I do not own W.I.T.C.H.


Will was still trying to unclench her teeth as she walked away from the Sliver Dragon.

She was pissed! Chen-Lin and Joan-Lin nearly drove her up the wall! That woman was nearly as bad has her husband! Agh! Hell even Phobos wasn't that annoying! The thought of taking a chop stick and stabbing them in the eyes seemed like a really good plan...

Will growled as she stomped home. The fifty in her pocket didn't lighten her mood at all since it was only half of what she really earned.

A memory from earlier washed over her and cooled her mood. And it wasn't one of a possible ex-couple...

A cup.

It was of a cup.

They had closed up and she was cleaning the last table off. She had just wanted to go home so she piled everything on her tray. The feeling in her gut told her just to make two trips but her stressed mind was begging for the sweet release of home and it had won. So it should not of been that big of a shock when a glass cup slid off her tray.

It was like the awful part in a horror movie were everything was in slow motion as the monster rears its ugly head. Once the glass hit the floor the sound would bring in the Lin's (the monster). And Chen-Lin would start talking about how he knew she wasn't strong enough to carry the tray (the bloody massacre). And all she wanted was to go home. Home. Oh, how she wanted with every fiber of her being for it to stop falling. To stop falling and just get back on the tray intact with it's little dish buddies...

And it did.

It floated in the air as if hung from a string and slowly found it's way back on the tray.

The air conditioning unit told her he was impressed. She was to dumbfounded to do anything but stare.

It took Ms. Lin calling her name from the back to wake her from her daze. Once in the back she was annoyed to no end by the odd couple and the incident slipped her mind.

Yet now walking home she was at a lost for how she did that... was it a new power?

The walk home was a cold one and Will entertained the idea of using some magic to quicken the trip. Yet the walk was helping her calm down and with Matt waiting for her at her house she didn't need to be moody with him.

"Hey babe. You look a little lonely."

Will turned to the voice, ready to tell it off, only to find it wasn't talking to her but a women a few yards a head of her. The man talking was grinning as he leaned against his car.

"Well I'm not. As you can see I have my son here. So kindly kiss off."

Will blinked as she noticed a little boy trailing by her side as she pulled his hand. He looked with big eyes from the man to his mother and back. The young women had said everything in a kind voice so not to worry the boy but the look she gave the man was anything but.

"Hey, just saying the little man can't keep ya company all the time."

Seeing how she wasn't stopping he jump into the car (threw the bag she didn't notice at first in the back) and drove at a slow pace next to her.

"I can give ya a ride. No strings attach. Lets just talk for a bit."

Will looked to her left as her pasted a drug store and wonder if this was where the man came from.

"No. But thank-you." Will could see the effort the women was putting into not upsetting her son.

"Aw. Hey little guy you wanna ride don't you?"

Some part of Will told her he crossed a line because even Will's angered flared at him for talking to the kid.

"Don't you dare talk to him!" The women clenched her fist. "Piss off!"

"Mom?" The little boy's voice quivered.

Aw dang it! Will had to do something now!

Damn it! Why couldn't the asshole just hit the gas a drive himself home! Why is her night getting-!

Screet!

The sound of burning rubber startled Will as she grabbed her necklace ready for the unknown. To her surprise he just drove off. If he realized it was a hopeless conquest or what, she didn't know. Whatever the reason she was just glad he was gone. And from the sigh of relief the women in front of her made she knew she was too.

A nagging feeling still filled her...

'Fine! Freaking fine! I'll make sure she gets home safe.' She growled in her head.

Twenty minutes was all it took for the women to enter an apartment complex and for Will to change and teleport home to a sleeping Matt.

Sigh...

Guess no bonding tonight huh?
