Mutant
"I was five and I accidentally burned my brother, Tom," Amelia 'Ami' Oshiro began.
The sun began to set on the school's courtyard, an array of clouds showing their evening tinge.
Tadashi was also a mutant, and he had the power of restoration. The power to heal. Many young mutants came to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Tadashi saw how close Ami and Tom were and it reminded him of Hiro. Both their brothers were also mutants, Hiro having super-intelligence and Tom having super-speed. After bonding over that, they got to know each other more.
"After that, I was afraid to get close to anyone." Her leather gloved hand was soon in a fist. "The professor said what we have is a gift... What kind of gift turns everyone you love away from you? It's like I'm set to destroy everything in my way..."
Here was this powerful woman who had so much strength. She had so much goodness in her heart, and she didn't see it. She was so much more than destruction.
"I think your powers are amazing."
"You... you do?"
She had this fire inside of her, no pun intended. When she walked through the door, the room lit up, and she didn't even have to shoot any fire at all.
"Yeah, I mean... All I do is heal. What am I gonna do, heal the guy in front of me to death? He'd kill me first. I can't shoot fire or ice or anything out of my hands, but I think you're beautiful, Ami..."
She turned to look at Tadashi. His eyes widened. What was he even saying?
"I... I mean your powers are beautiful, Ami. When you shoot fire out of your hands... it's beautiful."
The air between them suddenly got dense very fast.
He should stop talking all together. What on earth made him say those words in the first place? A smile was soon on her face. His insides warmed and tightened at the same time.
Even her smile was somewhat fiery. "Thank you..."
