"I've got to go breathe for a second, guys." Jane finally said, and stood.

In truth, Jane felt nothing like the great hero her friends expected or needed. Not as the person who, at age seven, had to sit down and go through the motions of buttoning her jeans. Or the girl who'd broken her arm showing her brother how to jump... off the roof. ("DO IT FOR THE VINE, JAKE!") Not as the girl who'd once taken a dare to eat a... actually, she didn't want to think of that. They thought of her as a time-manipulator, an impressive ymbre. Haver of visions.
She drifted off as to what her parents were doing... probably looking for their bodies, at most. She thought a while until she heard Millard's calls for her.
"Hey, Mill." she said. She tried not to think.
I need to get them out of here alive.
I'm not capable enough.
We're all going to die.
"Are you... all right?"
"Well, to say it simply," she sighed. "No."
"I'm sorry about that back there with Enoch and all that. I know you've got a bit on your plate..."
"It's okay, Millard." she said softly, then shivered. It was freezing out there, and her lips were blue.
"You're freezing to death, Jane. Here." he took off his jacket, and draped it around her. She smiled, and then frowned.
"How are all of you so sure I'm going to succeed? How do you believe in me?"
"Because. You're... a genius, Jane." She blushed. "You know what to do, and you're..." she could feel him heat up as well. She wrapped him in her arms. They sat in silence, just hugging. Millard started to speak again, but Jane stopped him with a kiss.
"When we get Miss Peregrine, she could send you home." Millard said, pulling away.
"Why?"
"Because... I don't think you're happy here."
"What!"
"There's so much more out there for you."
"You can't be serious."
"I am, I'm afraid."
"Well, for the first time, you're wrong. There's nothing for me there, and everything for me here. There's you, Evelyn, Victor... Everyone I love is here. The family I never had." She felt something on her shoulder, and she dared not move. She didn't even breathe. She felt it move, and after a minute, realized it was Millard's head. He suddenly let his mind catch up with his actions, and jolted back like he was being shocked.
"What's wrong?" she asked, feeling uneasy. She felt something strange within her, like a monster awaking, like a butterfly unfurling it's wings for the first time. She'd never felt this way before, and it scared her to the core. She reached, looking for something else to feel with this inside her.
She had no more time to explore the feeling when a blaring submarine came crashing out of the waves. Millard and Jane scrambled up, Jane clutching the jacket around her. They ran in the cave, screaming and shouting, as they all took off. Jane fell, her ankle twisting.
"MILLARD!" she cried. Not thinking, she transformed, and with her claws, snatched up her clothes, and flew like a silver bullet, avoiding trees and the like while holding a tight grip on her clothes. She dropped her shirt, and didn't think to pick it up. (Lucky for her, Emma did, and unluckily, she burnt it.) Horace finally collapsed, and they came to a rest. Jane changed in the bushes. Shoot. She'd definitely lost her shirt, as the smoke in the air was unmistakable. She tried not to grumble, and put on Millard's jacket.
"Mill, I'm afraid I'll be needing your jacket for awhile." Jane said upon stepping out, wincing slightly as she put pressure on her ankle. It was most likely broken. She had a couple of leaves sticking out of her hair and a feather lopsided in the back of it. She looked winded, but unharmed. Also, a complete and utter mess.
A beautiful mess.
"Uh... sure." he stammered. He felt like an idiot talking like that. Enoch narrowed his eyes and stared daggers at Millard's jacket.
"Well, what's underneath that, then?"
Jane leaned in like a wolf it's innocent prey.
"Would you really like to know?"

Oh my goodness.
OH MY GOD. (S).
