Karry's P.O.V.

Thomas laid in bed as I put the covers over him. He gave me a smile which gave me butterflies in my stomach. Thomas didn't have any medicine for fever or for anything! I double checked and made sure there wasn't any other possible place Thomas would of kept his medicine. I touched Thomas' forehead, he was still burning. I brought him a water bottle and he quickly drank from it.

I made myself a resolution, "Thomas, I am going to go to the store and I am going to buy you fever medicine and few more groceries for food and soup. You'll be ok by yourself right?"

Thomas immediately got up, "Karry you don't have to do this, its fine. I'll be fine. I don't need medicine and you really shouldn't waste you effort and time on m-"

I stuck the thermometer in his mouth and smirked, "Sorry I couldn't hear you. No lay down, I'll be back in 15. "

I placed a wet cloth on his forehead and covered his hazel eyes.

Thomas had taken off his glasses of course and closed his eyes. I got up but Thomas grabbed my wrist. He took the thermometer out his mouth and said, "Karry I need to tell you something, I really li-"

I put my finger on his lips, "Shh. You are wasting your energy. Save the thought for when your better ok. I promise I'm not going anywhere."

I stuck the thermometer back in his mouth and kissed his cheek, earning a blush from him. I turned towards the door,  "Karry?"

I sighed and turned around, "Yes?"

Thomas replied still laying with his eyes covered by the wet cloth, "Be careful and never stop being beautiful."

I blushed and walked out of his apartment and quickly headed to the store. I walked since it was a few blocks down the street. Thomas lived really close to the downtown part of New York so there were plenty of stores around. I went into the nearest grocery store and took a grocery basket and began taking the things I needed. I went first to the medicine isle. I took Tylenol and Advil and then moved on. People gave me looks since I was still in pajamas but I didn't care. People did it all the time so I didn't care. I went towards the vegetable isle and began looking for more condiments for the soup. I bought oregano, basil, butternut squash,  and some ham. This was an old recipe my mother used to make every time I got sick. After I got the condiments and a few more things, I paid at the cash register and then returned to Thomas' house. I made It to the door and entered the apartment again where Thomas laid there in bed with his eyes still closed and under the damp cloth. I immediately put the groceries in the kitchen and went to check on Thomas.  I removed the damp cloth and checked on his fever. The thermometer stated his temperature had gone down, but it was still a fever. I put the now wet cloth back on his forehead.

"Thomas I will be in the kitchen if you need me." I whispered since I noticed Thomas was falling asleep.

I tip toed out the door and headed towards the kitchen. I got all my condiments and ingredients out and prepared them. I put the water to high boil. I added salt, oregano, basil, and some Italian herbs into the boiling water. I mixed it and then began cutting the carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes into diced pieces. It simmered in the boiling water while I cut the butternut squash removing the seeds. AS the squash simmered in the water, I added the chunks of ham. I began adding pinches or garlic and pinches of pepper. I then closed the pot and waited 30 minutes for the flavor to boil and sizzle. As I set that aside, I decided to check the soup, the chunks of the different ingredients I used appear. Some red, some beige, some green, some orange making the soup more attracting. It smelled wonderful and filled the small apartment with an intising aroma.  I now added got the wooden cutting board and began cutting the celery. As I added the celery to the pot, I lowered the heat. I then added some noidles into the pot. I took a taste test of the soup and smiled. Mmm, just like Ma cooked it. I really hoped Thomas would like. I really did. Now all I had to do was wait until Thomas got up. 

I took a bowl of soup and sipped it with pleasure. It was so delicious that I ate another bowl. I was still in my pajamas.

I smiled at the picture etched on every corner of my pj's. At the moment I finished my second bowl of soup. The ham gave it a salty taste that complimented the butternut squash and carrots perfectly. I washed my bowl and then felt someone tap my shoulder. I was immediately startled and dropped the wooden spoon.

(Think of it backwards) I gasped and was about to scream but Thomas covered my mouth. My eyes widened to see him.

"Thomas!  Don't scare me like that!" I said startled.

Thomas smirked, "I'm sorry but the smell of butternut squash and soup woke me. I'm hungry. "

I smiled and then nodded, "Sit down Thomas. "

I got a bowl full of soup and put it in front of him. Thomas' face brightened up. I chuckled and handed him the spoon. He immediately dug in, slurping the noodles and soup in a clean manner. He had manners as I gave him a water bottle and sat beside him.

"Mmm, delicous. Karry, your a good cook. " Thomas said between slirpfuls of soup.

He gave me a smiled and I replied, "Thank you. Mom used to make it for me when I was sick."

Thomas smiled as he went to refill his bowl 3 more times, boy was he hungry! I chuckled at how every slurp he would smile even bigger. The glass lens of his glasses would fog up due to the heat but Thomas didn't mind. After Thomas was full, I handed him some Tylenol which he gladly took. Thomas smiled before he looked at me and smiled.

"Karry, would you like to erm, watch a movie? It would take my mind off of my headache." Thomas said as if we wanted me to stay longer with him.

I replied, "Thomas, I would but I should really go. Its getting late."

Thomas stopped me, "Please stay. Karry, please."

Thomas begged, his hazel eyes pleading for my presence. Begging and pleading me to stay. To be honest, I wanted to but. . .Thomas gave me his best puppy eyes which made me smile and melt like candle was under the heat and flicker of a roaring flame. Thomas was the flame and I the candlewax. I sighed, it wouldn't hurt would it?

"Ok, I'll stay. Just a little longer." I said immediately making his face brighten dramatically.

Thomas grabbed my hand and escorted me to the sofa and smiled, "I've got just the movie. Stay here."

