Chapter 4:
Everyone was eating there food, and making some small talk. Shan Ying wanted to get everyone talking more. So she decided to get the ball rolling more.
"So, I know about each of your powers, girls. Which are quite impressive", Shan Ying implied. "But, from what the Halinor tells me, you girls also have a team name for yourselves."
"Here we go.", James groaned. "I don't think they want to go over that, while eatting, dear."
"Oh, I don't mind!", Hay Lin said happily.
"Then by all means.", James said.
"Well, you see, if you take the first letters of our first names, and arrange then right, you get W.I.T.C.H.!", Hay Lin explained happily. "But most people call us Guardians."
"Or, 'The Guardians'.", Will joked in a deep voice, getting a laugh out of most people.
And by most, that means all but Angelo. James saw this and decided to go to the boys with a question or two.
"I heard from Luba, that you boys were superheros of your world.", James implied.
"Yeah! We did our thing, back in the day!", Marcus said proudly. "I was known as Quick Step, for my super speed!"
"What about the rest of you?", Shan Ying asked.
"I was known as Solar Bullet.", Sam proclaomed. "And when I fly at great speeds, with my energy field around myself, I'm almost untouchable."
"They called me, Mind Burst.", Malcom replied. "I have the three of the basic psychic powers. I can read minds, move things with my mind and can start fires with my mind. But, I try not to use them unless I have to."
"Very responsible of you.", James said.
"I'd have to use them for some fun every once and awhile.", Shan Ying said grinning.
"And that's why I'm glad you don't have those powers.", James grinned, earning a laugh from everyone.
"Party popper!", Shan Ying said before sticking her tongue out at her husband. "What about you Leonas? What's your ability?"
"Well, they called me Loinheart.", Leonas said proudly.
"What were your powers?", Shan Ying said.
"Well,.........."
Leonas stopped when he looked at Irma, who was looking down at her plate trembling a bit as he was about to tell about his powers.
'Is she that scared of me?', he asked himself mentally.
"Is something wrong, Leonas?", James asked.
"No. It's just that I don't really feel like going into what I can do right now.", Leonas explained as he looked at the still trembling Irma.
"Well, you don't have to if you don't want to.", Shan Ying said as she also noticed Irma trembling. "How about you, Angelo. Feel like sharing?"
"I was known as Solar Wing.", Angelo said. "With the light from the sun and moon, I have some super strenght and speed. Wings of energy, for flight, electro-solar energy power, and a pretty good healing factor. With these powers, I kick all kinds of butt!"
"Until you got 'your' butt caught by the army.", Will mumbled under her breath.
Angelo, hearing that, decided to have a little fun.
"And it took all five Guardians from my world, plus five whole platoons to do it.", Angelo bragged. "Boy, did it take them awhile to do it. The only thing that took me down was a Dark Matter Stone Blaster they made."
"Angelo.", Marcus said in a 'watch it' tone.
"I'm just telling what happened.", Angelo said before sipping his lemonade.
"And yet with your great power, you were still taken down.", Will said before taking a bite out of her hot dog.
"And I'm surprised that you didn't think of teleporting away from the army when you were ambushed.", Angelo replied calmly as he ate his burger.
Will the clenched her fist as small sparks of electricity flew around her hair.
"At least I don't get weak around a stupid black stone.", Will said with a smirk.
Angelo, in turn, started to glow a bit with energy.
"This from a girl who didn't have any 'real' powers when she first became a Guardian.", Angelo grinned.
The girls then moved from Will, while the guys moved from Angelo.
"You're not as tough as you think you are, Vanders!", Will snapped jumping to her feet.
"Put your money where your mouth is, Vandom!", Angelo snapped back as he jumped up from his seat.
"Both of you calm down!", James said. "There's no need for you two to fight!"
"He's right, Will.", Hay Lin said putting her hand on her shoulder. "He's not 'that' Angelo."
"And she's not 'that' Will, Angelo.", Leonas said. "Just like you told me that I shouldn't hate the Irma here because of what the Irma in our world did to me. Remember?"
The girls then looked from Leonas to Irma, who was just as shocked at what Leonas said.
'What did their Irma do to him?', she asked herself.
'Why don't you ask him.', Taranee suggested to Irma mentally.
Angelo then took a few deep breaths, as the glow faded from him.
"Thanks, Leonas.", Angelo said as he stepped back from everyone.
