Michael sat on my shoulders as he exclaimed, "We met Spiderman today!"

It seemed that was Michael's favorite part of the whole trip. Meeting Spiderman. It was like his dream. He met his idol, his hero, the kid was all smiles from that moment and on. As we walked through the streets I had one pitstop to go before dropping Michael off.

"Now Michael, I'm going to go get something at work and then we will take you home ok." I said promptly.

Michael nodded before saying, "Daddy and mommy work too much."

I sighed before thinking of a way to not make Michael focus on the very words he had just said. His parents work a lot. No wonder they couldn't come to the Comic-Con. They had to work. If Michael noticed it then, it must've have been obvious for him to notice.

"Mommy and Daddy never have time for me anymore. They go and leave me with a babysitter." Michael said pouting

"Well Michael, today, you met Spiderman! Yeah! What does Spiderman say?" I said trying to get his attention off his family and parents.

"Its your friendly neighborhood Spiderman!" Michael replied squealing.

My ears ringed before knocking on the door. Madame Vasquez said she would be here. I waited a few seconds before heading the door unlock. I lifted Michael off my shoulders and set him down gently as I guided him through the backdoor. I preferred going in at the backdoor, because that way if I knocked loud enough, the knock would echo throughout the corners of the walls and it would be heard in Madame Vasquez office.

"Welcome back. How did it go?" Madame Vasquez smirked as she faced me in her chair.

"We met Spiderman!" Michael announced.

Madame  Vasquez ruffled his hair before saying, "Hello. I'm Veronica and who are you Spiderman?"

Michael giggled before saying, "Michael."

I patted his head, "We met the actual Spiderman. We even took pictures. Terence is working on the pictures. I just came to get the paperwork and files for work."

She nodded, "Yes of course."

She handed me the paperwork as Michael looked around the office. I told him to sit as I carefully put the papers in my messenger bag.

"Someone sent you a message on Wattpad." Madame Vasquez said before making me quickly log in to see what Kay had sent.

I stopped before realising Michael was here. Michael had no business knowing about these adult things. I nodded no before Michael asked curiously, "What's Wattpad?"

I double blinked, "It a community where you read books and make them. Now come on, we better take you home."

"Anyways, did you get the description done?" I said.

Madame Vasquez told me she was drawing a description of Karry which made me almost laugh at her efforts of reuniting us. It was never going to happen. I remember doing that a long time ago but I never showed Karry. I wasn't a fan of showing people my artwork and much less when people said it was good. I didn't know why but I always felt like what I drew was never good enough. It was always something. Call me a perfectionist but I never was a fan of letting people see my work, much less critique it. I could draw, there was no fault in saying that but when it came to people actually seeing it, then that was another story. I described Karry to Madame Vasquez a few times now, even though I wasn't sure what she looked like.

Michael began getting impatient as he struggled to stay in his seat. I shook my head before saying, "Time to go home now Michael."

Michael didn't hesitate to get out of his seat and run to the door. I slightly smiled before saying goodbye to Madame Vasquez. Even though her name was Veronica, I never called her by her name. Even if she insisted. She wanted me to call her Ver or Veronica but I didn't. Instead I just called her by pen pal author name. As we walked down the stairs of the building, I zipped up his jacket and held his hand before getting a weird feeling in my gut.

Ever feel like your being watched or followed? Its like someone was there but isn't. Oddly enough, that's how I felt. Usually I was right about people watching me is staring at me. It was like my 6th sense only this time I was wrong. No one was there. No one forward and no one behind us. Just before we could make it a few more steps, a car parked beside us. I rolled my eyes when I noticed it was just Terence.

"Your Knight I'm shining armor is here!" He announced.

I shook my head in disappointment before Michael countered, "Spiderman is better."

Terence quickly stated, "I'm Spider knight."

Michael replied, "You can never beat the original."

Terence only mumbled, "Nobody likes a know it all."

I started walking before Terence suggested we take the car.

"I prefer to walk. Its healthier." I said as Terence sighed.

"Always so stubborn. Come on kid, up for a car ride?" Terence said

Michael nodded before quickly getting into the car and saying, "Shotgun!"

I mumbled a few before getting the car. It was my car and yet Terence managed to drive it instead of me. I still felt like I was being watched though.

