Chapter 19 - Waiting for Superman
Alfea
For such a gorgeous day, the sky was clear. Birds chirped, girls laughed. You would have never guessed that the magical world was once more in danger. Everything was fine, but only if you over looked the four crestfallen fairies gathered together in a circle of mourning. But the Winx were never overlooked. And others began to worry. Where was Bloom? Where was the red-headed leader of that group of tightly formed friends? Many wanted to ask, but were terrified of the answer. Last, time Bloom vanished the Army of Decay rose. No one wanted a repeat of last year.
She's watching the taxi driver, he pulls away
She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days
She says, yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late
"Sky is going to be-, "Stella didn't finish her sentence, as they watched a Red Fountain shuttle appear just grazing above the trees of the Black-Mud Swamp. An eerie feeling of unease swept over the group clustered together in the quad.
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape"
She's just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name like Lois Lane
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles
"He's going to be something, but I doubt angry would even begin to cover it." Layla said, rubbing her arms trying desperately to erase the chill that had clutched at the five girls since they were told Bloom a had been taken.
She's talking to angels, counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers, falling apart
"If I know anything, Sky is going to tear apart Shadow haunt till he finds Bloom and blast Darkar into oblivion." Musa said rolling her shoulders trying to shake a twinge in her neck, the stress of Bloom's abduction taking a toll on everyone.
"Here they come," Tecna said, as the boys began the descent. From where they stood, Sky, followed by Brandon and Riven stomped.
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms yeah, in his arms yeah
Waiting for Superman
"What HAPPENED!" Sky snapped barely holding back his fiery. But the girls could see it as it made his eyes turn from their usual serene blue to a snapping frigid icy blue.
"All we can put together, is that Darkar has had a spy within Alfea all along. Our new Professor wasn't our 'real' Professor. But another minion of Darkar's making." Musa remarked, "He played us, from what we've gathered. He's been slowly injecting tainted magic into Bloom throughout the year." She held her knuckles balled at her side.
She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
Nothing's making sense
She's been chasing an answer
A sign lost in the abyss, this Metropolis
"What's the plan?" Riven asked as he signaled for Timmy and Helia to join them outside the shuttle.
"What do you think," Stella snapped hands on her hip, "We go to Shadow haunt and get her. Then we show Mister Doom-and-Gloom why you don't cross a Winx girl." She replied knowing it was going to be a lot harder but wanted to put out a basic outline.
She says "Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late"
He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day"
She says, "If life was a movie, then it wouldn't end like this"
Left without a kiss
Still, she smiles, oh the way she smiles, yeah
"We get that but how, you girls will be drained the minute you step foot into that place," Timmy asked wanting to work out the logistics. "and the tunnel are too small to fly the shuttle through! It'll crash!"
"Then, we need a way to make the tunnels bigger," Tecna informed her counterpart.
"But how, you and the girls can't use magic the cave walls will just absorb it."
She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart
"If only," Sky turned to look at Brandon, "If only we knew someone who could help, who owed us a favor."
"What are you looking at me for?" Brandon asked not liking the look on his prince's face!
"Hey, Brandon, are you still in contact with Amentia," Brandon gulped not wanting to even think about his crazy forced engagement to the now, Queen of Downland. "think you can convince her to lend a hand?" Brandon nodded, knowing that with Bloom in danger everything was a stake.
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms yeah, in his arms yeah
She's waiting for Superman
"Yeah, I can do it." But most importantly he best friend's sanity.
"Good, by the way, where's Flora?" Helia asked wanting to see his possible-if-not-already-girlfriend.
"She said she needed to get something We might need." Musa answered, "There she is right now," She point to just behind him. Turning he saw Flora running towards them with a pack slung over her back. She still wore the same clothes, probably had just arrived when they were alerted to the abduction.
"What you got there," Riven asked, spotting the pack there on her back.
"Something I hope I won't have to use," She replied, tightening the straps, "We ready?"
To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and climbing through the air
Save her now, before it's too late tonight
Oh like the speed of light
And she smiles
"Yeah, we are-
"we're coming too!" Chatta shouted, the group turned as one to see their pixies gathered together.
"You're not going anywhere," Stella snapped in her best mom impression.
"Bloom needs me!" Lockette retorted.
She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
"The chances of you six surviving another trip into shadow haunt is literally impossible," Tecna informed the group, "Digit, back me up."
"Your fact is true but sometimes you have to go with your heart," Digit rebuffed, "I say we all go together. " Both the Fairies and Specialist rolled their eyes.
"We're wasting time lets!" Sky barked, shutting down all arguments. Before Walking back to the shuttle.
To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and climbing through the air
Save her now before it's too late tonight
She's waiting for Superman
