She stood still for a moment to think, but she felt something soft touching her leg. Looking down, she spotted a familiar orange kitten in a mini butchers outfit.

She bent down and picked the kitten up. The kitten meowed at her and licked her palm. She smiled as the kitten batted her fingers.

It was then, she saw the looming shadow behind her.

Nervously, she turned and was met with a well know villain named The Butcher. She was aware of some changes made to the world by Wordgirl not existing.

One of the changes was that the villains either had a career change or became more influential, like Mr. Bigs and Dr. Two-Brains owning two thirds of the city individually.

The last part of the city was free territory since it would be boring to own it all. The villains that were of equal status would not have liked being stepped on.

The Butcher was a big time villain and a friend of Two-brains, who offered to give him a large territory but was turned down. He was still respected even with out a claim.

I followed my dear cat into a dark and dirty alleyway and saw a figure pick them up. My cat seemed to like this person so I relax.

Then I remember that I'm a well known villain and everyone knows who my cat is. Of course no one would mess with them, besides what kind of monster would do such a thing?

When they turned a round, I came face to face with a small child. Hopefully she doesn't run a way screaming like some kids do.

"What are you do'n out, kid? You shouldn't be out so late. Go home, kid.", I tell her.

The kid started crying after staring at me for a moment. I began to panic, not expecting that.

Now that I think about it, she didn't look so great. She had a lot of dirt and tears in her faded clothes, her hair was matted and sticking in places.

Her lip trembled as she spoke in a cautious voice, "Go home....?"

She didn't look like she's had much to eat either. I don't like the look in her eye as she tried not to say more. Li'l Mittens began to meow at her with sympathy and purred against her cheek to calm her down.

I take a step back and kneeled down to her level. I held my hands up and spoke softly.

"Hey... I'm the Butcher and uh... don't panic. I have some choirs to do and I need some one to watch over Li'l Mittens over here. How about I pay you for watching her while I'm out 'n about? It'll double as house sit'n too... so a good deal eh?", I said quietly as I could.

She held Li'l Mittens a little closer and snapped out of whatever thought she was on. She turned slightly way, looking ready to bolt if I moved too fast.

"I know I'm an influantcel bad guy, but I'm tell'n ya I could really use the help. I mean look at Li'l Mittens! They'd love to have ya over to play. I won't even be home! So what do ya say? You want to pet sit?", I asked.

She looked at me for a moment before looking at Li'l Mittens. She murmured something into Li'l Mittens fur.

"What? Could you please repeat that?", I asked nicely.

"Influential...it's... the word....Influential. It means.... ", she trailed off shyly.

I encourage her to continue.

"W-well.... It means to impact thoughts and ideas...", she stopped and I realized she wasn't going to talk any more.

I take my keys out of my pocket and lay them on the ground.

"Look, I really have to go. Make yourself at home and help yourself to the fridge. If you aren't big on meat... I think I have a couple fruit and cheese laying around.", I say as I slowly stand up.

She tenses up and flinches a step a way from me. It makes my chest burn with a sad feeling.

"I'm gonna trust you...Li'l Mitten means a lot to me, you know?", I said before I hold my hands up and carefully turn to walk a way.

She consults the cat and the cat jumps out of her arms.

The cat picks up the keys and trots back to her, rubbing its head against her leg. She bends down to pet the cat and holds her hand out for the cat to drop the key into it.

She holds the key up and looks at the cat.

"Well.... It would be nice to go to a proper bathroom....", she murmured.

Meanwhile, The Butcher wandered around with no clue what he's doing or where he's going.
