Ben puts his hand on her face, pushing her back. “Augh, I don’t care! Pass out somewhere else.” He grumbles.

“He tripped?” Cage looks over to Gabriel. “But… wasn’t there blood? Where is it?”

Silver sighed, rubbing her forehead. "I'm sorry. I was just started to see you there when I woke up. Is Gabriel okay?" She swung her legs off the bed and tried to stand up, but her head started swimming again so she plopped back down, squeezing her eyes shut.

"Shh, shh." Miki said, trying to keep him from looking. "Violet cleaned him up. He's okay now. It wasn't as bad as it looked."

Not with Gabriel again.
He leans down, putting his hand on her arm.
"Are you okay?"

Cage stares, obviously confused, and gives a small sigh.
"Okay." He whispers.

Kissa puts her face near the wound, only to have it shoved away by Gabriel. She hisses and he glares at her, pulling his shirt down.
Enough.

Silver blinked, nodding slowly. "I… think so. I just got really dizzy for a second."

Miki patted Cage's shoulder and left him, going into the kitchen to get a rag to help Violet and Gabriel clean up. She came up to Gabriel, raising an eyebrow and holding up the rag. "Please clean yourself up because neither of us want me to clean you up."

Ben squats in front of her bed, trying to make eye contact with her. "Did you hit your head? I should bring Violet up here."

He takes the rag from her hand, narrowing his eyes.
Don't touch me.
He raises his shirt and begins to scrub the blood off.

She frowned. "I don't think so…? I just remember throwing up and my head throbbing and my vision going black." she put a hand to her forehead. "What happened?"

Miki grinned, pointing a finger-gun at him before returning to the kitchen to clean out the sink.

Aaaaaah.
“Well….” He draws the word out, trying to think of what actually did happen. “I think Gabriel fell from the balcony? And there was some blood. Who knew you had a weak stomach?” He smiles, trying to play down the whole scene.

Silver squinted at Ben. "Weak stomach? Ben, Gabriel had a bone sticking out of him. Is he even okay? We can't take him to the hospital or anything." She tried to stand up again. "I need to check on him."

He sets a hand on her shoulder. “Sil, don’t worry. He’s fine. Vi fixed it.”

Violet sighs, rubbing her forehead and closing her eyes.
Im just-
i need a nap.

Silver paused, frowning at him. "Fixed it, Ben? You can't fix a freaking PROTRUDING rib, Ben! You can't just put duck tape on it!"

Miki finished cleaning the sink and turned back to her food she left on the counter. "Maaaaan, my food's cold!"

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?"
