Alexander sat outside the nurse's station with Boy Blue for the entire first period of school, before Alice let them in to check on Dragon Lady. Alexander rushed to Dragon Lady's side.
"I-is she okay?" he said to Alice. "What happened?" He was breathing heavily.
"Well." Alice started, though Alexander could just barely hear her over his own heartbeat. "There doesn't seem to be any bruises, she's perfectly healthy in fact. But right at her waistline there seems to be a surgical scar, whoever kidnapped her must've-"
"Desmond!" Alexander interrupted. "He must've-"
"There's one more thing!" Alice interrupted right back. "I found a note on her, I think you should read it." She handed the note to Alexander, who quickly opened it. It read:
Dear Alexander-
I'd apologize for taking her, but then I'd be the liar. No. I'm not the liar here. That title belongs to you. I know you faked having a second power. I was the person who loaned you some of the good one's technology. Can you really live with yourself knowing that you're a big fat liar? I know that Ruby still has her hair in the style that you put it in that day. Does your moral compass really point away from telling her that her fashion sense is one big, ugly lie? Well, back on topic, I did a little surgery on your half-dragon girl. She'll never be able to get pregnant. Wave goodbye to your happily ever after!
Yours Truly,
---Desmond
Alexander didn't know how to respond.
"Please." He whispered. "Leave me with her for now." Alice and Boy Blue respectfully walked out of the room.
"Hey, you!" Alice said, turning to Boy Blue. "You look familiar, let's talk. Somewhere private, just you and me."
Dragon Lady awoke with a cough.
"DL!" alexander yelled. "It's me."
"A-Alex?" Dragon Lady responded.
"Yes, I'm here. You're back at school."
"What happened? What did Desmond do?"
"Here, I'll just hand you the note he wrote." Dragon Lady silently read the note, then tears started to flow from her eyes.
"H-How long have I been gone?"
"Two weeks." Alexander said. Dragon Lady immediately sat up and hugged Alexander tightly, both of them crying at this point.
"I'm so sorry for leaving you." Dragon Lady said.
"Don't be. You're here now."
"I-I've been thinking, Alexander." Dragon Lady said. "I want a name, a real name, how does Karla sound?"
Alexander wiped tears from his eyes. "I-It sounds lovely."
