"Where you off to, Little Man?" Gunn asked, as he noticed William heading towards the door.
"Gonna play with Kaya."
"Did you ask-?"
"Yeah." He cut off the African-American. "She's gonna let me meet Jimmy."
"Who's Jimmy?"
"Kaya's fwiend. He can make fiwes! Bye!" He left the room, and ran to Kayla's, and entered after knocking.
"What took so long?" She asked.
"Unca Gunn asked me stuff." He replied, sitting down next to her.
"Jimmy's on his way." She informed, and he nodded. "Do you wanna see anything?"
He giggled. "My mummy."
She did, and he stared at her for a long time.
As she dissappeared, a boy, around nine, ran in.
"Sorry i'm late, I had to sneak out again." He said. He looked down at William. "Hey, i'm Jimmy. Who're you?"
"I'm Wiyam."
"What did you do to get put here?" He asked, and Kayla put a finger to her lips, and his eye brows rose, and he nodded.
"Nothing." William said, looking confused. "Did you do something?"
"Made a building burn down." He shrugged. "Wanna see?" When he nodded vigourisly, Jimmy held out his palm, and, a moment later, a fireball appeared, seemingly *on* his palm.
"Wow! Can you teach me?"
Jimmy shook his head and ruffled William's hair. "Sorry, kiddo, it's not a thing you can learn."
He pouted.
Soon, they were all playing, Jimmy causing little fires, and Kayla making their wishes come true in the room.
"Do you know what i'm gonna do one day?" Jimmy asked, and both of the younger kids shook their heads. "I'm gonna burn this place into the ground, and go home. All of us will go home again."
"We'll be free." Kayla said wistfully.
*****************************************************************************************************
William watched as the last of the kids were pulled out by the firemen.
He looked around. The grown-ups from the building were all huddled together. The kids with the powers were in a group with a few adults watching them. A few of the families were huddled. But he couldn't see Jimmy...
After a moment, he did. Jimmy was being held between two adults, crying. He tried to get back into the building.
William broke from Connor's lax hold to run over to him.
"Jimmy! Jimmy!" He fainlly reached the older boy. "What's a matta?"
Jimmy tried to shrug off the adults, but they wouldn't let go. He scowled. "Let me go, or i'll toast you." They let go, and Jimmy fell to his knees, and took William into his arms. "My dad's gone, Will. He caused the fire."
"Is he dead?" He asked, innocently. Jimmy nodded, but kept his head bowed. "That's ok. I don't have a daddy."
Jimmy smiled slightly. "Don't have a mum either, kiddo. You'd best go back to your family."
William shook his head stubbornly. "You come too. Gampa wiw wook afta you."
"I'll be a danger to them, Will. Go one, now. Go to them."
"You can't hurt 'em. Gampa and Unca Conna, and Aunt Lira are all super strong. And Unca Gunn's real strong! You can't hurt them, honest!"
Looking into William's large, innocent eyes, Jimmy nodded. He'd go.
William grabbed his trousers leg to drag him over to his family.
Angel picked William up. "Stop running off." He chastised.
"Sowwie. Gampa, can Jimmy come? He's got no mummy or daddy."
After a while, it was agreed that Jimmy would come with them. After all, one vampire-turned-human, one ex god, one vampire-turned-human-child, one child of two vampires, and one strong hunter could always use help.
Gunn had his hands on Jimmy's shoulders, as they moved as one away from the scene without being noticed.
Yet again, a stange force surrounded them, Jimmy also, since he was being touched on the shoulders by Gunn, and they were spiraled away.
********************************************************************************************************
"Where are we?" Gunn asked, as he rubbed his head where he'd met with the concrete floor, head first.
Angel was the first to recover, and look around.
"We're home. This is L.A."
