Not what we had expected

21. So It Wasn't Just the Mushrooms...

Chapter 21

Kat's POV

She didn't move from her spot for at least another few minutes for she was thinking. In fact, Fury had to physically shake her out of her trance. She had been thinking about the Generals words and it had only in that moment that it all fell into place.

"Frost!" Fury shouted making her jump. Oh shit. That's why he looked angry. What does he think of her after that recording? Is he going to lock her up again? He stared at her trying to read her eyes and she tightened her grip on her staff protectively.

"Is what he said true?" He asked quietly.

"Sort of." She whispered trying to put her explanation into words.

"What do you mean sort of?" He snapped making her look at him.

"I mean I didn't kill thousands of people, though I was there. But it sort of makes sense now, I've never thought much about it and I really didn't believe what the rabbit told me. I seriously thought I had taken some whacked out mushrooms that day. Anyway, all those times I was fighting with an elemental or mythical creature, who actually must have been a spirit. That's why that fire chick and especially that oversized rabbit didn't like me. I am a hybrid, a monstrosity. I am not supposed to exist. And now that we have confirmed I'm a spirit it makes more sense why they wouldn't like me. And all those times I never understood what they were talking about. Now, thanks to that idiot who just confirmed it, I do. And that the rabbit really was real." She laughed leaning back.

"What? So most of the natural disasters in the past three centuries were because of you and a spirit arguing?" Fury asked, clearly still struggling to grasp the concept that she was a spirit and the possibility that others existed and that he, Fury didn't know about them. Kat chuckled to herself before explaining.

"Not all, but a few. Remember Samoa that I didn't tell you about? Well, I may have broken some stuff while having a drinking contest with a local Guardian who was already too drunk to care that something was off about me."

"What guardians? Okay, so basically all you got from that little speech he gave us, is that you understand what the talking rabbit said?" Fury asked raising his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Yep." She stated then added. "And he doesn't want to kill me yet, no, no, not before he hurts me, a lot."

"I do not understand your train of thought. Tell me more about these Spirts." Fury ordered.

"Okay, few people can actually see spirits so it always looked like I did it. There is this whole thing of believing is actually seeing apparently and that's why mostly everyone can't see them. And by the way this is mostly all going on what the rabbit told me. Anyhow, the nature spirts have a contract to cause a disaster every so often just to balance things out, make people re-build and restart. And the other ones who call themselves the guardian spirts protect youth and try to make balance before it becomes unbalance or something. At least that was what the Bunny said." She stopped with the look Fury was giving her.

"Really, a bunny?" He asked sceptically.

"It was a big rabbit who talked okay? He explained a bit to me before throwing a boomerang at my head but anyway that's not the point. The point is that killing is not what they do so you have nothing to worry about. It's all very the soul is out of balance and balance is the key to happiness stuff, ya know?" She tried to point out. "Anyway, the first time I was trying to stop a red flame chick from burning down a town with a bush fire -Nature spirit- I fought her and ended up hurting more than saving. When I met Bunny, who only confronted me because I caused a blizzard on his holiday, he got pissed and chased me back to Antarctica. One thing that he told me is that the Guardian Spirits don't kill. The Nature Spirits though, they don't like humans that much so they don't really care either way. No spirit really likes killing just like most humans don't like it but sometimes they can't help it or don't stay long enough to know they have. They are all about balance and stuff. When I met them it's always been a misunderstanding as I thought they were working for someone not realising they were spirits. Though you can't blame them for all of those disasters, more of them were caused by humans or were, just natural." Kat told Fury laughing and thanking god for the new realisation. Fury sighed and sat down putting his head in his hands.
