Hi Guys,

Seemed that there are some hard critics reading this story. Yes, I changed the story to make Kate seem less impressive, I apologize if you don't think I've managed that. If you really continue to think Kate's a Mary-Sue I apologize greatly, but I do want to comment on some of the point you have brought on, normally I would discuss this in a PM but I can't apparently.

1 young and beautiful; I can't change the age and beautiful is a opinion, doesn't mean everyone has to see her as beautiful. Loved by all; No one is loved by all seeing as two reviewers don't like her. Admirable, every person has something to be admired by.

2: Multiple degrees, she has only two degrees one in History from Oxford, prestigious maybe but there are many people studying at that university. the other degree in behavior she achieved by studying at home recovering from Africa, by Open university, not a prestigious one. Multiple languages, yes. I have yet to meet a tour guide that isn't fluent in at least three languages.

3 Former spy, that was a mistake that I apparently overlooked when I was changing the chapter.

4 case breaking insight, her history degree, just like with Blake gives her a context on things the others haven't, that's what makes the team great, they had a different specialties. Saves multiple victims, that's not true, the entire team and SWAT was there as well, it isn't all down to her.

5: Drives badass car. In the UK Range Rover is a pretty popular car, if something works, you stick by it.

6: Awarded Highest medal by the Queen. there are a lot more medals higher than George Cross, I intend to bring on what exactly happened throughout the ordeal in Africa, but long story short, she was the tour guide, responsible for the twelve people traveling under her. Any person having that responsibility will do everything in their power to protect those and keep them safe. Kate is a person that would sacrifice her life if she could save others by doing that, is that a mary-sue fault, so be it. I only see it as a admirable personality trait. I would like to think that other people would be willing to sacrifice their life to save others.

7; modest. I agree but you would hate her even more if Kate were to be all high and mighty, pointing things out and throwing it in their faces.

8: Solves 2nd case. I don't see where she single handily solved this one. It was a team achievement, and look at every episode of Criminal minds, there is always staying someone behind to remain back with the victim, Kate didn't nothing more than what JJ, Blake, Emily, Alicia or Kate or any of the men would have done. I don't see where she saves his life single handily, by giving CPR, any cop riding with an ambulance would do this.

9: Damaged, every person has baggage, the entire team on Criminal minds has something that makes them who they are. Morgan has his baggage in Carl Bufford, JJ with the Afghani torturers. Emily had Doyle, Reid has his mother to deal with and the Riley Jenkins case, Rossi had his baggage to carry with the three children, Hotch has had Foyet and not Mr Scratch. Everyone has baggage, it makes them who they are, if that is damaged, call it that.

Overarchiever I think everyone in their job want to do their job well, if that is overachieving so be it.

Prevents a terrorist attack, tell me where she was alone in all of that. it was a collaboration between so many agencies, she wasn't part of figuring out who they had contact with, she didn't highhandedly hunt them down, the only thing Kate did was interview the leader with ROSSI. She didn't join the team in Baltimore and even then she didn't get information out of them it was the team in Baltimore that figured it out.

I appreciate your reviews and feedback you're giving me, I hope I have given a bit more explanation, if this seems rude towards you guys, I'm sorry, just wanted to point some things out here. And no to be rude again and if I am I apologize beforehand; If I don't like a story and believe me I have read hundreds over the years. If I don't like it, I don't read it and over the years I've become very critical myself in what I like to read, again if this sounds rude, I apologize but that's how it is.

as I said I appreciate your comments and I'll keep them in mind for the next chapters.

Love Kimberly
