Thanks for reading and commenting, Morgana. Yes, Cat did the breaking. And it has affected her as much as it has Clark, just in a slightly different way. And putting three emotionally damaged people together as a team creates some interesting situations, some of which I didn't anticipate in my initial treatment. You'll see some of it in the third chapter.

Which is coming up in moments. Happy shut-in reading, y'all!
