Katrina's POV

Okay, so I can admit that most of my plan hung on winging it.

And currently I was not doing that great of a job.

Step one: escape.

Had gone perfectly.

Step two: get Trina and Sasha out of box and break out Raymond with others.

Had also gone splendid.

Step three: get to Cirron and surprise him by popping out of box ... that he already knew I was inside of, but whatever.

It had taken a few Kill Bill punches, but I had finally shoved the lid off said box and slowly dropped out of it, screaming 'surprise bitch' as I landed face first on the Blue's office floor.

Despite Ira's sigh of distress, I think it went pretty well. So step three was accomplished.

What then fucked up all my plans was not Cirron's ugly ass flour face, but the bitch standing next to the bitch.

Corey.

All thoughts flew out of my head as I watched him stand next to Cirron, his head bent down in guilt, his eyes looking every inch remorseful.

Fucking betrayed.

Corey had betrayed us.

All of us.

It started flashing then.

How he had constantly shown up after my accident, once I'd been released from the hospital.

How he wouldn't stop apologizing, and even though I felt over his whole lying about his sexuality thing, something was still tugging in me to be angry at him for no reason.

Well, I guess now I know there is a reason.

All along he had never been apologizing for lying.

He'd been apologizing because he was the fucking reason I fell off that damned roof.

The reason I had been in the hospital.

The reason I'd been used as the fucking energizer bunny for Lee's plan.

The reason everyone knew I was a Source.

It clicked like keys as I stood in front of him, mouth gaping open in pure shock.

He wasn't suppose to be here, he was suppose to be with Pony, recruiting the liter patrol into coming and helping us remove Cirron's spine from the rest of his body.

But no.

He was standing there, head bent, eyes guilty, next to the psycho of the century.

If Cirron knew how to fucking twerk, his ass would be bouncing right now, he looked so fucking proud of himself.

I was currently trying my best not to make myself projectile vomit in Corey's lying ass face.

Oh god, if I survived this, Blue would forever have 'I fucking told your ass so' on repeat.

He'd make it my damned ring tone after this shit show.

I was digging for something elegant to say, as I stood in front of my shitty ex-friend, and the psychopathic killer who pretty much ruined people's lives for shits and giggles.

But as hard as I was looking, the only thing I could think to say was, "you lying piece of donkey shit" I huffed out, looking as Corey actually had the nerve to flinch like I had hit him.

Oh not yet, but we will get there.

Cirron smirked, "as eloquent as ever, Miss Katrina" he smoothly replied.

I turned my eyes onto him, trying to push away the feeling of rising panic.

I probably should have just waited for Blue.

Most definitely should have waited for Blue.

I squinted, looking Cirron over, "is that you, Cir-Cir? I almost didn't recognize you when you aren't running away like a little bitch. Oops" I smirked as pure fury washed over his face.

If only he knew I was about five seconds away from trying to get the fuck out of this building.

I was in way over my head.

And everything I thought I knew, was complete and utter bullshit.

"You wretched bitch" Cirron spit at me.

I smirked down at me, before turning back to Corey. My best option was stall. Stall and get as much fucking information I could possibly squeeze out of these two testicles.

"So quiet, Corey. Go on, let me here about this amazing betrayal you've orchestrated. How long you been screwing me over?" I asked, my lips squeezing tightly together.

I should have known.

He shook his head, still having the nerve to look wounded.

"It wasn't like that Kat-"

"Don't fucking call me that. Don't even say my fucking name" I hissed, cutting him off, as my small grip on control waned, looking at his face.

Cirron smiled, thriving off the pain that was clear as day on my face.

"Oh, don't be so modest, Corey. You've accomplished a lot. Tell her" Cirron smirked, his teeth bared over at me, as he stood behind Blue's desk, the picture of elegance in a long white robe.

The bitch should be dressed in black, with his demonic ass personality.

"Sir" Corey started, looking nervous, his eyes shooting back and forth between Cirron and me.

"No tell her. Tell her about how you've been using her since high school" Cirron smirked as I paled, my head swiveling towards Corey as he looked down, refusing to make eye contact with me.

