Ooh, now this is an interesting concept! I like this idea, that there is even more going on with Kate that launched Neal to make an escape and whatnot. Very intriguing!

Would you believe me if I said that I actually like Kate?

Honestly? Sure. I was never really that invested in her either way. I was far too into watching Peter and Neal's BFF-ness, because they were so much fun.

I know Peter never seemed to like her in canon, thought she was using Neal to get what was left of the many things he'd stolen/forged, and you played on that really well here in the prologue. My own impressions, though, were that of someone just trying to survive. She worked for Adler and had it pretty good there, but when he pulled his scheme, she lost everything. She seemed to be attached enough to Neal at that point to go into a life of crime with him, learning the tricks of the trade that he (and Mozzie) taught her.

But you've got a good mystery going here. Neal was only a few months away from freedom, so why is she running? Does it still have to do with Adler and the many things he's pulling to try and get the U-boat? Or is Kate wanting their child away from the life altogether?

You've definitely got me hooked! :)

I've been having fun in the fic outline twisting around the events of the seasons to fit this twist. ;)

And I love the mystery of Kate, how Neal is so desperately in love with her an Peter really doesn't like her. In that area, I'm playing up canon with this fic. As for anything else, well...
