Fire is giving. It gives warmth, light and company. But it also takes away, destroying everything it touches. Just because Spitfire’s talent is being a pyromaniac, doesn’t mean she’s not flammable. But being Captain of the Wonderbolts requires guts, fearlessness, bravery and nerve in the face of danger. So why is it that she is so terrified she is unable to trust anyone? That is, anyone except for the one person she knows has the utmost loyalty. Although the issue at hand will have to be handled with metaphorical oven mitts, she wouldn’t want Rainbow Dash to get burnt.
