<blockquote><div><cite>Dream of Purity wrote:</cite>"Kat, keep this to yourself, please."  <br/><br/>Human.<br/><br/><br/>Human? Kat thought she had misread the word. Human, it flashed as if to ward away her scrutiny. "Human?" she whispered, her stomach suddenly twisting into knots. "You... you're a human? A... a... Half breed?" She spoke slowly, barely able to get the words out as the TAM spun, taking out targets faster than she could identify them. "Donta." She whispered. She was more curious than she could ever explain. <br/><br/>He was a myth, something all her studies told her would never happen. A crossbreed... She had so many questions, so many thoughts... He could hold so many answers. If she could get even a small sample of his blood, she could find a way to give human attributes to ferals, or vice versa. No more Hydrolizer. Her first thought was greedy, it surprised even her, so many other things could be gained. Alzheimer's, he could hold a cure for it, dementia,  anemia, diabetes, cancer. All made treatable by finding that secret link between human and feral DNA, that link held within Donta. <br/><br/>She shook herself free from her thoughts, right now, she needed to survive, and so did he. "You're secret's safe with me." And it would be. She looked out the front window, A TAM stood over another, rifle against chest. Who?<br/><br/>"Angela, there's three more at the rear of the school." <br/><br/>Angela? She was a human, and she hated Ferals, what was she doing helping them now? "She gets it?" Kat laughed. "She finally gets it." Kat smiled, "Where are we going?" She gripped the rails with her hands, knuckles white, the TAM moving making her uneasy.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>With the enemy now gone, Donta  made the TAM sit down, but he didn't move after he released the controls and the cockpit screen went dark.<br/><br/>"It's over." Donta said after a moment in the darkness, "Thanks for keeping this a secret. Yes, my Father is Human, but I've had my body altered to look completely Feral. I'm sure you can understand why." His body shook all over as he sat there, not because of the fight, but because someone besides a doctor had found out his deepest secret. Someone not bound by a confidentiality agreement. Granted he only met her today, but he felt this was something she would take seriously, but it didn't ease his mind at all.<br/><br/>A shaky hand reached forward and hit the hatch release, then the front door opened upwards with a hiss. Police rifles were aimed inside and Donta raised his hands, but they were quickly lowered when they saw two Feral students inside, clearly not a member of the Poachers.<br/><br/>"What you did was pretty insane, kid." one said. Donta ignored him and helped Kat out from behind the front seat, lifting her into his arms once more. Jumping down to the ground, he landed in front of a surprised girl pushing Kat's wheelchair.<br/><br/>"There you are! When I saw your chair in there, I thought the worst! But when I didn't see you, i figured someone helped you out of there!" she said, "Ah sorry, I'm Kate!" Donta forced a fanged smile and set Kat back down in her chair, his hands still shaking from adrenaline due to what had happened in the cockpit. He hoped whomever noticed his shaking would think it was because of the fight.<br/><br/>"I'm Donta." he said, "This is Kat."<br/><br/>"Ah, finally a name to the face." She said, "Being the only Feral in a wheelchair would get you noticed, but I've always wanted to meet you."<br/><br/>"Donta, was it?" said a gruff voice from behind. Donta turned to see a tall Lion Feral dressed in a Police uniform, "You and your friend did a pretty good job with those for your first time." he paused for a moment then is eyes narrowed at him and Angela, "This was your first time in a TAM, right?"<br/><br/>"Yes, sir." Donta said after a moment hesitation, "And you are?"<br/><br/>"Leon." he said, "I also heard you kicked a metal table six feet in the air, and took out a seasoned terrorist with one knee to the chin, all while carrying your friend there."<br/><br/>"That just happened. How did you..." he began, but Leon jabbed his thumb over his shoulder, gesturing to a van on the curb.<br/><br/>"Surveillance." he said, "We need to talk. Let me give you a ride home. Your Mother is worried. Your friends will be taken care of. We'll take them home as well."<br/><br/>Donta sighed and nodded, turning to his new friends, "I guess I'll see you later. Some first day of school..." With that, he flashed another nervous smile at Kat and left with Leon towards a waiting black car.
