Summary: They are young and strong but somehow they still need to find where they belong. A new generation of the KND begins. Sacha Vladimiri Lee spoke through action.
Author's Notes: Part 2 of 10. The MIKA song and an article about indigo children (Google it, it'd take too long to explain here) inspired this.
Lee always wears a navy blue shirt, with a loud orange stripe that seems to proclaim his presence to the world, but it's never like that at all. When he first moves to Tacoma (tah-coh-mah, Russian infliction on every syllable) he is afraid to talk and be laughed at, so he doesn't.
His grandmamma back in Russia once showed him a baby bird fallen from the nest.
"Anren," she had said, "a baby bird will always learn to fly, even if it has to fall first."
He meets four children (three boys, one girl) who need to learn to fly and he is worried that they never will. When they ask him to go to the Arctic which is so heartbreakingly close to home to learn to be what he knew as the Deti Po Sosedstvu he says yes.
"KIDS NEXT DOOR RULE, sir!"
He is certain that he knows to fly until Sonya Powell saves him from the grip of a man twice his size and triply mean.
"We're equals," she says.
"Cool," he gave her a smile. "Equals."