"Impossible. I didn't even know-" I started, clear shock leaking into my words.

Corey peeked up at me, "I-I wanted to surprise you. I had gotten a blood sample from you in order to get you one of those ancestry tests. So you could see where you were from, as a gift" Corey started, looking at me with a desperate plea for forgiveness.

I'm going to be sick.

"I went to test it myself .... And your blood Katrina, it was like nothing I had ever seen. It was so completely different from Supers and humans, I-I had to do tests. You see, it was like a blank slate. I was able to manipulate so much, just from your blood. Create power, take power, it was dominate to every other blood type that there is" Corey continued quickly, getting more and more excited as he talked.

I was going to be sick.

"I- Your blood was able to create that serum, to take powers away, give people powers. I started asking questions in the Super world, I was able to figure out what you are ... but don't you see! It was because of you that Lee gained those abilities. That even Cirron can do what he can!" Corey rambled, sending all the blood rushing out of my body.

"W-what?"

Corey winced, while Cirron glared sideways at him, "a secret, I wanted kept to myself, but the boy is right. When he first discovered what your blood could do, word got to me that a Regular was sniffing around looking for answers, asking about Sources. When I met him all those years ago, and saw what he had, we were able to ... should I say ... acquire some interesting abilities for me" Cirron smirked.

The room was spinning at this point.

"I don't understand" I breathed out slowly.

He couldn't have.

He wouldn't have.

Corey looked back at me, "I was able to give Cirron more powers than what he originally had, all with your blood. I could only give him a few, since I didn't have a large enough sample, but with what I did have, I was able to ... transfer some Super's powers to him" Corey finished slowly.

I was definitely tasting puke in my mouth.

"You mean to tell me that since we were in high school you've been helping this prick jump start his plan for world fucking domination?" I hissed, desperately trying to push back the burning feeling in my eyes.

Since we were in fucking high school.

Corey winced, "it was just tests. But after the first power was transferred, we hit a block, I wasn't able to give him anymore, not without a huge power source to press the powers into him. Almost as if his body was at full capacity, and I had run out of anymore serum sample ... except for that vial that Lee had. The last one" Corey winced.

And Cirron smiled brightly, "and then my patience ran out. And he told me about where he believed he found the basis for that blood sample" Cirron chuckled lightly, "A Source. Even though I knew I had wiped out every last one of you, he seemed to believe he had found one" Cirron shrugged. "So I started my eons long plan. He refused to tell me who you were, no matter how much I poked, so I allowed him to take full control of the plan" he smirked.

I could only watch.

Corey's face flashed with guilt, "I manipulated Lia. I gave her some half baked plan to destroy you. All she had to do with sleep with Lee and manipulate him into taking half the serum, turning him into the Shadow. He was then supposed to use the other half of the serum to make those creatures that would find and kill other Supers. The test would be you being the power house for the machine. No earthly amount of power could jump start that machine, only a Source would have survived it. Would be able to make the plan work. Once you did that ... the power that was taken from you by the machine would be enough to ... harnest another transferation of power from a Super to Cirron" Corey muttered out. "I collected some more of your blood from the roof top, where the fight took place ... and I had more than enough from where you hit the city street" he finished.

The room was fucking spinning.

Circles, and circles.

"I- You were willing to kill me on that roof, for a ... a fucking science experiment?" I hissed.

Pure betrayal was splitting my veins in half.

Round after round of pain.

Not Corey.

Not this.

Not this fucking far.

He winced, "I knew you would survive ... the time machine at the convention was a smaller but suitable test. I always had Aria's files, I was supposed to be the one at the convention, that was my machine. If you couldn't power that ... then I knew it wasn't you" he finished.

"And Lee trying to kill me and Blue?" I asked, my eyes glossing over as everything went out of focus.

Corey paused, "Lee went off the rails. You were never supposed to find out Lee and Lia had slept together. You were never supposed to be kidnapped by Doom. Lia slept with Lee to control him into finishing the plan. They both always thought that the end game was ridding the world of Supers. When you left and then were kidnapped ... and then showed that you cared about Doom, Lee lost his mind. His only plan was to kill Doom so he could get you back, then Lia got jealous and she was always crazy anyways. Things got out of hand, you were never supposed to be hurt ... you were never supposed to fall off that building" he shouted over to me.

