The day was quickly drawing to a close and Katherine still had no luck in finding a job. "This really blows, why is it so hard to get a job here on Midgard?" She sighed as she was walking around the mall. She heard the intercom turn on and a woman's voice came on saying the mall would be closing in five minutes. "Great, the mall is closing and still no luck" she grumbled as she walked by this odd-looking store that had the sign "FORTUNE TELLING" on it. There was an old woman standing outside handing out cards that Katherine assumed had her number on it to call her for a personal telling. "Hello dear, would you like a reading?" The old woman asked as Katherine passed her.

Katherine had paused her inner rantings and finally realized that the woman was talking to her. "No ma'am, I'm in a bit of a hurry" she said wanting to hurry and get out of this aggravating place. "It won't take but a moment my dear" the woman continued to pester. Katherine sighed in frustration "Ma'am, I'm really sorry, but I am not interested in getting a reading right now." She tried to be polite and not blow up in the old woman's face because her parents always taught her to be respectful of her elders. She figured the best bet to escape from the situation was to walk away from her. Though when Katherine tried to walk away, the woman took a hold of her arm and gently pulled her back.

By now, Katherine was extremely aggravated and she secretly tried using her vampire strength to break free from the woman's grasp. The woman, however, was unusually strong because she couldn't break from her grip. Katherine looked up at the woman in shock and slight fear. "Worry not, daughter of the night, your secret is safe with me, I simply wish to give you a reading" she smiled innocently. "You are a persistent old woman you know that?" Katherine huffed. The woman chuckled "Yes, I have been told that a few times" she said grabbing a hold of Katherine's hand and flipping it over to read her palm. "What's so important about reading my palm?" Katherine asked as she watched the woman. "Because, it is something you need to hear."

Katherine frowned "And that is?". She waited for the woman to look up at her. "Ah, yes, your future is going to be very adventurous and full of twists and turns." Katherine stared at the woman with a look that said 'You stopped me for this?' "Is that all?" she asked. "No that is not all, you will also come face to face with your destiny" the old woman smiled. "What's that supposed to mean?" Katherine asked. "It means exactly how I say it means, you will meet your destiny soon" Katherine blinked "How soon?" The woman simply smiled and said "Soon" Katherine's brow twitched in annoyance. "Why can't you just-" She was interrupted by a voice "Hey! What are you still doing here? The mall is closed" Katherine looked to see that it was one of the security guards approaching her. "Yeah, I know, I will be out soon, I was just talking to this-" She stopped in mid-sentence when she turned to find the old woman and her store gone. "Talking to who? There is no one there, you need to leave now" As the security guard was escorting her out of the mall, Katherine's mind was going a mile a minute.

After being escorted out of the mall, Katherine found herself heading to the nearest park. She couldn't help thinking about what that old woman said. "What could she have possibly meant by 'You will meet your destiny soon'?" Katherine frowned and sighed. "I'm not gonna worry about it, it was probably nothing anyway. I'm not going to let it get to me." She said as she yawned. "I have no place to sleep so I guess i'm going to have to sleep in one of these trees." She looked around and saw that the park was completely empty and silent. She closed her eye's and transformed into a bat before finding a suitable branch to latch onto and falling asleep for the night.

When morning came around, Katherine was still soundly asleep and content on her perch. She was so comfortable and relaxed that she didn't hear a group of children running up to the tree she was at. "Eww! What is that?" A girl frowned. "It's a bat! Cool!" Another child said fascinated. "It's gross, get it out of here!" The girl said. After that the children began to hit the branch that Katherine was on. Wakened by the vibrations, Katherine opened her eye's to see the rude children disturbing her sleep. 'What little animals' she thought. She was considering on ignoring them when she noticed her grip on the branch was slipping. She flapped her wings to get balance since she couldn't transform in front of the kids, but she couldn't find it and fell off the branch.

As she was falling, she was trying to fly away from the evil children. Before she was cleared from them, one of the children hit her with a shoe and knocking her down and causing her to land wrong on her wing. She let out a small sound of pain as the children surrounded her. "Is it dead?" One of them asked. "No it's still moving! Gross" The female said. 'I hate these damn kids' Katherine thought angrily. "Hey! What are you kids doing over there?" Katherine looked up to see an adult male approaching them. "Aw man! A grown up! everyone run!" The evil children who were tormenting Katherine ran off quickly. The male sighed as he reached her. "I don't understand why children have to hurt harmless creatures." Katherine looked up at the man who had prevented anything worse from happening to her. He reached down and gently picked her up. "Your poor thing, what did those children do to you?"

He gently moved her injured wing and when Katherine whimpered, he stopped. "Ah, so you injured your wing huh?" he cradled Katherine in his arms as he began to walk off. "Don't worry, I have a place for you to stay until you feel better, it's a bit quieter there as well" he chuckled. Katherine looked up at this kind man 'This is the first human I have encountered that has treated me with genuine kindness' she thought to herself. He had a name tag on his suit that read 'Agent Phil Coulson' which had Katherine thinking to herself 'For an agent, he seems pretty cheerful' but she didn't seem to mind him one bit. 'For a human, he isn't all that bad' she thought as she closed her eyes once again for a rest.
