She's basically a superhero.
That's what Kate has come to accept over the past few days. It's kind of a weird superhero thing she's got going on, pretty much like Spider-Man, only she's been way too lazy to make herself a costume or those cool shooting things he uses, but it's almost the same. (And, okay, it's not entirely that she's lazy, she also has no idea how to go about making something like that.)
Besides sticking to things, though, which had pretty much sucked that first day, she's super strong and she can jump like, really high, and it turns out that being able to stick to walls is actually kind of cool. She's gotten a little better at figuring it out, at sticking only to the things she wants to stick to and she's maybe experimenting with climbing a particularly tall building that evening. This is the part she hasn't exactly shared with Newt, because these powers had come on so suddenly and she thinks he might worry about her if she tells him she's been climbing buildings. If the powers disappear just as suddenly, she's pretty much doomed, but she doesn't think they'll just fail her while she's halfway up a wall.
As she heaves herself onto the rooftop and looks down at the street below, she finds herself feeling kind of exceptionally free. Her life is amazing and she's happy, but this is something like she's never had before and she doesn't know how long it might last, if she'll be like this forever, but for the moment, it's kind of nice to just sit above the city like this, having climbed up here all on her own.
Looking down, she spots Marius, small and far below her and she grins, wondering if she should jump down and scare him.