Angelo then clapped his hands together and in a flash of light, transformed his clothes into his Solar Wing costume. He had on black pants, with a white belt, white boots. A white long sleeve shirt with a black tank-top with a symbol of white wings on the sun over the shirt. On his wrist he had gold wrist bands. His energy wings then came from out of his back.
"I need some time to myself.", Angelo said as he put his mask on. "I'll be back. And don't come looking for me, guys."
"Do your thing man.", Sam said as Angelo/Solar Wing flew off.
"Well, this went well.", James said as they watched Solar Wing fly off.
"Maybe it was to soon to do this Bar-B-Q.", Shan Ying said.
"No. It was a great cookout.", Malcom said. "It's just that, Angelo is kind of still hurting after what happened between him and the Will of our world."
"Not that I care, but what did happen between them?", Will asked.
"Remember when he said that it was a Dark Matter Stone Blaster that took him down?", Sam asked.
"Yeah.", Will said remembering what Angelo said.
"Who do you think gave the military the Dark Matter Stone in the first place.?", Marcus asked looking at Will.
Will had a look of shock on her face when she realised what happened to Angelo.
"You mean the 'me' of your world gave the army the Dark Matter Stone Angelo had her hold for him?!", she asked fearing the answer.
"Wait! You had a Dark Matter Stone too?!", Sam asked.
"Well, the Angelo, of our reality, gave it to me just in case he was brainwashed into being bad, or if someone with the same weakness as him was causing trouble.", Will explained. "But, I never thought of using it against him. Even after all that's happened!"
"Maybe you should tell him that.", Marcus said. "If you leave now, you may be able to find him."
"Try looking near that bridge where the train goes by.", Sam said. "He goes there to cool off, when he needs to. And if this world is like our world, it should be there."
"It's there.", James replied.
"I think I'll teleport there.", Will said as she pulled out the Heart. "Here goes."
Will then held the Heart close and focused her power. Then, in a flash of light, she vanished.
"Amazing how that little stone can bring out our hidden powers like that.", Taranee said.
"You think they'll be able to patch things up?", Marcus asked his brother.
"No idea.", Malcom said. "I can't see the future."
"I can sometimes, and I don't even know.", Hay Lin said.
"We'll just have to wait and see.", Shan Ying said. "I have to say, that seeing what Angelo and Will can do was quite exciting."
"Please.", James said. "We've seen all kinds of things when we went to different world in our youth, Shan Ying."
"True. But, it's still excitting.", Shan Ying said.
"Wait! You two used to travel to different worlds?!", Cornelia asked in amazement.
"Why do you think the Oracle asked us to take you in?", Shan Ying questioned. "We've been helping fight to protect the different worlds like you all have been doing in your realities."
"So, got any good stories?", Sam asked sitting down at the table.
"Well, there was this one time..........", Shan Ying began to tell.
As Shan Ying told her tale, Leonas got up to go use the bathroom. Irma saw him leave and was about to follow, but was to scared to do so.
"You'll never be able to talk to him until you face your fear of him.", James said as he sat next to her.
"I know, but..........", Irma began to say.
"You're afraid from something that happened in your world that involved the Leonas there.", James said cutting her off. "But remember, this Leonas went through something with the Irma of his world. And he's trying to get over it. Maybe you can help each other."
"Maybe.", Irma said thinking about it.
"You'll never know until you try.", Shan Ying said.
"Irma, Irma, Irma!", everyone shouted cheering her on.
"Okay guys!", Irma said getting up. "I'm going. I'm going already."
"Irma, Irma, Irma!", everyone continued cheering.
"Alright already!", she grinned as she went in the house.
"Think she'll be okay?", Hay Lin asked.
"This is Irma we're talking about.", Cornelia said. "She'll be just fine."
As Irma walked towards the closest bathroom, where Leonas may be in, she was think about what she would do when he came out.
'What do I say to him?', she thought to herself. 'After all that's happened, can I really face him? And why do I feel so weird around him? Is it fear or something else?'
As Irma made her way to the bathroom, Leonas was in the bathroom washing his hands, thinking about things. Well, mostly about the Irma that was here, and why she was so scared of him.
'What did the Leonas of her world do to her?', Leonas thought to himself. 'Whatever it was, she's still freaked about it all. I just wish she wouldn't get so scared when ever she sees me. I don't get like that when I come around her.'
Leonas then dries his hands and opens the bathroom door to leave. Once he opens the door, he comes face to face with Irma.
A/N: First, Angelo and Will get into it, now Irma is face to face with Leonas. How will it all turn out?
