Full Story:

"You should've killed me when you had the chance at the Courthouse, Manhunter!" Phobia states as she pulls the staff from Kate's stomach. "Such beautiful eyes. Who knows what fun we could’ve had together? But you cross Phobia... and you die!" Phobia states as her eyes are rolled back into her head. Looking down at Phobia's convulsing body as she pulls off her mask, Kate thinks to herself that she doesn't know what's running through Phobia’s head but she hopes it's unpleasant. "Wrapping her head in my mask was a good save, if I do say so myself. Wasn't sure the Psi-Dampeners in there would backfire Phobia's powers." Kate thinks as she continues to look at Phobia. Kate believes that Phobia will be out for a while but kicks her in the face just to be sure... and because it felt good.

"You'd better be home you little perv. I don't have time for your cutesy B.S." Cameron thinks as she walks up to Dylan's home. Cam walks into the house calling for Dylan and thinking that the place smells like six kinds of bachelor ass. "You and your roommate Shaw need to burn some incense, my friend, and…" Cam says then sneaks up behind Dylan while he is singing in his hot tub. Cam pulls out one of the ear phones and asks, "Abba? Really?" scaring Dylan. "Sweet Jesus, Cam! You wanna give me a heart attack or somethin'?!" Dylan asks. "Ugh! Can't you wear some trunks?" Cam asks as she covers her face, in which Dylan replies that it's not like she hasn't seen it before. After a little small talk, Cam asks Dylan about the teleporter. Dylan tells Cam that he has zeroed in on Kate within ten feet and that if she turns the teleporter controller on, she will pop out right in front of her. "You need to be less than fifteen miles away. Um, anything further than that and I... um, can't guarantee where you might pop out." Dylan explains.

Meanwhile, Kate finds Peter and gets him out of the chains. Peter asks in a weakened voice if it was Kate, in which she answered that it was ok now, that no one was going to hurt him anymore. "But... he..." Peter begins to say but Kate tells him to save his strength. "…He's b-behind you..." Peter says before passing out. Just as Kate turns around, Walt punches her in the face, sending her to the floor, saying, "Who the hell are you? I told the stupid cow to come alone!" "Who am I? Say hello to the stupid cow--Dad." Kate says standing up and taking off her mask. "Well, well, well. Your momma had a mouth on her, too. And we know what happened to her, don"t we?" Walt says with a grin on his face. "We sure do, Walt." Kate says as she powers up her staff, then aiming it at Walt and firing it, sending him crashing into the wall.

"So, now what?" "Excuse me, Damon? Should I be offended?" Todd asks. "Ha! No, it's just that it's Friday and it's still early and..." Damon states. Todd states that he wants to go out and Damon tells him yeah, that a friend of his is in a comedy show and does a killer Chloe Sevigny bit. "Who the hell is Chloe Sevigny?" Todd asks getting up out of bed. "I think I'm dating a straight man." Damon states. "Har, har, har. I'm gonna take a shower while you plan our itinerary." Todd says as he goes into the bathroom. Damon asks if he has anything to eat and Todd answers that there is some leftover food in the fridge. "How 'leftover'? Some of the stuff in there has turned into antibiotics and… Oh Todd? Uh, Todd?!?! TODD!!" Damon yells as he stands in the doorway to the living room. Todd asks if Damon is alright and Damon answers, "You, um... have a visitor." As Todd turns the corner, he sees his father, Green Lantern Alan Scott and says "Dad?" while Alan tells him about his sister while in a green energy projection. "Dad?!?" Damon states.

