Memories of a Shadowy Past [knight-2000]
Nov. 20th, 2014 09:36 pmLittle Kira Rhianne Knight lived in California under the primary care of her guardian, her Aunt Stephanie. At age 8, her parents died from irresponsible drinking and driving--their carelessness was the cause of their own death. Kira was far too young to understand what happened, but she was still upset when she heard of their death, even though she was upset with them.u Arguably, she was too young to feel such mixed, complex emotions, but it was caused by the immediate sense of rejection she had felt since birth. She was an accident child, but the mother didn't want abortion, so she accepted the fate of pregnancy. Hell, she had been lucky she didn't have some kind of disease from their poor planned parenthood skills. They were drinkers, party-goers, hardly giving any care about their future and preparing for something more than what they barely achieved every day to get by.
It passed by quick for her, being so young-and the tragedy was not so great as what followed barely a year later. By happenstance, her Aunt encountered the rogue AI vehicle KARR, a black and white Pontiac TransAm on the run from police trying to stop him causing more chaos and collateral damage to his vicinity in California. The TransAm was moving at full speeds when it carelessly sideswiped her Aunt's Subaru at the slightest angle, causing it to roll as they were first pushed ever so slightly into the nearest guard rail along the highway. With little Kira in the car, more damage was done to Stephanie than Kira's smaller figure, but shards of ga glass gorged into her legs and sides.
Kira was rescued from the crash but Stephanie didn't survive because of a concussion and major whiplash. The impact affected her in different ways than it did for Kira-she clearly saw what was going on, whereas Kira had only wondered why the scary black car pushed them to the guard rail.
Frequently, when she opened her eyes and she remembered those moments of fear and surprise, she wondered why there had been no driver-but she couldn't be certain she believed what she thought she saw back then.
Devon Miles, manager of the Foundation For Law and Government overhead the report of the accident on the news and was shocked to discover the likely offender of the accident was one of their 'own'. It was an overcast day as KITT and Michael drove to the hospital the Medevac vehicle had rushed her to to speak with her about the accident to confirm rumors were correct. KARR could not get into the wrong hands ever again, so Devon had decided two things: to adopt this girl in hopes she could be a recruit for FLAG later in life, and reprogram KARR so that he could never cause more trouble like that again. After a few words and an awkward moment of which Kira thought Michael was her real dad, Kira was escorted out of the hospital to KITT, where she panicked, automatically mistaking him for KARR until she realized he was pure black, and KARR had a two-tone paint job. It helped the little girl was fascinated by machines and their aesthetic appeal.
Later, when they began to rebuild KARR and adamantly test and retest his protocols and programming, Kira grew tired of waiting. She snuck into an open garage not far from the maintenance bay where they usually kept KITT. She knew Michael parked him there a lot for checkups, and she'd often go with him to interact, because he told her about it. On her crutches, she hobbled along, looking for KITT and hoping he was there. Michael was in the administrative office so he had to be somewhere in the big mansion's premises, right?
A few days had passed after she decided she DEFINITELY wasn't afraid of KITT and liked him. She wanted to get to knuow him, and learn more about the car she feared; she was bored of resting and wanted to know more.
She wandered into the large open hangar/garage, and immediately set her gaze on KITT.,
"Hey, KITT?"
//OOC: so i figured we should do that flashback first-i wanna focus on little Kira's intelligence/perspective-i havent done so in sooooo long since writing that fic. i summed up the accident and the outcome for ya so i hope it makes sense and flows.
She wants KITT to tell her the story about KARR :3. It'd be something he'd remember later when she grows up im sure :). We can skip ahead as needed after they chat. Hope this works for ya...let me know on Plurk or something if it doesnt?
