It's been a stressful week with exams, a house move and a heat wave in the uk but i've finally finished chapter.)

Chapter 6- Something new.

Robyn came clean about her mirror 'Monsters' to Hannah, it didn't take that long but in those few minutes Hannah hadn't spoken a word, she had only listened. Robyn was rambling due to the fact that she had bottled it up for so long, only ever revealing it before to her sister Luna but telling Hannah felt different. Of course, it felt different, Hannah was the most important mammal in Robyn's life "And so that's it, I'm probably going nuts." Robyn finished, finally looking at Hannah who sat on the couch with her.

Hannah's face did not display fear of what her wife told her nor any anger from keeping it a secret, instead her face showed puzzlement like she had been stumped by a riddle "You're not going nuts." Hannah spoke with a focused voice.

"Babe, I know you're trying to be nice but let's be realistic. Maybe I should see if Luna can put me in contact with someone." Robyn lamented, hiding her face with her long rabbit like ears.

Hannah heard the sadness in her beloved's tone and took her paw, kissed her on the lips gently and reaffirmed "You're not going crazy, I know it."

"But how can you think that?" Robyn asked, sure that Hannah was just being comforting.

"Look the thing that makes the most sense is this all started after the purple rain incident, after you got hit by that weird cloud. It has to be connected." Hannah answered with certainty.

"...You think?" Robyn asked sounding a little hopeful.

"Powered mammals started showing up after that day, what's to say what you're experiencing isn't a power?" Hannah proposed.

"So, my power is to see creepy things in mirrors?" Robyn asked back, sounding unconvinced.

"I know it sounds farfetched, but our entire lives are farfetched, maybe we should ask Professor Bloom what she thinks." Hannah suggested.

"You honestly think that is all related to powers?" Robyn asked, still sounding unsure.

"It's the one that makes the most sense and even though the professor's field is in physics she seems to have some ideas about the purple cloud." Hannah convinced "Look we're both on guard duty with her the day after tomorrow, we can pick her brain then."

"…It's actually a big relief to hear that I'm not hallucinating things." Robyn submitted to Hannah's mindset.

Hannah then pulled Robyn into an embrace letting her wife's head rest upon her chest "Listen up Princess, you ever get spooked like this again, come to me. I might not be able to fight the monsters but I can provide kisses and snuggles to make you feel better."

"My blind badass knight," Robyn replied with a warm smile, sinking further into the hug that made her feel at ease "thank you for saving me yet again."

"Is there any chance this knight can whisk her princess to the royal bedchambers?" Hannah jest and flirted in the same breath to which she received a knowing smile from the red furred hybrid.

The following day Robyn and Kodi weren't due in the garage until midday, the two were so trusting of Oggie and the two other mechanics in their employ that they knew their business was in good hands. So, what do two mammals who fix vehicles all day do with a morning off? Work on another vehicle of course. The two best friends were in the main atrium of Team Ceartais' bunker where they were tinkering with the highly modified pick up truck known officially as the 'Shooting Star III' but was always called Bella due to the bunker's artificial intelligence who often controlled the truck to assist the team.

"I'm telling you there was a delay with boosters last time I was in a chase, it took way too long for them to kick in." Kodi informed, looking at the laptop screen on the work bench as Bella ran a diagnostic on the truck while Robyn looked under the hood for any physical damage.

"You know every car chase doesn't require a nitrous boost, this baby has enough power to catch most cars." Robyn criticised the wolf's driving habits.

"If you got it, use it." Kodi parried.

"Ah, here's the problem, the nitrous tube has been kinked, no wonder there's a delay." Robyn informed "We've got spares of these, right?"

"Should have some in the tool cabinet." Kodi answered, nodding at the tool cabinet beside the metal stairs to the observation deck, as he watched Robyn fetch the new spare part he asked out of the blue "Hey do you remember back in high school when I kept you being bi a secret?"

"Uh, yeah. Why do you ask?" Robyn asked back, confused by the randomness of the question.

"Well I kept it secret because we're best friends, so if I was to tell you something could you keep it secret?" Kodi asked, avoiding eye contact.

"Of course, dude." Robyn answered, not remembering an occasion when Kodi sounded so uneasy.

"So, I've got this date tonight and well, I feel a little out of my depth." Kodi opened.

"You? Dude you've been on like a million dates, you're Mr. Suave on a date." Robyn responded, sure that there was more to the story.

