Tanya walked slowly through the town streets, keeping a curious and wonderous gaze on everything that was happening in the town. People were using there powers openly, and the variety made Tanya's head spin. They were using teleportation, and levatation for a profit, spitting fire without props, making water fountains out of thin air, everything that Tanya could have dreamed of! She noticed one guy with brown hair turn into a white tiger and take off into nearby woods. Her jaw dropped and she turned quickly back to the sights. She smiled brightly at everyone, until she saw two kids picking on a little girl with a small power to just change her hair color. Tanya frowned and watched quietly, slipping into the alley to keep watch. Playing was fine, but Tanya wanted to make sure the girl didnt get hurt. She wouldnt enter something just out of the blue, if there would ultimately be consequences. She frowned and almost shouted when one boy went to far as to use his power to hurt the child. Tanya flipped a hand out, and all was still. Not a thing moved an inch, water stopped flowing, the air stopped moving, time itself stood still for her. She walked up, having to take her time to move the boys, for she wasnt the strongest girl of them all. She pushed them, shoved them, and heaved them to where she wanted them. She started time again, and laughed uncontrollably at the outcome. One of the boys was placed under one of the fountains, becoming thoroughly soaked. One was in front of the fire breather, catching the seat of his pants on fire, sending him running for the hills. She leaned up against the wall of the alley she was standing in, to keep her upright. She held her sides and her blond hair flew as she doubled over. She finally settled down and turned to the girl who was giggling behind a hand. Tanya winked at her and stepped out of the alley.

A pair of beady, chocolate-brown eyes had watched the whole fiasco.
Conspicuous to say the least, Anxo had opted to stay out of sight while enjoying the supreme pleasures of flight that only his raven form could offer. Yeah, he could fly well enough when in his normal form, but it was tiring as a humanoid body is remarkably lacks aerodynamics. A raven is stream-lined and powerful, a creature designed for flight. A raven the size of a small pony, that is, but still a raven.
Sure, the other students were using their powers willy-nilly throughout Cassis, but Anxo had been raised to exercise extreme caution and, well, old habits die hard.
It was then the odd feeling came over him, and the pair of bullies he'd been keeping a close eye on suddenly ended up in places that they sure as Hell hadn't been in only a second before. Anxo's dark eyes blinked rapidly; what on earth had happened?
His keen senses picked up on a blond girl practically laughing her arse off in an alley way before exiting it.
Anxo wasn't very good at putting two and two together, but he was positive she'd enjoy THIS:
Taking off from his roost, Anxo glided neatly overhead and left a nice 'white package' on the head of each boy that had been picking on that girl. A double whammy!
Nothing served to teach a lesson better than public humiliation, right?
Anxo cawed loudly.

Tanya heard a loud bird flying over head and turned back quickly. She saw the two boys picking bird droppings out of their hair and screaming. Tanya couldnt help herself. She began to laugh even harder. Tears streamed out of her eyes as she tried to find the bird that had delivered the gift. She found it. An extremely large...raven? Is that what it was? Tanya shook her head and gave the bird a thumbs up, acknowledging the greatness of the stunt. She almost wished at that moment that she had been able to do that. She put her hand to her mouth and tried to slow her breathing. Her sides were beginning to hurt. She kinda figured that the bird was a gifted, and was curious to find out why he joined her in the prank-slash-punishment of the girl's tormentors. She tilted her head and searched out the bird, which wasnt hard to do. She kept her eyes on it, following its progress around the street. She motioned to it to join her in the alley. She sat down on a box, slightly sinking because the box was empty. She frowned and settled differently to be more comfortable. She counted the seconds by snapping her fingers as she waited to see if the bird would join her.

Success! And as he'd thought, the girl had enjoyed it immensely.
Mission accomplished.
Thinking it would be a good time to find something to eat, Anxo had been prepared to fly back to the school grounds when he noticed the blond girl motioning for him to follow her. Circling overhead, he watched as she slipped into another alley.
Undeniably curious, Anxo followed almost immediately, shifting forms as he alighted ten feet in front of her. A glowing incandescence enveloped the raven's body, molding it into a humanoid shape. The glow dissipated a moment later as Anxo's black running shoes lightly impacted the cement and he folded his wings neatly.
"Yessum?" he said. "You beckoned, milady?"