Terence cleared his throat," Seatbelts, so we can be safe."

He gestured to me as I mumbled, "You did not just quote Dora the Explorer. "

Terence smiled as he said, "Dora is cool. Right kid?"

Michael started singing the theme song as Terence chipped in. I only shrunk down in my seat. Please let this be over. Now.

I grabbed Thomas' hand, as I followed closely behind Skye and what looked like a little kid. It was hard leaving the Comic-Con since every nook and cranny of the place was full of bustling people. I was determined to find her. She wasn't getting out of my sight this time. . .Focus was key and I couldn't be anymore in the moment than now. Suddenly I started hearing chuckles and partial laughs and giggling. I looked to Thomas who tried his best to keep his face serious and calm. It wasn't working. What was so funny? I brushed it off before I continued to follow Skye closely but due to Thomas, I had to separate myself a bit from them. Mr. Giggles was giving our position away.

  Thomas laughed and kissed my cheek saying," You are so adorable, Babe. You have that look on your face that Batman does.."

I halted before rubbing my cheek. Why must you bring Batman up now?!?!?

I blushed and smirked saying," Why, thank you, Thomas. I try.. Wait. Hey! Stop distracting me!! We are on a mission. Now please be a little more quiet."

I saw Skye and the child go into a building. We were a block away. Bingo! That has to be some sort of a clue. What do you know, I am a very great detective. . .

Thomas laughed and said in a cautious tone," Baby, do not run into the wall.."

I was confused as to what Thomas meant, until I ran into something hard and groaned in pain. It stung. I crashed my face into a wall. And all because I wasn't paying attention! Curse you Thomas. Curse you and your dreaded sweet talk.

Thomas sighed, before I refused to take my hand away from my face. Thomas tried to move my hands, but I gently elbowed him and Thomas softly said," Kay, let me see.."

I slowly removed my hands, before Thomas frowned and guided me inside where Skye worked or at least I suspected it since it looked like an office building. I got a chance to look around, while I was in pain at the same time. The front desk was empty but a bell chimed. The front was left open. Maybe she had come through this way.

Thomas asked a lady coming towards the us," Excuse me, ma'am, do you think you can help me?"

She noticed me and immediately nodded, before she led me to the back and helped Thomas take care of my nose. It was bleeding and by now my clothes were stained.

Thomas sighed, "I told you Karry not to run into the wall. "

I mumbled a few things before saying, "You distracted me by using the word Batman and you distracted me with her cute face and that voice."

Thomas teased, "Nightwing has that affect on people."

I hit his shoulder as the woman helped me, I noticed he stare at me before looking at something else. She stared back and forth. I thanked her, before she sent me a smile saying," No problem. May I speak to you alone for a second?" I was confused, but nodded and she led me off to the side.

She asked me, very curious," I don't mean to be rude or to stare but your description fits a project I'm working on. Do you mind? "

I shrugged before saying, "Sure."

She pulled out a file and some papers before saying curiously, "Are you her? Batmanwife13?"

I nodded and she squealed, before she said," I am Madame Vasquez, Skye's boss but you can call me Veronica or Ver for short. You just..fit the description perfectly."

She held up a paper with a drawing on it. It was very similar to me and my physique.

"I can't believe your here. You are finally here!" She said before I asked, "Where's Skye?"

She frowned, "You just missed her. She was taking of a " minor detail" if you will. "

I frowned before saying, "How is she Ver?"

Veronica frowned, "She isn't the same. She's more serious, sober. She doesn't smile as much anymore. She has a hole where her heart is. . . that's to say the least."

I bit my lip, had she crashed that bad. Was she all alone without a friend all this time?

Ver added, "Her brother is here and she seems to be lightening up."

I smiled slightly. I wasn't in condition to meet her today but I knew that I would come back here sooner or later.

"Keep me on tabs on everything she does." I said almost desperately as I left my number and contact information.

She nodded, "I will. She needs you. So I'm happy to help."

We conversed for an hour before we parted ways. Now that I had people who would help me to reunite us, now we needed a plan.

I realised how I couldn't meet up with Skye now as Terence was slowly trying to working with her. Maybe the first step is communication. Yeah. That's what we need. Communication. Communication is key and that's what I'll do.
