Post takes place after mask party....

Natasha was barely able to sit up in the front seat of Kas's car. To an untrained person she would appear to be drunk. In reality She was low on body sugar. Not having anything to eat for a while and using her powers zapped her out. She was shivering though it was plenty warm in the car. She fought to stay concious. " Natasha... need to go to hospital... need sugar." She mumbled in russian incoherently. She was starting to sweat a little.

"Yeah, yeah. Hospital. I got that when the cigar-smokin' blender with bad attitude told me."
Kelly answered the mumbling with a less than enthusiastic sigh.
He wasn't happy about their destination, but they would be at the hosptial within minutes.
"Hang in there. You'll be fixed up in two shakes of a.. aww fuck it."
Dropping the archaic expressions, Kas also tossed the white Stetson over his shoulder, guiding Silver away from the Capitale parking lot.
"How are you liking the Institute this time around? Do you think history going to repeat itself?"
Doubting the girl could really answer well, Kas was trying to at least keep her talking and concious.

Natasha was starting to black out. She heard his voice and opened her eyes a little. She started to speak in Russian but reminded herself english. She had to speak in english. " I do not know... Back then not so lonely. Then everyone gone. Storm was mine friend..."Her shirt was starting to soak with sweat. She slumped in the seat an went quiet.

"You mean that old hag that shoots lightning an shit?"
As if the name Storm wasn't recognised by everyone that knew even a little about mutants. Years ago, back in the days Natasha was talking about, the word mutant was practically synonymous with Charles Xavier and his A-team; Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, and Jean Grey.

Now things had certainly changed, and mutant meant something unclean and people were no longer denying that such things existed.. they were instead arming themselves.
When Kas got no answer from Natasha, he frowned a bit and muttered something reassuring Natasha might be able to grasp, though it was very textbook.

"Ispravim eto v blizhaysheye vremya.." (fix it soon)
He turned his attention back to the road, and soon the car stopped in the parking lot of the hospital.
"C'mon Miss Blondie."

Without wasting any time, the Lone Ranger carried Natasha into the ER and flagged down a nurse to get some insulin for her. They sent a wheelchair and took her to a bed in Triage to rest until it kicked in. Kelly sat in the chair next to the bed, staying engaged in a game of Angry Birds to pass the time and take away the annoying beeping of machines and frantic calls between the hospital staff. Apparently halloween was a top-dollar night for those in the business of medicine.

Natasha was curled up under a blanket the nurse put on her. The red dress she was wearing was very out of place. In her sleep she looked like a child playing dress up. Her blonde hair had fallen out of its up do some time ago.

As she lay there sleeping she began to change. Her features changed and she looked ten years younger. Instead a 10 year old version of Natasha was laying in the bed. The girl stirred and started to wake up. She looked at Kas with a confused expression. " How did i end up... here?" She looked at her IV and attempted to pull it out.

The blonde girl's confused look was met with an equally confused look as Kelly glanced up at the sound of the smaller voice; causing the Fat Red Bird to fly straight up, landing uselessly on nothing.
"Dammit! That's the highest score I ever had!"
Kas whined, before noticing Natasha's problem. This made him smile.

"I think that's the least of your issues at the moment, kid sister."
Getting up to close the door quietly, Kas put the phone in Natasha's lap. As the screen blinked off, the face of the device was notably reflective.

"We should get out of here before the nurses come back. They might report you missing once they realize the room is empty, but that's okay, since I didn't give them your real name anyway."

Laying down the law as the supposed adult in the room, Kas looked out the window before unlocking and opening it, letting in the freezing night air.

"Chances are no one will remember a thing, with all of the chaos going on around here."
New Years Eve, every hospital was overrun with emergencies.
Kas watched the door as he switched off the light, then the monitoring machines. He stopped beside Natasha, taking her tiny wrist and turning it over.
No warning at all, he yanked the taped-on intravenous needle out. Fortunately it was so quickly done that it was easy to get over the sting.
Rubbing her arm for a second, he dried off the few drips of blood that escaped. Something like that couldn't be left behind.

"Don't take offense or anything, but I don't think you could be very fast right now."
There wasn't alot of room for Natasha to object being picked up and carried away. Once they squeezed out of the window, it was a clear blanket of snow between them and the silver sports car.
"Does this sorta thing happen often?" Kelly inquired with a laugh as they fled. He really liked the part of busting his friends out of the hospital. Even if he was the one who took them there.

Natasha blinked in confusion. She hadnt yet realized She had used her powers in her sleep. She whimpered in pain when he pulled out her iv and let out a surprised gasp when Kas picked her up. What he said didnt register until she saw her feet as he picked her up. When they hit the ground she squirmed.

" Natasha has the ability to change age as pleases.Put down now."" She squirmed to get free of his grasp.

"As she pleases, huh?" Setting the blonde girl down on her feet in the snow, he laughed a little. "That must be handy."
It left a hanging question however. Why did she change then? Was it the effects of the gas at that bogus party, or did Natasha not have the handle on her ability that she thought?

"I should get you back to the school before this night gets any weirder.. Next thing I know, you could turn into a witch and my car could become a pumpkin."
At least the 'pumpkin' came equipped with a good heater. After starting the engine, Kas turned the dial all the way to the red side and drew cartoony faces in the frost covering his window.

"You must like the weather this time of year, right?" He commented to his passenger once his teeth stopped chattering.

The little girl buckled herself in and tried to look out over the dashboard. " When u was little girl. I live in siberia. Me mama, papa, and twin brother. I had powers... they wanted safety. They brought nata- me to mutant school.... they leave me there. Dissapear.Never see them again." Tears started to roll down her cheeks. " I make no friends at school. Only Professor charles and Ororo....Then everyone die. I live in ruins until Mr Jason and little girl find me."

"Siberia? Frozen fuck-cicles.."
While listening to Natasha's story, Kelly nodded and glanced away from the road to pick a song on the radio. The blonde girl's words were something at least Kas could understand, in part. Mostly the peice about everyone dying and her living alone.

"Sorry to hear that."
While taking the freeway exit toward North Salem, Kelly's eyes lit up.
"Hey, waitaminnit.. a twin brother? He could have powers too."
It made sense. Twins shared most of the same chromosomes. Natasha probably didn't know, because girls mature faster than boys. Her brother could have showed ability after Natasha was already gone.
"I could search for him. Maybe even find out if he is looking for you."

It wasn't difficult to find someone who could hack the right sources.
The ideas was plausible enough that Kelly was smiling about it.
If he had any family alive that wanted to see him for a good reason, he would want to know. It was his luck that his cousin; despite being like a brother to him when they were young, had only tracked him down to try ruining his life..
But he could hope that Natasha had better luck.
"What do you think?"

Natasha was getting taller in her seat. She was returning to her original age. She would need to eat soon. Her stomach growled in protest. She was lightheaded like earlier but not as bad. She looked over at him tiredly. " I have not seen family since xavier was professor. Who to say they still live?"

Seeing Natasha begin to look normal again was reassuring, though her words weren't so much.

"Maybe they are alive. Don't you want to know?"
Why not? What's worse than forever wondering if someone who knows you is still out there in the world? He failed think of a reason for Natasha to refuse; but then again she was a teenage girl. Kelly was sure calculating Faster-Than-Light travel would sooner happen than totally understanding the female mind.
There were a few things he knew, and hoped one of them could brighten Natasha's spirits a little.

"Think about it, anyway. There's a place I wanna stop at.. I think they have something you might like too. You ever heard of a deep fried candy bar?"
