Your gateway to endless inspiration
Kaaru watched the sky turn from night to day and awaited for Jesse to wake up. She was always a night owl. Even as a baby she would lay awake all night, not making a sound as she watched the night that fascinated her.
“Ms. Mcada?” Jesse asks, waking up.
“Hmm? Yeah kid?” She asks, rubbing her eyes.
“You okay? You’ve been staring out that window for a few hours now.” He says, getting up.
“Yeah I’m-... I’m fine.” She says, not really okay at all.
Jesse nods and gets up and dressed.
“Where to today?” He asks
“Next we’re going to make our way to Phoenix. We’re in Sierra Vista. That’s roughly 206 miles. It’ll take about 3 days.” She yawns.
“Cool!” He says, easily impressed.
She chuckles and they get ready to leave.

The next morning the girl walked with the young versions of Mccree and Hanzo, talking about what happened from when they last saw her. She enjoyed the walk until they were called to the lab of a brilliant scientist by the name of Winston, who the girl had a grudge against.
Winston had begun a long and brutal process of finding a way to get the younger versions back to their time. The girl disapproved of the gorilla but didn’t have any better ideas so she kept her mouth shut.
“It will take a few days but I will get the machine up and running.” Winston says as the girl sulks in the corner.
“That should work, right kiddo?” Mccree asks the girl, his younger counterpart piecing together they’ll be stuck there a few more days.
“That machine better work. I don’t want to be covered from head to toe in bruises trying to send them back. It’s hard enough getting me and Toby around and he’s a dog. So get it right Peanut breath.” She scowls at Winston.
Winston gulps and nods, getting to work.
The girl disappears for the rest of the day, leaving the Hanzos and Mccrees to their own devices, Soldier 76 having cancelled Mccree’s next mission.
It isn’t until late the next morning that they find her in the infirmary, her arm getting recast.
“What’d you do kid?” Mccree asks as she gets up to leave.
“Threw myself off the building.” She says before leaving.
“That wasn’t very funny.” Mccree says.
“She wasn’t joking.” Angela shakes her head.
“Shit. What’d she do that for?” He asks and she shrugs.
The girl went to the mess hall, her dog Toby waddling behind her as she shovels ice cream into her mouth.
~reality~
“She threw herself off the roof? Why?” Jesse asks.
“She was reminded of something bad in the past. But she’ll be alright.” Kaaru smiles as they continue their journey.

~This is late and not formatted how I’d like but it’s here. I’m having technical difficulties with my phone and it’s pissing me off. However I will just continue writing on my PC for the time being.
Apologies. I hope this short blurb is enough for now.~