"Usually I'm confident but this date is different. She asked me out, she's picked the venue which is a mystery to me and she's picking me up from my place." Kodi unloaded.

"So, this is your first date where you haven't been in control? Does control mean that much to you?" Robyn asked, sounding interested. Usually when Kodi ever talked about she wolves it was in a lewd manner but Kodi seemed genuinely nervous and Robyn couldn't help but find that refreshing and a little bit cute.

"Not really, it's just I want this date to go well, I want to make a good impression and I can't do that if I don't know what's coming." Kodi confided.

"Who is this wolf that's got you so worked up?" Robyn asked, wondering which female could make the playboy wolf act like this.

"…I don't want to say, look if my date goes well tonight I'll tell you all about her tomorrow." Kodi avoided.

"Ok," Robyn accepted, not wanting to push the subject "look my advice is simple and cliché but be yourself…and try not to be an asshole."

"That's what I'm worried about, if I slip back into my old habits and crappy pick up lines." Kodi sighed.

"Hang on a second, you're not just crushing on this wolf, you like her!" Robyn accused with a gleeful voice.

"N-no!" Kodi reacted in a childish manner.

"Oh my god, you do!" Robyn squealed before rushing over and hugging her friend "I knew it would happen one day, the player Kodi Jones wants a proper girlfriend."

"Please stop talking." Kodi groaned, feeling embarrassed.

"Look dude, I'm being serious here; you're going to do great tonight and once this she-wolf sees who you really are she'll be smitten too." Robyn assured.

The happy moment between the lifelong friends was brought to an abrupt end when the rodent sized elevator to the atrium opened up and a frazzled and frustrated Olivia came stomping out while swearing "That stupid piece of shit mech, can't handle a wee bit of stress testing before the pissing power core fails like a limp dick!"

"Good morning to you to, Olivia." Robyn sniggered down at the enraged engineer "Another productive morning in the lab?"

"Wait, it's morning?" Olivia reacted, getting out her phone and letting out another angry moan when she that it was just past ten am "And another night of sleep lost to that pile of crap I call a mech!"

"Is the new model not passing the test runs?" Kodi asked, sounding more sympathetic than Robyn.

"Is it hell, it's get through 90% of tests then it starts to lose power. I need this new model working if I'm ever to stand a chance against those robots." Olivia explained, fishing out a candy bar from her grease covered overalls, quickly unwrapping it and began to stress eat "Anyway what were you two hugging about?"

"Well…uh, I have a date." Kodi answered, hoping his team leader might offer some sage advice.

"Date? Christ, don't bother, stick to playing the field." Olivia said bitterly before raving "You keep shagging around lad, don't be a fool like me and get into a relationship like I did, then give four years of your life to someone you think you'll grow old with only to be dumped when you prioritise being a hero than being someone's partner!"

Kodi and Robyn were left stunned by the ravings of the brown mouse, there was a few seconds of silence before Kodi queried "You ok?"

Olivia seemed to come back into focus and realised what she said, she looked away and made an excuse "Ignore me, I'm angry, hungry and sleep deprived. Good luck on your date." She then scurried away towards the showers in the dorm area of the bunker.

"You think she's still feeling the burn of Blake dumping her?" Robyn asked rhetorically.

"Yeah…she seems so strong but I guess she's still hurting even after a year." Kodi sympathised.

"Maybe they just weren't meant to be." Robyn said before nudging the wolf and adding "And maybe you and this mystery wolf are fated to be together.

000

It was just after seven pm and Kodi was stood outside his Savannah central apartment, he was dressed in his best jeans and a nice shirt, figuring that the most likely venue for this date would be a nice restaurant or maybe a trip to the museum or art gallery due to Clara's intelligence. Kodi was tapping his foot in a nervous manner, he had never felt so uneasy before a date before, he still was doubting that Clara was actually interested in him despite her arranging the date. He was pulled from thoughts by the beep of a car horn, he looked to see Clara pulling up, Kodi hurried over and entered the car to see Clara dressed in a stylish and figure hugging black dress. "Wow…you look wow." Kodi spoke and immediately regretted, figuring he must sound like an idiot.

"Thanks, you scrub up well yourself." Clara chuckled before pulling out and driving down the street.

Kodi relaxed a little when he saw Clara's dress, it looked expensive and the type of dress that someone would wear to nice restaurant "So are we going to get something to eat?" Kodi probed.

"Later, I've got something else planned first." Clara replied with a sly smile.