I sat down and waited patiently for Thomas to return. When he did, he immediately put it in his DVD Player. It was a bit old fashioned but I didn't mind. Thomas sat beside me and the movie began playing. As soon as the movie started playing I knew what it was, Batman! I squealed and Thomas chuckled at my enthusiasm.

Thomas P.O.V.

I told Karry I would come back with snacks but it was too late. . .I heard soft snores coming from the living room of my small apartment. I went to check on Karry and what I found made me smile. Karry had fallen asleep. I turned the tv off and took her to my guest room. She was light and easy to carry.

I picked her up and laid her in bed. Her head laid on my chest.

I tucked her in and laid her head on the fluffy pillow. I covered her body with the soft blanket covers.

I kissed her forehead and whispered, "Good night Karry."

She was so innoncent when she slept. Her breathing calmed me down as it echoed through the room. I had taken the bag off of her and hung it around the door knob. I took one last look of her and then closed the door and let her be.

I couldn't believe she had come all the way here and all to take care of me. She made me soup and bought me groceries. I had checked the fridge and she had bought me cupcakes, strawberries, mangoes, and a whole bunch of other things. I smiled at the thought of her. . .I think I really like her. I think I do. I don't think she realizes how much I have fallen for her. Everything about her makes me melt. I don't know what it is, but she's perfect in everyway. Her chocolate skin is flawless and her brown eyes are sexy and seductive and attract me to look at them. Don't even get me started on her lips, I've always wanted to taste them, they seem so addicting. I want to kiss her but is it too soon, I wouldn't know.

As I turned all the lights off and set the thermostat, I headed towards my bedroom. I tucked myself in and was left there to think about what is she doing to me. She's changing my mind and making me look at her like she,is supernatural. She just surprises me and I can't explain it. It's just something about her and her body and her personality that makes me wonder, is this real? Do I really like Karry? I don't think I like her, I love her. I'm addicted to her. . .

I sighed and the pillow touched the back of my head. My eyes began getting heavy slowly and I let out a yawn. My eyes began closing and the last thing I remember was her face, her beauty and everything. What is this woman doing to me?

Skylar P.O.V

I headed over to Madame Vasquez's office with joy and some pep in my step. I couldn't wait to tell her. I'm going to the comic con, I couldn't believe it. I ran towards her office and ran through the door. The wooden door booming as it banged against the screen door. The noiseseemed to had startled her since she jumped and through the papers everywhere. It gave her a heart attack from the looks of it. I laughed, I should do that more often.

"Good grief Skylar! You almost have me a heart attack!" Madame Vasquez gasped with a hand in her chest.

I chuckled and helped her pick up the papers that had scattered all over the floor. I picked them up and stacked them again, I gave her a big grin.

Madame Vasquez only blinked at my expression, "Your smiling. What happened to you? From the looks of it, something amazing. "

I smirked and showed her the ticket, "I'm going to the Comic Con!!!"

I squealed as she saw the ticket in my hands. She squealed with me and gave me a tight hug.

"Wow! How? Skylar how did you get it? Where did you get it? Those cost a lot!!! Did someone buy it for you?" Madame Vasquez furrowed her brow at me.

I replied, " Well, it's was all because of this little boy, Michael. It started out that he needed costume help and I kept him with me for a while since he was alone. I didn't want him to be alone, and things can happen when people are alone, especially children."

Madame Vasquez was attentively paying attention as every once in a while she would nod in agreement to what I was saying.

I continued, "So Michael's parent appear at closing time and they hand me a ticket to go to the comic con. This is amazing! I think I'm gonna go.

Madame Vasquez turned serious, "You think? You are going. First thing tomorrow we work on your costume. I'm so excited!!!"

She squealed in my ear as I experience sudden deafness. As I used my other ear to hear, I heard ask " WHO are you going to be?"

I shrugged, "No idea. Nightwing! Superman! Supergirl! Uh. . ."

Madame Vasquez smirked, "Girl, we gonna suit you up for that Comic Con and you are gonna rock it!"

I squealed as she hugged me tight. This is the best day ever!!!

Madame Vasquez P.O.V.

I was so happy for Skye, well Skylar. She went by that ever since she got here. Her profile says Skye and believe she's in there. I wanted to tell her, but I didn't want to ruin her happy moment. I was examining the texts between her and Karry and the last message had me shocked and at a aww for words. She's here!!! She's here in New York!!! She's working for DC!!!! I've gotta tell her!!!

"What is it you wanted to tell me Madame Vasquez?" She said.

I gulped, "Nothing. I was just gonna say that the stories you printed are going to the New York Times and I was so excited for you. Surprise!"

I lied, I couldn't break her heart. I just couldn't. It would hurt her so bad. I would wait for a better moment in time. Time would tell. It wasn't right. It just wasn't, now all I need is to keep my cool. I nerviously smiled as Skylar finally reacted.

"This is the best day ever!!! Omg. I'm so happy!!!! This could boost my career and help me pay rent and help me with everything!!! This is a surprise! Thanks for everything Madame Vasquez. I love you, your like the mother I've never had!!!" Skylar said with a heartfelt tone.

I began sweating, "Yeah honey. I'm happy for ya."

My voice almost cracked and I acted like nothing happened. How long was it before I can't do this anymore and break from this big event. Skylar could be herself again and if I tell her, who knows how she will react. Last time I gave her a surprise she threw it away. I sighed as I forced a smile and swallowed hard. How long can I keep the biggest lie that could impact her life? How? I bit my lip when she said she loved me. Maybe she is getting to her kind loving self again, but I won't tell her. . .at least not yet. I hid the messages away and focused on her acknowledgment and accomplishment.