"No, you were just testing me. Stealing my power to you could let the flour bag here complete his plans? And what about you Corey? What were you trying to do? What did you want?" I asked him.

He paused, "I just wanted you to see me" he stated.

"Bull shit. You were my best friend. Hell, we even fucking dated! You told me, you were into guys!" I yelled over at him.

He scoffed, "you were over me, Kat. I could see it in your eyes, sooner or later you were going to drop me. Then what?! We both know after you had broken up with me you never would have been able to be my friend, not when I would have dropped to my knees and begged you to stay with me! You only ever had eyes for Them" he spat, furiously.

I was blinking in pure and utter astonishment.

"What the in hell are you talking about?!" I screamed back.

"THEM! Supers! You were in love with Daniel Strap. And I know he was in love with you! All you two ever did was mess with each other, you think I was blind?! Even when we dated you were constantly searching him out, drawn to him! You always have been!" he snapped.

And it is official.

I have entered an alternate universe where everyone had lost their mother-loving minds.

I must have passed out in the box from oxygen deprevation and right now this is all a huge ass allusion.

I could only blink at Corey's red face as he breathed heavily from yelling over at me.

"You've gone crazy" I muttered, looking at him completely blown away.

He shook his head harshly, "no. I haven't. And I was at that party, the first time you saw Blake Dun, millionaire play-boy. You were drooling! I saw you! You've always been attracted to them Katrina. So ... I found a way to make myself into one, with your blood I could have become just as powerful as either one of them" he snapped.

I blinked again.

"And so at what point did you decide to take a detour into murdering and world domination with fucking Winter Wonder Land over here?" I hiss back.

Corey deflated, "everything got twisted. Cirron came to me and I-I had no choice, Kat. I only ever wanted you to just ... see me" he sighed, while Cirron tilted his head, looking completely bored out of his mind.

I shook my head, "I was never in love with Daniel" I stated.

Corey rolled his eyes, "you're in denial about that-"

"And I'm sorry you saw my ovaries throw a fiesta at the sight of a 'millionaire play-boy' with a face carved and carried down by angels for women to swoon over" I snapped back. "But you have to see how absolutely fucking insane you sound, right? I had no clue that either one of those sociopaths were Supers at those times, that would have had nothing to do with how I looked at them Corey" I snapped.

He huffed, "but I knew. I knew that's why you took such an interest in both of them".

My left eye twitched, "I did not love Daniel. I tried to drown Daniel. We had a very platonic semi-homicidal frenemy relationship, that was never and will never get sexual. And as for Blue ... I can't take responsibility that the asshole looks like sex on legs, okay? And it was years after I first saw him that we even came in contact, you should like a whole crazy bitch right now Corey. You really fucking do" I hiss, "and if I wanted to break up with you then that's because I fucking knew we weren't good for each other, that you weren't what was going to make me fucking happy" I screamed over at him.

Corey shook his head, "I can make you happy!"

"I DON'T WANT ANY ONE TO MAKE ME ANY FUCKING THING, LET ALONE HAPPY! I WANT YOU TO WANT ME TO BE HAPPY, DAMNIT. THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU MEN?!" I screeched at the top of my lungs over at Corey who just shook his head, like he knew what I truly needed.

What was fucking best for me.

"As cute as this little domestic dispute has been, we have more important matters to discuss" Cirron smirked, taking back hold of the situation.

I turned my furious eyes onto him, "such as what?"

His hands flickered, opening up huge holes in Blue's office, where at least thirty men in all white stood, white masks covering their faces. Then behind them stood a majority of the Firsts.

The very First Supers that had been created by the Sources, and unfornately for me, all their asses were looking dirty, ragged, and chained.

A huge black chain was clasped around their wrists as the stood looking furious over at me.

"Such as your death, Katrina Justice" Cirron smirked.

And then I was struck, right in the chest.
