Aurora/Phoenix:
I blew on the spoonful of soup before offering it to Jai. He was sitting up against the pillows, in a fresh hospital gown, after a shower that he had taken with the help of the staff.
"Careful. It's hot," I warned him.
He leaned forward, sipping it slowly, "Not hotter than you," he said with a wink, "By the way, when did you get these superpowers to heal someone, or was it the first time?"
I rolled my eyes, scooping up more soup, "And since when did you start cold wars with Alpha Blake and Brian? That was so awkward."
He chuckled low, "Touché."
I spread my lips into a fake smile and pushed the spoon into his mouth.
"You never asked me what happened to my face," I remarked quietly, staring at the bowl for a second before glancing up.
The question had been bugging me ever since he started treating my face with worms. And now the same question had wiped the smile off his face.
