“Are you sure your grandpa won’t mind? We’re using his house! Wally, what about your grandma?”

“Grandma died a couple of years ago. This is the first time grandpa’s been away since. He’s not s’posed t’be back for a couple days, he won’t know anything!”

“Well, okay. It’s gonna be fun, right?”

Wally pulled a ring full of keys from his pocket and unlocked the front door of the house. He let his girlfriend in first and closed the door behind them, but didn’t re-lock it. He lead the pretty rat girl to the livingroom, sat on the couch, (a deep, well-padded three-seater), and pulled his shoes off. He motioned to Ewynn to do the same. She did, laying her tail coquettishly over his lap. Wally stroked her tail, the red fur of his fingers brushing and caressing the bare flesh, his mouth spread in a wide, vulpine grin. Ewynn threw herself into his arms. She pressed her lips to the fox’s mouth. Her tongue slid inside, licked his teeth, felt his cheeks and the roof of his mouth. Wally pushed back with his tongue, pressed hers down and licked here and there. She sucked to encourage him. His long foxy tongue slid further and further back. She tried to swallow it, but broke the kiss, choking and coughing. Wally laughed.

“It’s not funny!” Ewynn grunted, (when she was able.) “I nearly threw up!”

“Sorry,” he replied. “Hey, get your phone out!”

“Why?”

“I nearly forgot,” he said, as he pulled his own phone from his jacket pocket. “We should turn our phones off so they don’t interrupt.”

“Oh! Yeah, good idea.”

Ewynn pulled her phone out of her school bag and turned it off. She put it back, then pulled out a small, square, plastic package and a tube of gel.

“Wally, I want you to wear this. And put some of this on.”

“Aw c’mon, no. You can’t get pregnant the first time.”

“It’s our second time. And it hurt the first time, I want lube. Okay?”

“I want you to suck me! I can’t have a condom on while you suck me, it tastes like plastic!”

“Oh, well, I guess. Take your pants off!”

“Just a sec,” Wally said as he finished with his phone, mentioning some games he had to save. Finally he set it on the shelf opposite the couch, sayimg he’d see it when they left. Again, Ewynn demanded his trousers.

The rat girl slipped out of her school uniform while the fox boy pulled his pants down. Too anxious to wait, Ewynn grabbed the front of Wally’s shorts and yanked them down. His penis had emerged from it sheath. She eagerly fondled and nuzzled it to hardness. She licked it once, watching his face as she did. The corners of his mouth curled up and his ears flicked back, so she did it again. And again. And kept doing it. She licked his shaft up and down, sniffed at his sack, took his tip into her mouth and sucked. She licked around and around his tip like a lollipop, giggling at his happy moans. It wasn’t long before he warned her that he was about to come.

“No!” she cried. “I don’t wanna swallow your cum! I want it in my pussy! C’mon Wally, put it inside me!”

She hauled off his shorts, pushing him back on the couch. Her own panties joined them, her bra on top. She didn’t let him get up, but pounced on him, knees spread over his hips. She grabbed her tube of lube, quickly spread the gel on him and more between her lips. Then she positioned his tip against her hole. She sat back, letting his penis slip inside her with a ragged sigh. She leaned over him, a slow grin spreading her mouth open.

“Only hurts a little this time,” she said. ”It’s so good!”

She started rocking back and forth, pulling him out and pushing him back in again.

“You really want it!” Wally said.

“I really want you Wally, you dumb ass!” She sighed as she pushed his penis deeper into her vagina. “I love you. I want you!”

She leaned over him again, close enough to lick at his mouth. He reached back with his long fox tongue and stroked hers as she continued to rock, lift, plunge, working him inside her. He humped back, pushing up into her with his hips and tail. It wasn’t long before his face took an anxious look.

“I’m gonna cum,” he said.

“Inside me!” she whispered.

She rocked in short strokes down on him. At last he cried out, staring in shock at her, ears pulled fully back. She grinned as she pushed him as deeply into herself as she could. She made little, soft cries with each spurt of fox cream inside her. When he’d done, she laid down on top of him, cuddling her muzzle under his chin.

