Frost replied.
    “Just like that? What about the lecture you gave me
about how I blew our cover?” I asked.
    “Well you screwed up far worse than I have and I
think we can trust Flare,” he said.
    I thought about it for a minute and weighed the pros
and cons. “Alright. Let’s go find Flare,” I said reluctantly.
    We quietly exited the house and started towards
Flare’s house. I followed Frost through the streets. I put my hood down after a
minute. I thought that the hood would make me look more suspicious. We
approached Flare’s house. Frost knocked on the door. It opened slowly and the
first thing I saw was Flare’s bright orange and red shoulder length hair. Her
voice came through. “Frost? What are you doing in the open?” she asked opening
the door wider, “Come in before someone sees you.”
    We entered the house and she shut the door behind us.
She looked over at me and said, “I like the haircut.”
    “Thanks. It was time for a change,” I replied.
    “A change? Like attacking Hades at his first public
appearance in ages?” she asked angrily, “You have a gene spike and you never
told me? I thought we were friends.”
    “Let me explain. We kept our spikes secret because we
didn’t want the same thing to happen to us that happened to our parents,” I
replied.
    “We?” she asked looking over at Frost. The look on
her face was horrifying. She had the look of a mother who was about to punish
her child for breaking a lamp.
    Frost’s face turned red with embarrassment. “I was
going to tell you. Today was an accident. We didn’t expect to have to go into
hiding,” he said.
    “After all we have been through? You didn’t think you
could trust me?” she said in a louder voice. His face turned a darker red.
“Since we are revealing secrets now, we should probably tell Zero,” said Flare.
    “Tell me what?” I asked already knowing the answer to
my question.
    “We uh… we have been together for a few months,”
Frost stuttered.
    “I knew it the whole time. He never stops talking
about you,” I said to Flare.
    She smiled for the first time since we arrived. “So
then, what’s your spike Frost?” she asked sarcastically suddenly realizing that
his name and ability had a correlation.
    He held out his hand and made a diamond out of ice.
He placed it in her hand and she looked at it. As she held it up, a small flame
emerged from her hand and melted the ice. We both looked at her surprised. She
slyly smiled and said, “We all have secrets.”
    “Well now that all the secrets are out, can you help
us?” I asked.
    “What do you need help with?” she asked pouring a cup
of water.
    “We have three footlockers of scientific papers at my
house and we need to get them back to The Sanctum,” I said.
    “The Sanctum?” asked Frost in an almost laughing
voice.
    “I thought of it on the way here. We need a name for
it and it fits I think,” I replied.
    “What do you need my help with then?” she asked.
    “Frost said he thought you had a cart we could use,”
I said. As I said this, I realized that this was just a ploy by Frost to get
Flare in on our secret.
    “I don’t have a cart, but I can help carry one of the
footlockers,” she said.
    “If Frost thinks it’s a good idea then you can come
along,” I said.
    “Let me gather a few things,” she said. She grabbed a
bag and started putting some of her belongings in it. She scooped up a cloak
and we set back towards my old house. On the way, I heard a commotion in an
alleyway. I looked to my right and saw a man being robbed at knifepoint by a
much larger man. I threw my hood back up and took off towards them. I threw my
hand down and the robber was smashed into the ground. The ground was to his
hips and he started to struggle. I heard Frost and Flare’s footsteps close
behind. Frost froze the criminal from the waist up and I pulled him out with a
gravity flux. He laid on the ground frozen and the man who was being robbed
looked with a
