Waking Up From a Bad Reality

Author's note: Hello, readers. It had been so long since I have done anything related to Kick-Ass. I will note that this story is centered on Katie and it is the comic book version. First and foremost, I will say that this is in the aftermath of the events of Kick-Ass 2 and 3. Plus, the elements of this story will be really intense, so read at your own risk, especially if you know what happened to her in the comics.

This chapter, right here, will mostly cover what happened after what was seen in Kick-Ass 2.

Also, if you want to know if this follows "Dave's Revenge," feel free to message me to know what the deal is. Thanks, and enjoy.

Prologue

It had been quite some time since Katie had even been seen out in the world after the trauma that she had endured at the hands of the Toxic Mega-Cunts. First she saw her father get shot in the head right before her very eyes, the next she was raped by The Motherfucker and his goons. She was put in the hospital right after her mother, Deborah, came home from work and saw the carnage that the supervillains had unleashed in the neighborhood. Several bodies were laid out on the ground, and then right when she walked through the door and saw her husband's body on the ground with his brains coming out, and then saw her own daughter on the ground.

Deborah looked at her house, with tears running down her face and her right hand covered her mouth and shook her head. She went upstairs to see what else had happened, and saw Katie's body lying on the floor of her bedroom.

Oh no, not Katie! This can't be happening!

The tears kept running while she kneeled toward her daughter. She grabbed her daughter and picked her up wrapping her arms around her battered and assaulted body. Suddenly, she felt a pound against her hand, and heard a sound.

What? Katie, you are…?

With Katie lying there, Deborah saw that Katie is barely alive, but also noticed the bruises on her face and other parts of her body.

What happened? Talk to me!

Katie didn't say a word as she was still banged up after the rape. Deborah could not believe what she saw outside her home: dead bodies of neighbors, children, and police officers. She was relieved to see that her daughter was still alive. A little while after that, several police officers patrolled the area, with ambulances also nearby there to pick up the bodies.

Deborah walked out the door and approached some cops. "Excuse me, officer, my name is Deborah Deauxma, and my husband was also murdered, and I think my daughter was raped."

The cop responded, "Whoa, ma'am, did you see who may have done any of those things?"

"No, I just got home from work and then I saw a lot of bodies on the ground in the neighborhood, only to see my husband was murdered and my daughter was sexually assaulted!" Deborah frantically replied. "I want to know who did this!"

"Mrs. Deauxma, we have reason to believe that the people involved were in costume," said the cop. "Do you know anything about this?"

"I had only heard about SOME costumed people, but nothing like this," Deborah said.

An hour after the massacre, it had been reported that 27 people were dead, and more than 80 were injured. Katie was hauled off in an ambulance with her mother beside her. She looked at her daughter with so much concern and emotion that she could not believe what had happened right before she got home. She considered herself lucky, but she had come home to what may have been a horrible loss in her life.

Who could do this? You, your father, the rest of the neighborhood, it is such a horrible thing. I lost your dad and now I am afraid that I will lose you.

No amount of shock, trauma and emotion kept Deborah down, despite how she felt at that very moment. She just lost her husband and she saw that her daughter was raped, and probably may never recover from the trauma of it. It was a tragic day for her.

At Dave's apartment:

Dave sat in his living room gazing right at the TV to see the reports, with his facial expression having changed from a scowl to a frown to a look of confusion and shock. And then…

"In that same massacre, 17-year-old Katie Deauxma was taken to a hospital following what sources believe to be sexual assault," said the reporter on the TV.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

"Deauxma was found to be barely breathing with her heart rate being high when she was taken off in an ambulance, and her father, Henry Deauxma, was among the victims who were killed," said the reporter. "Her mother refused to be interviewed."

I can't believe this shit. Why did this have to happen?

Dave realized that the supervillains went after his longtime crush in order to send a message to him, even though she did not think too highly of him after having revealed that he lied to her about being gay.

The next day:

Dave went to the hospital along with his friends, Todd and Marty, to pay a visit to Katie.

Right when he walked into the hospital room, the guys saw Deborah sitting right by Katie.

"Hello, do you guys know Katie?" Deborah said.

"We go to school with her, but I would not say that we are close," Dave said.

"Wait, don't I know you?" Deborah said as she looked at Dave.

"Perhaps, you might know me, but all I want to know is how she is doing," Dave said.

"She has not woken up since being brought here, and I am really worried about her," Deborah said.

"I am worried about her, too," Dave said.

Deborah got up from her chair, "If you'll excuse me, I need to go make a call to someone. I will be back."

As Deborah left the room, Marty looked at Dave, who was still unable to directly look at Katie.

"What do you think happened, Dave?" Marty asked.

"I think I know what happened," Dave responded. "It was The Motherfucker and his gang of supervillains."

"What?" Todd and Marty said.

"Wait, are you talking about those guys who killed Colonel Stars?" Marty said.

"Yes, I am sure it was them," Dave said. "This is all my fault, guys. They targeted her to get to me. This is all my fucking fault. Can you believe that?"

"Come on, man, you don't know that," Marty replied, as he tried to make this situation easier for Dave. "How could he know your secret identity?"

"Those mobsters tortured me, guys," Dave said. "I could have said anything. Why else would they have done this? Think about it: why else would they have specifically gone for Katie?"

Todd looked directly at Dave, who still looked down in sorrow.

"A lot of people got hurt back there," Todd said. "It could have been a coincidence."

Outside of the hospital room, Deborah was on the phone.

"Hello, Detective Gigante, do you have any leads on who lead the assault in my neighborhood?" Deborah asked. "I want to know who did all of that. My husband was killed, and my daughter was raped. Please tell me you will track them down."

Another note: This is mainly a prologue as to what could have happened as I had made reference to a scene from Kick-Ass 2, the comic book, here. I am not sure if I will do a direct continuation to this chapter, but I do plan to write more about Katie's fate.
