Chapter 26

"...It was stupid and reckless! You could've been killed!" the reprimanding had been going on for almost an hour and a half now

'I don't think Aerrow appreciates not being the Hero' Blinx thought

"What in your right mind made you think it was alright to dive into a burning building?!"

Blinx stared up at him and suppressed the smirk that threatened to show itself. "Someone calling for help" she swore under her breath as his face changed colour, matching his hair.
It was at this point Piper spoke up "Aerrow, I fail to see how this is a problem"
Finn nodded "I hate to agree with Piper..." the scowl that was sent his way didn't go un-noticed "...but Blinx did save that guys life"
"I thought if anyone would be happy about this, it would be you" Blinx stated, her tone as-a-matter-of-factly.

"As punishment, you're gonna clean the entire carrier!"
everyone blinked in confused shock.

"Wait, wait, wait! You're punishing her for doing something good?!" Stork questioned, looking at Aerrow as if he'd grown three heads

'That blood vessel in his forehead could make it possible. I wonder why this is all such a problem?'

"You do realise that's not much of a punishment. I've been doing that, willingly, for a few weeks now!"
He faltered at her words.

The end result was her being locked in her room. Not that she minded much.
She'd spent most of her time in her quarters when she'd first met her sister and it just gave her more time to work on her powers.

She was currently seated on her bed, staring at her IPod willing it to appear in her hand, headphones and all. But nothing was happening.

'Maybe I need to start small...'
Her gaze moved around the room and focused on a pencil lying on the small desk.
She squared her shoulders and stared at it hard.

For another few minutes nothing happened. And then, a small puff of light blue smoke and there was a small amount of lead sitting in the palm of her hand.
She scoffed, but was pleased none the less.

Flicking the lead into the bin she focused again.

An hour later and nothing had happened. Her fury getting the better of her and rising so much so she could feel the heat.
She gave a frustrated scream and, instead of throwing it across the room, she surprised herself by throwing a fireball and scorching the desk, obviously there was nothing but ash where the pencil had once been.

There was a terrifying screech overhead, in the vents.
And so, using her powers, she pulled the cover off and jumped onto the desk peering in as Radarr started off down the straight, only to be pulled back by Blinx and her powers.
She sat down on her bed, keeping Radarr hovering in the air.

"What am I gonna do with you?"

He gave a curious yet scared squawk as she stared at him, trying to look menacing, but was overcome by his cuteness.

Giggling, she started to scratch his ear
"Don't worry Radarr, I'm not gonna do anything to you. As long as you don't tell anyone else! I've only just found out myself" he rolled his eyes and exhaled noticeably making her giggle again.

Her tone became serious though "I'm on the run from Cyclonia, Radarr. Can I rely on you to keep my secret?"

The little fuzz ball stared at her wide eyed and contemplative.
The desperation in her voice must have reached her eyes, because his eyes seemed to widen more so and his ears drooped slightly, but he nodded all the same. Blinx smiled and took and hold of him, putting him on her shoulder. He curled himself around her neck like a boa.

"Did you come to check up on me?"
he nodded to her happily
"Did Aerrow send you?"
he shook his head hurriedly, but chirped happily as she scratched his head again.
