He shoves her over on her bed. “She healed him! Since when does Vi use duck tape??!”

Cage walks over to Miki’s food, looking over it in frustration. “I can freeze it, but I can’t heat it.”

Silver landed on her wings and pushed herself up just as fast, rolling into a crouch in the middle of the bed. "Violet can heal people? Since when? I thought she could just grow trees and stuff."

Miki rolled her eyes and gave him a shove with her shoulder. "I don't want it colder, you derp."

Ben rolls his eyes, placing his hands on his hips. “Have you ever seen Vi grow something? No. She doesn’t like ever use her power, and when she does it’s normally for healing. She’s practical.”

Cage shrugs. “Just checking.”

"Well??" She said. "I've never seen her do ANYTHING. I didn't know she could heal people."

"Like I've ever asked you to freeze my food?" Miki scoffed and made to put her did in the microwave, but paused. "Wait… but what would frozen eggs taste like?"

Cage holds out a hand. “Give me one!” He smiles.

“You… didn’t?” He looks over to her, his brow furrowed.

"No…?" Silver said, raising her eyebrows. "Ben, you and Vi like never talk about anything to us. We didn't know you were married or Vi could heal cuz you don't tell us."

Miki pushed a piece of her scrambled eggs away from the rest and pointed her fork at it. "Okay, just freeze that one."

“I just- I- okay fine.” He runs a hand through his hair. “She heals things, okay.”

Cage picks up the egg, setting it on the counter and concentrating. The counter starts to ice over, and though he successfully freezes the egg solid, there is now two inch thick ice across half of the counter top. He smiles proudly up at Miki. “TA DA!”

Silver nodded slowly. "Okay. She can heal things. That's… actually pretty convenient."

Miki watched in silence, waiting until he was finished and then stabbing the ice with her fork. "Um… Cage. I can't… I can't get to it to eat it."

Kissa touches the counter then pulls her hand back, screeching. “WHYD YOU FREEZE IT!” Gabriel glares at her as she pulls her hand close to her chest as if it burned her.

Ben goes to speak, but is startled and turns when Kissa shrieks. “What the…?”

Silver glanced toward the door and slid off the bed. "That was Kissa…?"

Miki stabbed at the ice harder. "Cage was gonna freeze my eggs so I could see what they tasted like but he froze everything and now I can't eat it!" She leaned over and started licking the ice.

Gabriel glares over the ice.
What on earth????
Kissa leans into Gabriel and glares at it. “WELL IT’s certainLY NOT nICe to tOUch when I’m EXPECTING a NORmal CoUnTeR!”

Ben strides out of Silvers room, walking to the railing and staring down.
?????

"Cage, you froze my whole breakfast!" Miki yelled, completely ignoring Kissa.

Silver followed Ben, standing beside him. "What are you yelling about, Miki?"

“He froze thE WHOLE COUNTER!” Kissa yells.
Cage turns towards Kissa, looking guilty. “I- I didn’t mean to? BEN.”
Ben winces, closing his eyes. “What, Cage?”
Cage looks up, realizing Ben is right above him, and he smiles. “Will you melt this?”
He growls lowly, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
Im going to melt you, Cage.

Miki looked up at Ben, her fork still poised above the ice. "I told him to do it, Ben. Kill me, not him."

Silver decended the stairs, for once not jumping off the balcony. "Gabriel?" She asked, approaching him. "Are you okay?"

Gabriel nods.
Yeah. I’m fine.

Ben rolls his eyes and starts down the stairs. “Augh, it’s always you two.”
He glares over the counter and it steams, the ice melting and water instantly evaporating.
Violet pats his shoulder on her way pst him to the stairs. “I’m going back to bed.”
He nods.
Shes leaving me here with these monster children.

Miki pressed her lips together, staring at her soggy, steaming breakfast. "Well… at least it's hot now."

Silver glanced over her shoulder and gave Miki an invisible shove. "Behave." She whispered, jerking her head toward Ben.

Taking the chance while Silver isn’t looking, Gabriel turns invisible and takes a few steps backwards.
Kissa stares over the counter.
I wish I had the fire element.
Cage looks over the food, poking a piece with his finger and it audibly makes a squishy, moist noise. He sticks his tongue out. “Yuuuuck.”

Silver turned away, her stomach threatening to roll again. "You two are so gross."

Miki shooed his hand away and dumped the food in the trash. "Cereal it is, I guess."

“Don’t let him freeze that too.” Kissa hisses.
Cage giggles. “That was really gross.”
Ben sits on the wings backed chair in the living room and sighs.
These kids.

"Trust me, I'm never letting him touch my food again." Miki said, going over to the cabinet and getting out a box of cereal.

Silver came into the living room and sat down on the couch. "Are we going to do some training today, Ben?"

He nods solemnly. “Yes. Vi had nothing planned today and I’m not leaving till this evening.” He stands, dusting his hand off. “We’ll start with basics I guess.”
Cage turns around, “wait, what?”

Silver subconsciously started picking at her fingernails. "Okay. I looked up so fighting videos on YouTube this morning. They were interesting."

"Basics?" Miki asked through a mouthful. "Like gun basics or like punching basics?"

He rolls his eyes. “punching basics? Physical combat. You’re most likely always going to have your limbs with you, while you won’t always have a gun.”
Cage stifles a giggle.
Most likely, lol

Miki refrained from rolling her eyes and focused on her food. You might not always have a gun, she thought, shifting her weight so the gun in her waistband wasn't stabbing her hip.

Silver glanced at her sister, but also kept her mouth shut on the subject of Miki's probably illegal carrying. "Will we eventually train with other weapons?"

He nods. “Of course? Basic will be physical combat though. Which is honestly very simple.” He tilts his head towards the door. “Follow.” And he starts towards it.
Cage’s heart sinks.
We’re all gonna die.