Ten minutes later Clara parked her car in a small parking lot next to a run-down warehouse with a Thai food truck parked outside "We're here." Clara grinned, turning off the engine.

A flummoxed Kodi looked at the sign on the warehouse that read 'Urban Paintball ltd.' Then asked "Paintball? We're going to play paintball?"

"Yeah, this place is so fun, you'll love it." Clara chirped.

"B-but your dress, I thought we were going somewhere fancy." Kodi garbled.

"This dress has two functions the first is to throw you off and secondly it makes me feel awesome." Clara smiled, enjoying both the confusion and enraptured look in Kodi's eyes.

Kodi had to admit it was a great power move, he now knew there was no point in predicting what was going to happen next on this date, he submitted to Clara's will and smiled back "Lead the way."

Just over an hour and a half later Kodi and Clara were sat at a small plastic table next to the food truck gorging into some fresh and spicy food. The two wolves were still garbed in the black overalls they wore over their clothes in the paintball arena the only difference was Clara only had a few paint blotches on her while Kodi was covered in green paint dots "Still sore?" Clara asked, before taking a bite of her chicken massaman curry.

"I bet I'm bruised all under my fur." Kodi gave a pained laugh while chewing his seafood pad Thai.

"That's what you get for showing mercy to those kids." Clara pointed out.

"What was I supposed to do, shoot the kid? It was his birthday." Kodi parried, the wolf had cornered a tapir with a birthday pin on his overalls, when he had hesitated the tapir shot Kodi and so did the rest of his friends that had come for his birthday party.

"You're too kind for your own good." Clara stated with a smile "So as a first date, was it a good choice as an activity?"

"Yeah it was fun but knowing you, you probably chose paintballing to access me or something." Kodi answered confidently.

Clara feigned shock "Oh no, you've figured me out. But maybe I should've took Hannah's word from the beginning, you are a sweet guy."

"Well she has known me since we were three years old." Kodi replied, feeling happy that Clara thought he was sweet.

Clara took a quick sip of her soda then changed subject "So did Hannah mention how we knew each other?"

"You were the faculty advisor for the LGBTQ society when Stripes was at college, right?" Kodi remembered.

"And do you know why I was the liaison?" Clara asked further, sounding a little more serious than her usual playful tone.

"Because you're pansexual and transgender." Kodi answered, still feasting on his food.

"…Right." Clara sounded, looking perplexed.

Kodi read his date's expression and sounded "What?"

"Sorry it's just whenever I go on a date with a straight guy they always ask a ton of awkward questions, you're the first guy that's never asked about it." Clara explained.

"I'm not going to lie; I'm interested in finding out about your transition. But I'm ok with whatever you're comfortable telling me." Kodi said, not wanting to pressure Clara on the very personal subject.

"Wow…damn, that's actually really nice of you." Clara said, touched by Kodi's positive attitude "Well I guess I can tell you some stuff; I came out as trans in junior high, my parents and siblings were really supportive and helped me start my transition. Not going to lie I was bullied for a while, but my family were always there for me when I needed a hug or needed to vent."

"That sounds tough, I can't even imagine what you went though." Kodi said, he had never been a victim of bullying but always felt sympathy for those who suffered through it "But screw those bullies, I mean look at you; you're a successful and beautiful she-wolf."

"You think I'm beautiful?" Clara called out with mischief in her voice.

"…Yeah." Kodi confirmed, sounding shy. He then tried to steer the conversation to a different subject "So I've got to know, why'd you ask me out?"

Clara leaned back in her plastic chair and answered "Two reasons; one you're handsome as hell and two; I'm trying to figure you out."

"Figure me out? Like I'm a puzzle?" Kodi asked again, tilting his head slightly.

"A handsome puzzle." Clara grinned "Ok so when I first met you, you were dressed as The Mage, you acted just like I expected you to do, it's common knowledge that The Mage is the player of the team. But that doesn't match who I'm talking to right now."

"Ok yes, I have slept around a bit, but I'm not going to apologise for that." Kodi responded.

"And you shouldn't, everyone is entitled to an active sex life as long as it's consensual. But that 'Player' personality doesn't match with you Kodi. The Kodi who is a doting big brother, raised in a loving home, surrounded by good friends and who ships other mammals doesn't sound like a guy who only has time for sex and none for romance. So yeah, you don't make sense." Clara laid out her theory.

"…I guess." Kodi mumbled, his eyes growing sad.

