Lost Princesses

Sky

Samantha is disturbed by hunger that seems to force her out of dreamland. He straightened his body still with his eyes closed, until it finally opened and looked towards the clock that circular sweet in his hand.

One hour, he slept for up to an hour and it feels like his eyes still want to close and dive into dreamland. Then Samantha remembered that the professor told her to wait in this lab room.

His eyes traced the lab room, but found no one here but the people in the tube like the dead. Samantha stood up and made a stretch, to be honest Samantha felt her body so stiff because lately just sitting in front of a laptop screen and writing a lot of complicated things that sucks.

After feeling his body relax, he picked up his tab. As he was about to step out of the room, he heard a knock.

Geck, tok, tok.

The voice sounded very slow, but continued to sound until it made Sam curious. He decided to check where the sound was coming from, his steps were slow and his eyes went through the room while his ears sharpened his hearing.

After following the direction of the voice, he arrived at the middle of the third row of the Healing Chamber. The sound came from one of those tubes, Samantha approached the tube which gave off a smooth sound of constant knocking.

His eyes widened as soon as he saw a figure staring at him from inside the tube. Just like when Mars was, Samantha looks enthusiastic. He brought his face closer to the glass tube. Trying to see the figure inside.

Samantha can see if the figure inside is the figure of a small child who may be around three years old. His hand was pressed against the side of the glass right in front of the tiny face that was still staring at him. The sound of the knock was made by a small hand that was currently still raised close to the glass.

Samantha introduced her name to the boy, but she was still as foolish as little Samantha who introduced herself to the little Mars that was still in the tube.

Realizing that the figure in the tube was staring at her confusedly, Samantha realized her absurdity. He looked at the screen above the little boy's tube, a normal heartbeat with everything looking very good. Samantha hesitates about taking the little boy out. He was afraid that the child was not ready to come out of the tube.

Samantha looked pityfully at the little boy, she showed off her smile at the figure in the tube. His face was not so clear because it was covered with green liquid, Samantha put her face closer to the glass tube.

Looking up at the knocking that the tiny hand was starting to do again, Samantha imitated what the little boy was doing in the tube. They both like the activity of tapping on the glass as if they are communicating through the beat.

Until they both don't realize someone saw what they did with a frown on his forehead.

“Hey, you guys like it?” the voice stopped the movement of their hands, it shifted their focus.

“Prof, he seems to want out!” exclaim Samantha enthusiast.

“Ya, we will wait for Xavier to come.”

Professor Shin checked the condition of the child in the tube through the screen above. He smiled at Samantha, telling her it was time.

Xavier arrived after a few minutes, he saw Samantha rubbing her head as she passed him. Look at the little boy in the tube who looks like he's been dying to get out of there.

“You're lucky to see him out for the first time, you remember when Mars first came out?” ask Samantha who nodded yes.

“Is he like Mars, need a chip on his head?” ask Samantha who doesn't understand why Xavier reminds her of Mars.

“No, he has another privilege. You're ready to be surprised, I hope you won't talk about his nudity like you used to!” Samantha blushed, she recalled when Mars had just come out naked.

“Quiet, I have brought a shirt this time,” said Professor Shin who added a red hue on the girl's face.

“You ready?” ask Xavier who is Samantha's.

Just like when Mars was, Xavier pulled out an oxygen hose that made the child move restlessly in search of air. The glass wall was open, green water spilled out displaying an adorable little figure.

But there were different things that made Samantha surprised, she even closed her mouth which almost just screamed. He was completely shocked by the black tiny wings on the boy's back.

Samantha turned towards Xavier who was smiling towards her. He looked back at the small figure who was wrapped in a cloth that hid his nakedness.

“You are shameless, looking at me until your eyes will come off when I am naked!” the tiny voice made Samantha ashamed, she used to say that to Mars, but now the boy instead humiliates her.

However, he had to get rejected because the little boy ran closer to Xavier. It invited laughter until Professor Shin was also unable to hold back his laughter.

“He only knows me and Archer here. You scared her of stupid girls!” Samantha was shaking her lips.

He followed Xavier's steps which the little boy also followed. Samantha still desperately wanted to hug the little figure, she wanted to take a closer look at the tiny wings on her back.

They were currently waiting for the child to finish bathing and change clothes. Samantha waited while filling her stomach that had thrashed wanted to be filled from earlier. While the child was taken by the Professor to be helped cleaned and checked his health.

“He's a mutant? Or demons? If angels are white wings,” asked Samantha who got the pen throw.

“He's a mutant! His name, Sky” replied Xavier shook his head because Samantha had considered the child a demon.

Xavier then recounts the moment he first saved the boy from the murder of his own father. It is unfortunate that the fate of the little boy because at his age he had to survive the torment of his biological father.

Sky was born different, he had a mixture of mutant and human blood, just like Samantha. However, she has a unfortunate fate because her human mother died while giving birth to her. The father was so angry that he was about to kill him right then and there because his wife died.

The older brother of his wife who was Sky's uncle foiled the murder, but little Sky continues to get torment in the care of his biological father. The peak when the father wanted to drop the three-year-old little Sky from the balcony of the fifth floor of his apartment. Luckily Xavier who had been monitoring from afar could save him and bring him to the House of Talent.

Sky did not dare to come out of the apartment because he had been stoned because he was considered a child of the devil, just like Samantha earlier.

The father is a mutant who can control gravity, so where the genes on Sky can wing it is also a mystery.

Samantha was sad to hear the life story of the tiny winged creature. Although he was also separated from his family, at least he had felt the affection of his family members who were willing to accept his condition which had healing talent.

Samantha understands why the House of Talent continues to gather mutants to be strong, in addition to being taught to protect themselves, here they also get absolute protection from Xavier.

“Can I ask you something, Sam?” xavier asked Sam who was still silent.

“Hemm?”

“Help me take care of him later, you know I'll be very busy!” xavier said indifferently, as if his request was a decision that could not be denied.

“Why not Archer alone, he will ever take care of the skin!” tukas Samantha does not accept, he alone is currently taking care of himself can not, let alone have to take care of small children.

“Archer many missions, later Alice will also help you!”

Samantha thought for a while, then came the idea that made her smile, “I'll take care of her with Mars, but my punishment helped Prof Shin finish!”

Like someone who was proposing a deal, Samantha also showed a serious face.

“No!” reject Xavier without objection, because Samantha is lazy to argue.

Samantha chose to finish her meal instead of arguing with Xavier and ended up in absolute defeat.