“More!” she sighed. “Fuck, I’ll never get enough of you!”

Applause struck like thunder. Ewynn gasped and looked up. Two boys were standing in the doorway to the livingroom, another fox and a bear with rope, watching them.

“Biff, Sully, c’mon in,” Wally said. “I got her warmed up for us.”

“What the fuck are you doing here!” Ewynn yelled.

Wally grabbed her around her neck. “Relax, girlfriend,” he said. “We’re gonna have a party.”

“Fuck off! I never said... I’m your girlfriend, I only want you! I’m not doin’ anything with them!”

“Sure you are!” the other fox boy said. “We saw how bad you want it.”

“More! More!” the bear mocked. “I’ll never get enough!”

“No!” Ewynn screamed, but then the three boys were on her.

Ewynn struggled, but the two fox boys held her down as the bear tied her arms behind her back and her leg to the foot of the couch. Wally stuffed his shorts into her mouth, tying her own panties over them and behind her head to keep them in place. The other boys pulled their trousers off and their shorts after. Wally held her by her throat, a shit-eating grin on his face, as the bear yanked her naked tail up. She shook her head no, her eyes pleading.

“Yeah bitch,” the bear said, “we know you want it.”

There was a sound of thunder. Stinging smoke filled the air. A voice cried, “What the hell is going on here!”

Wally looked up. Through the haze a figure came in the door, holding a shotgun.

“Grandpa?” he exclaimed.

“That was rock salt!” he yelled. “The rest of the magazine is bird shot and I don’t give a fuck if I kill you! Turn the fuck away from me and put your heads behind your fucking heads! Now!”

The grandfather worked the magazine, loading another round into the shotgun’s chamber. The boys quietly obeyed. He let them put their pants on one at a time. He made Wally kneel down, then marched Biff and Sully to the door, warning them what he’d do to them if they staid anywhere near. When he returned to the livingroom, he caught Wally on his feet, moving towards his phone. He clubbed the boy in his face with the butt of his shotgun.

“I told you to stay on your knees!” he screamed.

“I’m getting my phone...”

“Wrong! You’re getting upstairs to your father’s old room and staying there until your father comes to get you! And he’s gonna hear about this from me, not you! Now march!”

Grandfather pushed the mouth of the shotgun into Wally’s face, pulled his hands behind his back and frog-marched him away. He passed by the livingroom door once, returning shortly. He pulled a medicine bottle out of his pocket, put a pill under his tongue and started untying Ewynn.

“Wally is locked in his room, he won’t bother us again,” he assured Ewynn. “Those other boys are gone as far as I can see. Now as soon as you’re dressed, I’d like to know what the hell was going on here!”

#

“So you and my grandson, you wanted it with him?”

“He was my boyfriend. I was in love with him. I... yeah, I wanted him.”

“But those other two boys?”

“He never said anything about a party!” Ewynn growled. “He doesn’t know the difference between a girl who really wants him and a fucking slut! I’m not a slut!”

“You pronounce it I Win, right?” (She nodded.) “Ewynn, I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in that boy. His father isn’t raising him right. That should never have happened.”

“Right? And I was really into him! Wally coulda had anything he wanted from me, as much as he wanted, I wanted it too, with him! If he just respected that! But he had to think I’m just a slut or something. That’s what really hurts.”

“Well I think I understand what happened here. I guess it’s time to phone his dad. That’s Wally’s phone over on the mantle, isn’t it?” (Ewynn nodded.) “His dad’s more likely to answer that than my landline,” He sighed. “My grandson isn’t the only thing we disagree about.”

Grandfather went to the shelf over his fireplace and picked up Wally’s phone. He stared at the screen. “What’s this?” he said. Ewynn stood and took it from him.

“Oh my fucking god! It’s YouTube! He was recording this!”

“Well you better call them and tell them to take it down!”

“It’s still recording!” She worked the interface, her face and hands lit softly by the glow of the screen. “There, I stopped the recording and cancelled the save, it’s gone. It’s just lucky he wasn’t livestreaming it... only I thought for a second it was... but it’s gone now. Fuck Wally, I’ll never forgive him!”

