A Cats Meow

Chapter 3

         

Kat's POV

"Kat" I replied with a shy smile. He gave me a big grin "well miss Kat, I am so glad your ok and by now the doctors should say that you can go home soon." He said which made me smile. He pulled up a chair to the hospital bed and sat down "so, what were you doing out on the street like that, you should really leave that job to the heroes" he said looking at me wondering why.

I was thankful he didn't realize that I was one of the heroes because we were supposed to keep our identity a secret, even to other heroes. I know this may seem stupid there was a very good reason. We needed to stay safe and if our information gets leaked it will cause a villain to get it and easily kill the hero.

Apparently I was spaced out for a while because Jasper was waving his hand in front of my face. I blink a few times before focusing on him once again "sorry..." I mutter and look away a bit embarrassed. I heard him chuckle "don't be sorry, You have been threw a lot" he said with a smile. I smiled back, not even meaning to. "Whelp, I should probably get going, maybe I'll see you around Kat" he said and got up. I watched as he headed for the door but before he left he turned around and faced me. He waved a simple goodbye and flashed his smile at me once more.

I let out a sigh of relief as he left. 'I'll probably never see him again...' I thought to myself sadly. Just a few minutes later a nurse from earlier came into the room. Not the mean one who should really be fired, but the kind older woman that has treated me so kindly this whole time. I looked over at her and offered a smile

"Quite a looker isn't he? You must be really lucky to have em" the nurse said which made me blush like crazy "no way! we are not a thing!" I said quickly and a bit to loud which caused her to look at me strange and had a face of 'go on' . I let out a sigh "he is just an extremely nice person who helped me, well more like saved me" She replied and the nurse just giggled.

After a long moment of silence, which seemed to last forever, the nurse started to check my wound. She lifted my shirt up and unraveled the bandages. I had a large cut that was held together by multiple stitches. The sight made my stomach turn and I had to look away. "No more bleeding and you seem to be able to move just fine, you should be out of here before you know it" the nurse offered with a kind smile.

I let out a small sigh as the nurse grabbed more bandages and skillfully wrapped me up once again. "you will need to change out your bandages every night before you go to bed and when you shower be extra careful of your stomach." I nod as she talks "I will send you home with a bag that will start you out. It will contain cleaning supplies and bandages.

I nod once again with the words she was saying. I don't think im one hundred percent paying attention but I think she is getting the point across. When we were talking a man, probably around 6' 2 walked in. He was wearing a lab coat and was holding a clipboard "Miss Kat Valentine, I must say it is incredible how well you are doing... You will be held overnight but tomorrow, maybe around noon you will be free to go" he said with a grin.

Jasper's POV

I walked out of the room a bit unsure if what I just did was the right thing. I thought back to the fight today, 'where was the cat girl hero? Why wasn't she there? She is usually always on the scene before any hero could get there...' I kept thinking to myself confused about the situation. 'Maybe she went on vacation or fell asleep' At this point I was just trying to clear my mind.

I walked out of the hospital happy to breath in fresh air. I looked around and everything seemed peaceful. The air was the perfect temperature, not to hot and not to cold. I headed off in the direction my house was at. While I walked I looked around at all the nature. The trees were full and green while flowers blossomed and showed off their beautiful color.

I walked past many boutiques where I would often be stopped and they would ask me to model for them. I never really understood why, but apparently I just look like a model. I was in high school, a junior to be precise. I didn't really like school but thats pretty normal. I was one of the smarter kids in my grade rocking at number five. Although being a hero takes a lot out of me so I try to limit myself of after school activities. Although I couldn't help being a football player.

A boy my age would be found very suspicious if they didn't want to play football and me wanting to hide the fact I am a hero, decided it would be best to join and lay low. I never realized how much work playing football was. The coaches made us have crazy practice schedules. We would practice morning and night. I found that this majorly infected the fact I was a hero but I just let the cat girl do her thing and cover for me.

I always wondered if it would be cool for all the heroes to meet up. Like a monthly meeting but no one would ever jump on board saying 'It would be too risky or that could be a major disaster' I never believed them though. I figured it would be a good thing. Am I the only one who believes this is a great way to meet friends? I mean come on, what if this super cool hero went to my school and I never realized it?

I let out a sigh as I looked around my surroundings where I found myself in front of my house. My house wasn't the biggest in the neighborhood but also wasn't the smallest. It was perfect for myself to live in. I had plenty of space to keep all my awards and the best part is I don't have parents to nag at me to do this or do that.

Sure it may seem like a sad concept of a high school boy living alone without his parents to guide him or to help him. I would always laugh at them. Being a hero allowed me to earn the money I needed to cover living expenses and then some for goof off time.

I walked into the living area and dropped onto my soft couch. I never realized how tired I truly was until I could feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Soon they were so heavy my senses turned to black and I drifted off into a much needed sleep.
