When Kit finally arrives in the kitchen Liz says "Hey Alice, we've got a new arrival with a small case of the munchies. What do we have for her to eat?" Alice says "I was already looking for something because it's almost time for dinner. How do you think she'd feel about mac and cheese?" Kit, whose appetite has significantly increased, says that it sounds really good. A somewhat impressed Alice asks just how old the new kid is. Feeling kind of snarky Liz says "Why don't you come over here and ask her?" With a hint of mischief in her eyes Kit says "I'm 8 and my name is not "the new kid". It's Kit."
Alice, having made her way over, looks at the newest arrival to the Children's Home. After studying Kit with her artist's eye she says "You're kind of small for an 8 year old. You have pretty hair though." A smiling Liz says "You've got amazing green eyes too. I bet your parents miss you something awful."
This last sentence makes Kit cry. Through her tears she says "No, you've got it all wrong. I'm the one who misses them! I don't know where my Mother is and my Father's dead!" Still crying Kit runs out of the kitchen as fast as her small bare feet can carry her.
Later, she stands just outside the Children's Home, panting, with her young face streaked with tears. Kit finds herself torn between two choices. Staying at the Home where it's safe or running away even more. Before Kit can make her decision she hears someone behind her. She turns around to find Liz who says "I'm so sorry Kit. I had no idea that you were really alone. I thought that you had merely run away from home." After wiping her tears away Kit replies by telling her that it's all right because she didn't know.
Smiling Liz asks Kit if she still wants mac and cheese. Upon seeing her eager nod Liz's brown eyes twinkle as she says that's good because it's going to be ready really soon. Kit has a smile on her face as she follows Liz back into the Children's Home.
Minutes later Kit is inhaling a bowl of mac and cheese. Shocked Alice says "Liz, I thought you said that she had a small case of the munchies. She's on her second bowl!" Feeling slightly sheepish Liz replies with "She told me that she was a little bit hungry. Maybe she was more hungry than she thought." After finishing the bowl of mac and cheese Kit rubs her eyes and yawns. A smiling Alice leads the little girl out of the kitchen and into a bed.
After Kit falls asleep Alice turns off the light and tiptoes out of the room. Liz smiles and says "So she's asleep again? No surprise there. She's had a long day." Alice replies with "Yeah, she's asleep. Poor girl. She's only 8 years old and yet she's all alone." "Not entirely alone thank God. The Flash brought her here." A shocked Alice says "You saw the Flash and you didn't tell me? What kind of a sister are you?" "I'm the only one you've got Alice." "Yes, you are Liz and thank God for that." Liz laughs as she walks with her sister along one of the many halls in the Central City Children's Home.
Meanwhile, in one of the rooms in the Home, Kit fitfully tosses and turns in a small bed. Suddenly she bolts awake and in a slightly strangled voice shouts No!
Shocked Liz runs to found out the source of the shout. She follows the sound of sobbing and finds Kit. Her green eyes are filled with tears that are forming small rivers down her face. When Liz turns on the light she sees that Kit is holding a necklace with a small fox on it. Instantly noticing the tears in the sad green eyes, she offers her a tissue. Kit takes it and wipes her eyes. Concerned Liz asks the small girl if she's all right. Red hair whips back and forth as Kit shakes her head. She admits that she had a bad dream.
Liz gently asks Kit if she wants to talk about it. Glowing green eyes stare into warm brown ones. A small and sad voice says that it's too painful to talk about. Kit rubs the fox on her necklace and says that Liz wouldn't understand anyway. Smiling Liz says that she can try to.
Anger builds inside Kit as she says "Try to understand? How can you try to understand the pain of a little girl? A little girl that only had her father to look after her. A little girl who thought her life would never change. A little girl who lost the only family she's ever known at 8 years old. A little girl that was crying just a minute ago because she misses her Father. You can't just simply try to understand when you never will! You don't have a clue on how to understand my PAIN!"
After pocketing her necklace, Kit's red hair streams behind her as she runs. When the Children's Home is behind her, she shifts into the form of a fox mid-run. Since she's so intent on running away, Fox-Kit doesn't see a black car moving toward her until it's too late. Since the driver of the car doesn't see Fox-Kit she's run into. As she loses consciousness Fox-Kit's glowing green eyes close.