"Oh Kodi, I'm sorry. That was mean of me, we were having a lovely time and I ruined it." Clara replied hastily, feeling awful.

"No…you're right. The player isn't me." Kodi eased "I guess seeing as you shared a few details about your transition, it's only fair that I say something personal."

"You don't have to." Clara said, wishing she could turn the clock back thirty seconds and fix her words.

"It might actually put things in perspective." Kodi gave a sad smile "So spoiler alert; I'm adopted obviously, I was put in the system not long after I was born and I was adopted by parents when I was two. My Mom and Dad are great mammals who are very open and liberal so they never tried to hide anything from me, anyway when I was thirteen I wanted to find out about my biological parents so they helped me out, they contacted social services who contacted my birth parents and they agreed to meet up. Turns out they only lived a mile away from my home, I couldn't believe it, I was so curious I begged my Dad to drive by their house just to see what they looked like. My dad eventually caved but I wish I never asked him…"

"What happened?" Clara asked, sounding intrigued yet worried.

"We drove by their house and I spotted my biological parents getting into a SUV on their driveway, but they had three other wolf cubs, all younger than me." Kodi told "I got freaked out and asked my Dad to take me home. I started to wonder why I was put up for adoption when they were going to have more kids, so I asked my Dad if he knew why. I could see the fear in his face, that he knew he was going to break my heart as soon as he told me why."

"Kodi." Clara uttered, subconsciously taking hold of the wolf's paw.

Kodi hadn't noticed his hand being held as he revealed "My parents were high school sweethearts, in their senior year my birth mom got pregnant with me. Apparently, they wanted to keep me but as it got closer and closer to the due date, they realised that their rich parents would cut them off if they had a cub out of wedlock…I was put up for adoption because my biological parents preferred money."

"Oh god." Clara breathed, gripping his paw a little tighter.

"I called off the meeting with them and made a choice, there and then. That I wouldn't get into a relationship with anyone because I was terrified if I fell in love and got a girl pregnant that I would abandon the cub, because I've got those damn genes. I know it's irrational, I know I could've made someone pregnant anyway but I was just didn't want to become my birth parents." Kodi confessed.

"You'll never be like them, you know why? Because you're better than them." Clara encouraged, it's at this point she realised she was holding Kodi's paw "Huh? When did that happen?"

"S-sorry." Kodi reacted but didn't let go "I guess such a heavy confession isn't good first date etiquette."

"Well next time let's just stick to you telling me how beautiful I am." Clara glossed over, putting her date at ease.

"Next time, you mean I'm getting a second date?" Kodi asked, pretty sure his voice sounded like a squeaky voiced teen.

"That depends on you, do you want to be a player or do you want to be yourself?" Clara asked, liking the feel of her and Kodi's paw entwined.

Kodi looked at Clara, realising all the nerves and fears were gone, he felt comfortable with her, she was funny, she was beautiful, she was perfect. It was time to let go of his past fears and try something new "I want to be me." He answered.

Clara then leaned forward across the table and used her paw to guide Kodi by the chin into a kiss, the first of many for this new couple.

If Luna or Alice ever went out on patrol she wouldn't go to the Bunker first to prep like their other teammates, instead they both kept a uniform and a good stash of their weapons at their penthouse and would start their patrols from there. Tonight, it was Luna and Olivia on scheduled patrol but seeing as Olivia was still trying to get her latest mech model to fly Luna had offered to patrol solo. Just before 11pm Luna got changed into her Andraste uniform, checked her quiver and bow and attached her comm link in her ear before kissing Alice for good luck, going onto the balcony and using a grapple arrow to swoop out into the city.

Andraste was only five minutes into her patrol when her comm link came to life with Bella's voice "Andraste, I have Agent Rojek on the line."

It was way too late for Aleks be making a friendly call, Andraste knew it must be for official business. She found a perch on a gargoyle belonging to a church's bell tower before replying "Patch him through please, Bella."

"Andraste, you there?" Aleks asked, sounding tense.

"I'm here, Aleks. What's up?" Andraste cut to the chase.

"We have a powered mammal situation in Savannah Central, I'm at a crime scene now in an apartment not far from Sherwood." Aleks hastily explained.

"What's the situation?" Andraste asked, noticing she was in the same area.

"A young couple live in this apartment, they had an argument about something work related and well when she got mad the entire room shook before she fled, the place is trashed and her boyfriend has a massive cut on his head from shattered glass but he'll be fine." Aleks answered.