“You shouldn’t. Give me the phone so I can call his father. Just wait here...”

The grandfather took Wally’s phone into another room, leaving Ewynn in the livingroom. Ewynn heard his voice softly, then loudly, then gekkering, angrier by the minute. Finally it stopped and he came back, collapsed into an arm chair. His tail was bristled and his ears were back, their insides flushed dangerously. He panted at first, then took deep, slow breaths, blowing each one out.

“His father is coming,” he said. “You’d better leave before he arrives... oh... ow... ah!”

The grandfather bent over, clutching at his chest. He reached into his pocket, trembling, brought out a pill bottle, dropped it on the floor. Ewynn hurried over and picked it up for him.

“Are you okay?”

“No. It’s angina. I need my medicine. Please, give me a pill.”

Ewynn got out a pill. She tried to hand it to him, but his hands were shaking and he was whimpering. She lifted his chin in one hand, pressed the pill to his lips with the other.

“Under my tongue,” he moaned.

The grandfather opened his mouth and raised his tongue. Ewynn put it under and he closed his mouth. Slowly he relaxed.

“I’d better stay.”

But the grandfather shook his head. “I’ll be all right by the time Walter gets here. I’ll just have to avoid getting mad somehow. Walter is Wally’s father. I’m Walt, by he way. Everybody calls me Walt. Walter never liked being Junior, so he named his son Walter too and now I’m Walter the First!” He chuckled. “Seems awfully pretentious, but Walter really hated being Junior!” He patted Ewynn’s hand. “Thank you, dear, you might have saved my life. It’s damn lucky I didn’t forget my nitroglycerine pills again, I’m always forgetting them. But you’d better go home. It’s gonna be bad when his father gets here.”

“Are you sure? I could stay, I know emergency first aid.”

Walt shook his head. “Go on. This has happened before, I know I’ll be okay now. Say, Ewynn? (Pretty name.) If you need to talk to someone about what happened, well, you know where to find me. I’m usually at home.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“Walt! Everybody calls me Walt. I don’t care that you’re younger than me.”

Ewynn grinned. “Thank you, Walt. I’m gonna come back and check on you, tomorrow maybe, we can talk.”

Walt watched Ewynn walk out to the sidewalk. A figure on a motorcycle pulled up beside her. Ewynn gave her a hug and got on. The two boys who Walt had kicked out came running up behind as they drove off together. Snarling, Walt grabbed his shotgun.

#

Ewynn pressed the flats of her big front teeth against the base of Walt’s tip and rubbed. She watched the older fox’s face as she did. His broad, vulpine grin told her that he was enjoying the smooth texture. She added a little of her tongue tip, made his foreskin slippery with her spit. She giggled as his tail tip twitched. Encouraged, she caressed his shaft with her hands as well as her tongue. She let her fingers stray to his sack and gently squeezed the balls within it.

Walt’s churrs were getting a little ragged. Ewynn took his tip into her mouth. She sucked gently, still rubbing with her tongue. She started bobbing her head as well, taking his tip a little deeper, deeper still, working it like a pussy on his shaft.

“Careful hon,” Walt exclaimed, “I’m getting close!”

Ewynn nodded and started bobbing her head faster, sucking harder, squeezing his sack a little more.

“Ah! No, careful! Aaaa!”

Walt cried out. Ewynn took his tip as deep as her gag reflex would let her. Fox cream coated her tonsils. She swallowed, again and again, sucking hard between each spurt. Finally his orgasm passed. He lay panting, purring. Ewynn kept his penis in her mouth a little while, letting it shrink back into its sheath a bit, before she let go. She climbed into Walt’s lap and cuddled her muzzle under his chin. She gently scritched his throat. He rubbed behind her ears.

“You shouldn’t swallow,” he murmured, and chuckled.

She gave him a nip on his cheek, then went back to cuddling.

“That wasn’t your first time. Nobody is that good their first time.”

“I’m not a slut, Walt.”

“No, of course not!”

