Katz placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't," he whispered.
I bit my lower lip and then lined my kids up. The whole fiasco was too much. Not to mention it was just Katz and I left in here. After break Katz, Sly and I would go to cooking.

Right before I left after my class I was hugged from behind. I turned and smiled at Katz. He returned it, but it was clear it was fake. His eyes were dull and sad and the dimples in his cheeks weren't there. I was tempted to place a hand on his cheek but I brushed it off and nodded walking away. Although in my gut I knew, I shouldn't have done that.

After a break we went to cooking. I met Sly and Katz there. Sly was excited, you could just see it, but Katz was faking it again. I took Katz's shoulder and leaned in whispering in his ear,"are you ok?"
He backed away, rubbed one of his eyes like he just woke up, and smiled at me. I gave him a worried look and he just brushed it off.

We tried making cakes. We separated into groups and practically made failed flat cakeish things! I overheard Sly whisper to Katz,"You ok? You don't look good."
Katz laughed it off and responded with a,"wow thanks Eddie!"
Sly gave me a look of terror and worry and I gave it back.

It took about an hour before we left. Katz held a small paper. Sly looked over his shoulder and Katz hissed leaning away. Sly laughed grinning. Katz returned it, it wasn't fake this time. Sly tackle-hugged Katz and Katz squeaked.
"No escape!" Sly announced joyously.
The kids backed away from the two.
"Fox and Kitty! Can we not, at least now?" I begged playfully.

Sly grabbed my wrist and pulled me down with them.
"No! You have joined Kitteh!" Sly laughed holding me in a hug while he sat on Katz.
"No leaving," he hummed.
"We're doomed!" Katz squeaked.
"Soo Kitty," I hummed joking,"you and SCMowns, eh eh?"
"Oh shut up!" He hissed.
"Hey! No cat-fighting!" Sly ordered.
"Make me!" Katz snapped back.
Sly gasped and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Wait a sec," Katz realized,"how'd you know about that?"
"He didn't tell you, did he?!" Katz squeaked.
"Nah, he only said that you were cute a few nights ago," Sly hummed shrugging.
"Ew!" One of Katz's boys squawked.
"Oh shut up! It's none of your business!" Katz snapped.
The response he got in return was Everyone saying "OOOOO!" It was fantastic.

"Besides," Katz shrugged,"Jess ships Sly and Steven, I would never break her heart like that," he grinned cheekily.
Sly shot up and ran to the nearest trash can to fake throw up. Katz and I laughed. We just got a single glare in return.
"It's hard not to laugh at that Iron man!" Katz laughed sitting up.
"That'll never happen!" Sly spat.
"Why?" Pearl asked stepping out of the crowd.

"Because you like him?" She joked.
Sly stiffened and if looks could kill, we'd all be dead.
"I-" Sly began.
"Oh yeah, totally. He totally likes him!" Katz laughed mockingly.
"Red Hood. Shut up," Sly said blankly.
"Oh yeah, I've seen it," I joked along.
"Why else would they sneak off together where no one else is!" Katz smirked.
"Hey!" Sly snapped.
"Do you think they've ever kissed?" I asked.
"With their history? Probably," Katz shrugged.

"Enough!" Sly stomped.
"Oh, Iron Man is mad," Katz hummed.
"Run?" I asked.
"Better plan then I have!" He said.
We got up and we booked it.
"Seriously!" I heard Sly yell after us.
"This is the most fun I've had in awhile!" Katz joked.
"That's an overstatement," I laughed.
"Maybe, but it's still hilarious!" He laughed.

I looked behind us and saw Sly wave us down and yell,"STOP! OMEGA, KALA! STOP!"
"He called me Omega," Katz instantly stopped and turned around and I followed suit.
He never does that.

"He knows I hate that," Katz whispered staring blankly at him.
Sly gently waved us to come towards him slowly as if he was warning us about a tiger behind us.
Instead Katz grabbed my arm and booked it away from him.
"What? What are we doing?" I asked.
"He'd never call me Omega! That's not him!" He explained huffing and puffing.

"Maybe-" I tried.
"She's becoming a cake," Katz said worriedly.
"What?" I asked.
"She was a small problem and she's becoming a bigger one!" Katz shrieked as a blast of Sly's power gun thing shot above us.
"Katz! Cookies aren't Cookies if you bake them as if they're a cake!" I said ducking as another one zipped overhead.

"I know! But this time, I'm not the only one who keeps putting it in the oven to bake more," he said as we turned around a corner.
I didn't know how to respond to this. Who else was fueling the fire?
"Who else is turning on the oven?" I asked.

"Jess and Jose!" He cried ducking into a classroom. Inside sat Steven and his class and Alex and his class.
"How do we stop it?" I asked.
"I don't know!" He shrieked.
A white light shone through the window. We bolted away from the door and hid inside of the closet in the back.

"If Sly asks, we didn't come in here!" I said closing the door and bolting it from the inside.
I looked behind me to see Katz cutting out a hole big enough for a human to fit through in the floor of the cabinet.
"What are you doing?" I whispered.
"Rule number one, always have an escape," he hissed back finally pulling the thing up.

