Karry's P.O.V. (144 hours later, approximately 6 days later)
Ever since I heard the big news from DC, I was beyond excited and that even meant it was shown on Thomas. I would be extra happy and wake Thomas up from his sleep when all he wanted to do was cuddle and go back to sleep. I could get used to those mornings, and I would even though I would normally end up giving in, but not today. Today was moving day. I would travel back home. Thomas insisted on coming to so I guess he would get to meet my family and see where I come from. Thomas was very excited for DC Comic Con coming up so we had already started on making our costumes. I was very excited, I've always wanted to be a superhero and now I can be. In the guest room we all our supplies and mannequins that were wearing our half way finished suits. As I finished eating breakfast and got ready, I saw Thomas still sleeping in bed.
I lightly brushed the hair from his face before whispering, "Thomas? Baby. Wake up."
Thomas didn't seem to even listen as he just mumbled stuff in his sleep and turned over. I giggled as I saw Thomas' hand searching for me, it was like he was hugging air instead of me. I giggled at the sight. I decided to do it the hard way since Thomas wasn't getting up whatsoever. I put all my weight on him and sat him. I just waited. 5. . 4. .3. .2. . 1
Thomas' voice muffled, "Karry, get off of me."
I stayed seated on top of him before I began sliding towards the empty part of the bed. I felt Thomas' arm push me to side before he got on top of me saying, "Let me return the favor."
I felt put all his weight on me before I said, "Thomas, your such a child, get off of me."
Thomas laughed as he turned around and laid on top of me, our noses touching. I blushed madly as I said, "No morning kisses."
Thomas gave me a pouty face before giving me peppermint kisses all over my face before stealing a kiss from me. Thomas smirked triumphantly, "What was that about no morning kisses?"
I lightly punched his shoulder as I sat up, Thomas laid his head in my lap before saying, "Today is moving day. I didn't forget Karry. "
I looked at him, placing a kiss on his nose, "We better get going."
Thomas nodded before he looked for his glasses. They weren't in their usual spot. Thomas looked at me before holding out his hand, "Karry, where are my glasses? "
I scoffed putting them on saying, "What glasses?"
Thomas tackled me down and took them from me before saying, "You look cute in my glasses but they are not for sale."
Thomas kissed my cheek before he went to get ready. I chuckled and served him breakfast.
Today, I was packing up my things from my house and working on getting them sent to New York. Well, the big stuff I couldn't put in mine or Thomas' car. I walked in the house and into my old bedroom, while Thomas followed. Memories started to cloud my thoughts and I smiled at a majority of them. I took a deep breathe and didn't realize how long it's been since I've been in here.
Thomas must've noticed, but stayed quiet and chuckled at the pictures around my walls. There were Batman pictures and painting and my old drawings. It was like my life flashed beside me in seconds. My artwork was there. I chuckled at the picture of me holding Batman hand as it made me smile. Thomas couldn't contain his chuckles and giggles. I punched his shoulder and rolled my eyes saying," Stop it, Tommy. You probably have Shakira or Beyoncé on your wall.."
When Thomas didn't reply, I knew I had won this one. I giggled softly and picked up a picture frame on my desk, before Thomas wrapped his arms around me and said," Baby, you gonna be okay?"
It was a picture of me and my family. A five year old me with two teeth missing from my smile. My front two teeth were just gaps and my brothers and sisters all stood there as my parents hugged us all. I loved that picture. I was so little and now I'm all grown up.
Thomas pinched my cheeks while cooing, "Aw, is this you without your teeth? Your so cute."
I giggled and said, "This is me when I was 5. I'm now older and do not have any missing teeth to report."
Thomas pinched my cheeks, "But your cheeks are still chubby."
I slapped his hand away and began remembering all the memories I had of my family. All the things we did. I started to tear up.
Thomas asked again, "Karry, baby, are you gonna be ok?"
I nodded and kissed his cheek saying," Yeah, give me a minute. I'll be there in a second. So many memories and not so much time."
Thomas nodded and pecked my lips, before he walked out and talked to my dad who couldn't but cry at seeing me again. He hadn't seen me in a while, neither had my mom. Tears clouded my vision as I felt hands on my shoulders.
I put my hands over hers and Mom said," Hey, I told you this wouldn't be easy, but you've got this far and that's all that matters. Hon, you've got Thomas to protect you now and he loves you more than anything. Both your father and I can see it. He's a good man and he wouldn't hurt. He loves you that much. As do we. Now chin up. Your a big girl now and now you make your own decisions. This is the start of a new day Karry. A new chapter for you. We will be here supporting you. New York is now your new home and Thomas will there for you and so will we."
