The Gasman walked down the hall, being the restless little eight year old mutant he was. Max was out on a date with some boy she met at school, Fang and Iggy were in the living room playing poker, Nudge was watching What Not to Wear, and Angel was probably outside playing with Total. Just as he was about to turn around he passed Angel and Nudge's room and heard quiet crying

"Angel? What's wrong?" he asked as he opened the door to see his sister curled up on the bed with Celeste, tears flowing down her face.

"Oh Hi Gazzy." She says looking up at her brother "I was just…thinking."

"'Bout what?" he asks.

"About how I don't like my name." she said. The Gasman gave her a questioning look and with a sigh she added, "Nudge and I were talking about our names and….we looked up the meanings. The name Angel means someone who is pure, sweet, and loving."

"And….?"

"Gazzy!" Angel said with a small laugh, "Don't you get it? I'm no angel."