Below sat a tunnel. One that I didn't even know existed. I pressed my ear against the door straining it to hear something.
"Did Red Hood and Wolverine come in here?" I heard the voice of Sly ask.
I couldn't hear the answer to that question but I could hear the metallic footprints pounding closer.

"Can we go?" I whispered scared.
Katz nodded and dropped down. I jumped down after him and closed the hatch behind us.
"Right or left?" I whispered.
"Right," he answered taking off.
I ran after him and we booked it for a while till he got tired. He looked up and pointed at the ceiling.
"Hoist me up?" He asked.

I nodded and cupped my hands. He stepped on my hands and I hoisted him up. He slid another thing open and he peaked up. In return he got a concerned Castor and Jess.
"What is it?" Jess asked.
"Sly's chasing us," he whispered.
"Why?" Jess asked.

"Her," was the only reason he gave and then he jumped back down. We backed up as Castor jumped too and Jess flew down closing the latch and then landed.
"Are you sure?" Jess asked.
"He was shooting at us!" I said glancing around,"and chasing us!"
"He still could be!" I squeaked.
"He doesn't know about the tunnels," Katz said.

"But he could've found the square you cut out!" I protested.
"True, but that's why we've been booking it," he said.
"Do you think Alex and Steven are ok?" I asked.
"I'm sure they're ok. They are Superman and Green Lantern," Katz shrugged.
"What about our kids?" I asked.
"They know how to defend themselves, if something happens they can just find a way out of it," Castor said.

"Good point," I nodded.
"Still worried though," Katz whimpered.
"Should we get Jose?" Jess asked.

xXSlyFoxXx: what the heck was that guys?

We all stiffened looking at the message.

SDogSteven:guys, this isn't funny!
BurnAlex:why were you running from Sly? He's completely fine.
SuperSushix:probably annoyed him or something XD
Kala:WTF why were you SHOOTING at us?!
Omegadark14:and calling me Omega, so uncool!
Aphmau:JOSE!
remix10tails:wat?
Aphmau:meet meh!
Remix10tails:why?
Aphmau:cause we're playing tag with her!
Remix10tails:do I have to play?
Omegadark14:Kala and I didn't have a choice! Why should you, Castor, or Jess have one?
Kala:Ha!

I stuck out my tongue and off we went.

Remix10tails:can I drag PBat with me?
Omegadark14:feel free!

I laughed and looked around.

xXSlyFoxXx:Why isn't my suit rebooting?
Remix10tails: IDK
Kala:you're it

"Do you think it wasn't on purpose?" Jess asked.
"I don't think Sly was doing it on purpose but whoever this "her" is, I think she might be," I said.
"Luckily she wasn't able to see her," Katz said.
"How is that a "luckily"? Are we supposed to help if we can't see it?" I asked.
"Exactly," Jess and Katz said.
Castor and I exchanged looks and then went back to worrying about everything.

"Stairs," Katz said and I looked forward.
Then I tripped. I tumbled down the stairs with everyone else laughing at me.

Aphmau:wow.
Kala:um help?
Castor:that was priceless lol!
Omegadark14:I warned you.
Kala:should've warned me faster!
SDogSteven:what happened?
Aphmau:Kala fell down the stairs! Lol
Castor:true comedy!
Omegadark14:I warned you when we got close to the stairs. How far up ahead were you?
Kala:I was behind you!
Castor:even better!
Omegadark14:THEN HOW ON EARTH DID YOU FALL DOWN THE STAIRS!
Kala:I DON'T KNOW!
Aphmau:WAFFLES!
Castor:PANCAKES
PBat:I WANT TO BE INCLUDED!
Kala:I'M STULL TUMBLING!
Omegadark14:THEN STOP YOURSELF!
Kala:HOW WOULD I DO THAT?
Omegadark14:USE YOUR STUPID CLAWS OR SOMETHING!
Kala:Oh! I forgot I had those!

I ripped my skin at my knuckles as my blades shot out. I slammed them into the wall stopping me in my tracks. Blood dripped from my knuckles and pain shot through my hands by the force I had to use. And then the stairs disappeared below me, leaving me dangling from my claws.

Kala:THE STAIRS DISAPEARED!
Omegadark14:WE SEE THAT WTF!
Kala:don't know if anyone can tell but this is REALLY PAINFUL!
Aphmau:hold on tight. I'm coming to get you!

I sat there for a whole minute and just as I started to start slipping again Jess wrapped her arms around my waist and I intracted my blades. She carried me to the bottom, and left me there to get the guys.

xXSlyFoxXx:everyone ok? I finally got my suit to reboot.
Kala:I'm fine
BurnAlex:dude you might need to redo your suit. I think it's fried. There's this black goo coming from it.
Omegadark14: DON'T TOUCH THAT! Sly, get out of the suit. Very carefully!

We sat there for a few minutes waiting for him to say something.

xXSlyFoxXx:ugh! What is that! Yeah no! No touching that stuff!

We all sighed and we continued walking until we got to another hatch.

Omegadark14:find a way to contain it if anyone touches it, they're "it".
Remix10tails:and trust us, you do not want to be "it".

"What does "it" mean?" I asked.
"Don't worry about it," Jess said.
