Sometimes, the worst part about being a phoenix is you have the memories of your ancestors. Technically, they aren’t your ancestors. They are all you, reincarnated from the ashes of destruction. Most of the time, they remain in the background, reliving the past or gazing silently at the present, but when I am disturbed, they come forward and offer their advice. It was advantageous when I drew on them for battle techniques or magical knowledge, but not for what to do about Tara. What did they know about modern women?

“I may not know your modern women, but I know a lot about Spartan women,” reminded an ancestor. “The way I see it, they aren’t so different. The more you try to protect them, the weaker it makes them feel. The weaker they are made to feel, the unhappier they get about it. It’s better to empower them.”

It was just then that I bumped into my friend, Daniel. We made a little small talk, then I told him about how an FBI agent under my protection had discovered a troll clan, and how afraid I was that something would happen to her. He told me he had the same kind of problems when he first met Tanya. She wanted to do everything on her own. Now, she was a strong team member and learning more about handling mythological creatures every day. “You’ve got to let her in, make her a partner. Show her a few of your moves. She’ll respect you more for it.”

I had been defeated by my best friend and my own memories! There wasn’t much else I could do beside return our apartment with peace offerings. I stopped at a confectionary and picked up a box of candied dates, a tray of baklava and some mixed chocolates. I thought about some flowers but decided that may be overdoing it.

I deposited the sweets in the kitchen, then headed for my room. I was surprised to meet Tara in the hallway. It was as good a place as any for telling her I was sorry, so I started my spiel. She tried to interrupt me, but I made it through most of the important stuff before she could. I must have said all the right things because she put her arms around my neck. All she was wearing was the oversized shirt. When she pressed herself against me, I caught a view of a nice, round bottom.

I was going to tell her about the candy, but she said, “come with me”, and I followed her like a lamb to Todd’s bedroom. The tension that had filled the room earlier was gone. Adrien was sitting sideways in a chair, his crossed legs dangling over one arm, wearing nothing except a towel around his waist. He was amusing himself by playing a video game on his laptop.

Todd must have been feeling better. He sat on the edge of his bed, his feet on the floor, a terry cloth robe hiding his nudity. Thaddeus was sitting beside him, with only a sheet drawn up around his waist.