"Heh, heh, heh..." Walt says as he leans against the wall. "You find this amusing, do you?" Kate states. "Nah.. I was just thinkin' about what a mistake it was ta let you go, all those years back..." Walt answers back. Kate says really? while thinking "careful, Kate, he doesn't care about you." "Yeah. I coulda used yer muscle." Walt says grabing some exposed wire. Kate continues thinking "Stupid! Don't let him talk. Don't let him play with your--" "Now all I need is yer bone marrow!" Walt says firing a bolt of electricity towards Kate as she jumps out of the way. "Where d'ya think yer goin', baby girl?! You really wanna let your pops die of blood cancer when ya just found him again?" Walt states as he gets up to follow Kate. Walt walks toward the other room that Kate went into telling her that they have so much catching up to do, when he sees Dr. Moon lying on the floor with the the scalpel in his throat. "Wha... Moon? NO. He was my last chance... DAMN YOU GIRL!! You just killed me, girlie! And if I'm goin'--" Walt says as he pulls the scalpel out of Dr. Moon. "Well, this proves "Nature V. Nurture." Good people raised me-- but I'm deep in this psycho's stagnant gene pool. Is it any wonder I'm such a screwed-up mess?" Kate thinks as Walt charges the scalpel and throws it at Kate saying, "I'm takin' you with me!" Kate blocks the toss with her staff, then her staff explodes. Walt comes up and punchs her in the stomach telling her, "Why'dja put the mask back on, kid? Killin' you would be more fun without it. It's just like killin' yer whore mother all over aga--" Just then Walt starts coughing and hacks up some blood. "Gotta get this off... pieces of hot metal in it..." Kate thinks as she pulls off the mask. Walt tells her that it looks like his time is almost up and asks if she thinks she could take him, which Kate responds with a smile, "I aim to try."

"M-Mommy? izzat you?" "RAMSEY?" Kate says as Ramsey walks into the room rubbing his eyes. "RAMSEY! GET OUT OF HERE!" Kate yells at him. "Grampa took me and Daddy. He was mean to me." Ramsey tells Kate. "Aw, kid, c'mere-- and give grampa a hug!" Walt says grabing Ramsey by his arm then grabing him around his neck as Kate yells "NO!!" "Looks like the whole clan ends here, Katey. Too bad. We coulda been a helluva crime dynasty." Walt tells Kate when a flash of light appears behind him. "DROP THE KID, PRATT" Camron says as she hit Walt in the face with the handle of her gun. "Hang on, Ramsey!" Camron tells him as she wraps her arm around him about to activate the transporter. "Where you goin' pretty lady?" Walt asks as he grabs Cam by her ankle, making her trip and drop Ramsey, her gun and the transporter control. "If anything ever needed to work, Dylan, it's this-- NOW." Kate thinks as she picks up the controller.

"Know what I like best about blondes? How blood looks against their hair." Walt says as he is about to hit Cam. Cam asks Walt where he got that, "The quotable O.J. Simpson?" Just then Kate grabs Cam and pulls her through the transporter window as Walt says, "Get back here, bitch! You gotcherself all sorts of hi-tech stuff, Katey..." jumping through the transporter window. "...But do ya really know how it use it?" Kate responds "Absolutely." as she crushes the controller in her hand. "'Atta girl..." Walt says as the transporter window closes, severing him in half. Kate tells Ramsey not to look and picks him up to bring him outside. "I... I'll call for backup." Cam says. ""Clean-up" is more like it. Cam? Tell them to take their time-- I just want to enjoy this veiw with my son." Kate says to Cam as she sits down in the porch, watching the sun start to rise.

"So, they'll both be ok?" "Yes your husband required a transfusion, but most of his injuries were minor. And your son is suffering from shock and a mild concussion. He should bounce back quickly." A doctor tells Kate. "But he had a concussion before and needed--" Kate says right before she grabs her stomach in pain and falls to the floor. The doctor tells a nurse to bring a wheelchair over to Kate.

The doctor is calling Kate's name as she starts to wake up. "Hi, there. You had us scared for a bit. I'm Dr. Lewis." He tells her. "What happened?" Kate asks. "You were hemorrhaging pretty severely. We tried everything to stop it, but we were forced to do a D and C." Dr. Lewis states. Kate asked what that was and Dr. Lewis states, "You had a miscarriage, Ms. Spencer. I'm sorry." "B-But I didn't even know I was pregnant... a miscarriage?..." Kate says. "Just get some sleep now. Your body has been through a lot." Dr. Lewis tells Kate, then walks out of the room. Ramsey watches the Doctor walk down the hall and sneeks past Camron as she sleeps in a chair next to Kate's room. Ramsey looks at his Mom and says...





"Mommy, don't worry."




"I won't let anyone hurt you or Daddy ever again.




I promise".
