Chapter 2:

"Are you alright...?" Charles asked cautiously.

Danny nodded slowly, her head was slightly looking down. "You know you don't need to worry, I'm here and you will stay with us-" She screamed in her mind, which made Charles stop talking, it hurt him. He felt her pain, all of it and so vividly.

Danny slowly looked at him, her eyes staring with a lot of focus. "Charles, I appreciate the...'pity'." She started. "But I don't need it." She was crying silently, wiping her tears with her shirt. "Danny," Charles reached out and hugged her. She was surprised he had done that. "I don't feel pity. I feel all your pain and sadness, it hurts me too." He said. Danny hadn't hug him back, but when he said that, she did. She held him tight.

She knew he wasn't just trying to act nice, he could feel her pain through his powers. "I'm s-sorry!" She sobbed harder. But Charles just smiled softly. "Don't worry. We'll be alright."

"Both of us, forever." He patted her back.

After that, things had been alright. Charles's parents had let her stay there since most of her other relatives were either dead or not really close to her.

The first few months had been weird; she was a millionaire since all the money her parents had was now hers and their company was being managed by close friends of her parents, but she was still the owner.

She hadn't sold her old house, she just started living in Charles's house. Sometimes she would cry at night, trying to not make any big noises. But still, Charles would always find her. He would get in bed and hug her until she stopped, both of them falling asleep there.

That was when it was both of them. Then Raven came.

Charles and Danny were talking in his room, none of them wanting to sleep just yet. "Can I try something?" He asked. "You know you can." She answered with a smile. Charles smiled sheepishly,

"Yes. Now close your eyes." Danny did as she was told. Closing tightly her eyes, she waited for him to tell her what to do next. "Okay, open them now." She opened her eyes. In front of her, between Charles and her, was a chess piece. It was black and shinny.

"Where did you get this?" She asked. "I made it." "What do you mean you made it?" He smiled. "It's not really there, I'm making you see it." A proud grin set on his face. "I can make it disappear." He relaxed a bit and then it was gone. Poof, gone.

"That's amazing!" She whispered excitedly. "It's our code. If I'm ever away and you see it just remember I'm still there and everything will be alright. I'll practice with it more."

They both grinned and rested their foreheads in the other's one"Both of us, forever."

They kept chatting like this until Charles stopped, a small frown in his face. "What is it?" She asked. "Someone. Someone is in the kitchen, someone we don't know." Charles took his baseball bat and you followed him downstairs. Holding his free hand.

Once you reached the downstairs he led you towards the kitchen. "Mom?" He said as you saw her, looking inside the refrigerator. "You scared us." He put the bat down, but he didn't let go of her hand. In fact, he moved so that she was behind him almost completely.

"Oh I'm sorry!" 'She' exclaimed.

"She isn't my mother." He said inside her friend's mind.

"I was just looking for a snack. Go back to your rooms," 'She' smiled. "I'll make you some chocolate."

"You are not my mother." Charles said coldly. "She has never set a foot inside the kitchen," The stranger took a step back. "And much less, ever made me chocolate." The woman's expression was neutral and suddenly, she changed. She turned into this girl with blue skin and red hair.

That was how they met Raven. Charles had convinced her to stay and then convinced his parents to let her stay, with a slight mental trick.

She was like a sister to Charles and like a friend to Danny. They had grown together like that, protecting each other.

It was perfect for them.
