Prologue~

Hope gazed stubbornly around the small containment area in which she and her friends had been put in, Hope had only wanted to go out flying without her mom hanging around, to prove she was a good leader and flyer. But now she and her five friends were stuck in a cage-thing.

Hope glanced at Raven; her twin sister was as quiet as their dad, and as comforting. At the moment, Raven was holding Violet in her arms, crooning softly so that the three-year-old wouldn't cry. Hope looked at Storm, her ten-year-old cousin on her mom's side. Storm looked lost, but was sitting next to a very disconcerted Robbie, who had no idea what was happening. A lot like Violet. Violet was also her cousin, on her mom's side. Her mom had a twin and a younger sister. Twins must run in the family, thought Hope as she glanced at her own twin Raven. C.J wasn't much better; he was clinging to Hope's side trying not to cry.

Hope wouldn't blame C.J if he cried, she felt on the verge of tears too. Even though C.J and Robbie weren't related to her by birth, they still felt like family.

"Well, what do we have here?" a woman in a white coat said. Hope flinched, her mom and dad had told her stories of the Whitecoats, and Hope was terrified that the stories were true.

"Children, the break in the space-time continuum must have done more damage than we thought." A man said, peering into the cage. Hope glared at him the way her mom did to her dad when they occasionally argued.

"They are avian-humans, so maybe they can help us get those blasted runaway experiments once and for all." The woman said, smiling at Hope and her friends.

"Alright, tell me if it works." The man said, walking out. Hope watched him leave and glanced back at her friends. Raven was clutching Violet close. Storm held Robbie's hand and C.J was still clinging to Hope's side.

"Hello little ones, who are your parents?" the woman asked in a kind and sweet voice. Hope had learned that the saying 'Stranger Danger' was true, but Violet seemed to want to say something.

"Mommy says we shouldn't talk to strangers." Violet said, inching away from Raven, who struggled to pull her back. Of all of them, Violet was the most curious.

"Well I'm a nice stranger." The woman said. It was Robbie who answered.

"My mom says there aren't any nice strangers." Robbie said, his big dark eyes blazing with fear.

"Well, that's not true, some of us are nice, now who are your parents?" the woman said.

"You don't need to know." Hope snapped. She was scared, but she and learned that if you could portray confidence, sometimes it would come to you. Hope's mom had taught her that.

"Listen kid-" the woman started. But Storm got up and shot a bolt out of his hands, the woman was knocked back. Storm smirked.

"And this is why I am awesome." Storm said proudly. Hope sighed but looked at her cousin.

"Okay, can you zap the door?" Hope asked, Storm nodded gleefully. He lifted up his hands and aimed them at the door. Hope's mom had told her that some of them might get extra abilities. Storm could make lightning come out of his hands, Raven seemed to know strange things, and Violet could hear your thoughts. Hope hadn't gotten any abilities yet. She hoped that she would soon.

"One door zapped." Storm said, stepping back. Hope walked up and pushed it open. The woman lay passed out on the ground, which Hope could relate to. When Storm had first discovered his powers, he had accidentally zapped Hope.

Hope walked out of the door and gestured with her hand for the others to follow. They had to be quick and silent. One lesson all of them had received, when caught, get out as fast as you can. As the six of them walked through the hallway, Raven stopped; Hope stopped as well, and went over to her sister.

"raven, what's wrong?" Hope asked, Raven pointed up. Hope followed her sister's finger. There was a trap door. Not big enough to fly through of course, but they could lift each other out and help the last person standing.

"You are epic!" C.J said, grinning, Raven shrugged.

"Alright, let's get out of here." Hope said to her companions.
