AN: I came across this store the other day and figured it was long past time to update, anyone still reading? I have no excuse for not updating sooner other than the main characters found a way back to their creators, it took a while to convince them to come back and play. If you are still reading I apologize profusely. Without further delay:
CH 5
Barbara awoke the next morning to a quite voice behind her asking why Uncle Jared's face was blown up over the entire computer screen. When Barbara turned around she was surprised to see Katie standing behind her. She seemed almost normal after being at the loosing end of a fight the day before, most of her cuts had healed and the bruises had faded to an almost sickly yellow. Strange, Barbara mused, Katie's blood showed no abnormalities, how had she recovered so fast. Maybe, she could convince the kid to undergo more testing to see why her blood showed negative for being a Meta.
The Red-head was jarred out of her musing by the voice repeating her question. As Barbara explained about Kingpost, she could see skepticism showing in the teen's face. Why does it always have to be the one you least expect? Barbara had to give Katie some credit though; she stayed to explain that Jared Post was one of her Dad's good friends who were in the Special Forces together. A while ago, he managed to get into some serious money. When people started questioning where it came from, he left town and Katie hasn't heard from him in quite a while.
With that, Katie went home as everyone had some thinking to do. Katie had to think about who she wanted to believe and Barbara had to think about what she and the Birds were going to do about Kingpost.
