Things were difficult, but slowly they were making their way back to normal. Kat even out with Qwerty for some fun. It happened at least once a week. Caleb and Tyler were helping her with the whole power struggle and getting Ryan to be non-transparent. Reid…Reid wasn't around much. Kat didn't blame him. Tyler knew why. Kat had told him and even thought she thought he'd be mad about it, he wasn't. In fact, he said that it was probably best. Things were complicated at the current moment.

Caleb even took the time to get his head out of his books or what Reid normally said, getting his head out of his ass. Reid was in and out of the house and barely looked in Kat's direction. Tyler and her had gone to a few of his swim meets anyway to show support. She wasn't going to be at war with him as long as she lived in that house with him.

"Kat." Caleb said as he knocked on her door.

Kat turned over and pulled the covers over her head. He knocked again and she groaned unhappy.

"Get up." He said.

"You are not my alarm clock." She groaned half asleep.

"Yeah, well, get over it. You have classes today so get up!"

Kat rolled over and onto the floor with a thud. She looked up at her ceiling scowling at it. sitting up she stretched and yawned then crawled her way over to her closet to find clothes.

"She up?" Tyler asked

"More or less." Caleb answered.

"I can't wait to tell her." Tyler said.

"You're not saying anything." Caleb said.

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Shitty answer dude." Tyler smirked.

"It's the only answer you're getting."

Tyler shrugged and looked back down at his notes. Kat came down the stairs, her shoes stomping loudly. She'd put her hair into a messy ponytail. Stopping she looked at both of them then narrowed her eyes.

"What?" they both said simultaneously.

Kat just shook her head no as if nothing were wrong. She could tell they were hiding something though. Playing it off, she sat down beside Tyler. He looked at her and she smiled her usual I'm innocent look at him. He looked at Caleb who glared at him.

"Okay!" he said as if his arm had been twisted. "We might've found a way to end the curse."

Kat raised her eyebrows then smiled.

"Really!" she said excited.

They both nodded.

"And you didn't want to tell me?" Kat said to Caleb. "That is great news."

Caleb nodded in agreement. He couldn't hide the smile now. He was pretty happy about it too.

"I wanted to wait till we had Reid and Qwerty here. I know she's been helping out some too." Caleb said.

Kat nodded. She had too. She wasn't okay with them being all powerful, but even more she wasn't okay with even more powerful guys coming and trying to kill people. She was coming around. It just took time. Kat could accept that.

"Eh, they'll get the message." Kat shrugged too happy to care. "Another question though and we haven't exactly looked into it much, but uh…who are those other guys who don't have limits? You know…they uhh…yeah."

"What's the good news?" Ryan said as he came through the wall that he used to bleed all over.

"You probably already know." Kat said waving him off to hear the answer to her question.

"You're right." He grinned.

"Anyway," Caleb said grabbing their attention back. "We did. They work for this huge law firm called Were & Pire."

"Genius." Kat said sarcastically.

"They're on the west coast." He continued. "It's a good way to show just how much power they have and a good way to hide everything."

"They haven't come after us anymore. Why?" Kat said.

"One thing at a time." Tyler said.

"Well, I'm just wondering."

"They probably didn't expect the dead to come back to life."

Kat thought about it and nodded. They were right.

"This is the last place I'd expect to run into you." Qwerty said as she stopped by a table that Reid had sat at.

"It's quiet." He said not looking up at her.

"It's quiet." She mocked as she sat across from him. "You are pathetic."

He looked up at her glaring. She smiled at him as if she were in the best mood in the world. She knew what was wrong. Still, she just tapped her fingertips on the table.

"Have you looked in a mirror lately? I'm sure your reflection not only breaks the mirror, but isn't shy about telling you how pathetic you are." he leered.

The smile on her face didn't fade. Annoyance was exactly what Reid was starting to feel as he stared at her.

"What do you want!" he exclaimed not hiding it one bit.

"I was just wondering if you're alive in there? You seem to be avoiding your friends." She said unaffected by the yelling.