“I... At school, a couple of the teachers... They taught me. I was age of consent, though!”

“They still shouldn’t have seduced you. It was an abuse of their position...”

“It was my idea though! I...” She sighed. “I seduced them. I know what I want, Walt.” For a moment she was silent. “Maybe I am a slut. I just know I feel safe with older men.”

“What does your dad think of that?”

“Dad... Dad disappeared one day coming home from work. His car was parked at a grocery, we never saw him again. We think...”

“I know. Did the police catch the hunters?”

“They never even bothered. I wonder sometimes if it was them.”

Walt opened his mouth, a stern look on his face, but he shut it again and cuddled Ewynn closer instead. “You’re a precious girl,” he said. “You deserve respect.”

“Thanks for not being upset by my weird kink, Walt.”

“Thank you for not insisting on it. Ewynn, why? Why...”

“Why poo? I dunno.”

“I guess that’s why it’s a kink, you don’t know where it comes from.”

“I’ve just always been around it, kinda? Mom used to change my brothers and sister and me in front of each other and I’d see it come out of them and wonder about it? ‘Cause I knew how it felt coming out of me and I could see in their faces it felt the same for them. And I just, like, wondered? Even growing up, like when I got older and Mom gave us money for stuff, I’d give one of my brothers a nickel to make poo and let me watch. Then Mom found out and made me stop. But I thought it was something I really liked. I even looked up anatomy at the school library, ‘cause Mom always watched us online at home. I learned all about it, I thought I was gonna be a doctor, a proctologist, y’know? But then I got old enough to bleed ‘n I figured out it’s a kink. I’m sorry Walt, I’m grossing you out.”

“No! You... well, yes.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s okay. It’s just kind of a taboo subject... but again, that’s why it’s a kink. I’m not mad at you, Ewynn. Just... thanks for not insisting.”

Walt gave Ewynn an affectionate nip on her cheek. She returned it on his lower jaw.

“Walt, why do weird things keep happening to me?”

“Weird things?”

“All my life, I’ve noticed these weird coincidences. Like the time we went to the toy store for birthdays and there were Barbies on sale ‘cause they were dented or torn and some of Barbie’s accessories were missing maybe. But there was one perfect package with the sales sticker and nobody saw it but me and the cashier didn’t notice and we got it! I still have her. But sometimes it’s not nice. Like the time in sixth grade, we had to do a presentation about our favourite heroes. Everyone was, well, a couple of kids did their family and the class booed them and the teacher just let them. It wasn’t fair, but he was always saying freedom of expression whenever something like that happened. The girls all presented about Victoria ‘cause she always talks about girl power, but she and Boarealis only had three arrests out of fifty-three attempts. I didn’t even keep track of them since. And the boys all presented about Deadlock because he was mean and liked to hit people when they couldn’t fight back. I think the popular kids told the rest of us who to do. Nobody told me, though. I presented about Doctor Gizmo. I admired her ‘cause she doesn’t even have super powers, she’s just smart with her Gizmos. She was so brave, she fought with villains with powers and sometimes she won. And she’s a rat, like me. The other kids were making me see that they were ignoring me. Then one of them ran up in front of me and started yelling that Doctor Gizmo had defected and joined The Korps. He held up his phone and kept yelling. He showed me his phone, it was fucking Associated Press! I put my presentation on the teacher’s desk and sat down ‘cause there was no more point giving it. Nobody let me forget it all year. I was just lucky the new senior public school was opening next year and I didn’t see the other kids that much anymore. And that kind of thing happened to me all the time!”

“Hmm. Isaac Asimov once said that trillions of things happen everyday. It would be weird if there were no coincidences.”

“But ever since I did it with Wally... He was the first boy I ever took his cock inside me, in my pussy, before that it was just blow jobs. Since then these weird coincidences don’t even stop! Like yesterday, you coming home early just in time, then Mom riding by on her bike just as those other two kids came at me.”

“I saw that. That was your mom?”

Ewynn nodded. “It’s cheaper than a car, but really Mom just likes it.” She paused and watched Walt’s expression. “What?”

