A Team of Heroes

[Raven]

"Permanently, Valeriya?" Wulf repeated.

[Gifted]

"I don't know." She said, offended. "It's just food colouring, why you gotta ruin the joke?"

[Raven]

"If it's permanent, it's taking it too far," Wulf said. "You shouldn't have put the coloring in it at all if you didn't know."

[Gifted]

"I was just trying to have a little fun. Did you see the look on her face?"

[Raven]

"Yes, and I don't think she was having fun," Wulf said, though his voice was calm.

[Gifted]

"Oh, she's too sensitive, we were just playing a joke."
Sasha disappeared into her room, trying not to cry.

[Raven]

"If these are the jokes you want to play, you should watch out for them to be played on you," Wulf said.

[Gifted]

Valeriya rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Nice to know who's side you're on. Come on Tamara, Jae."
Jae followed quickly. Tamara stayed watching him for a minute longer before turning to hurry after her sister.

[Raven]

Wulf went to find a towel and then came to knock on Sasha's door. He wasn't going to beg forgiveness from Valeriya.

[Gifted]

Sasha answered the door, still soaked and covering her white, now see-through shirt. "Wulf! Oh... hi..."

[Raven]

Wulf held the towel out to her without a word.

[Gifted]

Sasha smiled. "Thanks." She took the towel. "And thanks for standing up for me."

[Raven]

"You're welcome," Wulf agreed. "You should wash those right away."

[Gifted]

"I will." She assured him.

[Raven]

"I'll let you get changed." He nodded and went to the kitchen.
