"Hey! Aren't you the Gravity Queen!?" Kat froze in place. It felt like forever since she was last called that. She was almost beginning to wonder if everyone had forgotten about what she used to be called.

She looked around at first, not knowing where the voice was coming from. It sounded like a man, and he didn't sound too far away.

"Excuse me?" She called out, brows raised in what almost looked like alarm.

Kat was once again taking advantage of some alone time and decided to go for a walk while Raven had some things she needed to do. The taller woman took it upon herself to take care of the city while Kat was away and now she made it a habit of flying around the entire city to make sure everything was in working order.

It took some coaxing but Kat eventually was able to convince Raven to go, due to the fact that once again the dark-haired woman didn't want to leave the blond by herself for too long. However Kat knew that some time out of that tiny pipe house would do them both some good. Kat even wondered if Raven might have even needed a bit of time away from her too.

The little Gravity Shifter didn't mind Raven's company at all, in fact she loved it, but she could tell that Raven was growing so tired and so worried with each passing second she spent with Kat. How different the blond was to her was something Raven had to get used to.

They even shared the same bed, due to the size of their home. Kat didn't have plans to kick Raven out. Once again she much preferred Raven around than to no having her around.

The entire night they kept their back pressed against each other's, enjoying the other's warmth. Kat almost wondered if Raven stayed away most of the night, once again watching over the blond.

Wondering this made Kat's stomach twinge with guilt. She was the reason the poor Dark-haired woman was so exhausted all the time.

Kat nearly jumped out of her skin as a man ran up to her, almost literally knocking her right out of her thoughts. "H-Hey!" She yelped in surprised as she stumbled backwards.

It was a middle aged looking man. He was wearing a bright orange beanie that reminded Kat of a bright colored traffic cone. He was also clean shaved and there was just something about him that made Kat a little uncomfortable.

"Do you remember me?" The man was overly excited and had a voice that almost reminded Kat of one of those typical nerdy guys who got overly attached easily.

"I can't say that I-" Kat laughed nervously as he cut her right off mid sentence.

"You saved my life about a year ago!" He made himself almost sound like an overly excited child who was meeting their idol for the first time.

"Oh." Kat blinked a few times and gave a gentle smile. "I'm sorry, but it's been a while." She rubbed the back of her neck guiltily.

"Yeah, yeah." He nodded excitedly, grinning form ear to ear. "You saved me when those Navi were attacking! You took them all out so fast and flew off before I had a chance to properly thank you!" The man leaned forward and grasped both of Kat's in his own.

She gave a nervous laugh as she looked down at her hands. "You're welcome?" She allowed her lips to curl into a half smile, this guy was getting a little too close for comfort.

"Please." He continued. "Allow me to properly thank you sometime. Maybe some dinner? Or even some coffee sometime?" He suddenly paused and took a step back, laughing. "I'm sorry I getting way to far ahead of myself." The man pulled his bright orange beanie off his head and bowed slightly. "My name is Nick." He held his hat at his side as he rubbed the back of his own neck. "Maybe I should have started with that in the first place. With my luck I probably just made this entire thing very awkward." He finished with a nervous laugh of his own.

Kat raised her hands and shook her head. "No, no not at all." She lied. "I can honestly say that I am pretty much meeting everyone all over again. Again I have been gone for quite some time, you could say that I only just got back into town a week ago…" She trailed off as she remembered how exactly she returned and wondered how exactly this guy was able to stand there and talk to her without feeling nervous or frightened. She didn't deserve his thanks, or anyone's thanks for that matter. She destroyed a chunk of the town and this man was still talking to her as if she were still a hero? This didn't make any sense to her!

It was like Nick was able to read her thoughts, if it was even just for a second. "You know, no one blames you for what happened right?" He tilted his head to the side squinting a bit as if he was trying to read her face a bit better. Everyone makes mistakes- Not that it was your mistake that was made of course!" He babbled. "Everyone knows that you were being controlled by something!"

Kat's brow furrowed. "E-Everyone?" Her voice was almost like a tiny squeak as she spoke. "Literally everyone?" Without even realizing it Kat took a hesitant step backwards.

"Oh, man. I am really screwing this up." Nick ran his hands through his hair before sliding his beanie back onto his head, hiding his spiky dark hair beneath it. "I mean look. I know you barely know who I am…" He trailed off and looked around. "Here." He stretched out a hand. "Allow me to get you some coffee? Maybe?" He almost sounded desperate. "Maybe if we got to know each other better maybe you would be able to relax a little more? Yeah?" He nodded, hopefully.

Kat's brow furrowed. "Thank you, but no thank you." She straightened herself out and regained her composure. She knew what this man was trying to do. She couldn't blame him. That's how normal lives work for people. They find a girl who they attached themselves to and then try to ask them out, right? That was where she was certain this conversation was going. She simply was not interested.

Nick looked completely crushed by that answer. "What…? What do you mean no?" He stuttered over his words. "This was not at all how I planned this conversation would go." He admitted. "Ever since the day I saw you, when you save me from those Navi, I dreamt of this moment." He rambled. "Where I would ask you out and you would say yes and then we would go from there." He stopped himself and slowly looked over to where the Gravity Shifter was standing, who was now looking even more nervous than before. "I mean." He spoke quickly as Kat took a few more steps backwards.

"Nick, is that what you said your name was?" Kat spoke with haste as she looked around for her trusty feline friend who was instantly by her side, sensing it's owner's distress. "Look." She began. "It was very nice to meet you but there is somewhere I really need to be." She took a few more steps backwards, trying to put some distance between herself and Nick, she didn't want this mane to be caught up in the force of what she was about to do.

"Wait!" The man nearly yelped as he lunged forward, taking Kat's hand in his own once more, causing the poor blond to look even more distressed than she did before. "If you would just give me a chance!" His voice was desperate and growing in pitch with every passing second. "You of all people should know what it's like to want a second chance, right?" His eyes narrowed to slits, in what looked like an accusing manner.

Kat looked at him a very rare fury in her eyes. "There is a difference between making an honest mistake without ill intent or having no control over something what so ever and someone with the intent on a goal and being caught in the process of trying to reach that goal. Especially when the answer was already given to you. And if I didn't make myself clear the first time I said it, I will say it again." She gave her hand a sharp pull, right out of both of his. "The answer is no." She snapped before kicking off the ground and sending herself plummeting straight into the sky as high as fast as she could, not caring if she had just knocked the man off his feet or not.

She didn't know why but how he approached her and how he spoke, mixed with what almost looked like a hungry look in his eyes made her feel extremely uncomfortable. All she wanted to do at that moment was go home and hide under her blankets, hoping Raven would be there waiting for her. She didn't know why but at that moment she felt so defenseless.

She didn't know for how long she had been flying for but eventually she made a rough landing one top of a building somewhere in the distance.

She stumbled and nearly slipped right off the edge from the landing but regained her footing just at the right time.

Panting, Kat scooped Dusty up into her arms, looking for comfort from her tiny feline ally. "I don't know why but I got such a horrible feeling from that guy." She breathed as she cradled Dusty in her arms.

The cat seemed to know exactly what Kat was feeling and nuzzled it's head against the underside of Kat's chin.

After regaining her composure Kat stood up once more. "I guess we should head home." She muttered quietly. "Raven might already be waiting for us there." Kat looked up towards the sky. "If we are quick we might even beat her there." Her face was still pale from the events not too long ago, even so she took off and made her way towards home.