A few people looked at them from other tables. Qwerty looked right back at them with her own snotty look. One of them even shushed her. Feeling insulted she flipped them off. Reid snorted and started packing his books into his bookbag. The last thing he was looking for was to listen to her of all people.

"So, how pissed off are you?" Qwerty asked. "I mean it's been almost a week."

"What are you talking about?"Reid said as he was being followed by her out of the library.

"You and Kat." Qwerty said.

"Once again, what are you talking about?" he said turning to face her.

Qwerty took a step back. The look on his face was telling her to shut up. That what she was going on about was the last thing she should be going on about. She bit the inside of her cheek and debated about continuing on. Before she got a decision from her head she saw him walking off.

"It hurt her too, you know?" she called after him. "It's not like she did to purposely hurt you."

He paused midstep then continued on down the sidewalk. Not realizing she was holding her breath she let it go. She stomped the ground and cursed. The conversation wasn't supposed to go that way. She wasn't even supposed to say anything. Kat had told her to keep quiet and just let it go. That it was for the best for that to happen. Qwerty being Qwerty though couldn't let it go. She hated seeing her friend like this.

"Kat is going to kill me." Qwerty muttered.

"Hey!" Qwerty called as she walked into the house.

Kat came into the hallway and slung Qwerty to the side. A disgruntled Kat was inches from your face.

"What did you do?" she said with emphasis on each word. "Reid came back and snarled at me about my friends getting in my battles and the funny thing is that I didn't even know I was in a battle."

Qwerty stood there motionless and slightly scared to say anything.

"You know what? Nevermind. I'll be right back. Tyler and Caleb have something to tell you." Kat said and walked past her up the stairs.

Kat had her own mission. Getting to Reid's room she didn't even bother to knock. She walked right in and crossed her arms over her chest. He looked at her slightly amused.

"A battle. That's what you said we're in right? Well you know what? You win. I'm not fighting you. Just do me a favor and get over yourself. There are bigger and more important things going on. Drop the ego." She said harshly.

Reid just looked at her blankly and pulled out his earbuds from his ears. Kat scowled at him and picked up the closest thing nearby and threw it at him. Anger just kept pouring out and she didn't mind. He wanted to be hateful? She could be just as bad.

He ducked it barely and looked at her as if she were crazy. She picked up something else, that something else being a book and threw it at him. He ducked that too and made his way across the room to stop her. As she went to throw a calculator at him he grabbed her wrist and disarmed her. He didn't let go, but the both shared aggressive looks. Neither of them backing down none of which had any intention of even doing so.

A plan came to mind, the thought of her leaving because of what they'd had wasn't fair. Maybe he was being selfish, he didn't care. He never cared about his own selfishness. He even thought that Kat should cave in to her own selfishness. So, without a doubt let alone hesitation Reid quickly snaked his right hand around her neck and with a rough yet subtle pull, he brought her body tightly against his own as well as planting his lips to hers. She still tasted as sweet as she did though he didn't expect any different.

It only lasted a micro second if that, but he still felt satisfied with it. Her hand clasped over her mouth as if it were a sin.

"Let me say it this time." He said as she looked at him shocked. "You think it's over, it's not for me."

Kat's glare turned softer, but not by much. He'd take it. It made him smirk.

"I'm sorry you feel that way." she softly.

She was quiet after that and just stood there as if pondering about that kiss. Her fingers lingered at the edge of her lips then she lowered them.

"I wanted to tell you that…Caleb found a way to lift up that curse thing that you have issues with." She said as if in the distance. She turned and opened the door that she didn't realize had been shut. She figured it must've happened when he'd disarmed her from throwing things.

"You're really going to ignore it aren't you?" he said.

"It's better that way. Less dangerous…for both of us." She said then left and closed the door lightly.

Reid slammed his hand on his desk angrily. He didn't see the small tear that escaped her cheek when she reached the outside of his room. She didn't want him to. She didn't want him to see how close she was to giving into him.
