STORYTIME!
Annabel surged ahead, hell-bent on finding the girl in time. Raven could barely keep up with her. Annabel jumped over fallen furniture, squeezed past collapsing doorways, and ran through burning hallways at lightning speed.
"Wait!" Raven pulled her back as a wall of fire suddenly roared to life in front of her. Annabel shielded her eyes. "God, we don't even know which room she's in!" She growled.
Raven glanced around. "Wait here." She suddenly passed through the wall next to them, leaving Annabel standing there in shock. She was about to start busting down doors when she heard yelling.
"IS ANYONE IN HERE!"
'Crap,' Annabel thought, 'Another civilian?' She started down the hallway, following the voice. She turned a corner and found herself face-to-face with a boy her age.
He had brown hair, and was a few inches taller than she was. He stared at her for a few moments, then shielded his eyes from the heat.
"Do you live here?" He asked. Annabel shook her head. 'He must think I'm that trapped girl.' She grabbed his wrist and started pulling him down the hallway.
"Hey! Hey, let go! Where are you-"
"Civilian," she muttered without thinking, "you could get hurt."
"And you're not?"
She froze and turned to face him. He stared at her. "You're a JT." He stated. Her shoulders tensed.
'So much for covert.'
"I won't tell." He said suddenly. She studied him a few moments, then nodded. She turned and started back down the hallway, knowing he would follow.
When she reached the window they had entered in, she stopped.
"I have to find my friend. You go." He nodded and climbed out the window. She turned to leave when he grabbed her wrist.
"Wait," the boy said, "what's your name?" Annabel looked at him and smirked.
"That's confidential." She turned and ran back down the hallway.
"Raven?!" She called, pushing open a door. "Raven, where'd you go?!" She could feel the room heating up. She coughed. The smoke was starting to get to her. She didn't even notice the flames licking at her bare legs.
"Raven!"
"Over here." She turned an saw Raven at the end of the hallway. Annabel noted the eight-year-old hiding behind Raven's cloak. She sighed.
"Let's go."
Raven helped the little girl out onto the fire escape before climbing out herself, followed by Annabel. They made it down the ladder without any trouble, and handed the girl off to the paramedics who had just shown up. After it was confirmed that the girl only had minor burns, the two teens ducked out of sight, leaving the authorities to wonder about the pair of heroes.
On a nearby rooftop, the heroines watched the firefighters attempt to subdue the flames.
"Should we help them?" Raven asked. Annabel looked on a few moments before responding.
"No. We have our jobs, and they have theirs. It's best those two stay the way they are." Raven nodded and turned to look at Annabel.
"Should we be-" she suddenly stopped short, staring at the vigilante. "What?" Annabel asked.
"We just came out of a burning building with flames hot enough to cause second-degree burns. Even my cloak got burned."
Annabel turned to look at her. "And?"
Raven shook her head before continuing. "You're barefoot and you're wearing shorts and a shirt without sleeves."
Annabel still didn't get it. "So?"
"So, why aren't you even singed?"
AN: Shocker. I'll try to update again soon.