Tanya laughed lightly. "I knew you were a gifted..And also that you weren't to keen on showing much of it in public..Obviously, I didnt see you shift, so you were already in that form..werent in sight until that moment..so..The alley." She said explaining her actions. She smiled at him. "And the name's Tanya." She said with a bright smile. She held out her hand for a handshake. "And I am undeniably curious as to who you are, and why you did what you did, for it was the most hilarious and wonderful thing I have seen in all my days..And can you only shift to a raven? Or do you have some other power?" She asked, stopping time to get up, knowing that she would look weird doing so..she was stuck. When she was standing she quickly started the time again, right in front of the boy. She laughed and shrugged, hoping to have startled him in her sudden change.

Bright red hair moved slightly as a small gust gave a pleasent breath of fresh air to the girl. She smiled as her eye's reached the sun's view. Amazingly enough she didn't once flinch to the suns bright light. Not even a spot in front of her eye's appeared when she let her vision take away from it. Her footsteps moved in rythm to the sound of the song in her head. She couldn't get the beat out of her head as she soon began to sing aloud. "I"m going to make you bend and break.... say a prayer and let good times roll. In case god doesn't sho'oow. Who does he think he is?" Skipping a few breaks in the places she didn't know the music. The day seemed to be absolutely perfect.
Turning the corner to the main area, she noticed a few kids were complaining about something in their hair and she wondered what had happened. With a shrug, she passed it off and continued to follow around, eye's a few people who she knew were confident gifteds using their powers in front of everyone. She wasn't one of those who just use powers openly, but would conceal it if needed. Watching everyone use their powers made her want to use her powers as well. Finding an empty spot, she sat down by a brick wall and with a quick glance making sure that noone was looking, she raised her hand up in front of her. "Okay.. Let's see. Small fire tornado will due me for now.... Just so I don't burn anything!" She said to herself in motra form and collecting the warm air around her body it began to take a swirling manner with a little bit of fire now being produced in it as well. The flames swirled around inbetween her fingers as she concentrated deeply on the tornado. "Good... stay in form... STay in For... AHH" A second later the tornado lost the swirling matter and blew in every direction. A small heat wave rushed around her. Disappointed she bent over letting her arms hang over her legs. "I will never get that right... Never!"

That wierd feeling came over him again and suddenly the girl was standing right in front of him. Anxo's eyes widened a little, but that was it.
"Slow down there! One thing at a time," Anxo said, his thick welsh accent warping several of the words. Ah well, at least he wasn't speaking as rapdily as he usually did. "Firstly, I am pleased to meet you, Tanya; the name's An-shaw, got it? Okay!" His wings fluttered lightly. "And I pooped on their heads 'cause I wanted to. I saw them picking on that girl, and was thinking of doing something about it when you beat me to the punch, you ken? I hate bullies, and really, given my form, that seemed like the best way to humiliate them." He beamed. "And obviously, it worked! Oh, uh, no, I don't have any other 'power', per se, 'cept I can fly with these wings of mine... I hafta eat a lot though, because of it..."
He shifted his weight from one leg to the other and smiled. "Say, you can... make stuff happen instantly, right? Just imagine the kind of fun you and me could have! Bullies would shake in their shoes at the mere mention of our names, you ken?"
"I will never get that right... Never!"
Anxo turned. "Hey, who was that?"

