Catherine never wanted to see her brother again. She had gone so far as to change her last name so she had no association with him. He was arrogant, reckless, and only thought for himself. When her apartment burned down with all her belongings inside it, she had no choice but to call him.

From her home being destroyed to a potential relationship with Loki, Catherine could see things burning everywhere. But maybe that wasn't a bad thing.
