“the woman was wearing blue scrubs and a white coat. with her pale skin and white-blond hair she all but disappeared into the thin curtain that had been pulled around my bed. she caught me staring and smiled, so wide and so pretty… this woman—she was unreal. everything about her”

i told yall i had been cooking. this is cate conner how i pictured her, the woman that no-one could ever convince me to hate.

“I work slow, piling the Cheerios on a plate, stacking it on top of the others, making circles around the one-room apartment. Finally, I get close enough to glance at the business card resting on the mattress. I bend down to pick it up, but pull back. My blood feels hot just looking at it. I kick the mattress instead, and the card jumps. It doesn't flutter away—it just flips over, revealing what's written on it.

There's a number, too, and an e-mail. She's written on it in pen: If you ever need anything, call.

I kick it again, and the card flies off the mattress, sliding across the floor until it's out of sight.

She doesn't get it. We don't need a damn thing from her. I don't trust her-not to help me, not to keep me safe. If the government wants kids, and she's government, then I'm staying the hell away from her.”

I want to know about her daughter. I want to know how she reacted when she lost her. I’d like to know about her daughter’s father, whether or not they were still together when it happened, what separated them in the first place. (Was it Rob? I didn’t think it was, but she’s the one in her memories right before her daughter was shown. It could be possible, and an explanation as to why he hates the PSI kids so much.)

I want to know how and why she got with the League. I want to know if what happened to that foster home that burnt down and her daughter’s (implied) death had to do with it. I want to know what the League was like before it all went to hell

Most of all, though, I just want to know about Cate. she’s a really interesting character, but we don’t get to know a lot about her other than little scraps here and there. We know that she’s a very nurturing figure for the kids, but she’ll also haul ass and totes guns like they’re nothing. It’d be cool to also see her perspective on Ruby, because their dynamic was really interesting and conflicting. I’d love to see her thoughts on really just about anything. even what happened when she first stepped foot into Thurmond and what she witnessed