Tanya smiled. "Not particularly. You see..I stop time. Just..like.." She snapped her fingers." That." She grinned. She looked him up and down. "Eat a lot..doesnt look like you gain a pound from it.." She said jokingly. She put her hands on her hips. "I'm jealous.." She turned to the red headed girl. "No clue.." She muttered turning back to Anxo. "Doesnt look like she has much control over her power..." She looked up wondering what it would be like to fly. "I wish I could fly.." She said softly, speaking her thoughts.
((would put more, but there is a reason its a small post XD))

MArr-ee sat there anxious to be able to prefect the flaming tornado, but as she just did it, it was not in her thoughts to keep it together. Cursed with the disease called short attention span, she never could keep her mind on the things at hand. SHe fidgitted with her hands momentarily feeling the heat in the air coming around her hands again. "Well, I guess there's always a second chance.... second chance I'll mess it up again, but hey, whom I kidding... It might work. Anger... Anger is when it's best. More flame... more control. There we go!" She told herself and she instantly thought of a minute ago, loosing control over the mini tornado.
Moving her hands in a motion, the heated air around her circulated around her hands, anywhere else, she could have swore the temperature had dropped like ten degree's. She didn't worry about that, but just as she thought she had enought of the heated air, instantly orange and yellow flames started swirling around the vortex. She kept her face straight, thinking about the last time she did it, it made her mad that she messed it up. She stood up as the flames licked to the ground, still swirling, it now reached her height. She was pleased! "There... WE.... Go!" She breathed out, using alot of energy for this conjure. The tornadow grew larger, suddenly taller than her. She fought with the speed of the swirl, but one blink of her thoughts and she fell to the ground, as the Flaming tornado now was on the rampage., now heading toward the two people who were talking. She look up breifly and gasped.

"Well, I've got about twenty times the metabolism you do," Anxo replied matter-of-factly. "I have to eat every couple of hours or I'll go into a coma, you ken? It's got something to do with my flight muscles."
"I wish I could fly..."
Anxo gave her a sympathetic smile; he got that a lot.
Then a rush of heat came over them and Anxo whipped around to see death bearing down on both of them.
"Uh, you're about to get your wish!" Anxo cried.
Disregarding his dwindling energy, Anxo immediately flashed back into raven form and grabbed Tanya's arms in his talons. The youth then pumped his wings for all he was worth. They made it to a second floor fire escape before Anxo collapsed in exhaustion, reverting to his human form and unable to even sit up.
The fiery whirlwind sailed by beneath them.
Leaning against the brick wall, his arms and wings limp on the ground, Anxo managed a weak smile and gasped out, "That... was kinda... fun... D-Don't... wanna... wanna try that again... though... you ken?"

Tanya stood stock still. "You.. " She started, and was cut off from continuing by a scream from down below. She stopped time immediately and left the exhausted Anxo sitting on the fire escape. She ran down the steps carefully, and they shook violently with her steps. She ran down the street seeing a fiery tornado standing deathly still in the street. She sighed heavily. This..was going to take..a long time.. She began her labor by pushing and pulling every person out of the way. She then moved their things out of the way. She had calculated quickly what the path of the fiery vortx would be and that meant that it would be heading to a nearby lake. She worked for hours it seemed, clearing a path. When she realized she was finished, she trudged slowly back to the fire escape where Anxo still sat. Her footsteps were heavy as she navigated the ten steps to her destination. She sat down heavily next to him, and started time once more. She closed her eyes and laid her head back. "Yes..I do know what you mean.." She said softly. "Thank you.." She whispered, leaning her head back to give the girl that lost control of the fire a pointed look. She shook her head. "Next time..I wouldnt try that in a crowded place!" She yelled loud enough for the girl to hear. She tilted her head toward Anxo. "Hmm..You managed to save me..and grant me the chance to fly." She smiled wearily. "I thank you..sincerely."

Marr-ee watched in horror as the blazing tornadow headed their way. She was speechless watching the scene but was releived to see that the boy talking to the girl had turned into some bird and flew her to safety. She sighed then her vision was put to the other people in the way and everything, but a second later it seemed as if everything was out of the way. She stood there with her mouth gawping, but over heard some yell at her.
Next time..I wouldnt try that in a crowded place! She felt embarressed. SHe didn't mean to mess up, but it seemed to her that she did. "SORRY!" She called out and instantly got up and dropped her head slighlty as she tried to make a clean get away before people started to yell at her. Why did I do that? How could I let it get so out of control?
