: King, Shark and Hawk walked in to see this.

"Wow" was all every one in the room could say.

"Well ain't that nice she's one of the guardians, who woulda thought!" said Paine and then made a grab for Lioness' head. But somehow she blocked him, it was like she was using her mind to block it. She then flew up in the air and raised Paine and his goons out of the museum and dumped them into a nearby garage.

"MANNING!" screamed Paine.

Lioness then retrieved the amulet and beamed it somewhere she thought no one could find it.

"Wow, that was so cool!" Shark said he scanned Lioness thoroughly she was looking divine.

"Yeah totally!" said Hawk and King together.

"So… you're one of the guardians, you didn't tell us!" said Axel at last.

"Sorry but I didn't want anything to do with it since you know she died." Lioness said.

"You looked really good you know." Eddie said finally.

"Really you think, from you that's a compliment, anyway last four back have to go to the store!" and she made off as fast as lightning.

"Eddie, King, Shark and Hawk you have to go to the store. Ha!" said Lioness this left her and Axel to have some alone time.

"Cya don't get to friendly with each other while were gone!" said Eddie but this got him a slap across the face courtesy of Lioness.

"bye" with that she shut the door and made her way into the living room where Axel was waiting, they were going to watch a romantic comedy.

"right ok err lets get it started then shall we." she said and turned on the DVD player.

In the middle of the film Axel put his arm around her and she snuggled up to him. She looked up to see his face and saw his face moving close to hers, her heart was beating, she could hear it in her ears, she didn't know what to do so she let him lead, his soft lips touched hers and their tongues met , Axel deepened the kiss and wound his arms around Lioness' waist, his ands searching hungrily through her top, her hands holding on to him tightly not wanting to let go they both wanted more.
