(Hestia's POV) -Late that night-

I sat on the cliff outside town, my flames calmed as the wind caressed my upper body. It was true peace yet…it wasn't enough. I couldn't explain it but around others, my walls were constantly up and I never let anyone know much about me. However, around the green hawk…he phased through those walls and eased the pain away. After years of torture and pain from others as well as my parents, as well as wounds from rescuing others, only one person was able to just make it…go away.

Slowly, the ends of my beak curled into a smile at the thought of Jet. His deep blue eyes, emerald feathers and his-

"You should be more careful next time" I heard the voice of my accomplice. "A purple swallow got a picture of you and it looks like it's from a security cam."

Sighing, I stood up and faced the black crow, "Fala, it was a mistake. I did not pose nor did I intend to me photographed."

The brown-eyed female tore the paper with my face printed on it, "You're just lucky that I'm a genius and I deleted the footage of the incident from every camera in the area." she smiled proudly.

"Thank you, Fala, is there any news I had missed?" I asked as she handed me the shreds so I could burn them.

"I'm aplying for college but I lost one of the papers, Mr. Hot-legs saved a kid from getting ran over and people think that every time you saved someone, it was really him!" she explained.

"Who is Mr. Hot-legs?" I asked.

"You know, Sonic, I call him Hot-legs since I can't call him Hotwheels cuz he doesn't use wheels?" she raised an eyebrow at me as I understood.

She gave me a strange look, "What's wrong with your…you met a guy, didn't you?" she smiled at me.

"Yes, his name is Jet" I never lied her.

"The hawk you saved? What's he like?"

"Green, broken leg, burned shoulders with claw mar-" she interrupted me.

"I meant: Do you like him?"

"Hmm, I am not sure if I am attracted to him. However, he is kind and very well at listening to me." I had to think.

(Wave's POV)

I was sitting at home, thinking. Storm was out, looking to race the red echidna named Knuckles while I was just sitting here. Jet told me that a girl came to his room one night and that he liked her a lot. I missed Rouge and yet, I hated her. She was the one woman that made the hurting vanish until she was the one that brought it back. Every time she told me she loved me, was she just lying to me so she could stay with me.

I almost didn't notice tears slipping from my eyes until they dripped down onto my hands. Look at me, I was crying like a little baby! With pure anger in my eyes, I yanked on my gloves and dashed out with my Extreme Gear. I was going so fast that I almost forgot to pull down my goggles. To others, I appeared as a purple blur racing through town as fast as lightning in the night.

Finally, I had reached the back with a large safe of safety deposit boxes. Even the people that led me to the safe kept a distance from me to be safe. I pulled my box out of the wall and set it down on the table. Someone walked in but I ignored that person as I violently opened my box.

"Hey, um, you're to woman I bumped into yesterday, right?" I heard a familiar voice.

My head whipped upward to see the black crow with rectangular glasses.

'No, she shouldn't be here!' I thought.

"Yeah, I'm Wave" I closed the box to conceal what was in it.

"Fala Black" she shyly held out her ebony feathered hand.

With hesitation, I shook her hand but she jumped practically a foot of the ground a loud sound. I glanced towards the door; it was closed and locked! I just stared at it with my jaw dropped but it turned into a wince soon.

"Fala?"

"Hmm?" she looked at me, everyone of her muscles tight.

"You're crushing my hand" I managed to force a smile.

Realizing her grip on my hand, she released it and apologized, blushing. She looked so cute when she was embarrassed. Mentally, I shook myself as I headed toward the door. I banged my fists on it and yelled for help. After about ten minutes, we slowly realized that we would be stuck here until morning.

(Well, that's all I got for now, see ya soon!)