“Ewynn, you’re glowing. White, like an angel’s halo... It’s gone now.”

A sudden, loud squelch noise tore the air in Walt’s bedroom. A bright light shone from the outside wall and a circle burst open from it. Through the circle Doctor Gizmo leapt. There was no mistaking her black, buttoned-up lab coat or the pink visor over her eyes.

“They’re not the police!” she shouted.

“What?” Walt shouted. “Who?”

From below came the sound of a fist hammering on the front door.

“Police! Open up!”

“They’re not the police!” Doctor Gizmo repeated. “They’re from an organization called Illstar and they’re assassins! Ewynn, they want you!”

A loud crack sounded at the bedroom window. A shell was sticking half-way through the triple panes. A large pistol device seemed to just appear in Doctor Gizmo’s hand. She fired a stream of water at the shell. High pressure forced it back out. She fired again and coated the window in a layer of something hard and opaque. But the pounding on the door below became a loud crunch, then another.

“Come with me if you want to live!” she yelled. “Grab your clothes and get through the portal, we have seconds!”

Ewynn dove over the end of the bed. She scooped-up her school uniform. Doctor Gizmo shot more instant armour at the bedroom door. Walt tumbled to his feet and grabbed for his pile of clothes, but doubled over as he did, clutching his chest.

“My heart!” he cried. “I need my medicine, it’s in the bathroom.”

“No time!” the villain cried. “Ewynn, bring him!”

Doctor Gizmo grabbed Walt’s bundle of clothes as Ewynn grabbed Walt. Together, they jumped through the portal as the bedroom door started crunching. Ewynn stumbled and fell with Walt onto grassy ground, Doctor Gizmo close behind, knocked down by an explosion behind them.

“Kill it!” the villain cried and the portal disappeared.

Kneeling, Walt clawed at his clothes, pawing desperately inside his trousers pockets. “My medicine,” he moaned.

“He has angina,” Ewynn told Doctor Gizmo. “He takes nitroglycerine pills for it. Please, we have to go back!”

“Look at your hands, Ewynn!”

“Walt needs his...”

“Your hands!”

Doctor Gizmo grabbed Ewynn’s wrists and twisted them up in front of her face. In the artificial twilight, the glow was obvious.

“They’re glowing...”

“Three, two, one... Medic!”

“I see him! I’m on it!”

A jerboa came bounding up from a path on the far side of the park. (Ewynn noticed they were in some sort of cave, the twilight was coming from lamps in the ceiling.) He helped Walt onto his back.

“I need a doctor,” Walt moaned.

“Sir, I’m a psychic healer, I’m fully trained. I can help you.”

The jerboa put both hands on Walt’s chest, one right over his heart, the other feeling his shoulder, armpit, stomach, side.

“I see it. That’s a pretty nasty blockage. Let’s get rid of it...”

“Good work, Gizmo,”

A big, silver dragon was standing beside them, patting Doctor Gizmo’s shoulder. Ewynn hadn’t noticed her before and gasped as she finally noticed the creature. Karen smirked.

“I’ll take it from here, Gizmo. Go get supper.”

“Thanks, boss. Ewynn, I’m sorry for embarrassing you in front of your school friends. But now you’ll learn why I defected. See you later!”

“How did you know... How did she know?”

“We know things,” the dragon replied. “I’m Karen, by the way. Most people around here call me boss. For now, you can call me Karen. Frank, how’s it going?”

The jerboa was drawing a slimy growth out of Walt’s chest. Walt stared, but the pain had left his face. The hole in his chest closed itself under Frank’s hand. Karen handed him a specimen jar for the thing.

“That’s one heart attack prevented,” Frank said. “I just need to heal the vein, it’s in rough shape from being clogged. That should cure his angina.”

“Put it on pause. Frank, the dispensary is on the far side of the base. Your quarters are near it. What were you doing over here?”

“I felt peckish, I wanted some Taco Bell.”

“That’s unusual for you. You could have got something at home.”

“I... I just had my heart set on Taco Bell.”

