Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
Kitty wasn't very aggressive. That was Johnny's thing. She held onto her love for answers and peace from when she was still alive.
She had so many questions about what she was, what she could do. No one could answer them for her. She had to find out for herself. She realized that.
So she practiced, and experimented, and wondered and discovered and repeat. She freaked out when she blew her first teleporting kiss, was terrified when Johnny disappeared, and kept trying different methods of getting him back until 11 hours later – almost too late to save him – she'd blown another kiss in frustration and gotten him back. She hadn't really trusted herself after that.
Eventually, Johnny got her out into the world, and it was amazing. She'd loved it, but the fact that she didn't quite blend in upset her slightly.
She asked why.
She figured…it didn't really matter. It was just one of her life's mysteries.
Maybe she'll find the answer eventually.
Danielle didn't know what she was anymore.
Overexertion left her melting, dissolving into a puddle of ectoplasmic goo – at least, in her ghost form. Her human form seemed much more…stable. (At least, for now.)
She didn't know what she was supposed to do. So she turned to Danny.
And she'd trusted Valerie at first even though she'd been captured but it was all just a lie but then she'd been saved and cured and, and it was all perfect now, wasn't it?
No, of course not. She didn't know where she was going. She didn't have all life's answers.
(Well, maybe she did. She wasn't too sure about that. Wasn't too sure if she counted as a real human sometimes.)
She'd asked herself why this had happened.
She'd answered herself, you're a freak, a mistake, that's why.
Her answer had finally changed to because I'm special and this is my destiny.
