Part Two of "Colors of the Wind"! Uh, I wrote this chapter and the last one all at once and I'm posting them on the same day so...enjoy! Please review, it makes my writer heart warm and happy. I may or may not clap like a walrus whenever I see that "new review" alert.

Before we start, a quick question for all of you: If you had Psi abilities, which color do you think you'd be? I think I'd be orange. *shrugs*

Summary: Amelia and Finn "come out," in their own way.


Amelia and Finn looked around Finn's room with wide eyes, realization dawning on their faces, then at each other, all anger wiped from their expressions. They looked at each in their multicolored eyes, helplessness and panic on their faces.

"Uhhh-"

"There was a bird," Amelia stepped forward, cutting off her twin. "it flew through the window and-"

"The truth, Amelia." Liam said in his rarely-used stern voice.

Amelia slumped, and stepped back in line with Finn. They shot each other another glance.

"Well?" Ruby asked.

Amelia nodded to Finn.

"We have Psi abilities." Finn stated, speaking up. Amelia nodded.

Both parents froze. Not in fear, or anger, but in genuine surprise. Ruby even looked a touch excited.

"...Maybe we should have this conversation downstairs." Liam said hesitantly, looking around to the charred remains of posters and broken glass littering the room. "C'mon."


Ruby lowered herself onto the living room couch, watching Finn and Amelia sit cautiously across from them. Finn had a sheen of sweat on his forehead, and Amelia was wringing her hands nervously.

"You're not in trouble." Ruby blurted out, distracted by her children's discomfort. Finn visibly slumped with relief. Amelia still seemed dubious, but her hands stilled in her lap.

"Sooooo…" Liam started awkwardly. Smooth, Liam. "How long have you guys known?"

Amelia shrugged. "When summer started. A few kids at school started to get theirs' right before break. I got mine a day before Finn."

Ruby blinked, surprised. She was already preparing herself in the event either of their powers manifested. 50 percent of the generation's population has Psi abilities. Original IAAN survivors had a higher rate of birthing kids with Psi abilities, so parents were prepped in the event Psi powers manifested. Powers tended to manifest when the kids hit puberty, so it made sense that some kids had begun to manifest at 13. All kids at school were informed about Psi abilities in health class, and taught about camps and Ruby and Liam's part in releasing Thurmond. What Ruby was truly surprised about was the fact that Amelia and Finn had been able to hide it for this long. It had been nearly a month since school ended, and it was a shock they had hid it for this long.

"What colors are you two?" Ruby asked.

Finn replied, "I'm a Yellow, and Amelia's a Red."

Liam jolted in his seat, and Ruby looked at his, shocked. Red, like Cole. A warm, fond smile spread its' way across Liam's face, and Ruby was her face mirrored his own-both were thinking the same, solitary thought. Cole.

Amelia snapped her fingers and a tiny flame appeared, and Finn removed his bracelets and lit a small lightbulb that appeared out of nowhere.

Liam's eyes widened in surprise. It was amazing that the twins had so much control over their powers after such a short amount of time. He was impressed, and with good reason.

Liam cleared his throat, and Amelia closed her hand around the flame and Finn set down the lightbulb. "Your mom and I have talked about it, and we think it should be up to you if you want to keep your abilities." Liam said seriously.

Before they had discovered the two had Psi powers, Ruby had discussed what should happen in the event the twins' powers manifested. Both had agreed that the twins should be able to choose if they wanted to keep them or not-a small chip could be implanted to block the powers should they ever not want them. Some parents implanted the chip into babies when they were born, a sort of safety measure that others looked down upon. Ruby and Liam believed that Amelia and Finn should be able to choose, like they were able to after Thurmond.

"We want to keep them." Amelia stated, speaking for both of them. "They're a part of who we are." Finn nodded solemnly.

"Well you guys know all the work that has to go into them, right?" Ruby reminded. Once a child's abilities had manifested, they had to take special classes after school in learning how to control them. They were still able to attend regular classes with the whole school, but teachers and staff were notified. Little notes were to be added onto things like ID's and passports, and some countries don't allow them to enter.

The pair nodded in unison.

"Well alrighty then." Liam stood up. "Finn, I'll call up Auntie Zu to help you control your powers better. Amelia, I'll call Cate-I'm sure Maeve would love to help." Cate's daughter had also shown to a Red a years ago, and had mastered her powers since then.

Amelia whooped, and Finn clapped.

"But before we start," Ruby halted the twins. "you are going to clean up Finn's room."

Grumbles and groans were all to be heard, as Ruby's word was final.


"Mom, look what Maeve showed me how to do!" Amelia exclaimed as she entered the house. As Ruby entered the room, Amelia had both palms outstretched. A deep breath in, an exhale, and then a ring of fire formed, dancing in her hand. The ring got larger and larger, until it condensed into a medium-sized fireball, the light flickering across her face. All at once she clapped her hands together, and the fireball disappeared. Ruby clapped proudly, and Amelia took a little bow.

"Oh yeah? Mom look what Auntie Zu taught me to do!" Finn exclaimed, stepping in front of an objecting Amelia. Taking off his rubber bracelets, Finn rubbed his hands together, electricity popping between them. Staring at the radio across the room, Finn snapped his fingers, and music flooded the speakers. Ruby clapped again, but Amelia under her breath. Finn and Amelia continued on to bicker, stopped by Ruby clearing her throat.

"You two are excelling very quickly. You'll be the best in your classes once school starts up again." Ruby praised. The two beamed with pride. Ruby reached walked over and hugged them.

From behind them, Liam crept quietly, hoping to scare them.

"Boo!"

Ruby jumped, and Amelia and Finn snapped instinctively while screaming.

Liam was greeted with his tee-shirt catching fire, and getting a small electric shock, causing the hair on his head to stand up, almost comically. He shed himself of the shirt, stamping on the fire to extinguish it.

"...Sorry dad."

"It's fine. Actually, that was pretty darn awesome if you ask me." Liam told them, scuffing the brown and blonde heads. Suddenly, his voice turned serious. "With great power, comes great responsibility."

"Did you just quote Spiderman?"

"Yes, yes I did."

The twins giggled as Ruby rolled her eyes, but secretly, she couldn't be happier.
