"L-Love?" She began before watching him draw little stars and birds on the page. Oh god. He was a Shadowbird and Galaxy shipper. Of course. Her crush believed that she, Shadowbird, should be with the likes of Galaxy. Not that she didn't like Galaxy as a friend and enjoy his company at times, but he was... just not her type. She loved Orion, sweet, caring, seemingly shy Orion. Ari could guess he was someone who owned Shadowbird action figures. No, she wasn't cool enough for him to own that... It'd be so cool if he did though... If only he knew who she really was...

Lost in thought Ari nodded her head unconsciously. "Huh... uh huh. yea..." She read the word on the top of the page, wondering why he had crumpled the other paper and thrown it away. Perhaps he was upset about the incident that happened downtown the other day. There was no doubt Shadowbird fanboys all over were mad at Galaxy for hurting her. "Are you upset about something..?" Ari asked slowly. Her nerves seemed to have calmed down a bit. Carefully she took her own pen and started drawing at the bottom of the page. The birds and stars she drew seemed to be flying toward each other as if they were colliding or maybe even fighting? Then below that she drew a large star with a bird in the middle. "With team work they succeeded. I'm guessing you watch the news?"

Ari blushed as Orion sat next to her. She made a nervous sound and looked away. "Er.. Um.. Yea.. it does." Her breathing quickened and she was rather flustered. This was how she got whenever she looked at him or whenever he was close. "S-sorry I guess I'm just a little sick still or something!" Ari bit her lip a little nervous. "S-so. What do you want to do the project on?" She braved it and turned her head to look at him. "I th-think we could do it on... I don't know actually." Although she was making a fool of herself in front of Orion is was a miracle she could actually form words, normally when she tried to talk to him it was just noises. Cali glanced over to Ari and laughed a bit to herself. This girl was hopeless. The teen girl sitting next to Orion hung her head in shame. "I'm sorry..." She whispered. "I'm just awkward to be completely honest." Her voice sounded rather defeated.

She really wished she could be like her alter ego, Shadowbird. Shadowbird was always confident and brave. Never afraid of anything. But Ari was weak and pathetic. There was nothing really to be done about it. They were paired up and Ari would have to get used to being around him if she was going to complete this project.

"21st Chamberlain Street... live with your uncle..." She cast her gaze on Whip's beautiful face now tarnished. "Austin...?" Her tear-filled eyes widened. "Austin!" She whispered loudly. Shadow's heart beat even faster in her chest, trying to escape. All the times... all the time he had flirted with her, all the times he held her hand... the time they had kissed. It was her crush the whole time and he had feelings for Shadowbird. Would he have the same feelings for Ari Gray the girl no one noticed? She doubted it. "D-don't worry. I won't let you die!" She told him, her voice wavering. With all her strength, she took him into her arms, carrying him bridle style toward an ambulance that had pulled. "Please. Please you have to help him." Shadowbird begged. They took Whiplash from her arms and began attempting to save him with little luck. The EMTs removed the sword from his chest on the spot and were going to do emergency surgery on him but he had already lost to much blood. "We have to get him to the hospital!" One said.

"No! No you can't take him." As much as she wanted them to help Whiplash, she couldn't let his secret identity be compromised. "J-just hand him over."

"We can't do that Shadowbird, this young man is going to die. we have to get him to the hospital, now!" The driver of the ambulance told her.

"NO." She scooped him up off of the gurney and teleported onto a rooftop. "I'm sorry, Austin. I'm sorry..." She fell to her knees and pressed her forehead lightly against his. "Tell me what to do... please..."

"Oof!" She was pushed out of the way in the nick of time. However, at the cost of her partner's life. Shadow stood up once again and looked toward where Whiplash was. Her eyes grew wide beneath her mask. His blood pooled beneath him and his arm was crushed beneath the mass of Berserker who he had managed to kill. It wasn't usually her style to kill but he had done it to save her.

"Whip!!" She teleported to her partners side and knelt down next to him. "Oh god, Whiplash. What have you done!? You should have just let him crush me!" Tears filled her eyes and with all her strength she attempted to pull Whiplash out from under Berserker. Once she had him out she reached to take the blade from his heart unsure of what to do. "Wh-Whip. Tell me what to do! How do I help you??" She couldn't look at his face, his eye was punctured and it was bleeding everywhere.

She was being reckless and she knew it. Somehow she had to regain herself and focus on the task at hand. Shadowbird stood up and dusted herself off once more. While thinking about recovering, she spun her bo staff and planted the end onto the ground, leaning on it. "What should we do, Whip? He seems to have gotten a lot stronger."

They both watched as Berserker stood back up and huffed at them both. "YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME??" He raged.

"Um. Well, yes actually." Shadowbird laughed a little at herself. "Come on, Whiplash, you and me." She charged at Berserker and when she got close, used her bo staff as leverage to leap over him. Then she rapidly replaced her bo staff onto her back and pulled out her pistols to fire her paint balls at the beasts back. The paint balls did little to know damage but managed to irritate the beast more.

Shadowbird tried to remember how she beat this guy the first time, something about getting blows to the head. Right. That was the only way, that was his weak spot. It would have to do. Before she could fire more, this time at his head, Berserker pulled a fast one, turning to charge at her. This time she was prepared. She teleported out of the way but he once again was ready for this. He threw his arm out toward her, throwing her across the ground once more. He was fast, faster than she remembered.

Berserker lept up into the air and got ready to land straight onto the downed Shadowbird. She stood up clutching her stomach, she hadn't noticed he was coming from above, she was too busy getting back up and by the time she looked up it was too late.
