Gizelo: -she closes her eyes holding her tears in. Gizelo keeps her knees close as Cedric hugs her. She tries to go to her imaginative land, Magnia-
(I guess it's time for flashbacks then!)
Cedric: *as he stays with Gizelo, Cedric thinks of her struggle, and remembers his own...*
-----flashback-----
*two years after Camille and Cedric discovered their powers, they had kept them a secret from their parents. Not that they cared anyway; they weren't with them enough to know of their children's lives... The siblings had been training, improving their control and versatility*
Camille: *the two of them are sparring in an abandoned area near the American Embassy* Cedric, go! *she shoots fire streams at Cedric*
Cedric: *unable to react in time, Cedric tries to wash the streams away, but is burned by his sister's attack* OWWWW!!!! AHHH!!! *he falls to the ground, his arms with moderate burns*
Camille: -sigh- Cedric, come here... *she runs up to him. Touching his arms, she removes the charred areas and immediate heat and pain by absorbing the heat from the wounds back into her body*
Cedric: *crying a little in pain* -sniff- sis, you're so strong! But look what I can do now! *Cedric liquifies his hands, showing Camille his developing healing powers. He grins at her, teary eyed, but hoping for her approval*
Camille: *she smiles warmly* very cool. I suppose you were paying attention all those times I've healed your burns?
Cedric: of course!!
Camille: Cedric... We've been blessed with such abilities... I just wished we didn't need to hide them from everyone. We could be like those superheroes we used to watch on TV! *she thinks about the idea for a moment*
Cedric: mhm... Mhm... *they both get up, dusting each other off* are we done for today, sis? I'm hungry!
Camille: alright, let's go. *they begin walking* Cedric, there are others like us around the area... I've had some of them approach me... Talking about some mutant organization called The Brotherhood.
Cedric: *pouts* but sis, doesn't that mean you can't join? You're a girl!
Camille: no, silly! It's just a name. There are plenty of girls in it too! You know? I hear they aren't afraid to show how special they really are! They don't hide anything, and they have the freedom to do what they want. Doesn't that sound cool, Cedric?
Cedric: *beaming brightly* it does!! Wow, we should join!! We'll make lots of new friends, won't we?!
Camille: ... I agree, Cedric. But right now, we have to be careful... We can't get too conspicuous, or Mom and Dad might find out about the things we've been doing... So, like I always say, let's keep this our little secret for now, ok?
Cedric: *he comically salutes* yes sis! Yes ma'am!!
Camille: *chuckles again* come on. I'll make your favorite tonight back the embassy.
Cedric: *he gets super psyched* YAYYYY!!!!!!
*the two of them leave the abandoned building. Little do they notice, that a cloaked figure had been watching them the entire time...*