“Okay. Carry on.” Karen turned back to the rat girl. “You just saved Walt’s life.”

“Me?”

“You. You have an unusual psychic power, kid. You changed Walt’s fate. (You might want to get dressed.)”

Ewynn started pulling her school uniform back on. “Fate?” she asked.

“Come with me. I’ll take you to somebody who wants to explain everything. Frank, I’ll be back shortly.”

“Yes boss.”

Karen lead Ewynn away towards a row of low buildings on the edge of the park. (She buttoned her blouse as they went.) The rat girl noticed several famous villains passing on the way, (giving the silver dragon plenty of space.)

#

“Do you feel better now, Walt?”

The old fox nodded. “Better than I’ve felt in years.”

“You won’t need those pills anymore,” Frank replied. “You have at least a couple of decades left.”

“That sounds good. So, uh, do I... owe you?”

Frank grinned and shook Walt’s hand. “On the house, buddy. Oh, boss, I’m finished with him. He’ll be fine.”

“Good work Frank, as usual. I’ll take it from here, go get your Taco Bell. Walt...”

“Where’s Ewynn?”

“She’s safe. The Korps is offering her a deal, though she doesn’t really have a choice. I’m here to explain it to you.”

“I want to see her.”

“Walt, if we wanted you dead, you’d be dead. If we wanted you hurt, we wouldn’t have cured your angina. Illstar wanted you dead. Mostly they want Ewynn dead, you’re just a witness. They don’t leave witnesses. That’s why we rescued you. Ewynn is safe. Okay?”

“What is all this?”

“You’ve already guessed this is a Korps base. That big dais over there controls the portal you escaped through. Know what, let’s get Taco Bell. This’ll be easier sitting down with a full stomach. It’ll make it easier for her to find us later.”

#

“Ewynn can control fate,” Walt murmured. “That would explain all the coincidences. And the defense department wants her dead?”

“Think about it,” Karen replied. “Ewynn is a sweet, kind, gentle soul. She’s a slut, too, loves sex, gets off pleasing lovers. What if the world was like that?”

“It would be a happier place, that’s for sure! Oh, Ewynn’s power could do that.”

“And that’s the last thing they want. Bastards worked hard to set citizens like you against each other so you don’t notice how they’re using you. Happy with yourself? Comfortable in your own skin? You wouldn’t want to buy expensive cosmetics and overpowered cars. And other stuff they sell.”

“The world suffers and they get rich.”

“Richer.”

“What about Ewynn?”

Karen sighed. “She has one of the most dangerous powers we’ve ever heard of. Now that she knows, she’s terrified of it. Good! Walt, we’re not going to kill her. We’re going to keep her safe. But we’re not going to use her power, no more than we can help.”

“Good!”

“The Korp aren’t fools. We’ll teach her to use it, of course. It’s safer for her to control her power than her power control her.”

“That makes sense.”

“She’ll live her best life with us. She’ll have productive, meaningful work to do and lots of older men to love and fuck. Women too, if she likes. And when she’s the only thing between the world and hell, she’ll save the world. Probably a few times. But only when we must.”

Walt nodded. “I guess I’ll never see her again.”

“Don’t count on it. She’s fond of you. We can arrange things.”

“What about me? When can I go home?”

The big dragon sighed. “Rose,” she commanded.

A little, pink, holographic fox girl appeared on the table in front of Walt. Beside her was a virtual screen. A newscast was paused on it.

“Hi, Walt,” she said. “I’m Rose. I’m an AI, I serve The Korps. You need to see this. It was on the air fourteen minutes ago.”

The newscast came off pause. It cut straight to a graphic announcing breaking news, then cut back to the news desk. Walt recognized the announcer.

“Fire on Twenty-Third Street,” she said. “Earlier this evening there was an explosion and fire at a house in the mid-town suburbs. Bob?”

The screen cut to a scene on a suburban street. Fire trucks and police cars blocked passage as fire fighters hosed down what was left of a house, trying to save the ones beside it. A reporter described what was going on, (which wasn’t really necessary), but Walt was staring at the houses beside the wreck.