I nodded and kissed her cheek, before they helped me get all my stuff out to the cars and the bigger furniture into the moving van. Before I left, since we were driving separate cars, Thomas got out of his and walked over to me. He pulled me in for a hug, which I gladly returned. It felt so safe and so secure. I loved that about Thomas. When he hugs you, it's a safe haven. I felt like no matter what happens around us, or in with him, I'm ok. He keeps me safe and sound. His arms are my sanctuary. The only place I wanna be when I wake up. There's no place I rather be than in Thomas' arms.
I looked at the house and felt tears go down my cheeks. I was a little homesick to be honest. I saw mom and dad and it was home again, but now I'm a big girl and I have Thomas. He's my home now. Mom and Dad will always be my first home and I'll always go back to them when I need them. Thomas is my new home and new adventure. A new chapter on the book of your lifetime. The first word on a fresh page of paper. A new frontier.
This new adventure wasn't one where I would be alone. I've got Thomas and my family. One person was missing and I knew that sooner or later I would meet up with her again. I didn't want to think about it now because that was a matter I would solve in New York. . .
Thomas had told me that he would help me find her. I couldn't help but wonder what she look like. I remember her showing me what she looked like. She was younger. She had a baby face and chubby cheeks. She always wore her glasses and had her hair down. The day I first saw her, she had braces. Then as time went by she grew up. The last picture I remember of her was her without her braces and glasses and wearing makeup. That picture I would never forget. Her warm smile and cheerful eyes. She made you smile. Its been quite a while since I have seen her face, but I'm sure that if I see her face, I would remember and recognise her. I would. I knew she was tall. She had told me she was 5' 6", perhaps even a little taller. . .
I missed her dearly but as I remembered more and more of our conversations and messages, I remembered how much of kids we actually were. I guess it might be different now since we are older but that wouldn't change us, would it?
We had separate cars, Thomas drove the moving van while I drove my car. As we drove back, the thought of starting a new home with Thomas was quite exciting. Us Together. I had never been so excited to share a home with someone, but Thomas made it different. His home, our home, would be our place where we wouldn't worry about the outside world. We wouldn't worry about how silly we would look when play around with each other. We acted like children and we equally both, loved that about each other.
Together we started the rode back home. After the car ride, Thomas and I began the process of unloading the vehicles and then the boxes. We both decided it be best to unload the boxes in the morning and not now since we were both exhausted. Once we made it to Thomas' place, he opened the door for me and I smiled and kissed his cheek.
He smiled back and said," You're welcome. Hey, I'm gonna go order dinner, okay? You can pick out a movie or something that we can do together. I'm exhausted."
Before Thomas made it upstairs, he stopped midway and said," Baby?"
I hmmed in response and Thomas chuckled saying," Please not the Dark Knight again. It's an awesome movie, but we've watched that every time."
I pouted at first and sighed in defeat, before I chose Captain America: The Winter Soldier. That has some great eye candy I can watch that would keep my eyes to the screen. I put on the Bluetooth player and just waited for it load.
Thomas came down in a few minutes and sat down beside me on the couch, while he seemed to be still ordering the food. He wrapped an arm around me, before I smiled and rested my head on his chest. I was very tired but I was happy I was with Thomas and not anyone else.
Thomas gave me a quick kiss, before the movie started and I stared at Chris Evans for a while. He was just some amazing eye candy. I loved it. I only smiled at staring at him before Thomas snapped me out of my trance and questioned me saying," What don't I have, that he has?"
I giggled and smirked saying," He's the whole package, Tommy. You'll get there one day."
Thomas pushed me over the couch, before I pushed him back and got distracted from the movie. I pinned Thomas down and ran away from him to get to the door first.
I failed and Thomas held me back by my waist, while he gave the delivery man his money and we got our food.
I playfully rolled my eyes at him and Thomas kissed my forehead, before he waited for me to come inside. The smell of pizza instantly made me tummy growl. Thomas laughed as he said, "Someone's hungry."
I nodded and went to get the plates as we both enjoyed our cheesy stuffed crust pizza and watched the movie together. Before I knew it, the movie was over and my eye candy was gone causing me to get sleepier and sleepier. I sighed and before I knew it, my sleepy conscience had taken over. . .

