Damn, it's been a while, hasn't it? I've really been busy. I have school and work, so I have very little time. (Plus I sometimes babysit the little monster, also known as Cuti, sitting on my lap right now. Yeah, the skinny little baby kicking the keyboard.) Anyway, I don't really mind if you didn't sympathize with Dean. I was testing myself, trying to see if I could make you feel bad. : ( Oh, well.

Misty wiped her tears and put on some loose jeans and a t-shirt. She almost smiled when she saw herself in the mirror. She still looked like a guy sometimes, the tomboyish look had never really left her. She took a deeap breath and walked out of her room.

Ash picked up Andrea and put her in the car. She wasn't fully awake, but she managed to sit up in the seat. Misty ran down the steps and handed Ash his cap.

" I thought you might want to take it. I figured you'd forgotten it." she said quietly. He took his cap and smiled.
" Thanks."
They both got in the car, Misty in the driver's seat. The drive was quiet. Ash could tell Misty still had something on her mind. Why had she reacted like that when he had metioned Kurt? Could Misty have a sort of connection to him? His head snapped up to look at her. The thought left his head almost immediately. Not Misty. Finally they arrived at the hospital. But something wasn't right... And then he spotted him. Kurt. Ash took in a deep breath.

" Misty, there he is. He's waiting for us." Kurt was standing at the end of the parking lot, the furthest end from the hospital, waiting for them to come out.
" Give me you cap, Ash." Ash looked at her questioningly. " Now." she added fiercely.
" What are you going to do?" he asked as he saw her tie her hair into a bun and put the cap over it. She took his jacket and put it on, which was too big. Ash stomach turned as he realized what her plan was.

" Take Andrea inside, but make sure he doesn't see you. I'll run across the parking lot and distract him."

" He'll strike you down in a second!" Ash hissed at her.

" Fine, get behind one of those cars and I'll try to drive away. If I can't, I'll just run."

" Misty..." Ash began irritably. But her determination surpassed his.

" I have my own account to settle with Kurt. Now go!" he didn't move, and her eyes narrowed. " It's for Andrea, Ash. Please, just go. I'll be fine." Ash's eyes softened.

He got out of the car and opened the backseat door. He picked Andrea up and hid behind a van. Instead of driving straight towards Kurt, Misty avoided him and went to the side instead. In a second, Kurt saw the oversized jacket and cap and assumed it was Ash. He raised his hand and the car stopped. Misty stumbled out of the car and ran as Kurt began chasing her. He had almost caught up, when she stopped running. She turned around to face him, and was met with an energy beam that sent her right into a tree. Kurt approached her, and something in his eye flickered. He was only 3 feet away from Misty when he realized what had happened.

"Misty." His eyes widened in realization. It was Misty. He had sensed it in Misty.
