Never Alone ( Tadashi x OC)

Introduction 2

Kitiara's POV

"Oh sorry about that, I should watch where I'm going", he said with a slight chuckle." Oh, no it was my fault, I should be sorry ", I said with a slight smile. "Say aren't you the same girl that bumped into me from last night's festival?," he asked.

"Oh, yeah... that was me," I said, a little embarrassed. "Ah, I knew you looked a little familiar, did you enjoy the festival ?", he asked. "Oh yeah, everything was so beautiful and pretty amazing", he nodded at my response. "Was it a long walk for you to reach the festival?", he asked. "Ah, no it wasn't too far from where I live, I got there pretty quick", I said with a slight smile. "You must be a fast walker, or should I say jumper ". My eyes widened a bit when he said that last sentence." You saw me?", I asked him. He nodded his head "I saw you walk into an alley, which was a bit suspicious, so I followed you and by the time I got to the entrance I saw you jump up towards the apartment building", I looked at him shocked and cursed myself for not being more careful.

I tensed up a little and I think he noticed, he chuckled "Relax kid, I'm not a police officer, but I am curious. How were you able to jump that high? Do you have inhuman powers or did you use some type of tech to help you?". I relaxed and let out my breath that I was holding, and smiled a bit. I chuckled a bit before answering his question. "Well I definitely don't have superpowers, but I did invent these bouncing shoes that gave me the ability to jump at high altitudes. And they also have shock absorb impact". Now it was his turn to have a shocked expression", You made those?", he asked. I just nodded my head.

"I'm quite impressed, I don't think any of my students invented something like that", I was a bit confused when he said that. "Order for Callaghan", shouted the shop owner. Then it all clicked, he's the head professor of SFIT, and was also one of my fathers closest friends.

He walked up to the window to pick up his order. He then walked back over to me." Your Robert Callaghan, my father used to talk a lot about you. He would say that you inspired him a lot", I told him." Oh, who was your father? ", he asked. I was about the answer when the shop owner called my name "Order for Morales", I walked up, picked up my order and thanked the man.

I then walked back to Callaghan. "Morales huh, by any chance was your father, Alejandro Morales?", he asked and I nodded "That was him", I said with a bit of sadness in my voice. Callaghan noticed the change of tone in my voice" I heard what happened, I'm very sorry for your loss, "giving me a sad smile. " Yeah, but my parents always said to always remain strong," I said." Your father and I were pretty close, we were both in the military, but later we decided to dedicate our time towards science and technology. He did tell me a little bit about you, and how at the age of five you started making your own inventions", I laughed a little "Yeah, he helped me a lot with my projects, those were good times", I said with a sigh. "Well it was a pleasure to meet you Professor Callaghan, but I should head back home, my Uncle is probably wondering what's taking me so long", I said with a small chuckle.

He laughed " I understand, but if you don't have anything going on tomorrow maybe you can stop by SFIT, I can give you a small tour of the place". I looked up at him remembering my father mentioning it a few times. "SFIT, I've heard many good things about the Institution", I said with a small smile. Callaghan smiled "Then you should definitely stop by. Here, this is my office number ", he handed me a contact card, I grabbed it and stared at it for a few seconds before looking back up." I'll think about it, but thanks again". " By the way I never got your name" he asked. I slightly turned towards him " Kitiara Morales" I said with a slight smile and gave him a two finger salute. Callaghan waved goodbye and we parted ways.

I arrived at home and my Uncle turned away from the TV. "Finally! What took you so long Kitiara?", he asked with a bit of concern. "I bumped into the head Professor of SFIT, and we had a bit of a conversation. He would like me to visit the institution tomorrow". I walked over to the dining table and took our food out of the plastic bag. " So, are you going?", he asked. I looked at him "Do you want me to go?", I asked. My uncle walked over to the table and sat down with a heavy sigh." Listen Kitiara, last night I was thinking. You're a grown up and I can't always keep you safe, and you should make something of yourself out there in the world. I mean that's why I taught you how to defend yourself ", I nodded in agreement and giving him a face saying " Yeah obviously".

My Uncle chuckled "Also your father told me that he wanted you to attend that school, because he saw how talented and smart you are Kitiara", I looked down, grinning slightly. "Thanks Tio Luis, it means a lot hearing that ", I said with a small smile." No problem kiddo, now I don't know about you, but this heart to heart talk has made me hungry. Let's eat!", he said and I let out a small laugh.
