Arelis went down the steps and went to the tree that Andros and Kayla first found her. She sat down and closed her eyes. She searched her memories until she remember the day she first got her powers, from the weird old Chinese lady two years back.

Flashback

"Welcome to the Paper Lantern what may I get you?" the waitress asked.

"How 'bout some roast pork fried rice and some sweet and pungent chicken and a can of coke." The waitress smiled and left. Arelis took a book out of her backpack ad started reading. Out of the corner of her eyes, she kept seeing an old lady outside watching her, but every time she looked out the window, she saw nothing. Her food arrived and she started eating. An hour later, she finished eating and the waitress put her leftovers in box. Arelis left them a tip and left. Arelis took the shortcut home which meant going through the alley. She found a little girl dressed in rags looking in the trash for food. The girl took out a half eaten chicken and hopped down.

"You're not going to eat that are you? It can get you sick. I still have some left over food here, and you can come home with me. My mother is making dinner right about now and she's always glad to have another mouth to feed. So how about it? You come home with me, I won't hurt you." Arelis told the girl. The girl nodded took Arelis' hand and both of them walked to Arelis house.

"Mom, I'm home and I brought someone with me."

"Dinner is in twenty minutes and who did you bring with you this time?"

"A little girl, who is very hungry and dirty, so she is going to take a bath first then get into some clean clothes and then we will eat."

Arelis took the girl upstairs and into her room. Arelis took out blue pajamas from the bottom drawer, that was reserved for her four-year-old cousin Kira when she came over which was like every weekend.

"Alright, go through that door and turn the water on until it's warm enough for you, and then turn the middle knob to turn the shower on. The shampoo is the red one, the conditioner is the green and the soap is blue." Arelis gave the girl a slight push towards the bathroom.

"I'll be downstairs. Dinner is in fifteen minutes." Arelis waited until she heard the water running and the girl was safe to descend the stairs. She entered the kitchen and saw her mom stirring something.

"What are making you mom?"

"Gnocchi's with white and red sauce." Arelis mom answered.

"Cool, can't wait." Arelis answered.

Arelis mom was the famous Lioness, the only girl on the crime fighting team, F.E.A.R which stand for Fire, Earth, Air and Rain(Water). Her full name was Cat Leone and she controlled the elements of Fire and Air. Her dad was Axel Manning the leader of A.T.O.M. He controlled the elements of Earth and Water. There was also her Uncle Tommy Oliver who controlled fire and earth, Aunt Katherine Hillard-Oliver who controlled water and air, Uncle Eric McKnight who controlled the light and the darkness and lastly Paine who controlled the element of steel and all metal. The team separated after Paine went bad and joined forces with Barron Battle. Five minutes later the little girl came down the stairs timidly and entered the kitchen.

The Lioness looked up, eyed the girl, and studied her.

"What is your name young one?" The girl mumbled something.

"Speak up little one; we are not going to hurt you." Arelis dad, Axel told her.

"Mi nombre es Micaela Isabela Rodríguez," she told them.

"Podes hablar ingles Michaela?" Arelis asked her. Michaela nodded her head and whispered;

"I know little bit English, since my papa never finished teaching me."

"Y donde estan tus padres ahora? (Where are your parents now?)" The Lioness asked.

"Yo no se. Una noche quando tenia tres anos me desperte en la casa de mi abuela y nunca supe que paso con mis padres. (I don't know. One night when I was three years old, I woke up in my grandmother's house, and I never knew what happen to my parents.)"

Arelis looked at the girl curiously.

"Y porque te llevo tu abuela? (And why did your grandmother take you?)" Arelis asked. Michaela shrugged and whispered;

"Yo solo se que mis padres pensaron que yo era un demonio porque cuando yo tenia medio o estaba enojada, el tiempo se cambiaba, el agua y la tierra alrededor mió se cambiaba y se excitaba, y puedo tocar el fuego sin cemar me. (I only know that my parents thought that I was a demon because whenever I was scared or mad, the weather would change the water around me and the earth would change and become excited around me. And I could touch the fire without burning myself.) Arelis, Lioness and Axel laughed.

"You are no demon. You are an elemental, someone who can control all the elements. My family and I can control some of the elements but not all of them. My daughter can control the fire and earth, my wife controls the elements of fire and air and I control the element of water and earth." Axel said.

"Entendiste todo eso? (Did you understand all that?)" Arelis asked.

Micaela nodded and grinned happily.

"So normal entonces. (I am normal then)."

"Si y si quieres poders viver con nosotros pero ahora comemos y despues hablamos. (And if you want, you can come and live with us. But now we eat and afterwards we can talk.)

All of them sat down, Arelis waved her hand, and the food started serving itself. She turned on the radio and 'Before He Cheats' by Carrie Underwood came on. Everything froze itself in place, all except Arelis and some old lady who was there. Arelis immediately got up and put herself in the defensive position.

"Who are you and what do you want?" she asked. The old lady raised her hand as a sign of peace.

"At ease my child, I came here not to harm you but to thank you."

"Thank me? For what?"

"For taking care of my grandchild even though she was special. If only she had met people like you before they killed her."

"She is dead? But she is solid and real. I touched her hand and everything."

"She is just but a soul who came back because she had unfinished business. She had to make sure her powers went to someone trustworthy and kind and worthy of them. And she seems to have chosen you. So be quiet and accept these powers without struggle.. Since you have fire and earth power, those will only grow stronger, but you will get water, air, ice and dry ice." The old lady put her hand on Arelis and mumbled a few words. Arelis felt something, cold, wet and airy enter her and when she opened her eyes, she saw the remains of blue, light blue, gray, and black dust disappearing. Arelis blinked and the lady disappeared as the ground came rushing up to meet her."

The memory faded and Arelis stayed like that thinking.
