CHAPTER6:
"You know, I was really hoping you were sane. Guess we don't always get what we want," Sam said. He stood and put on his helmet. "Come on guys."
"Sam," Katherine said, also standing up now. "I'm not crazy. There are just some things that you don't understand right now and I don't know how to explain well enough. Just, hear me out."
"You do realize that you are trying to tell us that the person, our sister, who we've been mourning for weeks, is alive? There is no way. She would have come to us. Ava would not have abandoned us to think she was dead. More importantly, she would not have abandoned Danny!" he yelled at her.
"Man, calm down," Luke said.
"No! I'm not going to calm down! This is the only family I have ever had! I'm trying to accept the fact that Ava is dead while this psycho is trying to tell me she isn't on a feeling! I'm done with this," Sam said while walking toward the doors to the open balcony.
"Sam Alexander, do not walk out that door," Katherine said in a voice seeping with authority.
"And what are you going to do about it?" he asked. Sam began floating about a foot above the floor.
At lightning speed Katherine threw open a drawer and launched a dull knife at Nova. The impact threw him against the wall. The knife snagged his clothes and held him there.
"That," she answered.
"You know," Peter said laughing, "I really like you."
"Yeah? Well I don't," Sam said, pulling out knife and jumping down.
"Now, Sam, do you want to come back here and talk about this calmly?" Katherine asked.
"Actually, Katherine, I think we should go back to base. Fury needs to hear all this," Luke said.
"Alright. We can go in a minute. Just let me get my stuff together. I'm probably not coming back and I'm trying to make a huge deal with China right now."
She pulled out an American Eagle bag and started stuffing files from drawers into it. She opened another drawer, pulled out a pink laptop bag with the laptop in it, and stuffed it into the bag. Lastly, Katherine pulled a pin out of her hair and took a cap off the butterfly shape. It was a flash drive. She moved her mouse to unlock the computer and started punching in the password.
"How did you know the password to Danny's computer?" Peter asked. The other three superheroes started pulling on their masks to leave.
"How don't I?
'Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.'
"That is Daniel's favorite line. It makes him remember there are always two choices. And you must always choose one when you come to a crossroads. You may regret that choice and you don't know how life could've turned out if you took the other one, but you cannot turn back," Katherine explained. "I knew what language because he has always been rather fond of Chinese. Luckily, I am his equal when it comes to skill level from a mental standpoint.
"Just let me change, then we can go." She walked over to a closet and went inside. When she came back out, she was dressed in what the boys thought was her infamous black costume. It was not until she came closer and they got a closer glance that they noticed the differences.
It still had the stilettos and it was still in black spandex, but that is where the similarities stopped.
The outfit was in two pieces now. The bottom half, that was now her pants, were exactly the same as before. They started on her hips and were skintight. The top was completely different. It had a v-neck that did not show too much and the hem was right where her ribcage stopped. The mask still only covered her eyes but now around her eyes were tendrils of black that branched across her cheeks, temples, and forehead.
Katherine had pulled her hair up into a messy bun at the base of her neck. Now you could see that she had two piercings in both her earlobes with little fake diamond studs. She had her cartilage pierced in her left ear with the same type of stud. The last noticeable change was a bellybutton piercing with the same clear crystal look.
The three teenage boys could not take their eyes away from the girl as she walked to her desk and applied dark red lipstick. She looked up from her little mirror and saw the looks she was getting.
"Again with the staring!" she laughed. "And, I don't have to be a mind reader to know exactly what you all thinking." They all looked away embarrassed. "So, how do we get to the helicarrier?" she asked.
"Uh, well, Nova can fly, I can use my Spider Cycle, and Power Man has a jet pack. So, depends, who do you want to go with?" Peter asked.
"Since I'm aggravated at Nova and I'm already petrified at the idea of going up that high already, you and Power Man can decide," Katherine answered.
"You take her, Spidey," Power Man said. "God meant for me to stay on the ground so I'm not exactly comfortable going up in a jet pack by myself, especially not while holding onto someone else so they don't fall."
"Looks like you're coming with me, Kath-" Peter started.
"Just call me Kat," Katherine said with a small smile.
"Alright. Looks like you're coming with me, Kat," he said.
Nova grabbed Power Man under the arms and flew out the window. Spider Man and Katherine walked out onto the balcony. He came up behind her and asked, "Want some help getting down?"
"Sure."
Spider Man wrapped an arm snuggly around her waist and helped her up onto the ledge. Below them, they could barely see Power Man and Nova heading for the ground. Katherine let out a squeal of fright.
"What's wrong?" Spider Man asked.
"I have a terrible fear of heights."
"It's alright," he said, wrapping his arm around her waist again. "Wrap your arms around my neck." The girl quickly obeyed. "Okay, I'm gonna go now. If you keep your eyes open, don't look down. Just look at me. Alright, are you ready?"
"Yeah."
"Here goes nothing." Spider Man shot out a web toward a building and jumped. Katherine let out a startled scream as her stomach dropped into her feet. She tightened her arms around his neck as he released the strand and threw out a new one. Peter smiled under his mask.
Soon, they landed safely on solid ground.
"Oh, thank God," Katherine exclaimed. "I really hate heights."
Spider Man just laughed. "Then you are really gonna hate getting to H.Q."
Everyone was ready to go. Spider Man had gotten Katherine on his bike and gave Nova and Power Man the thumbs up. He climbed on his bike behind the girl and brought his arms around her to grab the handles.
"Ready Kat?"
"As I'll ever be Web Head."
Spider Man took off on his bike. He shot out a web and Katherine squeezed her eyes shut.
Within minutes, they were in the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in the sky.
