Crazy Witchy story

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)
"You know we should all do?" Nerissa asked in her Susan disguise as she drove the others to the Silver Dragon while Halinor was driving Will and herself in her silver and red Maserati Spyder. Turns out Halinor's family had been pretty rich when she lived on Earth and since it had been in the bank collecting interest and she occasionally came to Earth and made some pretty good investments in the Stock Market… well… she and any children she may or may not have in the future would never need to worry about money that was for sure.
"What's that?" Hay-lin asked cheerfully, the other girls were still wary of their friends mother but if Will trusted her that was good enough for the Chinese teen.
"We should go introduce Caleb to his little sister. Well sure they've technically met each other already but he didn't know she was his baby sister. He was only a year old when she was born and I had been forced to spend most of my time on Earth." Nerissa said smiling sadly as she parked near the Silver Dragon, Halinor parking next it her in the handy cap spot so that Will didn't have to walk that far.
"Oh yeah…I just realized that Caleb's my brother…" Will said, having heard Nerissa's idea through telepathy.
"And you're supposed to be the smart one." Irma teased causing Will to look hurt for a second before masking it with a grin.
"Nah that's Candle. I'm the Tactician and brute force." Will said although Halinor, Nerissa, and Hay-lin noticed her brief look of hurt and frowned when the others didn't. Weren't they supposed to be friends? If so then how come they didn't notice how Irma's tactless remark had hurt Will?
"Why do you call Taranee 'Candle' anyways? I mean we call Hallie 'Phoenix'…" Nerissa asked as she held the door open for her daughter who hobbled into the restaurant with Halinor beside her in case she lost balance.
"Well when we first started out, Taranee managed to light everything else-even us and herself-on fire. Everything except for that one candle she was aiming for. Why do you call grandma Phoenix?" Will asked as Yan-lin led them upstairs so that the whole restaurant wasn't staring at them all the time.
"See it's like this. On our first mission we were trying to help the royalty of a planet fight off a large number of assassins. We were all doing pretty good except for Halinor. She hates fighting, even now, and therefore was in charge of getting the prince and princess-who were only three and five-to safety, and she did. The two didn't have a scratch on them thanks to her, but Hallie had been so focused on the kids that she hadn't noticed one assassin appear behind her about to skewer her with his sword. Kadma, the former Earth Guardian and someone who claimed Hallie was the whole universe to her, saw this and teletransported to just behind Hallie, taking the sword through her stomach just as Hallie turned around. Halinor caught Kat as she fell and tried her best to heal her but Kadma passed out and Halinor thought she had died. In a blind rage, Phoenix released as much as her powers as she could focused on one thing, revenge. There must have been about thirty flame animals and creatures, real and myth, that she created within a moment but the most dangerous one was her. She had managed to coat her whole body in blue flames until it resembled the shape of a phoenix. It took Kat regaining consciousness and hugging Hallie, somehow not being injured by the flames in the slightest, to calm the blond pyromaniac we call Halinor down enough for the fires to go out. We've called her Phoenix ever since." Nerissa explained causing Halinor to blush at all the disbelieving and shocked looks she was getting from the younger girls.
"They deserved it for hurting my Kitty Kat." Halinor said blushing slightly as she looked down, picking at the threads of her green blouse as she did so. Yan-lin and Nerissa busted out laughing at what Halinor said.
"Y-you actually get away with calling her that?!" Nerissa asked crying she was laughing so hard.
"She's my wife! I can call her whatever I want!" Halinor said defensively and causing her two old friends to stare at her shocked… although they were still snickering.
"You two actually married?!" Yan-lin asked grinning as she looked at Halinor.
"Yes just after we got the tattoos, although you two were either here on Earth heavily pregnant or was supposedly locked up on Mount Thanos." Halinor said blushing slightly darker as she played with a golden wedding band that no one had noticed on her hand.
"Hold up! You, miss scared of her own powers, and miss stubborn rock head actually got tattoos?" Nerissa asked causing Halinor to nod.
"I'm not scared of my powers and haven't been for the last thirty years, thank you very much. And yes we did get tattoos, both of them are on our backs. See?" Halinor said as she turned around and pulled up her shirt, moving her hair to the side as she revealed a dark green tattoo near the base of her spine. Nerissa and Yan-lin both broke out laughing again at what it said.
"You actually got a tattoo that says 'Kadma Starlighter was here' at the base of your spine?" Nerissa asked as she gasped for air, that's how hard she was laughing.
"So? Kat's says 'Property of Halinor Clarkson. No one else allowed to touch' across her abdomen." Halinor said defensively and only causing her two old friends to laugh harder.
"Not really helping your case there Grandma." Will said grinning and causing the blond woman to blush harder and look down. It took a moment or two for everyone to calm down before Cornelia asked the next question.
"So when are we gonna tell Caleb he has a little sister to protect now?"
