    Summary

    Catalina Gray is ten, has a genius IQ, a rather unhealthy coffee addiction, and is somewhat excellent at running away from her problems. Exhibit A: on the run from CPS after months of being under the legal guardianship of her abusive uncle. One day, she breaks into a strange hidden safehouse. It turns out to belong to none other than the Black Widow.

    .......

     

    “You have ten seconds to tell me the truth.” The woman started counting at an alarmingly fast pace. “Ten, nine, eight, seven…”

    “Those aren’t mississippis!” Cat protested.

    For a second, the woman paused. “Excuse me?”

    “In school, you’ve gotta go, ‘One-mississippi-two-mississippi-three—’”

    “I’m going to shoot you.”

    ......

    “We weren’t preparing to find a little girl in the safehouse.”

    “I’m not a little girl.”

    “I hate to break it to you, but you are.”

    “I hate to break it to you, but I don’t usually trust people who try to kill me.”

    “Would you get over that already? That was twenty minutes ago.”

    Summary

    Her mind reeled, and she was confident that it was all a mistake, a simple hallucination. Grasping at every memory she could muster from that final battle in the Fold, Alina tried to piece together exactly what had happened. Mal had been on the floor bleeding out, and she’d been helpless to stop it. She’d watched countless Second Army soldiers perish, along with those fighting with the Soldat Sol. Nikolai had been there too, although she’d only caught brief glimpses of him as he flew in and out of the light she’d cast. And of course, at the centre of it all, had been him.

    Aleksander was always the centre of the chaos.

    Post Ruin and Rising fic, where light doesn't always conquer.