"So, you want me to tranq and detain this mammal?" Andraste asked, spotting something strange on top of a building in the distance.

"No, her boyfriend doesn't want to press charges he just wants her to come home, but we can't risk her getting upset and hurting someone, we need to find her and talk to her and get her help." Aleks corrected.

"Fair enough," Andraste concurred, getting out a small set of binoculars from one of the pouches on her belt so she could get a better look at the strange thing in the distance "so what can you tell me about this mammal?"

"Retsuko Kaolip, 25-year-old red panda accountant, moved over from Japan with her boyfriend six months ago to work at this city's branch of Katou accounting." Aleks informed.

Andraste focused her binoculars to the building in the distance and gasped slightly when she saw a female red panda standing on the edge with tears streaming down her face "Aleks by any chance was she wearing a blue waistcoat and skirt with a white shirt?"

"Yes, how on earth did you know that?" Aleks asked back.

"Because I'm staring right at her; she on top of the Katou building and looking like she wants to jump." Andraste answered, swiftly tucking her binoculars away and grappling towards the accountancy firm.

"What!? I'll get the ZPD over there!" Aleks reacted.

"No, she's more likely to get scared if she's the cops. Let me try and talk to her." Andraste suggested, keeping out of sight as she made her way to the suicidal red panda.

Over at the building the cold night air wasn't making Retsuko shudder, it was her fear. This wasn't the tallest building in Zootopia but no one would be able to survive a fall from this height, it was a 150ft drop. "I'm sorry Haida, I never meant to hurt you." Retsuko cried in her native Japanese tongue.

"You know I've been married to a Japanese mammal for four years and I still can't speak the language." A voice said out of nowhere.

Retsuko turned to her right to see a relaxed Andraste sat six feet away with her feet hanging over the edge "What!? When did you get here!?" Retsuko shrieked, not noticing that the vixen was keeping a close eye on where her feet were placed.

"Just now. You're Retsuko, right?" Andraste asked, her voice calm.

"And you're one of those heroes, Andraste?" Retsuko replied with a sniff "Are you here to bring me to the police?"

"I'm here to stop you doing something stupid." Andraste answered, wondering if she could tackle the accountant safely back onto the roof and away from the edge.

"I…I need to do this, this needs to happen, I've got to pay for what I did." Retsuko wept.

"And jumping to your death will pay your debt?" Andraste asked, deliberately engaging Retsuko in a discussion so she wouldn't focus on jumping.

"It's justice, I've taken a life now I've got to die." Retsuko sniffled.

"Took a life?" Andraste questioned.

"My boyfriend, my Haida…I killed him!" Retsuko bawled.

"Retsuko, your boyfriend is alive." Andraste revealed.

"What?" Retsuko reacted, her voice scratchy from so much crying.

"I just spoke to an MCB friend of mine he said your boyfriend is fine." Andraste reassured.

"But there was so much blood!" Retsuko cried, thinking this could be some sort of trick.

"He's got a cut to his head, that's all. He's ok, Retsuko…all he wants is for you to come home." Andraste clarified.

Retsuko was quiet for a moment before looking at her paws and uttering "I can't go back, what if I hurt him again? I can't control this power, I can't control my anger but I can control this. If I do this, mammals will be safe."

Andraste's nerves went into overdrive but she didn't show it, she thought for sure that hearing her boyfriend was alive and well would make her step away from the edge. The archer knew she had to keep Retsuko talking, so she could hopefully find a way to convince her to stop or if all else failed grab her but that was risky "What is your power?" Andraste asked.

"When I get angry, everything around me shakes, it's like I'm an earthquake…usually I have ways to deal with it but…" Retsuko fumbled between tears.

"How do you control you anger?" Andraste asked, ruling out trying to tranq the red panda in case she stumbled over the edge.

"I sing karaoke, I like death metal, it helps me get my rage out." Retsuko confessed her embarrassing secret, figuring if she was going to die it didn't matter if mammals knew.

"Well that's a lot better strategy than me, I was an angry kid who put on a costume and beat up bad guys." Andraste confided, hoping it would connect with Retsuko.

"You have anger issues?" Retsuko asked back, her eyes still streaking tears.

