Diego and Katherine walked to the kitchen and wrapped their arms tightly around eachother in a comforting embrace. It was at least ten minutes before they finally broke apart and silently walked up to her bedroom. As they were entering the room, something caught his eye. Suddenly, the hall was filled with gunfire.
"Shit!" Kat yelled, flinching. Diego wasted no time attacking the person nearest him, jumping on their back.
"Cha-Cha, shoot him." The man called.
"Get out of the way, dumbass." The other person, apparently a woman, replied.
A few more punches were thrown before their fight moved elsewhere and Kat took her opportunity to attack the "Cha-Cha" character. She was pretty useless against a gun, but she could try. Cha-Cha managed to get one shot off, knocking Kat off her feet. She clutched her shoulder as she let out a string of curses and watched the woman run off.
She focused on healing, but gunshots were a bit tricky of the bullet stayed lodged or the wound was somewhere critical. She got up and healed as she made it to where everyone else was, just as Luther sent Hazel flying through a wall.
"Who the hell are these guys?" Diego huffed.
"You're welcome." Luther snarked.
"I was doing fine."
"Oh, yeah, you really had them."
"Ever hear of a rope-a-dope?" Kat said with a smirk and a chuckle, wiping blood from her lip.
"Get out of here now! Go!"
"Hello? Guys? Is everyone okay? Hello? Guys?" Vanya called catching Kat's attention.
"Shit." Katherine huffed as she heard a yelp, followed by a crash.
"Hey, asshole." Luther said, going after the man that had just hurt his powerless sister.
"Vanya, get out of here!" Luther yelled as he fought.
"Vanya?" Kat asked quietly, running into the room and kneeling beside her sister.
She helped the girl stand up and quickly took her to a different room that was away from the fighting for the moment. "Do me a favor and wait here. I'm gonna find Klaus, and then I'm getting you both put of here. I won't let you get hurt again, ok?"
Vanya looked at her sister and saw something in her eyes that shocked her. Love. Concern. Fear. She nodded and grabbed her sister's hand. "Be careful, Kat."
Katherine gave her sister's hand a tight squeeze and smiled at her for the first time in a long time. "When have I ever been careful, Van?" She asked before taking off in a sprint. She arrived upstairs just in time to see the two intruders cause the chandelier to freefall onto her family.
"Hey dick for brains! No one fucks with my family." She snapped, running towards the woman.
The fight was short lived when the man came up behind Katherine, grabbing her roughly and plunging a syringe full of something into her neck. He looked up to see that Cha-Cha had disappeared and he sighed, dragging the girl along as he escaped from the house of freaks.
He made good time getting to the motel due to the fact that he hijacked a nearby car and threw her in the trunk, then bound her wrists and ankles, as well as gagged and ductaped on her mouth.
He stopped off to get a quick donut and say hi to Agnes, but once he got to the motel, he opened the trunk to find her staring up at him with fury in her eyes. He was confused, considering the dosage of tranquilizer he gave her should have kept her down for at least a few hours. He frowned and picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder and heading to the room.
Hazel made sure to tie her down on a chair nice and tight, keeping her mouth gagged and taped. He then pushed her in the closet, waiting for Cha-Cha to get there so he could tell her the good news. All the while, Kat made no attempt to scream or fight, as she knew it would be no use. He would just overpower her again. God, she really was useless.
Fifteen minutes later (Kat knew because she had been counting) the door to the room flung open, revealing a beat up Cha-Cha. "Where the hell were you?"
"When you didn't come out, I figured we'd just regroup here." Hazel said obviously.
"And you stopped to get a jelly doughnut?"
"Maybe."
"After everything we just went through?"
"Well, I needed some comfort food after that disaster."
"Well, at least tonight's not a total loss."
"What makes you so sure about that?"
Cha-Cha smirked, handing him his mask and leading him outside to the car. She opened it to reveal Klaus in the trunk, screaming like an idiot.
Hazel chuckled. "Oh you're not gonna believe what I have waiting in the room."
Diego entered the kitchen, the weight of his actions heavy on his heart. All he wanted now was to get Katherine, go home, and go to bed. He searched the entire house, but she was nowhere to be found.
"Diego?" Vanya said as he entered the living area.
"What are you still doing here?" He asked.
"I'm just trying to help. And I wanted to talk to Kat."
"No, you could've been killed. Or gotten any of us killed. And now Kat is missing. She is a liability." He said the last sentence to Allison, who was floundering for words.
"Allison?"
"I think what he's trying to say is that this kind of stuff is dangerous. You're just..." Allison attempted.
"Not like you."
"No, that's not what I - Vanya, wait."
"Let her go." Diego instructed. "It's for the best."
Allison looked over at him. "What do you mean Kat is missing?"
"I mean that I've searched the entire house and she's nowhere. Now I gotta find her. And if those psychopaths took her, they're going to pay."
Hazel and Cha-Cha managed to get Klaus in the room and tied down without too much trouble.
"So what exactly am I going to love that you have hidden somewhere in this room?" The woman asked.
Hazel smirked and walked over to the closet. "May I present, my half of the win for tonight?" He said, opening the doors to reveal a mildly disoriented Kat. He pulled her around to face Klaus, and she finally started fighting against her restraints and screaming. Klaus did the same, trying his hardest to reach his sister.
Hazel and Cha-Cha skmply watched as the siblings struggled to be near eachother. The moment Kat saw her brother sitting tied up across from her, she knew that no matter what, these assholes were going to die. And she was going to kill them.
