Blaine walks through the archway into headquarters and reports his last jobs at the receptionist counter, "Hello Josie, I am happy to report the successful joining of my new soul into its vessel."

"Awesome, it is always so nice when a new soul is made for a well deserving loving family," Josie replies with a smile.

"It was definitely an experience unlike any other I've had before," Blaine says. "Anyway, the second job was a bit nerve racking."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHsUWol38en
"Oh no, what happened?" She says with a worried tone.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMxlufHh9Ry
"Well, you know the sudden rescues that could happen, they pull the next available guardian without any warning. I was pulled into a street where I had but mere seconds to react seeing a car about to hit a child on a bicycle. I was able to get the car to sway past the child by flapping a gust of wind at the car with my wings, but man... If that wasn't scary..." He explains.

"Wow, great quick thinking, I don't know how you guys can handle those situations so well, I would be so scared," she replies.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA7aFSsnJzso
"It is definitely not an easy job, anyway, nice seeing you. Talk to you later." Blaine says waving her off and walking towards the bulletin board.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAYkWmKuZ665
As he looks at the bulletin board it is completely empty, only the sights of other guardians coming up every few minutes to collect a job. Well, seems I'm done for the day. He turns towards the archway to start heading out when he notices a beautiful, blonde, green-eyed, guardian angel with wings so white they look like they radiate energy out of them. Blaine starts to get weird feeling in his stomach every time he sees her. He has never understood why he always feels like that around her. He also gets a sense, a need to protect her, to care for her, to be with her. It made no sense, was it because
she is his mentee? Do other mentors feel like this with the angels they teach? Does Jonas feel like this with me?
201Please respect copyright.PENANAaegTMPwArF
"Hey Blaine," Blaine comes back into consciousness from being lost in thought after hearing a voice directed at him. He now sees the guardian angel in front of him smiling, her wings now retracted.

"Oh, hello Amelia, looking lovely today," Blaine says.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdUAYcK3yKY
"Aww, thank you Blaine. Just got back from helping a charge giving a speech at her college," She replies.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHIG4yw0yle
"Oh, that's great, I just had a charge needing help with a presentation at work the other day, looks like we are having the same type of jobs... Hehe," he says with a laugh.
201Please respect copyright.PENANArjGAlk9frm
Amelia, laughing along with Blaine, looks at the board and picks up at job, "Well, I have another job, nice seeing you, Blaine." She gives Blaine a hug and leaves to complete her new job.
201Please respect copyright.PENANATnRcxSz5Kp
Blaine looks at the board one more time, still nothing for him. He decides to go over to the monitoring station, he liked just flipping through and seeing humans living their lives. Especially when he would find one doing extraordinary things helping others or just doing something for the benefit of the community. Just being someone trying to make a difference in the world for the better. As he flips through the different views in the monitor, he stops at the view from one human male in his late twenties wearing a dirty yellow t-shirt and dirty, faded jeans.

Frank is walking down main street in New York City; he is collecting garbage he sees lying on the ground and taking it to the nearest trash can as he continues to walk. There doesn't seem to be any reason behind him doing that, just a man helping out to keep the city streets clean. Another young man comes up to him with a knife and threatens him to give him any money he has. "It's okay man, if you need money, all you have to do is ask, put the knife away," Frank says motioning his hands telling him to calm down. Frank
grabs his wallet and pulls out the twenty-dollar bill he had for the day.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAoYgDGvfku6
"Here you go man, it's all I have as you can see, you can have it," he says handing him the money and showing the empty wallet.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbq3lrQ1bO3
The young man pulls the money off his hands harshly and runs off. Frank just continues walking, smiling as if he wasn't just mugged and now had no money left to get him through the day.

A few hours pass, Frank has walked quite a few blocks, helping people along the way with simple things. He helped a lady carry a heavy box from a store to the trunk of her car. A store clerk was having a hard time stocking up shelves and dealing with an unusual number of customers coming in, so Frank offered his help and started stocking up the shelves for him. The clerk was able to deal with all of the customers successfully and the shelves were fully stocked. He tried to pay Frank for the work, but he denied it. "It's all good man, I only did it to help you out. I noticed how stressed you were getting with the rush of customers," he tells the clerk. The clerk still tried to pay him, taking out some cash out of the register, but Frank just waved him off and walked away.

Now just a few blocks from main street, he sees the young man that mugged him again. This time the young man seems to be laying on the ground, bruises on his face and arms. "Hey man, are you alright? What happened?" Frank asks crouching down next to him.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9qxqUfqU5
"Get away man, this doesn't concern you," he replies holding on to his left side as he struggles to stand up.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAQgu8rKJ8jZ
Frank grabs him by the arm and helps him stand up, "You look like you need help, let me help you get to the hospital."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJdhRYpsBz3
The young man does not say anything and lets him help to stand up. The hospital luckily happened to be just a block away around the corner. Frank put the young man's arm over his shoulders and helped him steady him as they walked down the street towards the hospital. As they got to the hospital and the nurses started to help the young man to get help, the young man looks at Frank, "Why are you doing this after what I did to you?" He asks.
"It's all good man, I said you could have the money, it was no trouble. Besides, even if you had done something really bad at me, I would still help you. There is no need for grudges or hate towards a person. When someone needs help, you should always be there to help, regardless of previous experiences in the past. If I had left you there on the ground it would not have made me any different than you for mugging me, or the people that did this to you. Do onto others what you want others to do onto you. So don't you worry, I'm all good, and so will you."

Wow, what a person Frank is. Blaine was amazed at the kindness of the human he watched from the monitor. Watching him help everyone he met along his walk, with no reason, no expectations. Just because he wanted to help. And then to so willfully help another human who meant him harm previously, that man is truly someone pure of heart. Someone full of love, love for the environment, love for his peers, love for himself. He might not have much, but he lives like someone who has it all.

Blaine steps away from the monitor and heads out to the main room towards the archway. As he passes by the board, he notices a note is now waiting for him. He walks over the board and picks it up, "Jason, age 15."