“That’s my house!”

“I’m sorry, Walt. You don’t have a home to go to anymore.”

The reporter was saying that police believed it was caused by a gas explosion.

“But I don’t have gas service!” Walt exclaimed. “All my appliances are electric except my oil furnace. The family I bought it from didn’t have it installed, I never saw any point!”

“We suspect it was Thunderhead. He can make anything explode. Or anyone. Walt, you’re a witness, they know you escaped, they’ll want you dead. You’re probably a low-priority target, though. We can give you a new identity, set you up with a new life somewhere they wouldn’t expect. You’ll be as comfortable as you like, within reason. Think of it as an opportunity.”

“My son,” he said. “We parted on bad terms. Now he thinks I’m dead. Can I let him know...”

“Then he’ll be a witness, too. Illstar are pros, they don’t leave witnesses. Ewynn will be here in a minute.”

“She’s okay?”

“See for yourself.”

Karen started munching on a burrito. Walt looked out the window, Ewynn was just coming to the front door. She had a pink-purple visor over her eyes. Walt stood up. Ewynn came in and rushed into his arms. They held each other close.

“I just had the weirdest talk I’ve ever had!” she exclaimed. “She wasn’t making any sense and then she said something and everything she said made perfect sense? It was so weird!”

(Rose gave Karen a knowing look.)

“Who said that? Ewynn, who were you talking to?”

“I d’wanna talk about it, it was too weird.” (Walt nodded.) “She said, you can be a genuine, loyal, and good-hearted person. And you can also be a dirty, horny, little sex monster. They are not mutually exclusive. That’s what she said. I think she meant it’s okay to be slutty, if that’s how I am. I should just be myself. She actually said that too, a couple times. Walt, I like it here, with these people. I wanna stay.”

“And be a bad guy?” (Ewynn nodded.) “Karen says the alternative is those goons who attacked my house will hunt you down and kill you.” (She nodded and looked away, her ears and nose blushing.) “And here you get to be whoever you want to be and just live your best life.”

“Walt, I’m scared! I can change fate! That’s too much power!”

“Huh. I’d say it’ll all be okay, but maybe you should be a little afraid. You’re right, that is too much power for one person. So they’re going to teach you to control your power, right?”

“So it doesn’t control me. I know it makes sense, but what if I do something wrong? What if I... I dunno, change things without meaning to, before I learn to control it!”

“We won’t let you do that,” Karen replied.

“I’ll be watching you all the time,” the holographic pink fox girl added.

“We all started as learners!” Frank yelled from a corner booth. (Karen gave him a dirty look and he went back to his cricket gordita.)

“What’s important,” Walt said, “is that they can keep you safe. And they can keep the world safe from you. I know I’m leaving you in good hands.”

“No! Don’t leave! I’m scared!”

“Shh, it’s okay. I, um... Those goons, they blew up my house...”

Ewynn gasped. She pulled away a little, looked into his face, her own set in horror. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.

“Why? You didn’t blow up my house... Ewynn, no! Don’t you dare, don’t even think about it! Not until you know how.”

“I’m not letting her,” Rose said.

“What I’m saying is, I’m not tied down to anything anymore. So, I guess I could stay for a while, if they let me.”

“Okay,” Karen said. “But you’ll have to pull your weight. Before you retired you were a... machinist, right?”

“Master tool maker!”

“Good. I’ll assign you to K-Tech, they’ll have plenty for you to do. Rose, quarters for the couple, please. And burritos for the house!”

Rose flicked her virtual fingers and was suddenly dressed in a poncho and sombrero. The service staff disappeared into the kitchen, while several villainous patrons lined up to welcome the new recruit, (Doctor Gizmo at the head.)

“One other thing,” Karen added. “From now on you call me boss.”

This is a work of fan fiction based on the works of Karen King. It should not be taken as canonical to those works, (unless she says otherwise.)

Ewynn (pronounced “I win”) first appeared in “Jerry: A Korpmas Karol.” While writing up her character sheet, it occurred to me that it would be easier to do her backstory as an actual short story, so I wrote this.