"Yeah, I mean normal mammals don't become super heroes without having problems in their real life. I thought by being Andraste I could channel that anger but it made it worst and that rage and my stupid pride got someone I care about killed but I didn't stop there, I went and found the mammal responsible for my friend's death and crippled him…only then did I realise what I had become." Andraste recalled, shuddering slightly as the memory of Little John's lifeless body flickered through her mind.

"I'm…I'm sorry that happened to you." Retsuko empathised.

"Take it from someone who's been there, trying to kill yourself won't solve your problem." Andraste spoke, sounding vulnerable.

"You?" Retsuko gasped, shocked that someone so heroic could go to that extreme.

"It wasn't long after I crippled that guy, I thought getting away from Zootopia would help calm my mind. I went to the country, stayed with my grandparents, I told them I had exam stress and I needed to cool off in the country. But all I could think about was what I did…I don't remember going into the orchard, but I remember taking the rope from the barn. I tried to hang myself, I put the noose around my neck and kicked the stool from underneath me…but the branch broke, I was coughing and crying when my Aunt found me. Hell did she punch me hard, I thought she'd broken my jaw." Andraste admitted, remembering the sadness and anger in her aunt Heather's eyes on that night "She took me back to the house, cleaned me up and stood watch over me for the whole night…I told my aunt everything; that I was Andraste, about the bad things I had done and after I finished she just hugged me and told me everything was going to be ok."

"And everything turned out ok? I mean you're still here." Retsuko asked, crying less about her own problems and more about the story Andraste told her.

"I am still here. But I take care of myself, I take my meds, go to therapy and talk to my wife about my problems…oh and this helps to." Andraste answered, reaching into a pouch and pulling out a joint and placing it between her lips.

"Is that marijuana?" Retsuko asked with surprise.

"Yup," Andraste chimed, lighting it up and taking a drag before exhaling "it's my one little vice."

"Sorry, it's just a little shocking." Retsuko responded.

"It's my choice to smoke this, it's my choice to go therapy and it's my choice to take my meds. You've got a choice to Retsuko and you know which option is right." Andraste proposed, hoping she had swayed the red panda.

Retsuko didn't speak, she stepped back from the edge walked over to Andraste and sat down next to her. Tears were still soaking her furry cheeks when she asked "So what happens now?"

Andraste took another drag before answering "I'm going to take you to the emergency room, you'll need to be on suicide watch for at least 24 hours but I know a doctor there who can get you a good room, Haida can stay with you to. Then the doctors will arrange therapy and prescribe you some meds, it's going to be tough but it will be worth it, trust me." Andraste then hugged Retsuko, who wept into her shoulder, thankful to the once troubled angel who had saved her.

Nick Wilde prided himself on being a romantic, he had been with Judy for over two decades and never once had faltered in sweeping his sly bunny off her feet. But after a while you have to get original with ideas so you don't end up recycling old romantic gestures but Nick was pretty sure this one hadn't been done before. Nick was stood in the parking lot of city hall looking smug "I can't wait to see her face." He grinned.

"Oh yeah her face will be like 'My husband is such a massive dork'." Alana Clearwater sniggered, the deputy mayor had just come back from a meeting when she found Nick in the parking lot.

"Oh, come on that's romantic." Nick huffed, pointing to Judy's spot where he had put the sign 'Reserved for the most beautiful bunny in Zootopia'

"It's corny, I'm just waiting to see Judy laugh her ass off." Alana smiled.

"Carrots will love it, she loves stuff like this." Nick assured Alana and himself, at that moment a police cruiser pulled into the parking lot, Nick could spot Judy driving as well as her eyes widening when she saw the sign.

Ten seconds later Judy had parked up and exited the cruiser why'll laughing heartedly "What the heck is that!?"

"It's…something dumb." Nick replied, feeling bashful and the fact that Alana was laughing along with Judy wasn't helping.

"Oh, Nick, come here." Judy cooed, grabbing Nick by the tie and pulling him down into a kiss.

"C-Chief Wilde!" A nervous voice alerted that Judy recognised instantly.

Judy ended the kiss and looked to the source of the voice; it was Arthur Knight walking towards her flanked by four other mammals, all with their paws raised "Knight?" She gawped, noticing the other mammals were some of the missing 17.

"We've come to hand ourselves over to you, you're the only one we can trust." Arthur declared, hoping that this was the right decision.

(AN/ So what did you think? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! Next time on The Broken Mirror; Arthur's pack arrives at the ZPD, the mysterious bots resurface and Robyn is forced to make into a tough decision. Please review and c ya soon...)
