Abby was watching the boy pick up his friend when Astrid started to scream. Whipping around, she saw the winged girl... pulling on her wings. She was pulling out feathers by the handful. Not paying anymore attention to the boys, the blonde raced over to her friend.

"Astrid, easy. Easy." The more feathers she pulled out, the more worried Abby became. She had done some looking after they first met. New mutations were always fun to try to figure out. Grabbing hold of Astrid's hands, Abbigail pulled them away from the feathered appendages. "It's okay. Breathe with me, Astrid."

Taking a deep breath, the small girl became to exaggerated her breathing, hoping her somewhat-friend would follow her lead. Holding their hand's tight together, she completely ignored the security guards when they came. All her focus was on Astrid.

Astrid's call was all the encouragement Abby needed for her actions. These jokers thought they could insult them and get away with it. If it was Astrid by herself... the little blonde wondered if the older girl even knew what all was implied.

The apology from one of the boys was nice. At least someone realized they were wrong.

Then one of the other boys moved closer, even leaning into her space. She listened as he called her kiddo, told her she didn't know what she was saying (which yes, most of it was just things she'd heard others say but she knew they were insults), tell her he was "older and bigger and smarter" than her, and then threaten her.

Abbigail scoffed inside. This boy wasn't anything. She took lessons on self-defense from X-Men. This boy was nothing. And he was leaving himself wide open. Putting on her best pout, the one that she used to use on Daddy, Abby ducked her head a little.

"I'm sorry," she whimpered. Then as the boy moved to lean away from her, she struck. The dress she was wearing made her slower than she'd like, but she was still faster than the boy could react. Her leg went high enough to hit him wear it hurt though. "But if you think you're smarter than me, I think you need to take another look."

Dropping her leg, she moved closer to Astrid. Worst thing she could do was give him an easy hit. She smiled smugly as the boy groaned, grabbed his crotch, and fell to his knees.

The pain-filled plea had Abbigail moving as quick as she could to the window. She tripped a little over her own feet but wrapped the fabric around her hands and pulled the curtains shut. Huffing a little she turned around to look into her now very dark room. She couldn't see under the bed from where she was standing, but she hoped the other girl wasn't hurt more.

"What-" A gulp of air made her pause. "What can I do now?"

Abby giggled as Sam read from the paper in his head. It didn't sound all that secret-y but maybe it was just the first paper he grabbed. Hearing she was hired made her jump a little.

Abby didn't actually know what would be a good amount of money to be paid. So she said the first number that popped in her head. "Eight?" Eight seemed like a good number. She knew some of the older teens had jobs that paid about that much, if she remembered right. "And I can keep all the secrets!" she told him proudly. There weren't too many people she would tell anyway. And if Sam wanted it to be secret she could do that. "I promise I'll work really hard. You won't regret it!"

>>"What do you say, want to go talk to Doc Prof, or leave it at that?"

"Uh," she paused. She had a job now. Was there really a reason to go see the Doc? Would it be like asking for too much. Shaking her head, Abby decided. "No, I think I should only do one."

The little blonde bounced on her toes as the trio entered the cafe. Tea party! This was going to be so much fun! It looked like a princess cafe as she looked around. She caught a few glimpses of cats roaming around but didn't really understand until they were seated and the waitress was talking to them. She really should have paid more attention but once she saw the kittens with the waitress, the teens attention was focused on the cute baby cats.

There was a tortoise shell kitten hiding in the corner of the apron. Half it's face was the lighter brown color of the coat. Bright green eyes peered around it's siblings at Abby. A single paw with a stripe of white in the middle of the top of the paw escaped the top of the apron and waved at the girl.

As their waitress mentioned adoption Abby recalled the school's rules on pets. She got away with her fish tank since it wasn't like her fish could go walk around, but a kitten or puppy probably wouldn't be allowed. She still wasn't sure how Adder got his kitten.

>>"I would like to hold one, please. Abbigail?"

Abby turned to look at Maya in wonder. "I can hold one?"

The woman standing in front of their table laughed. "Course you can, Hun. Looks like little Drizzle here's taken a liking to you. Wanna hold her?" Nodding quickly, Abby bounced a little as the waitress handed over the kitten. "I'm a little shocked, honestly. She's been pretty shy since she and her litter-mates got here."

Green eyes stared into equally green as the kitten and girl watched each other. Abby was the first to blink. In her triumph, the kitten climbed onto the girl's shoulder and laid there. Abby didn't really pay much attention to the adults. She was too enamored with her kitten.

It took a moment for Abby to understand exactly what the older girl said. When she did, a wave of embarrassed anger filled her. As her face tinted pink with the emotion, the blonde turned back to the line. By the time she got her emotions under control, she was at the front. Paying for her purchases, she slid away from the counter and over to a display just inside the door.

Shifting through her purchases, she figured out which of her bags had the least in it. Finding it, she slipped the Bosom Buddies bag inside. No need to advertise where she went. Now what else did she have to do today?

She got presents. New bras. Oh! That's right the crystal mug. Pulling the newspaper wrapped mug out of the bags, she waited until Astrid was close enough for her to shove the item at the older girl.  "Here."
