Though she was of only ten-years of age, she was still being treated like vermin. The Tribunal chased her down and kept running after her, even though she didn't seem to have any powers. They believed to be serving God, hunting Super Children down and destroying them. So why did this girl not resist? It was simple. Her powers could not be manifested while she was awake. As a result, she was forced to run instead, hoping to get away. Sadly, it was not to be. As she ran through the rainforest that had greeted her when she first came through the portal, she found herself stumbling over a root that came up and ended up getting caught by the one of the Tribunal members who slammed her against the tree.
This guy... was a douche. Normally the Tribunal would just kill and be done with it. The nice ones would offer a prayer, asking God to overlook the devil's power inside their prey and take their souls into Heaven anyway, knowing the powers came beyond their controls. This guy was not nice or normal. Instead of killing Lucy outright, he began to pound her face in with the gun, calling her out on running away, until one of the others pulled him away from her. "The bitch led us on a chase that took hours!" he yelled.
"She's still just a child, you jackass! Now I will dispose of her in an orderly fashion and you will report back to HQ..."
"I have a better idea gents." The two turned to see a green-haired youth standing there, golden eyes burning with fires of anger. "I kill you two and take the girl home."
"CRAP! The tiger guy! Quick, while we have a chance, fire upon him...!"

Too late. MUCH too late.
As usual, Michiko's prediction was uncanny. Right in the middle of the Rainforest, another Tribunal attack, just as she saw. She must've been training herself hard.
Needless to say, posed behind the Feline Super Child, Fletcher hovered in the brush, and opened fire.

"DAMNIT!" They were now unarmed. Trevor walked towards them as they looked ready to fight. He smirked and, in the blink of an eye followed by a couple of sword strokes, the man that had beat Lucy's face in was disarmed, not to mention he was bleeding from his crotch. He then kicked the screaming man over onto his side and looked at the others with a satisfied smirk.
"Anyone else want to test me?" he asked.
They all wisely backed off and ran away. The other guy just laid there, bleeding, and Trevor took one blade and thrust it into his heart, leaving it there and dropping the other blade as he went and picked the shaking Lucy up, holding her softly and petting her hair. "Seems Michiko's keen as ever, eh?" he asked, trying to comfort Lucy.

Fletcher nodded, slipping his weapons back into their holsters. When the last of the group dispersed, he apporached the two and knelt down to the girl's height. "Are you alright?" He grimaced a little upon inspection. "Mm, that lout roughed you up a fair bit..."

"Hurts," Lucy said, clinging to Trevor.
"We'll get ya fixed up. Got some friends back at home who can do that," Trevor said. "Fletcher, the girl was chased by the Tribunal. Can we assume she's also a Super Child, even so young? It seems impossible, but... Well, this is the reality of the world we're in. The impossible always happens."

Fletcher shrugged. "Remember, Perceval awoke at the age of eight. Eighteen is the average age, but not always the case." He nodded. "But yes, I'd say this one needs to come back with us to Bonsai Village, posthaste."

"What a vacation!" Trevor said. "Oh well... as expected here." He then handed Lucy to Fletcher. "You can fly, avoid most of the trouble, and you have a lover to get back to. I'll scout around some, make sure no more of the... jerks are hiding. Don't want an incident like in the park to go down again."

Fletcher nodded glumly at the memory. "...of course." And with that, he took off with Lucy in hand, floating over the trees. "You're going to be just fine... the village isn't far."

Lucy trembled softly and then buried her head into Fletcher's chest, frightened at everything that was going on. She wanted to go home, but home was unsafe now. She felt alone in the world, wanting companionship.

Gently, Fletcher touched down in Bonsai Village, noting her soft trembling and shushed her gently. "Don't you worry... our little cabin is warm, and we can get someone to heal you."
With that, he stepped inside the fair-sized cabin the entire group had taken temporary residence in since the attack. "...I'm back. Trevor's on his way."
"So soon?" Fleetfoot spoke up, noting the girl. "Oh... oh my."
"She was... attacked in the rain forest," Fletcher explained tightly. "...by the Tribunal."
"Them AGAIN!!?"
"Sheesh... they can NEVER leave us alone..."

"For people who claim to be doing God's work, they know how to screw it up completely," Masahiro said, typing away on a laptop, examining data. "They're going to suffer for their hypocracy someday."
"So much for our perfect vacation indeed," Felix said as he brought himself over to Fletcher. "... Why would anyone do such a thing to a child?"

Percy was intently watching Masahiro flip through digital pages, but he frowned up at the poor girl as well.
"Oh, my..." Double D was on his feet beside Felix, examining the girl and holding out his arms. "Please, allow me. I'll do what I can to make her comfortable for now."
"Please do," Fletcher handed Lucy over to the angel gently. "These ones were crueler than usual."
"I can see... oh, you poor thing..."

Lucy clung to Double D as she was transferred over to him, shuddering still.
"She seems upset. After healing her, she might need some rest," Masahiro said.
"Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out though," Felix said.

"Of course," Double D nodded, bringing her into one of the few, smaller bedrooms that was reserved for his small family. He laid Lucy down on the bed beside Marion, who had been busying herself. Looking up, she held up the crayon set to show her father.
"Daddy? Can we color some more?"
"Of course we can, in just a moment," Edd assured her, his hands already glowing as he positioned himself above Lucy. "This girl needs help first."
Marion 'oooh'ed and nodded, taking to watching him heal the girl.

Lucy laid down and noticed someone out of the corner of her eyes. King was sleeping, but he was also shuddering, as if in some sort of distress, despite being covered up.
