Author's note: Sorry for the abrupt break! It started as "I really need a break" then went to "Eh, what's another week?" then went to "Crap! School!" Then went to "I like the Green Hornet. Let's do another fan fiction!" Then went to "Why does my computer want to work when it feels like it?" So, as you can guess, I've been all over the place. Sorry about that.
After dinner, we all split. I'm not sure what they decided to do, but I went to my room and lied down. Until Lal walked in.
"Forget it. I'm not training right now." I complained as I rolled over.
"Night security. There is no training." She answered.
"Then why are you here?" I asked as I sat up.
"Because you're confused. Nervous, cautious, curious, and such on. I figured you wanted answers." Lal asked.
I nodded. She was correct. "How long will I be here?"
"Depends. You could be here for one day, or twenty years, but our orders are to teach you how to use your flame energy. And you will remain here until you figure it out." Lal explained.
"Okay, what does my power allow me to do?" I asked.
She paused for a moment, "Depends on how you use it. Like any flame, you can use it for good or bad. You could destroy the world with it, or keep the world at peace with it." She answered.
I thought for a moment, "Well, what do I do?"
"Choose. If you were to join the Varia, which is the route they want you to take, I can almost guarantee you that their intentions are not good. You can choose your own road and make your own destiny, which can be either good or bad. You can join an organization like us, where your power will be used for only good." Lal answered.
I pondered for a second, then Lal started to leave, "Wait, one more question!"
She stopped and turned around, "What?"
"Why me?" I asked.
She thought for a moment, "That question has no answer. You have to find it yourself. You have gun training in the morning and controlling your flame in the afternoon. Go to sleep." She demanded as she left the room.
I lied back down and thought about what she said. There wasn't much to go on, but I know for sure that I should learn quickly and efficiently if I want to leave sooner.
Lal woke me up the next day. "Get up! I wait for no one!"
I opened my eyes and got up. "Okay, okay, I'll be out in a moment."
She leaves my room and I slump over to the closet, "What the…. Hell?"
My clothes were gone. All that was there were suits in the place of my clothes. I picked out a suit and threw the tie in the closet and put it on. I left the white button-up shirt un-tucked and the coat unbuttoned. At least they were nice enough to leave me a pair of jeans. I left my room, and Lal was waiting for me.
"Where are my clothes?" I asked her.
"You won't need those rags. We gave you new clothes." Lal answered.
What is it with people and re-dressing me to fit in with everybody there?
