A.N. Ok, so you need to know, this chapter has different warnings from the others, and is partly optional. This chapter can be skipped if you have an aversion to anti-gay bigotry, rape, or character death. It just fills out Cate’s back story, explaining her cold and brittle aspects. To make skipping it easier for squeamish readers, I put it in a different chapter, despite happening concurrent with the events in Passages.

Steve found himself in front of a football field. The scoreboard advertised the Hornets, presumably a local team. Walking over to the bleachers, he saw movement behind them. About to turn away, because even he knew what was likely being done, he stopped as he heard a cry for help. Rounding the corner, ducking under the seats, he saw two large boys cornering a girl.
“Goddamn lesbo. Think you can just spit on what’s right and good, don’t cha, Margaret? You and your slut girlfriend tryin’ to make fools out of us? God hates you fucks, but we’re gonna do ya a favor, Meg, get you back on the right track.” The boy who was spouting the obscenities was reaching for his fly as his friend grappled the girl, pulling her pants down.
“Hey! Back off!” Steve yelled, but was unheard. He tried to grab the boys, but his hands passed through them. They shook as though they felt a chill, but no more. Unable to do anything, he screamed in rage and frustration. As he fell to his knees, not wanting to abandon the girl he couldn’t help, he heard a voice behind him.
“Take your filthy hands off her this instant.” Turning Steve saw another girl, her face cold with fury, pointing a gun at the boy who had attempted to rape the first girl. Slim where the other was muscular, her light brown hair cropped, she could have passed as a boy if not for her tight tee shirt. She seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t place her. “This gun is loaded, and I will shoot you. Don’t think you have a human shield. I won the last two State Fair marksmanship competitions, if you’ll recall, and just last weekend tagged Brad here in paintball. That’d be why he’s the one pinning her, because paintballs and man-bits-balls don’t mix.” The two boys stopped trying to maneuver their crying prisoner as a buffer, instead pushing her at the steel-voiced girl Steve now believed to be the previously mentioned girlfriend. Caught off guard, moving to catch the falling Meg, she dropped her gun hand. The boy still wearing pants, Brad, charged the two of them. The rescuer brought her arm up around her sweetheart, and the gun disappeared between bodies for a moment. When the three disengaged, Brad had the gun and a bloom of red was staining Meg’s blond hair. The strangely familiar girl emitted a strangled scream, her already dark eyes going hard.
Steve knew he had seen those eyes before, in fact, now that they looked the same, he knew this was Agent Cate McCann, and she was about to kill the murderer of her beloved. He moved between them, using his body’s chilling manifestation to block her attack, speaking quickly. “No. This isn’t you. You’re a good agent, a keeper of peace, an enforcer of the law. You can’t throw your life away with a murder, no matter how just. Think what would happen to Karen if you go to jail. I know you’d do anything to keep her safe and happy.” A flicker of emotion showed in the dead eyes of his future protector. She pulled a cell phone out of her pocket one-handed, and Steve felt the urge to pat her on the back, although it would just dispirit his friend. “Good. You’re going to make a fine S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.”