Terence had insisted on coming to work with me today, so I let him come. He begged like a child wanting a toy. Terence seemed more intrigued than I thought. Anyways, Mom always thought he had a life of luxury and profound expression. I just worked here and there to support myself. I really want to accomplish my dream. At least the old me would of thought so. At this point, I didn't believe that was possible. The belief of accomplishing my dreams was gone. I had made it through college and yet I still didn't accomplish my dreams.
I wondered if being a kid was actually a luxury now a days. Children don't have to worry about working. They don't worry about supporting themselves of living up to what their parents say. Children don't care. I sighed as the more I thought about it, the more it made me realize how different I was when I was younger.
I always thought nothing was impossible but then again. . .I could be wrong. I'm imperfect and subjected to imperfection and error. Terence didn't want to be a doctor and I didn't either but somehow Mom was ok with him doing what he wanted, but for me, it was different. Much left to desire. Mom, didn't support me the way Terence got their support. For that I don't blame him. It wasn't his fault.
As I walked down the streets of New York and made it Madame Vasquez' office, Terence looked up as he said, "Wow. This is where you work?"
I nodded, "Yes, one of my many jobs. You'll get to meet my boss. Be on your best behavior."
Terence rolled his eyes at me As he replied, "Yes mom."
I rolled my eyes and we entered the premises. There she was. My office and my boss. Madame Vasquez sat there in the chair writing notes down. She spun around once she heard our footsteps.
"Hey boss. " I said as she directed her attention to Terence.
"Is this who I think it is?" Madame Vasquez said with hope.
She quickly began digging in my cabinets looking for something, unorganizing everything in the way it seems. That is until she pulled out a photo of us. Me and Terence. Just the two of us when we were little. Terence looked at it as she held it up.
"Is that little boy you? Are you Terence?" Madame Vasquez asked now cheery.
Terence nodded saying, "In the flesh. It's nice to meet you."
Madame Vasquez smiled as she said, "This is good. This is good. Now you can make progress. You can reconnect with your friend and be yourself again!"
My smile faded as Terence looked at me, "You know you have to. You've got to."
I rolled my eyes as I started getting to work. Terence then took the notebook from my grasp. I pouted before trying to get it back.
"Terence, give it back!! I'm working!" I said.
Terence pushed me back in my seat, "No. Skye you can't avoid it anymore. This. You can't just ignore what's going on with you and your life. With you and Kay. You just shot her down and left her when she promised you She wouldn't and you did the same. Skye, you have to. You know what, she is actually he-"
Madame Vasquez cut him off, "She actually here."
She pointed my heart. I sighed saying, "Yeah she's there but that doesn't mean that I'm not protecting her from something that could hurt her."
Terence looked at me," You already have. You need to fix it Skye."
I rolled my eyes and just went to the bathroom. As I stood there behind the door I looked at myself in the mirror. Are they right? Am I hurting her with not talking to her? Or am I hurting her anyways?
I put water on my face as I heard voices. Madame Vasquez and Terence. I quietly payed attention.
"Why didn't you tell her?" Terence said.
Madame Vasquez replied, " Because. You think she's ready for that. Knowing she's so close and yet so far from her."
Terence sighed as he whisper shouted, "You don't know if that could impact her to actually find her knowing she is here in New York."
I squeaked. She's is here in New York. Karry is here in New York and both them one about it and I didn't!?!?!? KARRY IS HERE AND IVE BEEN SITTING HERE DOING WHAT!?!?!
I opened the door as my voice cracked, "What?"
Madame Vasquez looked at me, " Skye, sweetie. We didn't mean to-"
I looked at her, "You didn't mean to what? Keep this from me. Karry is here. . .And you, you knew. Terence how could you?"
Terence gulped saying, "Skye, please. We did it to protect you."
I angrily said, " She's here and you lied to me! Why?"
I was distraught. I wanted to cry. She is here. I couldn't believe it. Its Been so long that I wanted to talk to her and meet her and she's here. She's here. That was all I could manage to say. Now I know the truth. . .
Terence replied, "Look sis, we both didn't know how you would take it so we kept it from you but now I thinks it's time you do something about it. You have to talk to her Skye. You have to. Don't put yourself in that depression slump again. Not here, not now, when she is so close. It's time Skye."
He was right but I really wasn't sure if I was ready. I mean after all this time, she is right here. Right under my nose. Now I have to something about it. The question is: what and how am I gonna do it? Or am I gonna walk away last time?
