Caffeine Is Needed [Open]

[Kat McCarthy]

"I'll keep that in mind. Only go to the police when absolutely necessary" She was planing on using the police as a last resort anyway, so it wasn't that big a deal, but it was good advice. "I'm glad I ran into you," Kat stated to him before taking another sip with only a couple more gulps left.

[Doctor Karl Lykos]

::Karl considered it some of the best advice anyone could give, to stay away from the police. He hadn't always thought that way, but that was what happened when the police destroyed a man's life; it changed his thoughts.:: "Glad to be of help."

[Kat McCarthy]

She looked over at Karl and gave him a small smile before finally downing the rest of her drink. Kat was definitely going to have to remember Karl. Besides her brother he was one of the only nice mutants she had met in her life. As she was finishing her drink though, she ended up experiencing another one of those flashes from before. It felt like there was another knife slicing through her, but this time it was companied by a jolt of electricity that also brought on a sense of burning. She closed her eyes again biting the inside of her mouth trying to control the pain. With her eyes shut it was as if she was there again. She could smell the burning of her flesh and see the man dressed in black smiling at her. Kat knew it wasn't her though, she had learned that from the last time, but the pain and anger that she experienced felt like her own even though it only lasted a few seconds. Coming out of the flash she opened her eyes and coughed up some of her drink, pulling the cup away from her body.

[Doctor Karl Lykos]

::Karl had been prepared to let the conversation end, but then it appeared that she was having some sort of flashback - at best - or seizure at worst. That gave him pause, as if nothing else, he should call an ambulance anonymously, if this was a medical problem. But then she opened her eyes and looked like she might vomit.:: "Do you need a hospital?"

[Kat McCarthy]

Kat looked at Karl, quickly realizing her vision changed meaning her eyes had turned an icy blue. She blinked refocusing her eyes making her normal eye sight return and causing her eyes to turn back to their original color. "No..no I'm fine,"

[Doctor Karl Lykos]

::Karl did not quite believe her, because he knew people. License or not, he was thoroughly a psychiatrist. But her well-being was not his concern, and thus he accepted her word.:: "All right."

[Kat McCarthy]

Since he hadn't reacted to anything, she suspected Karl hadn't seen her eyes change, and she wanted to keep it that way."I should go" It wasn't that she was ashamed of her abilities, it was the fact she was so use to hiding them, from everyone. To the outside world she was human, and she had worked hard to keep it that way.

[Doctor Karl Lykos]

::Since Karl had not initiated the conversation, he had no vested interest in it continuing. Thus he nodded when she sai she would leave.:: "Good luck with your brother."

[Kat McCarthy]

"Thank you" She said getting out of her seat giving him a lite smile. "I greatly appreciate the talk,it helped a lot," Kat went to sip up her jacket as she talked. "See you around the city?"

[Doctor Karl Lykos]

"It's possible." ::The City was quite large - eight million strong - but Karl was there quite often. And he did stick out like a sore thumb.::

[Kat McCarthy]

"Catch yah later then" She said giving one last smile before exiting starting to head in the direction of her brother's apartment. It was the only place she had to stay and also the only place she would find any clues to who had taken him.

[Doctor Karl Lykos]

::Left alone, Karl ordered another coffee. He would be here for a while longer.::
